leaks

I wanted to love this one! Took it out of the container, followed the short instructions, and filled with pre-filtered water to test it. Pros: The "straw" part is covered so that it will not get dirty while carrying. Many bottle skip this part. So the water is filtered, but your lips touch areas that come in contact with other contaminants . This was a PLUS! Lightweight, but held enough water Comes with a carabiner to hang on backpack No strange taste Rubber bottom to prevent slips (Another review mentioned that it tips over. I did not seem to have that problem. It appears they fixed that issue.) It arrived factory sealed so I knew it was not used Cons: The quality is mediocre. However the flimsy plastic also makes it lightweight. Made in China. Although not desirable, it is difficult to find one not made in China - including the more expensive ones. The deal breaker is that it LEAKS from the top if squeezed at all. It leaked when I drank as well as when I tipped and touched it. I tried multiple times by drying off the the top and tightening. Still leaked. Tried it on other bottle bases that I had at home. Although it was better with mine, it still has a small leak. Another person said that it tips over. I did not seem to have that problem. It appears they fixed that. However, I had to return because of the leak.
