Laken Classic Bottle - 1L

This is a good product. I got the yellow one, it looks pretty sweet in real life.

Out of the box, I was surprised at how light this bottle is. It also does a great job at keeping fluids cold even in sunlight. Much better than various plastic bottles on the market. I mainly use this bottle in the gym, but I also take it out on missions with me here in Afghanistan. So far, it’s held up pretty well considering the beating it’s taken in my "go bag". Overall, the Laken Classic is a great product that I would recommend to everyone.

I'm completely happy with this purchase. The double-walled construction keeps your beverage insulated well, and the cap construction is key. It covers the outside of the rim where you drink from, and threads easily for quick on/off. The one liter size is great for a semi nalgene size bottle, although it doesn't fit in a standard cup holder. I've dropped it a couple times now, withs dents to prove it. The inner wall dented as well, but it hasn't harmed or affected any of it's insulative properties. My only beef is that the loop on the cap is of an odd shape — even a large caribiner won't properly fit on. I mean it clips on, but the small side of the clip doesn't fit under the part of the plastic cap, if that makes any sense. Otherwise, I'm very happy about the purchase.

Great. Cools very quickly, but also warms quickly. Luckily top allows for ice cubes. Water tastes great even after other liquids have been inside. Because of this, I recommend over Nalgenes. It does dent somewhat easily so not as rugged as cliff-proof Nalgenes.

I was concerned about plastic bottles so decided to try a metal one. The cap has to be screwed off leaving a wide mouth opening. This is fine for walking but would not be very good for running or biking.

Love it. I've owned Laken bottles before and were so impressed with them, I purchased five this time around (for presents). It's a light, durable, sleek looking, easy to clean, and the price was great. I use the bottle at work and tennis.

I love my Laken! Amongst a sea of Sigg and Oggi stainless steel bottles, it's refreshing to own Laken. Plus, the bottle colors are more vivid than my old Sigg and is by default wide-mouth.

I use this bottle everyday and it is by far the best I've ever had (better than nalgene or Sigg). The opening on top is bigger than sigg, but smaller than nalgene, perfect for me. It is not for running or biking, but perfect for hiking or everyday use. Love it!

Really good. I like it better than my wife's Sigg(harder to get the cap on/off, narrow mouth makes it hard to clean), and better than my old nalgene. Doesn't change the flavor of water at all, and so far it's durable and easy to clean. It will fit ice for cold drinks, and is even large enough for tea bags.

This is a good size to last me all day at work, plus I like the top--it's easier to unscrew than my small Sigg. It's big, but just barely fits in a car cupholder. I have the green--it's a really nice deep emerald color. I think it's sold out, but I bet the other colors are great too! The only negative for me is that with the wide mouth I sometimes spill it all over myself, but it's probably just me...

The 1L Laken has a great widemouth for ice cubes and easily cleaning, but the bottle dents easily (especially when full) reducing the capacity. I have no complaints about the paint job, I care about the amount of and quality of water I carry. The food grade interior coating does not change the taste of water and there is no concern with drinking too much from aluminum.
The screw top remains snug after a lot of jostling too, though its just as hard to clean as a Nalgene top.

good as any. better than some

i like this better than the sigg design we have. its larger mouth means i can put ice in it and i like that the lid screws on in a few turns as well as covers the rim where i drink. i use it for every day use and love it.

Not as large as a Nalgene, but BPA free, which is what I was looking for. It also has withstood quite a few drops successfully. Love the red color.

switched from swigg to laken, I'll never go back, laken is awesome, does not dent as much, nice looks, no flavor, hand made in spain, no leaching, all good, highly recommend.

I agree w/ all of the good recommendations...and it keeps your bevarages cooler longer...

i have used the bottle nearly every day since i have gotten it (about 4 weeks now) and it works fine.. i mean, its a water bottle. it holds water. my main complaint is if u leave water in it overnight it seems to hold the flavor of the liner which is very plastic-chemical like. it does the job but i would not recommend it for everyday use

This is a great water bottle. I've dropped it several times and though it occasionally dents, that gives it some character. :) Tastes better than from Nalgene bottles. Water stays cold pretty darn well.

the orange is a fabulous color. only problem for me is the other side of the bottle hits my nose whenever i take a sip. it doesn't happen for my husband so maybe not an awesome mouth for small faces. doable though for sure.

Great bottle. Stays cool and well insulated. Wide mouth for ice and easy cleaning with a baby bottle scrubber. Super light weight, only issue is if dropped it dents really easy.

I recommend this bottle for the same reasons as everybody else likes it, a semi wide mouth, no BPA, and does not retain old flavors.

Adequate for the job, but the real thing doesn't look like the photo. It looks less like brushed metal and more like it's been coated with a thick shiny shellac, and is more gold than bright yellow. I was disappointed about that.

Dents easily, I found out, and doesn't fit in my bike waterbottle holder - it would've been nice if they had provided measurements so I could've found that out *before* I purchased it.
