I tried a few of the ubiquitous insulated, flashier bottles and this is my favorite for cycling. I currently own two of the larger, 0.75. They bend in the profile allows them to snap very solidly in the bottle cages, they are light and easy to clean and drink from. High capacity without being too tall and the large ones fit in my bike's frame triangle with space to spare. The orange cap doesn't seem to do a very good job of sealing the bottle if they are tipped, but I only use them on the bike and don't really need to rely on them to not leak when they are not upright.Although admittedly I don't use this feature, when the orange cap is pushed down,

I wanted a water bottle that will hold a lot of water and this one will. I was nervous about how big this is but it looks good on my bike and will handle my hydration needs. They are shorter than my old "standard" bottles but make up for it by their width continuing to the mouth. I'm not sure I like the fact that the lid totally separates from the bottle because I like to wash them out and let them dry upside down on my bike after a ride. That's why I didn't give it 5 stars. Can't do that with detachable lids. That is just a personal observation - I will change how I clean and dry these. The spout works fine and is a lot easier to use than my old bottles. I am satisfied with this purchase.

Its a bottle, its plastic and it works great. Dont know what else to say. The only functioning part of the bottle of course is the "nozzle" if you will and it lifts with your teeth very easily. I ride in the rain and dirt alot and always keep my bottles closed up so I dont get anything in. Many bottles are difficult to open with one hand and your mouth and this one is much more functional.I like the SKS products as I also have their front and rear fenders... It also has uniformly thick sidewalls, unlike so of the lesser quality bottles.

Wow. I had no idea that there could be such a difference between water bottles. Stop thinking that water bottles are all the same, cheap and utilitarian. These are great. It is soft enough to squeeze but not flimsy and it has a nice wide mouth. The cap has ridges that makes it easier to twist on and off. The mouthpiece opens easily, but not too easily. It has not leaked at all. Note: the directions say not to leave them full of liquid for more than 24 hours, so don't store them with water in the fridge.

Large, easy to squeeze, doesn't leak (at all), spout is extremely easy to open, graphics/colors aren't hideous.This bottle is pretty fantastic. And for $7? That's insane.There is only one downside, and it's extremely minor. The cap has tapered edges and can be a bit difficult to grip when screwing/unscrewing. It was a tad difficult to get off the first time, but i haven't had a problem with it since. You don't have to tighten it much.Buy as many as you can.

Love it. High quality with no need to try to "soak out" the plastic taste. It is manufactured of "Food Grade" material and is stamped into the bottle. The bottle is manufactured in Holland of polyethylene. I don't know about you, but it has been impossible to find a bottle not made in China. And if you want to know more about how the bottle performs, SKS provides all the testing data about the bottle on their website. Very nice!

This bottle holds a good deal of water, it is made of a soft squeezable plastic with pop up piece on top of the cap for drinking, the top also comes off for easy cleaning and filling also makes it easy to put ice cubes in the bottle if you want. Price on this item can vary wildly, so keep an eye on it and you get this bottle for less than comparable bottles. Really nothing special, just a nice bottle at a nice price.

Good choice for a water bottle. I also bought the matching SKS bottle cage. The two pieces work very well together. The cage holds the bottle securely while riding. The bottle is easy to insert and remove, even while riding. I've only had it for two weeks so I'm still waiting to see about its durability but so far seems to be quality made. I haven't had a problem with the bottle leaking and it is easy to drink from.

Carries a lot of water and keeps it cool. Best results if you freeze the water and take the bottle outside (in the South) about a half hour before you ride. I ride about an hour and a half each time and it keeps the water cold for that period of time. Any longer than that will produce some warm water pretty quickly.

Loved the bottle.I wish I would have bought 2. The size is great and you don't have to struggle with the mouth piece.The other bottle I bought from the local bike shop isn't as big (24 ounces ~ 700 mL) and I have to struggle with the mouthpiece.When that bottles wears out, I'm definitily buying this one again.

For a more "balanced" look I have both the 0.75 and the 0.5 version on my bike. They work well. The bottles have a rather intense plastic smell when new, but the water has no foreign taste. Like others have said, the bottle can easily be operated with one hand and a set of teeth.

Good bottle, it is easy to squeeze out water and it won't leak. the only problem i had was that the plastic around the side of the bottle(its black and says SKS Germany on it) started to peel off the day i got it. The bottle doesn't look as good now but it still works perfect.

Cheap, good design, no issues with the top closing as some other reviews mentioned. Gave it a couple of washes and there was no redisual plastic taste. It's a snug fit in my bottle holder but I prefer it that way. I will probably end up buying another soon.

Old school water bottle, no insulation, cool graphics. Fits the wire water bottle holder perfectly, not loose or tight. Wide screw-on top lets you put ice cubes in easily. Push on spigot works well and does not leak. Looks great on my black German roadster.

A good deal & fit our "standard" bike bottle wire bracket well. Minor issues: you have to tighten cap well or it will leak (its a rubbery plastic) & the black label helps heat up your H2O when in the sun. Other than that like 'em for the size, price & fit.
