New Wave Enviro40oz Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Strap

La tapa es una porquería, la rosca se separa de la parte plástica.Hazte un favor y NO LO COMPRES!!

A great bottle for a great price.The metal cap is nice as it doesn't get slimy, mildew-y, or otherwise gross, and the seal around the top registers well. The straps that the bottle comes in are great if you're an outdoorsy person, but if you remove them, there are stains left on the bottle from the straps. Fortunately, though, these stains wash off easily with some water and soap.To get rid of the metallic smell and aftertaste of a new metal bottle, fill it with vinegar and water, and let it sit overnight, then repeat. It'll be tasteless after the second filling.

The bottle works very well for my needs. No major complaints.As written on the bottle, before use it needs to be cleaned thoroughly using white vinegar or baking soda. Before doing so, it had a classic metal taste. Afterward, no taste at all. The bottom of the bottle did deform itself outward after some water froze in it (increased air pressure). I used a hammer to put the bottom back into it's normal cup shape. Surprisingly it took very little force, which leads me to agree with others that it isn't the sturdiest bottle I've seen. Opening is relatively wide for easy cleaning and dropping in ice cubes. Cap is plastic with a rubber-looking gasket that seals it quite well - assuming you tighten it properly. Threads are metal on metal, so it's a necessity.Not really complaints - but good-to-knows about the nature of the bottle:* It's stainless steel, so it absorbs and releases cold/heat quite easily. Varying temperatures from ambient will make your hands cold/hot while using it, not to mention the inevitable condensation. An insulating carrying tote would be ideal - but I haven't found one for it yet.* The metal is a little soft/thin for my taste, but I'm assuming it was a trade-off of weight vs sturdiness. It will dent if banged around.* Obviously it's going to be a bit heavier than your average plastic water bottle. The carrying hole in the cap fits my middle finger perfectly, and it doesn't feel heavy when doing so. But I could see carrying it on a long walk might get tiresome.* It's a little noisy screwing it on and off - clanging of metal against metal.Again - nature of the beast. If you're not comfortable with these inherent aspects of metal bottles, you'll probably want to go plastic. If it's not an issue, this one won't disappoint.

Same diameter as a 32oz Nalgene/Klean kanteen (not 4.5”) so it will nest in your standard GSI cup. Single-wall bottle. The straps are not removable unless you cut them off. Mine does not leak. No weird taste or smell. Replaced a 40oz klean kanteen wide mouth. Solid bottle, I’d buy it again.

I just received 2 of these bottles. Cleaned them out with diluted vinegar overnight.My only qualm is the straps. Kind of useless and bulky, but you can take them off. Problem solved.
