Adult Sippy Cup

By Scott Pendleton Ranked #32 - Water Bottles November 1, 2009

For casual water bottle needs and the day to day, this bottle does the trick in a sort of novel way. For expeditions, especially with cold weather, I would go for just a standard cap because if you've taken Camelbak nozzles into the snow, you know that they are problematic with freezing. The same goes for this bottle.

Unfortunately the tab that helps flip the spout open broke off so it's harder to open the spout, but it still works. It leaves no taste in the water. It's BPA-free if that's important to you, though I'm not sure I buy into the whole BPA-free craze because I'm not sure what they're replacing the BPA with and whether that's really any better. I'm sure we'll find out in a couple years.

To be honest, I'm not a fan of the 0.75L size (it was a gift). If I were to buy my own I'd get the 1L. Not much bigger and the extra volume is worth it.

It is a joy to drink out of at first. It's basically an adult sippy cup, and for those of us that would drink out of actual sippy cups if it were socially acceptable, it's perfect. No spills, even when driving or walking. Eventually, the novelty wears off and I found myself wishing for a plain bottle. Sure, I can unscrew the cap and use it like a plain bottle, but then what's the point?
