Bottle Valve System
The bottle holds quite a bit of water (25 oz, 750mL). The bottle is leakproof. I like drinking from the straw – no tipping the bottle required. No unscrewing a cap, just flip up the valve and drink. I removed the flexible bite valve cover and just drink normally from the hard plastic straw piece since the bite valve seemed a little weird to me. I have had no problems with leaking with the valve cover removed – just flip down the valve when I am on the go and there is no leaking. The valve system seems very well designed. I generally sit the bottle on its side on the car seat or throw it in a bag with no leaking, just like a regular screw-cap bottle. The carry loop is nice – fits in your finger. It is easy to fill, with the wide mouth. It comes in lots of colors. Read reviews, ratings and comments.
