Perfect for our emergency evacuation bag By FL-Jan from Southwest Florida on 05/14/2009 Pros: BPA Free, Good Capacity, Impact Resistant, Lightweight Best Uses: Camping, Emergency Evacuation Bag, Hiking, River Trips Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: We now have 2 of these water purification bottles in our emergency evacuation bag. Although we are prepared to carry bottled water in the event of a hurricane/wildfire emergency evacuation, these bottles give us extra peace of mind to assure we can always have enough water. Our evacuation bag has to contain enough for 2 adult people & 3 large dogs. Two of these are perfect! Thankfully we've not needed to use them to date.

There was no bad taste. It's lightweight. Two of us used these bottles on that trip and we were happy we made the purchase. Can't beat the price!

By fiji from Laramie Wy on 04/13/2009 Pros: BPA Free, Extremely Low Price, Good Capacity, Slim Design, Unique Design Best Uses: Camping, Hiking, River Trips Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought two of these for my fiance and I to use backpacking. I was worried about all of the negative comments, but we both love them and they don't seem to leak and it's not hard to get water out. It will be perfect for what we want. And with paying for the wedding, our honeymoon, school, insurance and all the other jazz that goes along with being married, it is a great price. We are too cheap to buy most things, and we don't want poo (cant use the c word). This water-bottle is the perfect solution. Not poo and not expensive. We are excited to use them this summer!
By IHS from MAINE on 03/28/2009 Pros: BPA Free, CHEAP purification Best Uses: Camping, Hiking, Survival Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Cool design, nice size, bottle is light and easy to slip in a pack or webbing pouch. Filter works great, a little hard to get flowing. I could not pass water thru mine at all until i worked a toothpick into the sip nozzle, then it flows pretty good without much leaking. BOTTOM LINE: you can hardly buy a water bottle this cheap at all, not to mention one that could come in real handy when water sources are few and far between. DEF worth having, carry water in it, and if you need it, glad you paid the small price.
My 3rd Bota filter bottle By Gary C. from Lancaster, CA on 03/18/2009 Pros: Good Capacity, Impact Resistant, Slim Design Best Uses: Camping, Cycling, Hiking, River fishing, River Trips Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is a great bottle for carrying on the river while fishing. No more hot water from a carried water supply. I just dip in the stream and have have cool fresh water to drink.
By Doug Williams from Raleigh, nc on 03/15/2009 Pros: BPA Free, Unique Design Best Uses: Camping, Hiking, River Trips Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Only used this once, but no initial problems. Don't have to squeeze that hard to get water, but you pretty much need two hands. I imagine that the filter could get clogged quickly if you used murky water, so remember the coffee filters. really neat design, and for price/size/weight, a great way to get clean water in the backcountry. Now I just hope that it cleans out the baddies as advertised
By Pokey the Tree Hugger from Missouri on 03/09/2009 Pros: Good Capacity, Impact Resistant Best Uses: Camping, Cycling, Everyday, Gym, Hiking, River Trips Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I use the Bota bottle for traveling and at work plus give them to my friends as a gift. It is reassuring to know that we are drinking pure water in such a polluted world. It is somewhat difficult to get the water through the filter and one has to work at it although it is worth the effort.
By knitey from Washington DC Metro on 03/08/2009 Pros: BPA Free, Slim Design Cons: Hard to get water to flow Best Uses: Camping, Cycling, Everyday, Gym, River Trips Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I still haven't mastered getting the water to flow easily, but there is a definite trick to it. For the price I'll keep it.
