 Plastic Cap is poorly designed November 12, 2008
The plastic caps for these bottles are poorly designed. Probably the manufacture did it on purpose so they can make more money on customers who need to buy extra caps to keep their bottles. The plastic cap threads are not properly made so it would not be thighten or losen smoothly. Then the threads are tripped easily. So you not only have to buy a new cap to keep the bottle, but also swallow the stripped plastic in the water.
 Great economy bottle November 4, 2008

I'm very happy with the bottle. Unlike some other reviewers, I find that mine does not leak. The colored coating is pretty tough, but does show wear after awhile - I would be more surprised if it didn't. I did find that the cap was a bit difficult to keep threaded the first dozen times I screwed it back on, but then it got worn in and is fine now, A great plastic-free water bottle!

I don't like the screw on cap too much - takes longer to screw on and off than traditional water bottles, but it serves its purpose.
 Tight Threads Leave One Drinking Plastic November 3, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The threads on this bottle are entirely too fine and not carefully crafted. No matter how carefully I thread the cap I end up with very fine slivers of the plastic cap floating in my water. So, instead of chemicals leaching from my plastic bottle into my water, I can consume the plastic directly.
The bottle cap design also makes it rather slow and tedious to replace the cap without thoroughly shredding the plastic threads.
Wouldn't give it to someone with low patience. :-) November 2, 2008

I like this bottle; the size is just what I needed, and the color is durable. I think this type of finish is preferable to the opaque paint-type finishes you see out there. My only (and small) complaint is that most times, the lid does not want to thread correctly; you have to slowly and patiently turn the cap. Not good for someone who doesn't have the patience to do that every time. I just get the feeling that the plastic that the cap is made of would not be able to handle multiple incorrect threadings. Maybe it could, but I like the bottle so much I am not willing to take the chance.
