The good:
-It''s very stylish. I get complimented on it all the time.
-It is very durable, build wise. I have dropped it a lot and banged it forcefully into the sink while trying to shake the water out quite a few times, and there is only one tiny ding in it, that I would not notice if I didn''t know it was there. The paint has held up nicely as well.
-The top is nice if you want to hang it off your bag. However, I don''t recommend this, because the bottle (when full) is usually pretty heavy and just ends up swaying a lot when walking.
The bad:
-Right away, I noticed that the top spills when you open the bottle. When closed, the top is solid. However, when I have it in my bag, tossing around, some water gets stuck between the cap and the lip of the bottle, and this water squirts out as soon as I open the bottle. This is very annoying, and always gets my hand wet.
-When you open and close the bottle a lot (something that is expected from everyday use), the lining on the thread of the bottle peels off. This happened to mine a month or two into using it. It still closes tightly, but the bottle needs to be lined.
-The lining itself seems to go bad after a while. At first, I had no problem with it. However, a month or two in, the water inside the bottle started to taste funny, kind of rotten or stale. I''m pretty sure that that is not supposed to happen.
Final thoughts: this is a really cool bottle, and holds up to stress nicely, but I can''t trust the water that I drink out of it anymore.I found out today that this type of water bottle, that I bought specifically because it was BPA free, was not in fact BPA free and the company was aware and did little to notify the public of its false claims that lead to its recall. I was very happy with my SIGG water bottle, but I am not willing to pay $7.50 to have it replaced with a water bottle from same company that is claiming that the newer liner is now REALLY the safe version. I thought that''s what I paid $20 for 2 years ago. I do not trust SIGG products, I would not recommend using any of their products.

Ordered several of these for our family as we drink so much water throughout the day. We have been trying to cut back on using throwaway bottles and the Siggs make it easier to try and do that. Our kids especially appreciate the fun designs; the lids are easy for them to use as well.One caveat is that it is a little harder to clean than some other bottles, but overall we prefer the Sigg more than any other bottle out there.

One of the raw foodists recommended this bottle and I bought it. I only used the bottle for about 1 1/2 months and the liner near the mouth started to peel away. I tossed the bottle away and didn''t even bother to contact the company. Don''t waste your money.I have 4 of these. I like them they''re okay for what I need them for they''re a pain in the butt to clean if you don''t use a dishwasher... and I only like the spin cap''s because I REALLY hate the push in type. I dont even really like the spin cap because I do a lot of driving (Green I know!! lol) and its not always easy to put them back on and they kinda get pressure built up so it squarts when you open it. And you cant put ice in them. Ohhh well... they work for now.Liquid Logic Nautilus BPA Free Water Bottle (25-Ounce)

Update 5/30/11: It''s been almost 2 years and my two water bottles are still holding up great (despite daily use and being dropped to the floor a few times).
Update 1/7/12: One of my bottles got a 1.5 inch crack in the lid where you screw it on, doesn''t leak though. Both water bottles are still working perfectly fine.It leaks. I wanted one that would snap shut or seal somehow but it doesn''t. I even have to hold the cap down tight to keep it from leaking while I''m shaking some vitamin mix into it. It isn''t dishwasher safe either. I''m going to try a Contigo water bottle now. Those get good reviews...

Overall, I like my new water bottle, but find it has a few design issues. Biggest complaint is the flipper top it opens up real easily. I''ve had water spill out in my car when I went around a corner & it tipped over. Make sure you secure it in an upright position wherever you take it! Also, I would like to see lines on the side so I know how many oz of water I have left to drink. The metal carabiner rattles when I have it in my car. Pluses are that it was a good price, is BPA free, a nice size, and fits in the cup holder of my car.Read Best Reviews of Liquid Logic Nautilus BPA Free Water Bottle (25-Ounce) Here
This bottle feels very cheap and chincy, like it will break easily. But,to my surprise, it has held up to my abuse for 2 months now. It hangs on my harness while I work many hours on high ropes courses and it goes hiking with me and everywhere in between. It doesn''t look or feel like much, but that doesn''t really matter if its still working.Want Liquid Logic Nautilus BPA Free Water Bottle (25-Ounce) Discount?
I ordered 12 of these to give for Christmas. Out of the 12, 3 had flip tops that did not work and the others I wouldn''t trust in a backpack or anyplace they would tip over. I was disappointed because I liked the rest of the features (grooves for fingers, caribeaner, and color.)Water Filter Straw, Frontier Emergency Water Filter System

- The Frontier Filter is the ideal alternative to heavy, bulky and expensive pump filtration units when space and weight are primary factors. Activated carbon helps reduce waterborne chemicals and improves water taste.
- Use the Frontier Emergency Water Filter System to drink from any bottle, cup or directly from water sources.
- DUE TO CUSTOMER FEEDBACK- THIS ITEM IS NO LONGER BEING MADE WITH EXPANDABLE/BENDABLE STRAW-IT HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A SOLID STRAW

total junk. Came without one of the straws and wouldnt even pass water. Buy the lifestraw, it is a far superior productRead Best Reviews of Water Filter Straw, Frontier Emergency Water Filter System Here
I have yet to use this as it''s in my bug out bag. I have used similar products in the past. I would not even review except I wanted to mention that the straw is very stiff and straight. Frankly, I think this is a good thing but the picture shows the straw as curved. The straw and filter are very sturdy and rugged which isn''t obvious from the picture.Want Water Filter Straw, Frontier Emergency Water Filter System Discount?
So I guess we just have to guess how much water it is actually capable of filtering. it shipped fast thoI have yet to use this product, and I hope the world never comes to the point where I do, but after reading in Popular Science that this product technology is #1 for this year, I knew that it was legit. I would couple this with some iodine or chloride tablets, but this could be a life saver if you are in dire straits and need clean water. Great price for the product. At any sports store, I''m sure you would pay 3x the price.Velocity Bottle Trap (Black)

Smaller 16oz bottles slip in almost too easily, so I don''t think they''re very secure. Glad they''re cheap, so I didn''t waste too much money find this out.

Holds bottles very securely, but only fits standard bike water bottles. Be careful when attaching to the frame, since the plastic is very soft. Overall a good product for a great price.This is a great product. I love it so much i buy them for friends and family for gifts. I have been using one for a while. it holds my water bottle really well. the bottle doesnt fall out ever and if you bang into it the trap just moves. This is much better than a metal one. The metal ones you have to bend to fit your bottle really well and hold it just right. This all started when a buddy told me about his. so i tried it and loved it.They seem very sturdy but I can''t use them my bottles won''t fit. I''d return them but they are so inexpenive that the return freight will be more that the refund for the 2 cages I bought.
