Review on ๐Ÿƒ HydraPak SoftFlask - Collapsible and Refillable Trail Running SoftFlask for Gel, Water, Electrolytes, and Nutrition: Stay Hydrated on the Go! by Brian Kumar

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Design flaw for one hand use

In hindsight I should have realized that the design of this bottle for the cyclist was doomed. The top nipple is designed to be unscrewed through the mouth/teeth and the top of the filler unscrews in the same direction. Guess what happens if you ride at a pace, take a bottle, put it in your mouth, unscrew it half a turn with your mouth, look at the road and squeeze it out? Maple syrup explodes everywhere. It only gets two stars because it still works for runners/walkers (or cyclists at a stop) who are willing to hold the top screw cap with one hand and squeeze it with the other.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
