My first impression of this product was sleek design and of good quality. The packaging was great and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. The quality is excellent quality. Great that it can be used in the dishwasher. I was impressed with how shock resistant it is. I think it offers excellent value for money; I feel this product will last much longer than normal plastic sports bottles. I would buy this again and recommend it to others. My husband used this product whilst out climbing the 3 peaks and the 4 friends he was with have looked into buying the bottle. The only downside to the bottle is that the lid is not very easy to open with one hand and the catch seems fragile. This is an excellent item. It doesn’t cause the water to have the usual plastic taste that a lot of sports bottles have. It is a great item for using when doing sports. Aimee Mosley

On first impression I loved it, it seems easy to use and looked nice and loved that it was dishwasher friendly. It was simply packaged,
and well described on the packaging. The instructions were very clear and simply. The quality is excellent quality, very durable and easy to clean. I found that the product was great when sitting about the house but that when I was out running it was difficult to open easily without disrupting the run. I also found that it came out too quick and initially I spilt it on myself for the first few times. Unfortunately I don’t think I would buy it purely because the main reason I would want it is for running and it is difficult to open but more difficult to close, plus you need two hands to close it. The only area where it loses marks is on the ease of use when running. It is a great idea
that is well made and a good product but some design flaws with the usage. Paula McKinney

This is a smart looking bottle; very sturdy; a nice colour. The packaging was minimal but smart looking. The instructions were very straightforward and easy to follow. The quality is excellent; the product is very sturdy, no parts appeared cheap to me and to weaken through use. I do think it is quite expensive for what it is; there are cheaper products on the market that are more affective for the specified use. I would consider buying it. As a sports bottle for a cyclist this product is not effective. James found he needed to stop to take a drink when usually he would drink on the move. The push button opening and necessity to pour your drink into your mouth
means this is not possible. On the other hand, for me as a SAHM, it was perfect to carry around in the buggy. It was definitely leak proof and there was no after taste from the plastic of the bottle. It was also very robust as it took quite a few knocks and still looks like new. When my husband tried to use this bottle for his cycling it was not effective. It did fit nicely into his drinks bottle holder but he could only take a drink if he stopped cycling. This is fine for hobby cyclists but for my husband who commutes 25 miles to his office, drinking on the go, it just didn’t work. For sports that involve stopping to take a drink it is brilliant, especially as you can take a really good swig rather than squirting a small amount from a nozzle. Once my husband had finished testing this product I took it with me when I went
out with my son and found it to be really useful. My son was able to use the push button opening and as the bottle is impact resistant it did not worry me when it was dropped on the floor (many times). James & Emma Hawkins
