Long-term companion - until that inevitable defect

Since then, I use it every day for study, work and at home they stehts night beside the bed.

Last year, the bendable portion of the lid had become leaky (a non-visible cracks), but I got kindly supplied by the dealer replacement.

Weight & Capacity:
For this much mentioned weight of the bottle:
210g empty
951G brim (more does not fit purely, if no lid on it is)

So maximum capacity ~ 741 ml (water droplets on the outside were also weighed).
How to get here at 750ml is beyond me.

Especially OZ is on the bottle 24, which corresponds to realistic 720 ml.

My Impression:
Thanks to the wide "straw" may straw to the bottle rather quickly (at least I (extrapolated in about 23 seconds)) drink. I transport is always only tap water, the bottle is odorless and tasteless (I am very sensitive). This also applies in the event that the water is already a couple of days earlier.

The rubber linings on the cover are quite sensitive. To protect the rubber coating of the inside of the bracket I have provided the compression straps of my backpack with a protective sheath consisting of a piece of heat shrink tubing. Nevertheless, the rubber coating dissolves now slightly at the edge regions. But such a bottle is finally also a commodity, the functionality does not interfere with this.

Danger in winter: When all pouring cold water or the bottle is cold and then warms up to room temperature there is a risk when you open the bottle abzubekommen a jet of water (I guess it is about 20ml, that depends on the capacity and the temperature difference ab). In order not to "showers" for, you can either keep his mouth shut before opening in position (it works very well - if one thinks it) or is screwed just before use once briefly the lid on and before drinking again. If you have a time had a drink, and the temperature does not change threatens a no wet evil more.

On the release button of the snap should give in fact a little eight. As a rule, but it is not inadvertently opened. Mir is so far the only happened three or four times and I only einfülle water that is not tragic.

Drinking arises, depending on the speed and level drinking a whistling sound. This comes from the non-return valve through which passes air while drinking in the bottle. This one felt in at least one review high "resistance" while drinking apparently stems there. But I think this is not so "hard".

If one turns the opened bottle upside expires only a little water. If you want to find out a bit more (because you just want to moisturize your hands), you have to shake the bottle. Seen protects the required and non-existent at this moment suction before the expiry of a larger amount if the bottle tips over open times or is accidentally opened.

The one-hand operation makes it possible to drink something in the car without having to perform any tricks. Just as easily it can be concluded the bottle with one hand again.

Conclusion:
I do not want to miss this practical bottle

Overview:
+ Robust
+ Absolutely tight
+ Practical size
+ One-hand use
+ Tasteless
+ Securely fasten / good to wear the backpack

Addendum 22.02.2015:
I wrote above "Last year, the bendable portion of the lid had become leaky (a non-visible cracks), but I got kindly supplied by the distributor to replace him."
The same happened to me last year. However, without exchange - I have not even asked if that's possible, because the bottle had already reached a certain age.

The problem is that the closure of the bottle the soft tube is bent in the lid during the opening and closing repeatedly at the same location. I type here on a stress fracture.

So if you want to use this product in a few years yet should not access here prefer. Unfortunately - because the concept of the bottle is really convenient.

Now Therefore, I come only to 4 stars - and this only because of the design. In terms of durability, there's only one star.

I have now changed to a Nalgene bottle Everyday Oasis. More content, not susceptible mechanics, cheaper but it is just an ordinary (field) bottle.
