Just got it yesterday and it seemed to work nicely. I called their customer service about the temperature tolerance of these bottles, and they said it would withstand hot boiling water, which makes this bottle even more useful for me!

I am very disappointed with this item. The description clearly states that it comes with sports Push-Pull top. It did NOT. What good is a water bottle without any top. This item was sold by Amazon, so there is no seller feedback. I guess I will just throw it away.

I like this bottle because it is one of the few re-usable bottles you can freeze. I put it in my lunch box so I have cold water at work without buying a new bottle of water. However, it is hard to drink out of since the bag is floppy, so I keep a cup by my desk.

The .5L is the perfect size for plane trips. I keep it empty in my carry-on until I pass security then fill it up at the water fountain. No more paying for bottled water at the airport and environmentally friendly too. When empty, the bottle takes up no room - you can't say that for any other water bottle on the market!

I used to own CamelBak's hydration system before the bad news about BPA came out. Owing to a lack of information from CamelBack as to whether they had BPA in their products or not, I sent all of it to the recycler and did without for over a year.
Recently (within the last 3 weeks) I bought the Platypus - platy, for short and yes, the lower case 'p' is correct - 1 Liter sport bottle. It came well-reviewed on the Web, so I bit the bullet and purchased one initial item as a way of deciding for myself.
Each item is minimally packaged with their "Fresh Taste Guarantee" prominently displayed, so I tested that right off, filling my new platy right to the top until it looked like a fat plastic sausage and then sticking it overnight in the fridge.
I pulled my thoroughly chilled platy out of the fridge first thing the next morning, promptly slamming it as hard as possible against the kitchen floor. I'm well over 6 foot, so it hit pretty damn hard. I wasn't surprised when nothing happened. Beginner's luck, right? Nine minutes and 70 splats later nothing had changed - platy 70, me 0. Nothing! Nada, zip, zero! It wasn't even scratched despite hitting the linoleum repeatedly. It wasn't even HINTING at being scratched.
Just for a little variety, I poured a glass from it - not even the suggestion of that plastic odor/taste that I had with my CamelBak stuff (no matter how much it was cleaned). The Clean Taste guarantee was true. I've filled it and drained it dry many times of the past weeks and my water tastes like...water.
I further abused my platy with a string of drop-kicks across the living room, thinking the half-empty platy would succumb to the water sloshing around in it (well, that and gravity). platy 11, me zilch. I was sold.
These bottles are absolutely first-class! Aside from them being tough as hell, each item is made with perfection in mind. The caps seat, thread and seal perfectly and easily, the seams of each piece are joined without even the smallest visible defect. I've had one bouncing around in my car trunk with my tools for two weeks now, and the cap is a bit worn. You can draw your own conclusions.
