Oggi Corporation 8052.8 Tritan 25-Ounce Sport Bottle (Purple)

I am looking for a great water bottle to carry on campus in a side pocket of my backpack. This bottle is a great size and shape, it''s sturdy, the price is right, and I like the color. But, and this is a HUGE but, it is very difficult to suck from the straw. There is a little rubber plug that should allow air into the bottle but not allow water to leak out if it''s tipped over. Well, water sure doesn''t leak out, but the plug doesn''t allow water to flow in when you suck so sucking any amount of water through the straw creates a vacuum and makes sucking difficult. Removing that little plug solves the sucking problem but allows water to leak or splash out. Also, the straw doesn''t fit snugly into the cap so I feel like I suck air along with water which is unpleasant and makes some noise (not cool in class). I like the bottle well enough that I am trying think of some modifications but I can''t recommend this bottle.

nice size to carry with you, fits in car cup holders. Very hard to sip your drinks though, I bought 4 of these for going on vacation and practically get a headache from trying to suck the water up through the straw,very well sealed to prevent leakage if tipped over but needs some work on the check valve that is supposed to let the air in as you drink.If you take that little plaastic valve out of the lid it works better but then leaks if leaned over, could see if maybe 1 out of 4 were a problem but all 4 were same, Ended up putting them in recycle bin where they belong....
