Go Green With Hydrapak Recon: 50% Recycled Plastic Water Bottle, BPA Free, Smooth Twist Cap & Easy To Carry Review

I am always on the search for a new water bottle. I have a few requirements - It has a handle, it can be closed and put in a bag without leaking, it's easy to clean and doesn't retain odors. and it doesn't have a closing mechanism that falls on my face when I drink. At first glance, I couldn't figure out this bottle and thought that it would leak all over as it didn't seem to have a way to close. But it does! Line up the line on the lid and the bottle and it is open to drink - a perfect flow…

This bottle is made from a hard clear plastic (50% post consumer). You don't squeeze it like some sports bottles, since the liquid pours out rather than coming out through a pop up nipple. The lids pour feature is opened and closed by twisting the lid. A special seal opens and closes it. I found that after I washed it for the first time by hand, after that the lid squeeks, and has some resistance, which is slightly inconvenient. It has a nice handle, which makes carrying it with other things in

I appreciate the smaller size of this water bottle because it transports easily. The only downside is constant refills! I like the clear, hard plastic because it does not have that plastic taste that you get from a lot of cheap plastic water bottles. The twist cap took me a minute to get the hang of and not under tighten, thus "wearing” my water. I particularly appreciate that there is no straw, which is a germ-ridden, gross no no for me! As a connoisseur of water bottles as I use them all day,

I couldn't recommend this water bottle more. It's super comfortable to drink out of and to carry. It truly does drink like a glass, way better than having to remove a lid every time or trying to suck out of those other brands with leaky/noisy straws. It's super easy to clean. No issues with leaking, just fully close it and when you're ready twist the lid 180deg to open. Most of time I keep mine open unless I'm walking or put the bottle in my backpack. I will be buying more to replace all of my…

This plastic water bottle stands 10.5” tall. The bottom is 3” across. It’s a super simple design. You unscrew the cap 180º to open. . . and twist back to close.One thing the pictures do not show. . . . is that there is a "strainer” in the cap. The keeps ice / lemon wedges from clogging the spout.This water bottle does not include a stray. . .and you can’t really use one. . . unless you remove the lid completely. If you’re interested in a water bottle with a stray. . . this one is not the best…

So, I like this bottle. I use it at the gym because I like the wide mouth pour effect this creates when you’re drinking. It really is like drinking from a cup which was pretty clutch for staying hydrated and drinking a ton of water. The biggest downside is after you close it and the rubber gasket thing clamps down, water gets trapped at the top. That little bit of water spills out while carrying it, setting it down, or if you knock it over. It doesn’t fit in my car cup holders, which I don’t…

The biggest win here is that this bottle fits in my cup holder and I can drink from it easily without spilling all over. It's a nice size and should be good for travel once we can get out safely again!

I absolutely love this bottle. It is easy to drink from it without spilling all over yourself. You simply align the lines on the cap and the bottom piece and drink. has a nice carrying strap. the only down side is that the cap is very hard to clean the cap. You have to make sure that you remove the bracket and the cap and wash thoroughly or else it might mold over time. I took qtips and would clean it thoroughly. Other than that, it is great, fits in regular cup holders. I would still recommend

I love how easy this is to clean, how it doesn't leak, and how when twisted open you can drink or pour from it just like a glass. the carrying handle is super convenient and it doesn't hold on to smells like other bottles. leakproof enough that i can shake up my powdered electrolytes in it with no spilling or splashing!

I love this bottle. I love that it is clear and very easy to clean. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is that the placement of the handle can get in the way depending on where you use the bottle (e.g. in the car cup holder space). But, it is still a great product.

I feel like the mouthpiece needed a cap or something because I often touch it whenever I grab the handle. I was wondering why my drink suddenly taste like hand sanitizer, and that's why. It' also exposed? but I do like the overall look and won't be replacing it soon.

I absolutely LOVE this water bottle. It’s like the coffee sip from a Starbucks coffee cup. The spout fits perfectly in your mouth, excellent water flow, not too much, not too little. I don’t have to suck on it like on a straw, no mildew in the straw or lid to look after, just easy flowing daily drinking water bottle. I feel that I can drink as much water on the go now, with my 32oz I can easily meet my water intake without having to worry about it spilling everywhere. The refills are a breeze…

I got one of these bottles in a Cairn box and liked it so much, I got a second one. The flow rate is great, the twist seal is very practical for my work place, and the loop is handy.

I have a good number of Hydrapak water bags and accessories. And I love them.Does anyone know the width of the mouth of this water bottle? I assume it's 42 mm just like all the water bags that Hudrapak makes, but I'm not sure.

I am not intelligent enough to write an extensive review of a reusable water bottle. This one is pretty good, I haven't had any issues with it.

This is my second bottle from Hydrapak. The lid design is simply and efficient, it's composed of two pieces; an exterior piece made from hard plastic and an internal rubber insert which makes it super easy to clean with a long bottle brush. If you're looking for a water bottle with decent capacity, fits on most cars drink trays and like washing it regularly without too much hassle, then this is a great option.

I love the size of the bottle. It holds enough water for a strenuous workout. I also really like how the drink spout is like drinking from a cup. The whole set up is easy to clean and is dishwasher safe. My main issue is that twisting it from open to close is not as swift as shutting a lid. This leads to me often not twisting it closed all the way. If I knock it over or put it in a bag, it leaks easily. I know it's my fault (not the products) but it's an annoyance worth mentioning.

It's a hard plastic top with a sip hole and small air hole. It is a bit bigger than my cup holder. Might get dusty on a bike. Overall I like it.

Great concept but leaks while drinking. I don't want to hear my beverage. I considered returning this but I'm now outside of the return window.

I used this for a few months but every couple of days it kept getting black mold in the inside of the lid in the cracks where I couldn’t reach it to clean. I even got a pipe cleaner with vinegar and it just kept coming back.Also, I liked that it had the measurements on the side but the "200ml” mark was about 3 ounces when I measured with another cup, which means it’s incorrect….I also hated turning the lid to meet the line in order to drink. If you turn a smidgen too much, then you open the lid
