Contigo 32-Ounce BPA Free Water Bottle with Autoseal Lid and Carabiner Clip

I had an ancient water bottle I bought a grocery store for $1.99. I used it even as it grew worn and battered; I couldn't find anything better. I was getting desperate. I tried the Camelbak and didn't like it at all. I read a review of a new Nalgene water bottle. The reviewer said he picked "the Contigo" over the Nalgene. A quick search for "Contigo" lead me to this perfect water bottle!

After watching a demonstration video on the manufacturer's web site I was worried that the flow rate might not be high enough. I was wrong: it can deliver water faster than you can drink. I was skeptical of the carabiner loop on the top. It looked bulky and thought I might cut it off once I got the bottle. Now I that I've tried it, I like the carry loop very much.

Have now sampled the Nalgene, Camelback, and this one, and the Contigo is the clear winner. Bottles themselves are pretty much the same, it's the lids that make the difference. This one is both easy to drink from and spill-proof! Clearly the best.

Buying one 24oz bottled water at a convenience store everyday was costing me more than regular coffee shop visits. With one $15 purchase, I've recieved 32 oz of freedom. The bottle fits perfectly in your hand, the operation is flawless, and the carabiner clip makes it almost fun to carry around with me, on my belt, pack, or with just one finger. Since it is air-tight, any cold/hot temperature changes cause slight pressure, that will spray any remaining fluid in the reservoir all over your mouth/face/clothes. With a little practice this is avoidable though, and the thing that I like most is that backwash is virtually impossible. Take a drink off any other water botle, especially when you're eating, and then hold it upto the sunlight. It's almost like sea-monkeys!
