No funk.

By Chris Colney Ranked #380 - Water Bottles March 30, 2009

First off, the lack of the plastic taste I've grown accustomed to is a very nice change and the absence of funk is also a plus. The bottle is the same size and shape as its plastic cousins, but it weighs a bit more. I have a couple gripes about the lid rope though. You can't remove it without cutting the sucker off which is a bummer because this would be a great ultralight pot when all you need to do is boil water. Also, if you get a little dirt in the loop around the bottle, the rope doesn't twist freely with the cap but rather, it gets caught in the threads and that gets to be a pain when you're looking to take the cap off again. Other than that, it's a good bottle that doesn't carry the taste of the last drink at all so there's no need to worry about your water tasting like coffee for the next week and a half.
