Review on HydraPak Flux Collapsible Water Bottle For Backpacking (1 Liter) - BPA-Free, Lightweight, Twist-Off Cap - Malibu Blue by Richard Kuntz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Wow, super impressed!

I live out of a converted ambulance and having water on-the-go is essential for me every day. I've been trying to also reduce my plastic usage and move away from buying liters of water as much as possible.These seemed like the perfect solution but I was also really skeptical about how well they would work for me. Just opened the package this morning and I'm already impressed.I mix powdered electrolytes into my water, so the wide opening on these works perfectly for this without having to use a funnel. For the same reason, these are also really easy to fill with water. They hold their shape pretty well when filling, but I did set them in a wide-mouthed cup when filling to help with stability the first go-round. Not sure if that's really necessary though.The only thing I could see improving about the design is increasing the width of the handle so you have a little more clearance when screwing the top on after filling.Now, drinking out of these is a breeze too. Twist the top and suck out of it like a sippy cup or similar. It's well designed so the water won't just come shooting out, you have to suck it out. Which also makes the bottle collapse accordingly as you drink so it's never filling up with empty air. And just holding the bottle with your hand when you open the mouth to drink also won't result in water coming out when you don't want it to.Well thought out design. 👏👏Only question I have now is how well it will hold up over time.Highly recommend this product.

Pros
  • The BPA-free construction is safe for kids and adults alike
Cons
  • The twist-off cap may not be as secure as other drink spout options
