Review on Optimized for SEO: Ultimate Direction Body Bottle II 500ml by Liz Trujillo

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Good concept, bad durability

The only downside I've found in the four months of using the UD Ultra Vest 5.0 is the apparent lack of durability of the two 500ml UD Body Bottle II Soft Flasks that come with it. Using the vest two to three times a week, just in the first two months of use, one bottle experienced a leak during a long run. I was able to successfully patch it and keep using it, but now two months later I patched a second hole on the same bottle and unfortunately the other bottle leaked at the bottom "weld" where it could not be patched. . So after 4 months of moderate use I throw the $25 bottle in the trash and have to buy a replacement. Very disappointing. The bottles were only carried in the front pockets of the vests they were intended for (so they didn't come into contact with sharp objects or the like) and I only hand washed them (so they wouldn't get accidentally damaged). in the dishwasher). Despite being handled as gently as possible (which shouldn't be a big problem when using something for wilderness explorers), PEEVA seems to separate at various points in the bottle, giving the appearance of bubbles in the bottle. material, and tears or punctures in areas of frequent flexing on either side of the top third of the bottle. I hope UD will continue to improve this bottle by offering its users a product that meets the performance and quality standards associated with the brand.
