does not drip, holding tight, can be cleaned easily (contrary to other recessions bothers me the partition did not, my hands are small enough), dries quickly and also summarizes the indicated 3 liters of water. The length of the drinking tube (90cm) fits my backpack. The angled shape of the mouthpiece makes drinking while walking easy. On first use, I was under the impression the mouthpiece tastes like vanilla, now the water tastes but neutral. No "plastic taste".
