New Wave Enviro Tinted Stainless Steel Water Bottle (0.6-Liter, Silver)

I like the idea of getting away from the plastic bottles and this is lightweight and in lots of nice colors. The negative to this design is the cap is hard to fasten and can leak if it's not on perfectly. Hopefully they will redesign the caps and then it would be a perfect bottle.

I purchased this bottle in September and loved it at first. I took it everywhere with me. The only problem at first was that I got lazy and didn't screw it on totally so I wouldn't have to unscrew it to take a drink and found myself with leaks in bags, etc. So, now after a couple of months, I have found that screwing it on and off every time I want a drink has worn the threads on the cap. It no longer holds tightly. I won't buy another of this brand. I need something easier to drink from and more reliable.

The plastic caps for these bottles are poorly designed. Probably the manufacture did it on purpose so they can make more money on customers who need to buy extra caps to keep their bottles. The plastic cap threads are not properly made so it would not be thighten or losen smoothly. Then the threads are tripped easily. So you not only have to buy a new cap to keep the bottle, but also swallow the stripped plastic in the water.

I'm very happy with the bottle. Unlike some other reviewers, I find that mine does not leak. The colored coating is pretty tough, but does show wear after awhile - I would be more surprised if it didn't. I did find that the cap was a bit difficult to keep threaded the first dozen times I screwed it back on, but then it got worn in and is fine now, A great plastic-free water bottle!

I don't like the screw on cap too much - takes longer to screw on and off than traditional water bottles, but it serves its purpose.
