I own one of these bottles now, and am lingering on purchasing a second. While I'm generally happy with this purchase, i have not pulled the trigger on what would be the second that is currently in my cart. Regardless you buy this bottle when you want thermal, and lightweight.
The good:
Lightweight, keeps drinks cold (there's wiggle room here though), easy to grip with sweaty hands, possibly the easiest to clean bottle ever, certainly the easiest to clean thermal bottle I've ever owned, great spout that allows drink to flow freely
The bad:
One of the most expensive thermal bottles, would prefer a larger size offered, while drinks are cold, my bottles from polar or camel perform much better holding drink temps, and while all three are close in external size, polar and camel give more volume
I am quite confident eventually i will purchase an additional bottle, but the price performance is really rough. It is the fact that i clean all bottles after every use, but my polar AND camel bottles have grown mold at some point which i attribute to nooks and crannies my bottle brush struggles to find. This bottle from elite is essentially a cylinder made to be easy to clean.
riding and running.
This water bottle is the lightest in the business. Nothing comes close. Perfect for short and long rides!
