LifeStraw Go 2.0 - 500ml Stainless Steel Water Filter Bottle - Seafoam

I purchased this as an alternative drinking vessel to use along with a second LifeStraw water bottle, and so far it's doing what it's intended to do. I enjoy drinking water at brain-freezing temperature, which usually means a lot of ice. Unfortunately, this particular item doesn't allow for as much ice as I'd like because of the space required for the filter.I can't complain, as the insulation is outstanding: the bottle doesn't sweat, and ice is still present at the end of a twelve-hour work shift. If there were some way to clip this can on my belt, I'd do that although I suspect the sheer weight of the water bottle would have unpleasant consequences. Altogether, I'm enjoying this product and would recommend LifeStraw to anyone who asked.

My first LifeStraw bottle was a clear plastic 1L bottle, with the pivoting mouthpiece and carabiner/lanyard. While it was sturdy and well-made, there were a few issues when it was time to clean the inside - namely, the tight internal curves and narrow mouth of the bottle, in addition to the inside of the cap and the built-in straw channel. It become dirty, since the plastic likes to hold on to stuff over time.My partner and I recently saw the new metal and plastic bottle designs, noting that they had gentler internal curves and simpler caps. So, I bought this one in Kyoto Orange with a Sunburst Speckle silicone base, and so far, this bottle is even better than my old one! The inside of the bottle is very easy to clean with a bottle brush, and the inside of the lid ... MoreMy first LifeStraw bottle was a clear plastic 1L bottle, with the pivoting mouthpiece and carabiner/lanyard.

The inside of the bottle is very easy to clean with a bottle brush, and the inside of the lid has easy access for a brush or sponge. The little mouthpiece on top - which has a nice ergonomic shape - even comes apart from the lid, is also easy to clean, inside and out!LifeStraw seems to have put a lot of thought into how to improve their designs, in combination with using robust materials and good finishes on the handle-cap, lid, and bottle - even down to the paint consistency and the logo cutout. My only advice: the silicone boot is a must-have for this bottle, since it loves to ring when bonked on something (including tables), so keep that in mind. Luckily, you can get one that matches your color, and it fits very easily.Overall, I was so pleased, we pulled the trigger on getting the 1L plastic bottle for my partner, which is arriving soon. If you're thinking about this bottle, it's definitely worth the money, and has what it takes to be a daily companion.

I've been using my Lifestraw bottle for a few months now, and here are my observations: PROS: I like that I'm removing micro-plastics from my drinking water, for daily use at home, and that I can travel anywhere, and use tap water safely and eliminate single-use plastic bottle usage. CONS: I don't like / find inconvenient the following: 1) The separate screw-on lid. When I leave it off, I find water pulls up through the straw and spills around the bottle on its own. This is really inconvenient because I leave the bottle uncovered most of the time while at home/in a hotel room. I mean, I don't want to be fiddling around with unscrewing a lid in the middle of the night when I wakeup and want a sip of water. 2) It's really heavy - as in, literally gives me a sore ... MoreI've been using my Lifestraw bottle for a few months now, and here are my observations: PROS: I like that I'm removing micro-plastics from my drinking water, for daily use at home, and that I can travel anywhere, and use tap water safely and eliminate single-use plastic bottle usage.
