Embrava Best Sports Water Bottle

I've owned a lot of water bottles over the years, from glass, to plastic with bladders, to aluminum, to everything in between, but this product has been the best all around water bottle overall. Pros: -Durability: I have dropped this bottle many times since I have had it ( some from multiple feet off the ground onto hard surfaces) and it still looks and functions like it just came out of the box. I have not experienced any of the bottom cracking issues I have seen mentioned in other reviews, so this issue may have been fixed before I received my product. -Functionality: One of the best parts of this bottle is that it does not compromise on function. The cap itself features a button that allows you to quickly open the bottle with one hand and also seals the bottle well when it is closed and includes a lock that is easy to open and close with one hand. The cap fits on snugly and does not leak, and when the cap opens there is a stopper that prevents cap from hitting the bottle and makes it easier to close. The water spout is also an excellent design and allows a smooth flow of water that does not require you to bite down on it and gradually damage the product. There is also a convenient removable ice catcher that is a great bonus. The strap is also is very durable and flexible, which is a major improvement on other bottles I've used either with hard plastic straps or no straps at all. -Design: The model I have is the 32 oz Gray bottle and it certainly looks good sitting on my desk. The size of the bottle is one of my favorite parts since I drink a lot of water during the day and the extra size over most 18-24oz reusable bottles makes it last much longer. The frosted finish on the bottle also looks nice and keeps the bottle mostly scratch free. The strap also has a nice black and white pattern that makes it stand out a bit more. -Taste: The taste of the water coming coming out of the bottle has always been a make or break point for me. This bottle does an excellent job of keeping water tasting like water, about the same as with a glass bottle, but with less weight. As mentioned earlier, the water also flows very well which only helps the drinking experience. However, I have never put anything in this bottle besides water, so with other liquids your mileage may vary. Since I only use water, I rarely clean the bottle and it does a great job staying clean and has not affected the taste. Cons: - The only con I have with this bottle is the design of the air hole above the drinking spout. This is only a minor con, but the placement of the air hole, which allows for the excellent flow of water, spills out tiny amounts of water on to yourself if you are not used to drinking out of the bottle. Even if your drinking technique is perfect this can still happen to you, especially with a full bottle, so a slight design change might be in order. With all of the pros and cons said, this is an excellent water bottle and the best one I've ever used. The one con may be a bigger issue for others, but I can easily overlook it since the rest of the bottle is excellent and that con has an important function. I highly recommend this product and I'm sure if you are looking for a durable, high capacity, highly functional water bottle you will not be disappointed.
