I am so glad I purchased this water bottle after trying to find a simple squeeze-type water bottle with a decent fluid capacity that wasn't ridiculously expensive, leaked, and/or left the contents with an overt plastic/chemical taste. I was very surprised at how much fluid this bottle held while still not being overly tall and therefore a pain to set/remove while riding due to my bikes smaller/compact frame. There is no chemical/plastic taste, and the nipple works well and has a nice self-closing/collapsing feature, so you don't need to push it back in with your teeth before setting it like I was doing with my previous water bottle (which I'm sure wasn't very good for my teeth over time).
I can highly recommend this bottle as a go-to if you're a commuter like me that likes to do the occasional 25-35 mile weekend ride, but don't want to spend the kind of money on a water bottle that could get you another piece of gear or a part for your bike.
