Comments about REI Flip-Top Stainless-Steel Water Bottle - 25 fl. oz.:

I bought two of these last year for backcountry trips. I strapped mine to the outside of the hip belt of my pack. It worked great for three days as it was easy to grab and take a drink without having to stop. It was a perfect one handed operation. The fourth day, I noticed my leg was wet and the cap had fallen off. I still use it at work as a water bottle as it stays cold for a long time.

Comments about REI Flip-Top Stainless-Steel Water Bottle - 25 fl. oz.:

Great bottle in so many ways, and I was hoping to give this 5 stars BUT flip top isn't reliable, or secure. I have 5 of these bottles and already 3 flip tops have gotten dislodged and lost! Also, I find the bottle leaks when the flip top does work. Please REI, work on this!

Comments about REI Flip-Top Stainless-Steel Water Bottle - 25 fl. oz.:

No problems with the cap sealing or detaching. The drinking opening is just a little small, and the painted finish could be a bit more durable. Read the reviews before going to the store and choosing this bottle, having studied quite a few in the past several months, and concluding that none are perfect. I found this bottle to perform very well in the past few weeks. It travels with me daily in an external daypack pocket, goes to the gym in a bag with a zipper pocket, and has been on one camping trip with temperatures from 50 to 30 where it was in the daypack or caribinered to a small bag. I drain it 3-4 times per day. Having experienced the bite valve style too, I prefer pouring to the straw or valve bottles.

Comments about REI Flip-Top Stainless-Steel Water Bottle - 25 fl. oz.:

I just bought this on Friday and went hiking with it on Sunday. The pop top came off three times - it seems inevitable now that the top will come off and I will not be able to find it. As others have pointed out - once that happens the bottle is useless because you can't close it. Wish I had gotten the conventional screw top instead...

Comments about REI Flip-Top Stainless-Steel Water Bottle - 25 fl. oz.:

Having non-leeching stainless steel was my number one concern for a water bottle. This bottle works very well for that purpose. It is fairly durable, but like any water bottle it has it's issus that you can work around.
The only time the bottle leaked (even with a year of daily uses and drops) was when I left it in my car and the interior reached over 120 degrees and the flip cover was secured. According to the laws of Physics, this will happen.
Yes, it was easy for the flip top to "break off". However, it could be expected and as long as you do not throw the water bottle with the top open (who does that anyways?) it was not an issue for me.
Occasionally when I dropped the full water bottle onto a hard surface, the top would flip open and water did spill.
What finally did my water bottle in was taking a dive from my gym locker (after numerous times) and hitting the plastic portion of the bottle (not the lid) at just the right angle with just enough force (it was full) that caused the plastic to break apart causing a permanent crack in the threads.
I just wish the threads on the bottle was stainless steel like the rest of the bottle. I believe this would leave it more durable. I will not complain, though. This is the longest I have used a water bottle without major structural issues. I will buy another one to replace it!

Comments about REI Flip-Top Stainless-Steel Water Bottle - 25 fl. oz.:

I use this bottle everyday. Fill it up multiple times perday. I have taken it on beach , hiking, and plane trips.

I must have dropped it 50 times, and its working like new. A couple of dings and scratches on it, but nothing bad at all.

The lid does come off if you push it at the right angle, but it didnt stop me from getting two.

Good buy.

Comments about REI Flip-Top Stainless-Steel Water Bottle - 25 fl. oz.:

I didn't love that the flip top doesn't close tightly - you can't place this on its side with liquid in it or everything gets wet. But the flip top also pops off of the lid easily - can't tell you how many times I've put it back on. Then today it popped off as I was going somewhere and it's lost - so much for a [$] water bottle! Thought REI would come up with something better.

Good capacity, nice grip, so easy to flip top and drink from. Perfect size opening for mouth. I filled two larger ones for my day hike and they fit beautifully into the sides of my backpack.

Comments about REI Flip-Top Stainless-Steel Water Bottle - 25 fl. oz.:

I bought this after Christmas and have LOVED it. I wasn't sure how the cap would work since it doesn't snap shut, however I found that another lid works great if I need it. I have used the "cap-cap" on other water bottles and this also fits on this water bottle. Perfect for times when I want to ensure NO leaks!

Comments about REI Flip-Top Stainless-Steel Water Bottle - 25 fl. oz.:

I thought this would be the water bottles of water bottles for my son to take to school. Second day of school, the fliptop broke off just bumping into someone. Bottle is now useless. End of story. Huge disappointment. REI, please make a sturdy replacement cap for this bottle.
