Review on 🏞️ Sports Squeeze Water Bottle: 2-Pack, Leak-Proof Squirt Bottles - 28oz - Made in USA (Blue) by Bruce Willam

This is the first time I've bought bottles with one way valve from this company. I've bought other bottles from this company with no problem, but again they didn't have a one-way valve. The quality of one-way valve bottles is lower than other bottles. They are thinner (softer plastic) and the lids are difficult to tighten. On one of the two bottles I received I was unable to fully close the lid (see picture) which rendered it unusable. A more accurate comparison between the one-way valve design (red bottle) and the pop-up cap (grey bottle) is the number of steps required to unscrew the cap (see image). The top cap is squarer, more stable and easy to unscrew. The bottle with one-way valve has a screw-on thread, it is difficult to align and requires a lot of force to screw it all the way in to prevent leakage. Like others, I prefer the one-way valve design. If they can't make a one-way valve cap that works with a flip-top bottle, I wouldn't buy a one-way valve bottle from this company.
