🥤 XLAB Cool Shot 20 oz Insulated Racing Bottle Review

That's a lie. They pop up and even snap around on top when they hit the ground. Tried it on my tricycle. Even uses xlab water bottle cages. Total waste. General. Doesn't even cool the liquid. Buy a camel

Excellent while it dragged on. Kicked out of my gorilla cage about 200 miles after purchase. The lid broke on impact; but I'll buy another one Edit: the second one came with broken threads. Aggravating!

We love this water bottle so much we've already bought six. Do not throw. For a piece of plastic, they break fairly easily. We love them so much we keep buying them.

On my first ride with this bottle it jumped out of my gorilla cage after hitting the road (which it shouldn't) and smashing the bottle as it fell on the road (see photo). Really disappointed with the quality - the complimentary bottles proved more durable than these.

Good water bottle so far. Keeps water cool. I've used camelbak cool pads and polar flasks in the past and they keep falling out of my back cages on my tri bike. This bottle has a deep groove so it should stay in the Gorilla Xlab cage. It's still winter here in New York, so I can't test it on the road yet. One of my bottles came with a tear in the outer sleeve so this could be an issue if the bottle is dropped during a trip. The seller sent me a replacement. Excellent!

Pretty good bottle. I like the rubber valve because it closes very well and quickly, doesn't leak, and doesn't hurt ("bite") your lip while driving if you ever accidentally hit it on your tooth. I'm sure many cyclists have experienced this, it happens to me with hard plastic valves. Also, the size is pretty good for those pesky seatposts (used mostly in triathlon I think) that all the bottles seem to pop out of. out! I really like her. There were 3 in total. I will continue to buy them if they…

The product may be decent and fits well in the X-Lab holder but the product came with a tear along the seams at the top and we couldn't see it until we filled it with water and tried it drink. He poured water everywhere. The product must have left the warehouse damaged or broken in transit, but it broke before we even used it. I've ordered two, one is still crack free but now I'm a little nervous about the quality and durability of the bottle. I'll try the second one, but I have less hope of it

We broke 6 of these bottles. We broke 2 today. One started and broke on a small impact and the other fell off me. When we bought our new P3s last year we chose the Xlab as it was the most popular system you've seen in the Tri. We spent a silly amount of money and got all carbon on both bikes. On my first race my bottle flew out and broke on a bump leaving me without water. A friend of ours bought the same system and faced the same problem and started using giant rubber bands to hold her bottles
