Ion8 Water Bottle, 500 ml/18 oz, Leak Proof, Easy to Open, Secure Lock, Dishwasher Safe, BPA Free, Hygienic Flip Cover, Carry Handle, Fits Cup Holders, Easy Clean, Carbon Neutral, Surf Green

Love the deign. No leaks. Easy and comfortable to drink from. Easy to clean. Lock feature works well. Love the choice of colours - the aqua one is really attractive. I have only had the bottle a few weeks and will definitely purchase another for my daughter. I love the straightforward simplicity of this bottle (no sayings/words printed along the side suggesting I need to drink more water!). Just as importantly the after sales service is also fantastic. A 100 per cent winner and my most favourite recent purchase.

We've tried a lot of different water bottles for our kids, and half of them end up leaking out into your bag which is a pain. We've had a few of these, and they've all not leaked (if done up correctly with the flip lid). You're much more likely to need to buy a new one because your child has lost it, than it's started leaking :)

Good water bottles. I now have several different ion8 bottles and have found them very reliable and free from leaking, although you have to make sure that there is no water on the screw cap after filling and that the cap is tight otherwise I have found some wetness. However no leeks from the flip top. I do like the lock for the top and can use the bottle one handed. Definitely worth the money.

This is a great size to take out and about. It has a finger holder to enable you to carry it.

These are good for school because they are supposed to be clear to see that it's full of water. But they will crack if dropped. We're currently at about 4 replacements per school year for each of the boys. But they are the only ones we've found that don't leak otherwise...

The product is leak free and easy to clean. Will recommend. Soft to touch and sleek finish. Definitely elevates the regular water bottle.

It looks great, locks effectively, opens with a simple click and, most importantly, really is fully waterproof. It replaces my old leaky bottle and is a joy to use. This sleek functional water bottle is value for money and a real winner.

Firstly the pros:This bottle is excellent for one-handed use as a sports bottle; the locking mechanism works really well and is satisfying to use, the nozzle makes drinking very easy and water flows smoothly as your drinking it. This might sound silly but as a drinking experience I can't really think of a way to improve it. It's also really easy to clean as you can get to all of the parts easily and all of the soft components that contact the water can dry easily, avoiding the potential for black mould that I've experienced with other bottles.The so-so:The bottle is leak-proof, at least 99% of the time. I've had one occasion where the nozzle gasket got unseated slightly and wouldn't seal, but that was easy enough to remedy. The main issue is that occasionally the lid gasket gets slightly twisted from tightening the lid, which seems to cause spillages when drinking. Again, easily remedied but annoying when it leaks water down your shirt.The cons:I never really found a use for the handle, it's only small enough to fit a couple of fingers through which leads me to believe it's primarily designed to clip on to something, except there's no clip so you'd need a carabiner or something to attach it to anything. Mine had also snapped completely off after about 9 months. The spring lasted longer, just over a year before snapping, but due to the design of the lid you can't replace it which detracts from the ease of use as the lid can no longer flip up on its own. Replacement lids don;t seem to be available any more either so this can only be fixed by buying a whole new bottle.One of the primary reasons to buy a water bottle is to reduce the amount of plastic associated with drinking water on the go, so a bottle that only lasts about a year isn't ideal. All in all a great bottle, but the lid needs work on the durability front.
