I am wowed.
I'll add an update to this once I have actually used this product, but I just wanted to go ahead and give my first impression out of the box.
Upon receiving this water bottle I am already in love with the company. In addition to the product I purchased they also sent me a hydration flask, a sports cap, and a sticker. Which I just thought was super cool of them.
First impressions: The water bottle and flask feel like the same durable material as the vector water container I already own and love. I expect them to hold up and work just as amazingly.
I definitely feel like I'm going to be buying these for several people for birthdays and Christmas this year.
The two liter works just as well
After I got the unpleasant TPU taste out (with multiple denture cleaner tablet soakings) I was really loving my Vesica bottles - until I put them in the dishwasher. They are labelled as dishwasher safe but that doesn't mean dishwasher friendly. The rigid top section is now deformed and the soft mid section has a number of new creases so it doesn't stay up very well when the bottle is less than completely full. I am regretting running both of my Vesica bottles through the dishwasher - don't make the same mistake.
Great dirty bottle
I got this to filter water into on the trail. Works great. Is packed down nice and small.
