Laken Hit Bottle - 1L

mouth piece has a nubbins that gets in your way, but other then that a great bottle.

If you're considering this bottle, you may be comparing it with Sigg metal bottles too. I own them all in my constant search for the perfect water bottle. This one is pretty good...but not perfect yet. Pros: large capacity, easy to hold, easy to pop the top, wide mouth top that takes ice cubes, etc. Cons: very tall so that it is too big for many bottle holders, not the best water flow out of the nip at the top -- and as someone notes below, you can't squeeze it to improve water flow. (Sigg sport top a little better, I think...but not a wide mouth so no ice). The search for perfection continues.

I carry two bottles for work (a 12 hour day) the water taste great to the last drop. Easy to clean and fits well into both the truck and my car holder.

This is a very well made and EASY to drink out of water bottle. Simply turning it upside down and sucking on the nozzle gives good water flow and requires less effort than drinking a Frappuccino. Fits fine in my car cupholders. I like how the sports top is opened and closed without touching the part that you put in your mouth and is also covered if it falls to the ground. I would definitely recommend it!

So, first of all, when I got the bottle, it was dented...but I figure it would become dented sooner or later anyways, so I didn't return it (and pay shipping). But mostly, when I used it, it was hard to drink from. I didn't like the sport top at all! It's got a nozzle like a bike water bottle, but you can't squeeze it because it's aluminum! So you just had to kind of pour it into your mouth, and wait for the water to come out. Now, I'm going to buy a "classic" bottle just so I can use to top on that one. Supposedly, the classic top and the hit to are interchangeable. I think it's just a poor design. The bottle itself is pretty cool. The paint was chipped a little from the denting, but that's no big deal. And it does fit in my car drink holders, and more importantly, the water bottle holders on my jogging stroller. So, if they would just make this size with a different top, I'd be a huge fan!
