LifeStraw GO Series Water Bottle, 1-L, Black

A little expensive but a good

I am not as pleased with it as I would like to be. Flying is disastrous!! And funny! I opened the cap and water began spewing all over!!! It has happened other times as well. Any ideas to help with this! I bought it because I am going on a mission trip where the water may not be very safe, hoping this would work for me.

WHY is it so hard to draw? (Especially when the water level is low. ) I bought 2, one as a gift, and we BOTH find it difficult to draw through the built-in straw. It just takes so much effort. My lady friend is about to give up on hers, and I'm getting there. I cannot address it's filtering efficacy--the water tastes fine--but the difficulty on getting it out of the container makes this a poor product.

Works very well for me but does not fit in to my car cup holder.

My family of five (2 adults, 3 kids) recently took an amazing trip to Costa Rica. We were in Costa Rica for 8 days. We each had our own water bottle with three of us using the 1 liter version and the other two using the 22 oz version. The 1 liter was much more helpful because of the increased capacity in Costa Rica's hot and humid environment where you need to be drinking a lot of water. When drinking water, we drank exclusively from these water bottles. None of us got sick and the water tasted great the entire trip, from airports to the beaches to the tropics. We even brought these to the restaurants and filled them up from the water that was provided to us at the restaurant. I consider this a tool, not just a water bottle, and I think it is essential to a great trip. We will be using them on all future trips. Costa Rica is a pretty safe country for water and food but plenty of people still get sick. We didn't get sick and I'm sure it was thanks in large part to these water bottles. The filters worked exceptionally well all trip and the carbon filters seemed to last the the entire trip as well. I purchased the water bottles directly from LifeStraw and they arrived quickly. We also used the 8L gravity filter bag on our trip to provide us enough water. It worked excellent as well! I wrote a review for that product as well. Highly recommend these water bottles!
