Intak 24-Ounce Tritan Hydration Bottle, Olive Green

I bought this because being a regular gym goer, I must intake a good amount of water throughout the day. In addition, by being in the military, I am encouraged to stay hydrated at all times. This bottle is the perfect tool to enable me to accomplish that goal. Also, I was fed up with buying and throwing away so many relatively expensive 1 liter "sport" designed bottled water bottles. I wanted to save money and my trashcan buy purchasing the cumbersome, albeit less expensive 1.5 liter bottles (hey I'm trying, environmentalists). I would've gone with the 5 gallon jug, but it is just too impractical to pour and it doesn't fit inside my fridge (or my trashcan). Design: This is a tall and slender bottle made of BPA-free plastic, with a fairly solid loop for attaching it to things (and vice versa), which fits in with many other styles on the market. For grip, it has a wide textured surface running down one side, which also curves slightly inward, allowing a more comfortable hold for smaller hands. On the reverse, it has a dual measurement scale in liters and fluid ounces. The liters scale goes from 0.1L by every 100 milliliters up to 0.6L, while the fluid ounces is scaled from 4oz by every 4 ounces to 20oz, although it can hold 24 ounces. The look is very interesting and unique, as far as plastic water bottles go. Performance: Well, I have very large hands and it is indeed comfortable to grip. I assume that the textured side is where the fingers wrap around to, but in any case, you can have it on either side, depending on how you twist the cap onto the bottle. Now onto the cap, which is this bottle's bread and butter. It twists off with ease, opening the way to the wide mouthed opening of the base, which allows for easy pouring into and for dropping in large solid objects, like ice. It has a silicon seal inside, so it stays put with no leaks when you twist it back on. The mechanism for drinking is by way of a large thumb button on the front and a flip-top lid. There is a thin metal latch that flips up nicely over and around the button so you don't have an accidental discharge of all your liquid inside your bag or on the floor. The bottle is touted as no leak because the flip-top lid has a silicon pad underneath which creates a seal on the "spout" when closed. In fact, the entire mouthpiece is covered, protecting it from the environment. Another useful gimmick added to the lid is a rotating dial on top which is there to help keep track of how many bottles you drink. Usability: First off, I've used many different hydration containers with all sorts of mouth pieces and I must say, I don't like putting my mouth on stuff when I drink out of it. The bite valve used on CamelBak's bottles and hydration pouches is pretty novel, but I not only have to put my mouth on it (leaving residue), but also bite into it, thereby grinding everything it is exposed to further into the valve and sucking up whatever is left. The squeeze bottles where the seal breaks when enough pressure is applied is okay, but they just aren't solid enough for me. Thermos finally has it right. The flip-top lid works exactly as it should. You press the button and it quickly snaps open and stays there, due to a small silicon band wrapped in a way that applies constant tension to the lid, but is easy to snap close with one finger. The mouthpiece is perfect for me because it is large (but not too large) enough for me to basically pour a steady stream of water into my mouth for quick hydration. The true test is when you aren't thinking about it like, say, when at the gym doing high intensity workouts. The mechanism was so smooth (open and close) that it did not interrupt or deter me one bit. As for the rotating dial, it takes more than you think to turn this thing. Being smooth plastic, you really must put some pressure on it to rotate it, even with the grooves. It is still functional to me. Overall, for my purposes, this is an excellent and unique design for a hydration bottle. Because there aren't many porous internal surfaces, you can put liquids other than water in there. But, not for long and you must rinse it out immediately afterwards, so I wouldn't recommend it. Just an FYI, if you do not care about the rotating dial, Thermos also makes a similar Under Armour version which has a slightly shorter lid and smaller thumb button. The bottle also seems to be made of slightly thicker plastic, so it maybe could survive harder crashes. I can't really say for sure. It is also slightly cheaper at $15.99 right now on Amazon, but only $12.99 in the PX for those in the military.

This is my all time favorite water bottle. Easy to carry, easy to hold, easy to clean and has a super nice closure that has never leaked. I have several of these in different colors.

Good bottle, does the trick. Clear top makes it great for driving. Wish it was a tiny bit larger but still great - bought it for the counter on top to track my water intake

I've recommended this water bottle to random people at the store that happen to be looking at water bottles. It fits easily in my bag's water bottle holder that seems to have been sized for plastic 500ml bottles. It's not so skinny that it topples over easily. It has a very wide mouth when you screw off the top making it easy to clean and plenty of space to drop large ice cubes. The top clicks closed securely without leaking, and can lock closed, and screws tight without leaking. The top is easy to clean. It's ridiculously easy to use, clean, and reuse which is everything you could ask for.

I use this bottle for the gym. It is a great size for an hour workout. I love that the top flips open and closes to keep your drinking spout protected. I had a similar one that broke and was so excited to come across these. I purchased another one for my husband for when he plays tennis. The fact that you don’t need the straw like other bottles was what made it perfect.

I discovered this water bottle two years ago and now have 6. I take it with me everywhere I go. Coupled with a BUILT 20-30 ounce insulated tote that I also found on Amazon, my drinks stay cold for hours. Great way to get in those 8 glasses of water you should be consuming every day. It's spill proof and has an extra measure of security that keeps the lid secure. The newer versions have a textured grip and the contoured shape makes it easy to grip when you are on the treadmill. Highly recommend.

I find that I can't live without this bottle. I love how I can keep track of my water intake and it doesn't leak. Also, I like the amount of water you are able to consume at a time, more like drinking from a glass. Update: Went online to research plastic bottles by Tritan. After reading MotherJones News, I am convinced that even if this is BPA free, there are other estrogenic chemicals leaching from the plastic, even possibly more potent than BPA. Therefore I just purchased an all glass bottle from Takaya on Amazon. I did love this bottle but now I am not going to compromise my health

I actually love this water bottle. Easily my favorite after 37 years of using garbage, this one it the easy winner.

This is a good water bottle, has all the conveniences, pop up lid and carrying handle. I've had one previously and needed to replace that when the I dropped it and the lid broke. Some weak points are the silicone piece that flips the lid open, that one snapped on my first bottle and ruined the pop up mechanism, and the lid itself which is weaker than the rest of the bottle and breaks more easily. I dropped my old bottle many times, but the one time it fell on the lid, the lid broke and it was time for a replacement. Overall the bottle is relatively well built and great to use.

I love that this drink bottle is lightweight, easy to clean, has no smelly straw or complicated seal. It's easy to drink from and great to hold. The cap locking mechanism is easy to use and stays shut. No spills or leaks. I've been given a Frank Green water bottle and a YETI water bottle and still prefer this one. My husband recently borrowed it and loves it so I'm going to buy myself a new one! No, it's not insulated but I don't like super cold water anyway :)

Es resistente, practico y fácil de llevar y muy útil en el deportivo, escuela y trabajo. En casa se lava muy facil

Likes: Simple, easy to clean, light, easy to grab even for my small hand, perfect size, cover pops up nicely when I push the button. Blue color looks good. Dislike: Green color doesn’t show at all. I thought they sent me a black color until I put the bottle under bright light. Also, need to be careful with the little round silicone pad that seals the mouth. It leaks if it is not in the exact right place. Check for leaks before you put it in your bag. Overall, a great bottle.

Very happy can be carried by one finger loop through handle and lid covers spout so airborne germs cant get on the lid - very happy with it
