Laken Futura Aluminum Water Bottle Narrow Mouth Screw Cap with Loop 20-50 Ounces

I had used plastic water bottles for the past 10 years or so. I should have gotten a metal water bottle way sooner to cut down on my plastic use... better late than never.This bottle works just fine for me. It holds a bit more liquid than other bottles which seem to hold 17 oz standard. The metal finish is nice and smooth. No dents yet.A couple cautions. The cap requires a lot of turning before it's tightly on. It's kind of inconvenient, but this seems to be a common drawback of metal water bottles. Also, the cap needs to be on tight, otherwise it'll leak pretty easily; however, once it's tight, it doesn't leak at all.

My intended purpose for this item is a "go bag". It will not be used daily as water bottle but rather as a container for water purification and whatever. From the looks of it, the bottle will do well.The bottle is well made and seals well. It is single wall so it will not work as a thermos. The one thing that I will say that could be a negative for some folks - the threads on the cap are pretty fine so you will need to pay attention when you screw the cap back in. From previous experience with other brands I will offer this tip - screw the bottle onto the cap. Stick your finger thru the loop in the cap and hold it. Screw the bottle onto the cap. It works...Yes, I would buy again

This is such a nice water bottle, and for $10, I can’t believe I didn’t treat myself to one sooner. I got worried about my health drinking from plastic ones, plus it tasted icky. I drive bus for 10 hour shifts and 1.5 liters is the perfect amount of water for me. I have a stainless steel cup and just pour from the bottle all day. I just rinse it with soap about every other day, and so far no problem keeping it clean. It is amazingly light for such a strong bottle; I am not easy on things at work, and so far no dents etc. Fits nicely in my backpack. If the lid is on tight it never leaks, not even upside down. I got the medium blue color and it’s very handsome.

Love the simplicity of this water bottle; it holds a lot of water and its lack of insulation makes it as small as possible. The downside with no insulation is the bottle will sweat when filling with cold liquids, and it makes hot drinks impossible. I personally like room temperature water so it works for me. The downside... and it's a big one, is the design of the cap. For the life of me I can't understand why they designed it with so many turns. It may sound silly, but it quickly gets old having to do almost 4-revolutions before the cap comes off. I eventually shelved it because it's so irritating.

A great overall water bottle to use, however do note that the cap will start to become an annoyance after a year + of usage. I have to position it exactly in the middle and screw slowly in order to keep it sealed. If I do it any other way, water will leak which is frustrating since I have it in my backpack along with my notebooks. I always have to turn it upside down to see if it leaks now. Also if I screw a little to tight, it pops back out which never happened before. So despite the flaw, it is good enough to last a year + and it lasts me throughout the entire day.

I take this water bottle with me when I go hiking. This bottle is perfect for me because of it's size. 1.5L --Thank you! I had had a Sigg bottle, the same size as this one but after several years, and I mean several, it was time to replace it. Laken Futura Water Bottle is less expensive than other brands but does not seem to lack quality. Keep in mind that cleaning out the bottle is a little trickier if you are used to a bottle with a larger opening. Does not affect me, so I am happy with my purchase. Be mindful of waste and become a good steward to the Earth, stop using plastic bottles.

Ultralight...I mean it is really really light which is excellent. Fit and finish are excellent. No change in taste of my water. Very happy with the plain/silver finish and ordered two more in other solid colors. Personally I hate plastic water bottles...metal bottles are classy (at work or in the wild). Finally these are made in Spain. I trust that the Spaniards do not make their bottles out of stuff that will eventually kill me (BPA, whatever, etc.). I don't have that same trust in products made in other parts of the world. As you can tell, I'm pretty stoked about this bottle.

Get bottles, though a little of a pain to clean but that's the downside of narrow mouth bottles. I love narrow mouth bottles over wide mouths so these are awesome. The caps are easy to screw on crooked too and as they are plastic, the threads may wear down quickly if this is done often.
