This bottle has everything the standard fly bottle has, but more. This bottle is a light design that makes it ideal for bikepacking, touring, or longer rides. The 500ml size is also very practical for a wide range of ride styles, so you know you are well equipped when you are heading out on your next adventure. The texture to the lower section of the bottle helps you keep a good grip when you are sweating on hotter rides.
The valve is also a simple designed, which allows easy cleaning and a high flow of water for the hotter days. The innovative plastic used for the bottle is designed to be odorless and is very soft, so squeezing water out and putting the bottle back in your cage is much easier. This bottle will improve your riding experience and allow you to push yourself further, experiencing new roads or trails. Adding in the insulation to keep your drink cooler for longer plus a cap to keep debris out of the nozzle ensures your experience with this bottle is nothing short of sublime.

I bought two of these bottles to replace some leaky polars. Really like the light weight, soft sides, smooth valve function (after I removed the dirt cover) and insulating qualities. My only gripe is that while one of the bottles is great, the other one is slightly oversized and deformed. As a result it doesn't slide into the cage as easily or squeeze as well. Didn't really notice the issue until I had used it and couldn't be bothered to return.
I bought several of these as the paved trail I ride on still has enough grime on it that an uncovered bottle spout attracts more dirt than I want to drink. The insulation is also very effective. If filled with ice water or iced hydration mix, the contents stays cold for about 3 hours even on 90+ degree days and bright sun. The only downside is that the capacity is just a bit over 16 ounces - so I carry 2 on hot days. I've tried other "dirt series" type bottles and they still collect grime on the mouthpiece. These are relatively expensive but work well, especially if you want to drink without swallowing some trail dirt.
I have tried several insulated water bottles and these so far have kept my fluids the coldest for the longest period of time. The lid works really well at keeping dirt of the valve, it does take some time to pop off the cover and get to the valve. Overall, a great product.
