Review on 🚰 XLAB Hydroblade Water Bottle: Optimal Transparency and Versatility in One Size by Justin Rasmussen

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Poor design for sports

I bought this to replace my X-Lab torpedo which I had to remove because it was squirting liquid with every hit. It was pretty easy to install and was up and running in about 5 minutes. I was a little worried about the reliability of the hook that holds the bottle while riding, and it turned out my fears were justified. On my very first ride, going up a flat road, a bottle flew out and bounced down the road. I noticed my food leaking down the bottom when I picked it up. The bottle was pierced in two places near the bottom. For $50 I would have expected something more durable (maybe Nalgene) that could withstand a few feet of drops. I can't recommend anyone to buy this for the price.

Pros
  • Sports and outdoors
Cons
  • Not bad
