But the fatal flaw with this bottle is the lid. It cracks, rendering the entire bottle useless. This has happened to me twice, on two separate occasions, with two different lids. Didn''t drop it, didn''t smash it, didn''t load 50 pounds of gear on it. It just cracked. The fact that it happened twice suggests some sort of design or production defect.
Customer service is a mixed bag. First time it cracked, I contacted the company and they kindly sent me a replacement lid at no charge. Second time I contacted the company, no response. So now I''m stuck with a bottle with a cracked lid.
Overall, a great-looking bottle a sleek and unique design. But a bottle needs a sturdy lid, and this lid sucks, rendering the entire bottle useless. Sorry, GSI!First let me start by letting you know I''m a scoutmaster for a troop in Maryland so you know I do a fair amount of camping. So what makes this such a great water bottle?
* It holds 32 oz that''s a pretty good amount.
* Has a wide mouth opening for easy/quick pouring and filling.
* Has an optional/removeable insert in the wide mouth so you can take small sips or use a straw.
* Has a rubber grip that allows you to remove it, run a couple yards of duct tape around the bottle and put the rubber grip back. Very handy for when you need a foot or of duct tape on the trail or in camp!
* Most importantly a screw on top. Why''s that important? ''Cause the water bottles with the flip up tops tend to ''flip up'' in the storage area in my van on the way to camping trips and then we get water everywhere!
* Good price I think I got mine for $8
* It''s transparent so you have some idea of what''s in it and how much you have left.
* Well marked measuring in both English and metric
I didn''t notice any checmical tastes or smells as reported by the previous reviewer.

I bought two of these water bottles, and even after several months of use, every time I open the bottle, the water has a strong chemical smell. Hence, even though polypropylene is SUPPOSED to be safe, I am going to look for new water bottles.Read Best Reviews of Infinity DuKJug BPA-Free Backcountry Polypropylene Water Bottle Here
This is probably one of the best jugs I have ever owned. I love the fact that there is an actual string instead of a plastic "string" that connects the cap to the bottle. Also included was an insert that lets you just sip from the bottle instead of drinking. I don''t use it so I don''t know how good it is. Overall it is great.Want Infinity DuKJug BPA-Free Backcountry Polypropylene Water Bottle Discount?
Leaked from the lid the day I got it. Also was very bulky. Was very disappointed. Wound up getting a nalgene.Platypus Shut-Off Valve

Warning, don''t try to force a tube off of this if cold, it seals very well and will break (from experience). Just run hot water over the tube/valve and it will come off with a bit of elbow grease.
A prepared person will always carry items to repair hydration system so carry extra valves/tubes/quick-disconnects etc.
Oh, and if you''ve never used Platypus; the bladders/tubes/valves have a great clean taste!This handy little valve prevents the water from accidentally spilling everywhere. No matter how careful I am with my gear, an unprotected bite valve will eventually leak, either miles from a water source or all over my down sleeping bag when it''s cold and rainy. Not safe.
The smooth end slips onto the bite valve while the grooved end fits into the water hose. If you have trouble fitting the valve onto the hose, run some hot water over the last two inches of the hose, dry it off, then gradually insert the valve. You may need to run hot water over the hose several times before you get the valve all the way on. Get it seated snugly so there is no gap left to collect dirt, debris and bacteria.
For the price of a platypus bladder, this on/off valve should be included in the setup (some of the platypus competitors include it at no extra cost).

For quite some time, I have had the problem with my bite valve leaking while my pack is in the trunk. I have tried to keep the hose secure on top of the pack, but things get moved, or I''m in a hurry and end up losing half of my water into the car. With this valve, I don''t have that problem anymore!item works as designed. it is difficult to turn on and off because there is no handle or such.I added this part to my hydration system. It works great! The color is blue and clear, not like the photo supplied. Cascade Design website has image of the part.Grand Trunk Stainless steel water bottle Save 23% off

I used to have the arundel carbon bottle cages (now they''re retired, unused). They''re great cages; never had one pop out or break, but your water bottle is in so tight w/ the arundel that sometimes it''s really hard to get them out or in. It''s much, much easier putting in/outthe Vincero bottles, imo, allowing you to put them into the mount at many angles.
I never had a bottle pop out of my edge16 in the last couple of years of usage (I''m not lying; I have 10 of these and on all my road and mountain bikes, either on just the down tube, or both the down tube and seat tube). Just rode Elizabeth Furnace trail (super rocky and technical), I flew off the bike couple of times, but Vincero
bottle still remained on the mount.
