ADORIC Sports Water Bottle 1L, 500ML, BPA Free Tritan

Not cheap & flimsy, it’s very well made. I like it, decent size & comfortable to hold, just doesn’t fit in my cup holder in car, too big but that’s the only negative.

This is overall a decent bottle for the price. But there are 2 downsides:

1. The lock protrudes at the top, and hits your chin whilst drinking from it normally. This is quite annoying.

2. There isn’t a smaller hole near the top, so water does not come out very quickly, which can be both good and bad.

Overall a solid bottle for the price you pay.

I bought this bottle specifically as I wanted and easy ‘office bottle’ for cold infusions or cucumber water. I’ve been working on improving my hydration level and plain filtered water doesn’t seem to be enticing enough. So I needed a water bottle with a wide enough neck to allow me to throw stuff in, and that had a mechanism to contain it while drinking, and was leak-proof. This fits the bill perfectly!
It’s a big, versatile 1 litre bottle. To drink from it, there’s an approx 1cm diameter hole in the centre of the lid from which you just pour your drink – either in a glass or to drink from directly. The bottle itself has a wide opening with a little removable strainer at the top. The top has a double-lock mechanism to avoid leaking (you can just click it closed but there’s an additional lock to prevent it flipping open by mistake in transit), the bottle lid furthermore has an integrated rubber stopper that covers the drinking hole for extra peace of mind – this bottle doesn’t leak once properly closed, though you must make sure that the inner of the top is dry before screwing it on because you might get a few drops and initially if you’ve just washed it.
Because of the wide mouth the bottle easy to clean with a long bottlebrush (I use a wire one with a cotton section at the end to give the bottom of the bottle a thorough clean).
The only thing a bit weird about its design was a sown-on strap which would get in the way when cleaning – it would’ve been better if it had been made removable, perhaps with Velcro. In the end I just cut it off because I didn’t really need a strap – a full 1 litre bottle is not something you’d carry around on a strap. But that’s just a minor issue.
In all, this is an excellently designed water bottle that I would highly recommend, particularly if you’re looking for something to store cold infusions or something similar in.

I needed a water bottle to use onstage while playing drums, so it needed to be easy to use, secure and leak proof, and tough enough to survive being knocked around occasionally. I was having no luck finding a metal one, so I went with this.

The flip top is press-button operated and spring-loaded for easy opening. I have small hands but I can easily use it one-handed, popping the lid with my thumb and closing it again with the index finger. The press-button is firm enough that it’s unlikely to spring open accidentally, but they’ve added a locking catch as well so it’s perfectly safe for transport.

The filter wasn’t a feature I was concerned with, but if you’re putting ice or lemon in your drinking water then it’s going to help the water flow unimpeded.

The plastic mould is seamless and feels sturdy with just a little flex in it for resilience, but I can’t fairly comment on durability having only taken it out for a couple of performances, hence I’m not awarding it the full 5-stars yet. But it does what I wanted, and is quick and easy to use, so as it stands I’m entirely satisfied.
