Customer Review: The Best!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I just bought this bottle like a week ago and I can tell it's already better than a Sig and other bottles I've tried in the past. First of all, it's not aluminum and yeah yeah they Sig tells you it's coated and you don't have to worry about aluminum exposure. But let me tell you I've tried 2 of their bottles and turned them back. The first one I had the threads were not properly coated and I tasted aluminum every time I took a sip, and the second started tasting bad because I forgot to wash it only one night, One Night! That's all it took, and the bad taste would not go away, even after soaking it in baking soda and water, and after that didn't work, vinegar and water. Turned it back, got this one instead, it was a little more expensive but worth it. First of all there are a couple of great pros compared to other bottles.
1. Stainless steel - You don't have to worry about exposing yourself to aluminum or plastic that is said to impart chemicals into the water.
2. The cap is perfect in everyway, Leak proofed by a silicon O-ring that's firmly in place. The entire part of the cap that screws into the bottle is sealed off and is completely made of Stainless steel with nice big rounded threads so you won't have to worry about it stripping in the future. Something Sig bottles looked like they would have a problem with in the future, especially since their cap is plastic, and the bottle treads are aluminum. Stupid idea.
3. Wide mouthed opening
4. Lightweight
5. Taste-Free
6. Easy to clean.........And if you forget to clean it, there is nothing to worry about since everything is stainless steel, not some funky rubbery membrane that holds on to smells and taste.
But the main bottom line is, I'm now saving money by not buying water that is questionably pure from companies like Aquafina and Dasani, of which used to give me terrible heartburn anyway.
Customer Review: Excellent Metal Bottle
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
The bottle works very well for my needs. No major complaints.
As written on the bottle, before use it needs to be cleaned thoroughly using white vinegar or baking soda. Before doing so, it had a classic metal taste. Afterward, no taste at all. The bottom of the bottle did deform itself outward after some water froze in it (increased air pressure). I used a hammer to put the bottom back into it's normal cup shape. Surprisingly it took very little force, which leads me to agree with others that it isn't the sturdiest bottle I've seen. Opening is relatively wide for easy cleaning and dropping in ice cubes. Cap is plastic with a rubber-looking gasket that seals it quite well - assuming you tighten it properly. Threads are metal on metal, so it's a necessity.
Not really complaints - but good-to-knows about the nature of the bottle:
* It's stainless steel, so it absorbs and releases cold/heat quite easily. Varying temperatures from ambient will make your hands cold/hot while using it, not to mention the inevitable condensation. An insulating carrying tote would be ideal - but I haven't found one for it yet.
* The metal is a little soft/thin for my taste, but I'm assuming it was a trade-off of weight vs sturdiness. It will dent if banged around.
* Obviously it's going to be a bit heavier than your average plastic water bottle. The carrying hole in the cap fits my middle finger perfectly, and it doesn't feel heavy when doing so. But I could see carrying it on a long walk might get tiresome.
* It's a little noisy screwing it on and off - clanging of metal against metal.
Again - nature of the beast. If you're not comfortable with these inherent aspects of metal bottles, you'll probably want to go plastic. If it's not an issue, this one won't disappoint.
Customer Review: A matter of preference

After reading other reviews of these bottle I bought one of each, KK and New Wave Envrio in the 40oz size for field testing and the end result is that I can hardly tell the difference between them. They are identical in size shape and appearance other than the logo and so far as I can tell they are the same grade and thickness of steel, even to the point of being within a gram of the same weight without the caps. (that's 1 paper clip worth of metal)
In usage the only difference I've noticed is that the metal cap on the NWE makes a bit of racket unless you use extreme care when opening it. This might make a difference if you are trying to sneak up on some wildlife, but for general hiking use probably won't. Since it is metal rubbing on metal it might also cause the bottle to start leaking in 50 years or so. The BSP-free type5 plastic cap on the KK doesn't require as much effort to open quietly, but being plastic will probably need to be replaced in only 5 or 10 years, though at least it won't cause the bottle itself any wear.
End analysis: 46 cents difference and do you want a metal cap?
Customer Review: Nice bottle.

I'm no expert on water bottles, but this one is nice. My wife read that the clear/tinted Nalgene sports bottles may seep carcinogens over time when washed in hot water, so she wanted to replace our bottles with something "safer". I ordered this bottle and another one very similar to it. I'm very pleased with both of them, but I like this one (hers) better. "My" bottle has a pop-top closeable lid, but I never use it. Instead, I unscrew the cap and drink from the bottle like from a cup. I like the blue plastic handle/bottle lid on this bottle. It's comfortable to hook a finger through for bottle transport. The bottle itself is nicely finished and the silicone O-ring on the lid seals quite well. A stainless steel bottle is obviously going to be more heavy than an equivalent size plastic bottle, but this isn't a concern to me. I kinda miss being able to see at a glance how much water is in the bottle, but when the water is cold, I can usually tell from where the condensation is on the outside of the bottle. There's really not much else to say. It's a nice water bottle.Customer Review: Excellent bottle

I've been using this bottle for just over a year now, and it has gone everywhere and done everything with me. I'm a backpacker and die-hard outdoor enthusiast and demand quality in my supplies. I'm rough on my equipment and many products don't last long in my company, yet this bottle is still going strong and has not leaked on me once.
Sure, it's dented a bit from tumbling across rocky ground and scratched all to hell, but it takes what I throw at it and still continues.
Of course the bottle dents, it's metal. For the bottle to be dent-proof, it would have to be even thicker than it already is, adding excess weight to a bottle that is supposed to hold 40 ounces of water, which itself can be heavy for every-day carry. Dents are only cosmetic, and do not effect the integrity of the bottle. I should also note that the bottle doesn't dent easily, and a several foot drop with full water capacity will dent any metal bottle.
I was very surprised and impressed with this product, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great bottle at a low price.
