Plus points are: it's metal. My reservations begin with the fact that the spout won't seal and drips/leaks if the bottle is inverted, which brings us to point two; you need a special size bottle cage to put this on your bike- a size I've not found yet. It does, however, fit in a standard cage if you invert the bottle. But the water leaks out. So if you want to carry and empty bottle around with you, you'll be making the right purchase. I paid twenty bucks for this. The good news is it will probably last a long time, mostly because I don't use it. The main cause of my being somewhat irked by this is the fact that the valve in the spout hardly let's any water out when you try and drink from it so one has to unscrew the cap to get at the water.
Expensive and disappointing.
Balls, I said, to the environment. And bought a plastic/ vinyl bottle from my local bike shop.
