Embrava Best Sports Water Bottle - 17oz Small - Eco Friendly & BPA-Free Plastic - For Running, Gym, Yoga, Outdoors and Hiking - Fast Water Flow, Flip Top, Opens With 1-Click - Leak-proof Lid

I got this with the combo deal with the 32 ounce bottle. Both feel nice and durable, the cap feels nice and the little rubber stoppers come out easy enough to clean and both came with replacements so thats awesome. They have an attached cloth loop thing which is good for attaching to a backpack or something with one of those rock climber hoop things. I'm bad at remembering the names for things. Its a good bottle especially for the price this one is just a little small.Note the grey version has nice legible white text on the bottle whereas the blue bottle does not and its hard to read. Not a big deal but figured I'd mention.

All the great things written here are true. And I love really cold water, so I usually stuff my water bottles with ice. The Embrava comes with an easy-to-remove "filter" just below the lid and it keeps small pieces of ice from suddenly coming out the spout. A cleaver addition and a further example of how carefully thought through the design of this item is. And they don't even mention it in their product description! (I do wish, though, that they had an intermediate size between the 18 oz and the 32 oz, like 24 oz, for example).

Having used this bottle for about a week, it has been a pleasure to use. The see-through design is a big plus when filling it from our refrigerator cold water tap. The bottle is too long to fit easily under our fridge's ice&water area, but we have an older fridge and more modern designs have a taller area for things like this bottle.I've seen the comments about dropping the bottle (breaks) and concerns over the plastic hinged top. I can drop something as easily as the next person and hope I don't do it. If I were really that concerned about it, I'd fit a neoprene sleeve on the bottom half to provide some protection. Regarding the plastic hinge, yes it does wiggle a little bit, but I think that could be part of the design to allow it to nestle on the seal when its closed. I don't see anything in the lid to be concerned about and like the design a lot.This thing is so easy to use and for a kidney-stone producer, it has helped me do a better job of drinking the required 100+ ounces of water each day. It is funny, but I actually drink more water using this product because of how easy it is to use. I actually look forward to using this bottle versus being a chore to drink all that water each day from a glass. I only drink water with no ice, so insulation wasn't something that I needed. I do like that little plastic screen on top to prevent ice from blocking the drinking spout (that was a cool design feature that I've not seen in other water bottles). I also like the soft "feel" of the exterior. At the ~ $20 current price, it was a no-brainer for me to choose this product and I'm very happy with it so far.

I love this water bottle. I love the size and shape. Its small and it fits in my cup holder in my car. I have small hands and it just fits me. I love that I have to get up to refill it more often and I love that it has a large mouth to put ice into. But I also Hate this water bottle. It leaks! And not from the air valve on top..unless you turn it the wrong way when drinking. But is leaks from the rim. I have both the 18oz and the 32 oz and they both leak. Its frustrating and I wish they didn't leak. They don't leak at all when the lid is closed but when you take a drink it leaks out of the rim. I also hate the little plastic screen that it has. I suppose it is to keep the ice from plugging up the wide spout but its a pain. So its a great water bottle if you don't mind getting a bit of water on you.

I did a lot of research before choosing my embrava sports water bottle. I wanted a water bottle that had the fast flow feature because I have had experience with water bottle straws molding. The top of this water bottle looks very easy to clean. I am 14 yrs old and did not want glass or aluminum but I did not want my water bottle to taste funny. The only thing that I would say, and it is so minor it hardly matters, is if you drink too slow and tip your water bottle too far the liquid will run out the air hole. But if you drink normally it is all good. Embrava customer service is very good. When I first received my water bottles I had ordered two: one in grey and one in blue. The blue one had a filter in the top and the grey one did not, so I contacted embrava and they promptly returned my email and got my question all sorted out. The only smell that I encountered was when I shoved my nose on the rubber rim where you grip and only got a tiny smell but it went away after washing. All-in-all I love my water bottles and would recommend them to anyone.

I rarely gave review for bottles but this is one of the best. I bought 2 bottles as part of the promotion and I love them. The water flows smoothly and the lock feature is awesome. Yes, spill-proof ! I thing I do not like about it is the filter and the rim around the lid. It is hard to clean if I use ZipFrizz drink. The stain will get all over the filter and the lid and it is so hard to clean them. I don't know what is the filter there for. Is it for the water to flow smoothly? I am not sure so I just leave it attach to the bottle , and because I am afraid to lose it if I take it out. Overall, very good bottles.

This is the 2nd Embrava water bottle I've bought, after my first one got worn out. I used this water bottle on a daily basis for 1 and a half years. There are many great things about this water bottle - its slimline profile, clear color so I can see how much water is left, convenient carrying strap, mouthpiece is protected by the lid, and the beautiful blue color.However, the water bottle does not hold up to some of its claimed features. It is NOT leak proof! It leaked in my bag on the plane. It often leaks through the rim when I drink water, so it spills onto my shirt. It leaks when the water bottle accidentally topples over on my desk.I love this water bottle but I would not buy it until the leaking problem is solved. Maybe it's ok for home use where one can easily clean up a leak, but it is inconvenient when you're on the go and leaking on your work clothes, bag, and desk.
