Review on Fidus Large Half Gallon/64Oz Motivational Water Bottle With Time Marker & Straw,Leakproof Tritan BPA Free Water Jug,Ensure You Drink Enough Water Daily For Fitness,Gym And Outdoor Sports by Albert Wallin

Overall I would give this bottle 4.5 stars. I love the size, it really helps me get my water in. Especially since I can see how much I have to drink. I've gotten lots of compliments on it. I will have to buy a longer brush to clean the straw though because it's so much longer than what I have. There are 2 things I would change and neither are deal breakers because I have carried this with me everywhere since I got it! One is the carry strap. I have seen bottles nearly identical to this bottle except the carry strap is detachable and connects to both sides of the bottle instead of just one. I think I would prefer the one that connects on both sides to equally distribute the weight. The other to no fault of the bottle .sometimes the straw doesn't always pop up. It has to be in the right position in the bottle to pop up when it's open .you can drink from it without using the straw so again not a big deal. The rubber O ring in the lid really seals nicely and I haven't had any leaking issues at all. but be careful when washing you don't lose it. I would recommend always hand washing it. The rubber plug that seals the straw opening when the lid is closed seals nicely also. It too is removable for easy cleaning. Overall I love this bottle and seriously considering a 2nd one!Edit: after using for about 6 weeks the straw only pops up occasionally and even then it doesn't seal together that well anymore and you get a lot of air. So dropping to 3 stars.
