Snap or Screw Cap for Skiing

I bought this item with the intention of skiing. I needed a bottle that would easily fit in my jacket for days when I didn't want to carry around a full pack. I was between this water bottle, the same bottle but with a standard screw cap, and the same 0.7 liter bottle from Vapur. In the end I settled on a standard cap. The Vapur was of good quality but the .7L was a little large for ski jacket pockets and the lid was larger. The slip-on cap was strong, which I felt was a must so it didn't spill in my pocket, but it didn't screw onto the bottle as tightly as a standard screw cap, so I opted for the standard cap for security reasons. However, I've heard of people using the 2-stroke mechanism for skiing with no problem, but I still liked the increased reliability of the screw cap. The only downside to a screw cap is that you have to hold the cap once it's off, so there's a chance you might drop it.
