Great bottle for the money. Works as expected.

Really good

Slightly finicky and leaky cap.

These are a perfect water bottle, and the price point is hard to beat. The cap on his actually allows for more output than normal water bottles. This is really nice, as you really only need to squeeze once to get what you need. I’ve rinsed well after every ride and have had no issue with build up or taste.

I love it, the cap works pretty well.

No weird taste, no leak

I love it

Purist is the way to go for clean tasting liquids! "Watergate" cap kinda sucks though. You have to squeeze kinda hard to get the last 20% of liquid out of bottle. I like the "Big Mouth" cap better. I got the "woodmark smoke" bottle and it gets scuffed easily with the specialized rib cage II cages i have but i guess who cares. I think all bottle brands get scuffed/scratched easy which is why they are cheap. The "purist" coating is what its all about for me though.

A water bottle has 2 jobs to do: hold water securely, and deliver it to your mouth when you want it. The Watergate caps fail spectacularly at that second job. It's next to impossible to actually get the water out of the bottle. The caps also don't allow any air back in, so the bottle remains scrunched/deformed after you drink, so it won't fit securely in a bottle cage. I've never come so close to throwing away a bottle in the middle of a ride. These were an infuriating waste of money.

It takes a lot of squeeze to pressurize the bottle to release its contents. When it gets low it is almost impossible
