Best water bottle. Point.

It is very elegant, sleek, and I like to drink water from this Larq water bottle. The straw is also perfect and if you would like to, you can also upgrade this bottle into the filtered bottle flip top if you buy the separately sold straw accessories where the filter compartment is included. Thanks Larq.

Excellent for commuting

I was looking for a water bottle that was both stylish and functional, and I'm so glad I found this one. It's the perfect size for carrying around with me, and I love the fact that it has a straw.I also like the fact that it's made from BPA-free plastic.I would definitely recommend this water bottle to anyone looking for a stylish, functional, and high-quality option. It's a great value for the price.

Highly recommend!

It's leak-proof, durable, and easy to clean. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality water bottle.I use this water bottle every day for my morning workouts and my daily commute. It's the perfect size for carrying around with me, and it keeps my water cold all day long. I also like the fact that it has a straw, which makes it easy to drink while I'm on the go.

Impressive hydration experience

I must say that I fairly enjoy my LARQ Flip Top bottle. The ingenious integration of the straw makes is easy to sip water wherever you go. The carabiner enables facile transportation and latching to your backpack.I also love the color choices, although the paint job should be made more resistant for scratches and light hits.

Larq Flip enters my Larq eco system

I was surprised when I picked up the empty bottle with no lid …it felt lighter than my 500ml filter bottle and showed to be true on the scale. At first I was suspicious that it was not double walled being 50 gr lighter. I also noted a plastic mould line in the cap not present on the cap of the filter bottle which lessens the otherwise premium feel of the product. So is this production variance or cost cutting?? Anyway this doesn’t really affect the performance and now I can use the flip filled from my Larq Pitcher for short trips. The shipment packaging also fell short. The bottle was rolling around the oversized shipment box with only a thin sleeve to protect it. Either in box wadding had been accidentally forgotten or this is another cost saving. I am dead against ... MoreI was surprised when I picked up the empty bottle with no lid …it felt lighter than my 500ml filter bottle and showed to be true on the scale.

I am dead against excess packaging but this left the product under shipment vulnerable to knocks and crushing.Luckily there were no dents or scratches resulting. The black coating is one of the most durable I have come across on any product I own so please LARQ do not compromise on quality in future.

Looks great, keeps water cold

I've been using this daily since getting this in early December. It's on the pricier side for what it is but it's a tank and keeps my water cold for a long time. This doesn't purify like the other models of LARQ but for being a flip top water bottle with a thinner profile, it's perfect for what I need. Only negative part is that the flip top portion doesn't 'click' into place so sometimes gets a little bit loose and can leak a little bit of water. I wouldn't throw this carelessly into a bag as a result, would try to keep it more upright.

Love my water bottle

Purchased for a trip abroad and wanted a bottle with a clip to attached to my backpack. I already have the larger filter pitcher for home use, and have been very happy with it, so this was a natural option. Works great and I use it all the time even though I have many other water bottles. Features I like include the durability, easy built flip up to drink, and overall quality. Doesn't leak and the right size for me. Very happy with this purchase. Will also purchase the filter at some point.

Useful device which needs some adaptations

I enjoyed the possibility of switching the caps to be able to have UV treatment as well as filtration with the other cap and filter.Unfortunately I find it difficult to drink from the bottle. I don't get enough water at each gulp and still feel thirsty right after drinking. It seems water is not coming so you have to suckle but sometimes water drips from the bottle as well. Not easy at all

Wouldn’t buy again.

Unfortunately, this bottle holds so little water given the size of the filter (I got the biggest option). Yet every time you refill, water gets everywhere as (1) the filter leaks out when you open it and (2) it’s hard to gauge how much to fill the bottle, so when you put the filter back, water usually overflows (this design would really benefit from having a mark on the inside and/or outside of where to fill to). Additionally, the straw is hard to drink out of and the non-adjustable placement of the backpack hook gets in the way. Finally, this bottle does not keep water as cold as I would expect, or have experienced with other insulated brands.
