I bought 2 Elite Fly bottles 2 years ago and have been using them since. I also use a Nashbar bottle I bought 10 years ago. On 2 bottle rides I tend to use the Nashbar and one of the Elite bottles, on three bottle rides all three. After 10 years, the Nashbar bottle is still holding up, even its graphics mostly intact. The Elite bottle I use on two bottle rides is coming apart. The outer layers are peeling away, no graphics left. The bottle feels flimsy, but so far is not leaking. It looks like the inside surface is starting to bubble up a little bit, but so far the bubbles seem intact. With my other Elite bottle, the one that gets less use, the outer layer is starting to peel, but some of the graphic still shows. The flow from the Elite is more than the Nashbar, but the Nashbar is enough. I find I empty the Elite bottle sooner than I need to.
Bottle is just as functional as the older models and super light weight. New textured bottom half almost eliminates all of the marring that is visible on my older bottles. I feel that the bottle is also not as slick when wet due to the texture. Great buy.
Love these bottles. Easy to squeeze and easy to clean
Looked for a cost-effective light bottle and found it. Whenever I'm short on an order for free shipping I add one to my order.
Wow, this is an excellent water bottle. I switched over from the 550ml Elite Corsa and can't be happier. It's a very lightweight bottle with softer pliability that makes it much easier to drink your liquids. And it slides in and out of my elite cages very great ease and stays very secure. Waiting for more to arrive to order another one!
super light bottle, great for moderate temperatures
Inhad a problem of deopping bottles in races, the texture on tbese bottles makes it much better to grab and hold bottles even with wet hands.
