Very Nice

Rating:****

I'm completely happy with this purchase. The double-walled construction keeps your beverage insulated well, and the cap construction is key. It covers the outside of the rim where you drink from, and threads easily for quick on/off. The one liter size is great for a semi nalgene size bottle, although it doesn't fit in a standard cup holder. I've dropped it a couple times now, withs dents to prove it. The inner wall dented as well, but it hasn't harmed or affected any of it's insulative properties. My only beef is that the loop on the cap is of an odd shape — even a large caribiner won't properly fit on. I mean it clips on, but the small side of the clip doesn't fit under the part of the plastic cap, if that makes any sense. Otherwise, I'm very happy about the purchase.

Not bad

Rating:****

The 1L Laken has a great widemouth for ice cubes and easily cleaning, but the bottle dents easily (especially when full) reducing the capacity. I have no complaints about the paint job, I care about the amount of and quality of water I carry. The food grade interior coating does not change the taste of water and there is no concern with drinking too much from aluminum.
The screw top remains snug after a lot of jostling too, though its just as hard to clean as a Nalgene top.

Really good. I like it better than my wife's Sigg(harder to get the cap on/off, narrow mouth makes it hard to clean), and better than my old nalgene. Doesn't change the flavor of water at all, and so far it's durable and easy to clean. It will fit ice for cold drinks, and is even large enough for tea bags.

great bottle

Rating:*****

i like this better than the sigg design we have. its larger mouth means i can put ice in it and i like that the lid screws on in a few turns as well as covers the rim where i drink. i use it for every day use and love it.

Worth the moolah.

Rating:****

Great. Cools very quickly, but also warms quickly. Luckily top allows for ice cubes. Water tastes great even after other liquids have been inside. Because of this, I recommend over Nalgenes. It does dent somewhat easily so not as rugged as cliff-proof Nalgenes.

Cool Bottle

Rating:*****

This is a great water bottle. I've dropped it several times and though it occasionally dents, that gives it some character. :) Tastes better than from Nalgene bottles. Water stays cold pretty darn well.

Safe Drinking...

Rating:****

Not as large as a Nalgene, but BPA free, which is what I was looking for. It also has withstood quite a few drops successfully. Love the red color.

I recommend this bottle for the same reasons as everybody else likes it, a semi wide mouth, no BPA, and does not retain old flavors.

Adequate for the job, but the real thing doesn't look like the photo. It looks less like brushed metal and more like it's been coated with a thick shiny shellac, and is more gold than bright yellow. I was disappointed about that.

Dents easily, I found out, and doesn't fit in my bike waterbottle holder - it would've been nice if they had provided measurements so I could've found that out *before* I purchased it.

nice bottle poor lining

Rating:***

i have used the bottle nearly every day since i have gotten it (about 4 weeks now) and it works fine.. i mean, its a water bottle. it holds water. my main complaint is if u leave water in it overnight it seems to hold the flavor of the liner which is very plastic-chemical like. it does the job but i would not recommend it for everyday use
