I use this bottle a ton, like 90 days a season in the winter. My old flux 1L broke and I dislike the new nozzle. It is not an upgraded design. The dust cover adds faff to my drinking, I don't want to have to flip a cover and then unscrew. It also allows air back in now! Previous nozzle I would drink and get water and the bottle would not back fill with the cold winter air. This would keep my drink from freezing.
I absolutely love this bottle. I have two other 1L sizes as well. My fiancé and I have added the plug and play tops along with the hydro tubes and completely replaced our water bladders for hiking. I love how compact the bottles get when empty. They are lightweight, easy to store, easy to fill, easy to clean, and easy to use. Would highly recommend.
I loved the functionality of it, including the size, shape, and collapsibility. However, even after a baking soda soak and several other measures to mitigate taste, the bottle left an unpleasant taste in the water. I returned it.
I bought to take to Patagonia instead of my metal bottle to save space in my suitcase. It works fine but the water tastes terrible. Does it ever get better? Any suggestions to get rid of the off taste?
Great bottle, crushes up well and bounces back. Works with my sawyer squeeze.
works great ez to compact to save space. bouth flat or accordion style.
Great for climbing. Easy to drink out of and lightweight.
