Review on Go Green With Hydrapak Recon: 50% Recycled Plastic Water Bottle, BPA Free, Smooth Twist Cap & Easy To Carry by Henry Hunter

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Pay attention to how far you open it to drink

I really like the way this fits in my hand, the ease of filling it, its simplicity and its interesting lid design. You twist it shut to close it and twist it like you are going to take the lid off to drink. The only thing I frown on if you twist it an 1/8 of a turn to far, you will be dripping the liquid on you. The handle does not spin and is fixed, so where it meets the lid is exactly where I put my lips to drink, so it is a little awkward. I guess with manufacturing this may vary with each unit? That being said if i twist it just before that point I am disappointed with getting slow flow of liquid, if I twist beyond that point it dribbles out the seal and onto my beard. It took 3 days of use to figure out exactly where to open it to so that I get maximum potential and no drips. I guess my gripe is that I don't want to have to put any effort or concentration into how I am opening my bottle so that I can drink with ease and not wear it.

Pros
  • The 50% recycled content of this water bottle reduces its carbon footprint and helps to minimize waste in the environment
Cons
  • The bottle may not fit in standard cup holders or bike water bottle cages
