The bottle is super. When unpacking, I pleased to note that they do not so according to chemistry stinks far as other water bottles. A quick rinse with hot water and a dash of detergent and you can already fill his drink and go on the road. Carbonated drinks are also not a problem. The drinking spout is a good size and free of burrs. I had a concern that the bottle does not fit into the bottle holder in the gym because of the larger diameter compared to the 0.5 liter bottle, but that was unfounded. The loop connecting the closure to the bottle also makes a very robust and is well suited to take the bottle and carry. This bottle may not be the cheapest, but in my opinion one of the best out there on the market. My Recommendation!
