Embrava Best Sports Water Bottle - 17oz Small - Eco Friendly & BPA-Free Plastic - For Running, Gym, Yoga, Outdoors and Hiking - Fast Water Flow, Flip Top, Opens With 1-Click - Leak-proof Lid

THE FOLLOWING ARE WHAT A PERFECT WATER BOTTLE SHOULD ENTAIL. I'LL BEGIN WITH WHAT THE EMBRAVA DOESN'T HAVE, THEN FOLLOW WITH WHAT IT DOES HAVE. WITHOUT FURTHER ADO: CONS: - No Insulation - Water will stay cold for about an hour at best after taking it out of refrigeration. - Wiggly Lid - When you open the lid, you can move it side to side. Basically, it wiggles laterally. I wish the hinges were firmly set, but there may be a functional reason for the wiggliness. I don't want to be an ignorant consumer who unwittingly criticizes a feature that may very well have a very good reason for existing, so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. - Small Size - This bottle is too small for me; you should be drinking 2 liters of water everyday, meaning you need to drink 3.7 of these water bottles. Ain't nobody got time to refill this 3 times a day.This is the biggest con for me. PROS: - NEVER LEAKS (10/10) - This is obviously the most important attribute a water bottle needs. They essentially have one job... to hold water lol. My first water bottle, which I had spent hours researching for, was the beautiful Kor One BPA Free 750ml Water Bottle, and I immediately fell in love with it upon receival... until three hours later, when I opened my backpack to find 700 mL of water literally sloshing around at the bottom, creating a nice little swimming pool for my calculator and notes (which took hours upon hours to write). I was enraged, ofc, but the Kor One was so physically beautiful that I couldn't help but give it a second chance... sounds kinda like guys with women lol. Anyways, this happened again 3 more times within a couple months, after which I decided that no boot- er, bottle was worth that much trouble. So I dumped her, and began my hours-long search once more, keeping in mind that function > form, and that's a life lesson right there. However keep in mind that I am a college student who's pretty rough with my backpack and consequently its contents; if your bottle is going to be upright most of the times, the importance of a foolproof latch is probably less relevant to you. Anyways, my point is, the Embrava has not one but TWO locking features (the lid clicks closed, then you latch the lid to the bottle), ensuring that no further errant swimming pools are installed in my backpack. Also, another feature that made me pick the Embrava is the material of the latch itself; most if not all the other bottles with similar latching features have super thin metal latches, which I feel will rust rather quickly as I wash the bottle often, and rust is super ugly. Which conveniently brings us to the next positive: - AESTHETICS (8/10) - Now, while the Embrava is a looker, it lacks the sort of beauty that breaks necks. The Kor One had that sort of beauty, but it was also useless as a bottle; like the girl who looks aesthetically flawless but has utterly no life skills and lives to marry some rich guy. I would much rather have the girl who's kinda cute not perfect, but is balanced, competent, and can handle her own sh-t. The sides of the container portion itself is made of a velvety material that I really love (another criteria for my bottle was that it does not have stainless steel because I hate how it feels when you scratch your nails on it). The final feather as I was teetering on the edge of is-she-hot-I-can't-tell was the label "Fortune Favors the Brave"; I like labeling a lot, but ONLY when what's written is really dope, and that's a pretty dope line. - EASY TO CLEAN (9/10) - Embrava is pretty simple to clean, there're no weird parts like those of Camelbak that acquire mold. You just take it apart and rinse away (not sure if it's dishwasher friendly, but washing by hand takes like 10 seconds anyway). However I've read other reviews where the little rubber piece has fallen out during washing; I've never encountered it, but seems like it's a thing. I took a point off for that, but you can honestly just stick it right back in super easily. Anyways that's my review for this. I've spent hours and hours researching for a water bottle that specifically met my needs; my consensus for this bottle is that while a bit small, it's the best in the game at doing its job: holding water (I say best because even most of the screw-lid-on bottles which seem impregnable have been reported to leak), and it looks dope enough to represent me throughout my day. Thanks for reading!

I hate water bottles. Being a member of Amazon Vine I've been sent dozens and hated them all. I get that they have a purpose, but they're all the same; bulky, hard to open, leak, too big for my small hands. Occasionally they'll put a ball inside them and call them a protein shake bottle, but in the end, they're all the same. Not this one. I researched water bottles for months (yeah, I'm that guy) before I came to the conclusion to purchase this one just to try it. It didn't look like anything fantastic in the photos, it looked the same as all the other ones. Reviews and ratings were on point, and there was a "used" one for four dollars cheaper than the normal price, so why not give it a shot. It arrived and I instantly fell in love with it. The grey color is fantastic. And it's small. So small I can easily grab it with my hands. But it's also long, so it holds a good bit (18 oz, duh) of water. There's a wrist strap that's permanently affixed to the bottle, but rotates freely around the bottle. The lid... Let me tell you about this lid! For the person who always has to have everything lined up... The front of the lid always lines up with the logo on the front of the bottle. I love this. The top clasps down and it has a lock. The one button flip top is fantastical, enabling one handed operation with this water bottle. There's also a secret easter egg inside this water bottle... It has a screen located at the top that fits just into the neck of the bottle. You have to remove it to fill it up, but make sure you put it back. You know how when you go to take a drink from a water bottle full of crushed ice and that ice hits your drinking hole or hits you in the face and it blocks all the water? Yeah. This screen prevents that very thing from happening. I bought a second one. I love it just as much as the first. One for home, one for work. I will buy more. One for the gym, another for the boat, and finally one for my car. Yes, I need that many. Fantastic! Just plain fantastic!!

I'm one of those people that only writes a review if I've had a really awful or really amazing experience with the product, and let me tell you - even though I was very happy with the bottle itself, the customer service is what inspires me to write the review. I've bought three of these bottles now. Because I carry a water bottle with me everywhere, I'm really picky about my "everyday carry," if you will. It has to be: -lightweight -easy to open with one hand (for driving mostly) -absolutely leak proof so I can toss it anywhere -fit in cupholders -durable enough to withstand my clumsiness (being dropped repeatedly) -a wrist strap to minimize drops -easy to clean thoroughly with no spots for mold to hide This bottle checks off all of those boxes for me. It's the only bottle that I've found to meet my requirements. I replaced my first one when I broke it, and that only finally happened after I accidentally dropped it from a balcony 16 feet in the air onto asphalt. But I do have one complaint - eventually the plastic piece that seals the drinking spout starts to turn brown and mildewed to a point where it can't be cleaned off anymore. I've tried everything. But this doesn't happen for at least a year. This time it took a year and a half of 24/7 use. So I emailed customer support to see if I could order replacement parts. They told me that they do not currently sell replacement parts, but instead are sending me a replacement water bottle - the whole water bottle - a year and a half after purchase. That is an amazing commitment to customer happiness if I've ever seen one. I thought about looking around to see if I could find one better, but I think I'm a customer for life now. Honestly, there probably isn't a better water bottle anyway 👌

I got this because it fits into the cup holder on the treadmill at orange theory. Really I wish those cup holders were bigger so I could use the 32oz but whatever. I use the 32oz at home. Love this style bottle mainly because of water flow. You can tilt this up and slam down some water and go back about your business. Love the quick-open top. I do not want to unscrew a water bottle while I am at the gym. I don’t even want to unscrew my water bottle while I am sitting on the couch. I want to push a button, get my gosh darn water, then close the lid and keep doing something awesome (lol). This thing is definitely leak proof (provided you have those little silicon disc things in place) (Also don’t throw the extras out. They will not take up much room in your junk drawer. You will definitely need those when you wife finds one, says hmm what’s this, then throws it in the trash ugh.) The locking feature is a little prone to breaking. I don’t use it much anyway so whatever. The top is not fragile but will also only handle a few more drops than your iPhone. Don’t let this stop you. Benefits vastly outweigh this. The paint/coating will start to come off from regular dishwasher usage over the course of about a year and half slash two years or so. But they warn you so that’s on us, not on them. I find the bottle to be cleaner from washing in the sink with a brush anyway. Great little water bottle. Get it.

I waited a bit before I made my review to test it out in various situations. AT THE OFFICE - The small size makes it very easy to fit into a medium/large bag. However, should you not want to place it inside a bag, you can wrap it around your wrist and get compliments from everyone about how sleek it looks. The bottle so far is not leaking, which makes me feel confident in placing it inside a bag. The one-click function is exactly what I needed as I was getting annoyed with my other water bottle that required me to turn a cap. Additionally, the graphic design on this bottle along with the slogan is quite inspirational. I've actually been hydrating more often due to this efficient and lovely bottle. AT THE GYM - Love the size, wrist strap, and small mouth of the bottle. I was looking for a water bottle that had a small mouth, but no straw, and this is perfect. When I'm on a bike, running on the stairs, or just simply walking from place to place, I don't fear accidentally spilling water all over my face and shirt just to get a sip. The wrist strap also helps me not to drop this bottle during activity. The fast-pouring spout is also a nice detail. This is something I was concerned about since the mouth is small, but it works great. CLEANING THE BOTTLE - Easy to clean; I simply hand wash the bottle by rinsing with water and soap, then hand drying or leaving the bottle open sitting out to air dry. The silicone plug has not dislodged itself in any way, but this bottle is only a week or so old now. I haven't put any other beverage types into the bottle yet (carbonated, soda, juice, coffee, etc.), but so far, I'm pleased.

This bottle is close to being the best, but two thing keep it from getting 5 stars from me. The biggest issue I have with this bottle is that it is advertised as an easy one hand solution. However, the cap hinge design leaves the cap vulnerable to sway and tilting from the center. When closing the cap with one had, your finger naturally pushes the cap away and it takes more control to click it shut. With that, it makes the hinge feel a bit flimsy. The cap and hinge could benefit from a little stronger of a design (a track, or tighter connection). The second issue I have really would not keep it from getting 5 stars if it was my only gripe. The strap that is connected does not really match the bottle well enough. The bottle has multiples shades of gray but the strap is a bright white and black stripe / zigzag design. It would have looked nicer if the strap matched the silver writing on the bottle or the dark gray of the cap. Other than that the bottle is quite nice. It has a soft finish and is comfortable to to hold. Water flow is great. Like i said before, if that cap and hinge were a bit sturdier it would have gotten 5 stars.

I was looking for a bottle to carry in my backpack to class and also to put in the car. Here are the things I've noticed so far: PROS: Compact (18oz is tad bit taller than a plastic water bottle, while still having the same girth); the exterior has a rubbery-ish coating that does not scratch or sweat (THIS IS SUCH AN AMAZING FEATURE, because certain plastics like Tritan scratches easily and hoard dirt in those scratches); the mouthpiece and the rubber seal is made of high quality plastic that did not mold or smell even after being used with morning breath and coffee breath (usually, the mouthpieces will start developing a weird smell and the sealant will start having black spots--if you have a Contigo, you'll know what I mean); the wide neck makes cleaning the inside such a breeze; the design has two air holes in the lid: one is the mouthpiece and the other is to allow water to flow out quicker or induce better air flow (this means that I don't have to break my neck trying to tilt the bottle all the way back just to get a sip). CONS: Can we get rid of the wrist strap, or at least make it removable?? It's a pain in the butt to wash these and wait for them to dry. They also get so dirty (because it's weaved fabric). Please also make a different logo or color. My friends keep asking me if I'm sipping from a Uterine bottle. One last thing is having the lid depend on sturdier springs to pop it open and keep it propped open. TL;DR: Great bottle with well-thought out specs. I would buy it again, but I'm hoping for Embrava to come out with a second and improved model in the future to address all of the small cons in this first design.

I LOVE this water bottle and it's the best water bottle I have to date. I was looking for a water bottle that I can carry with me everywhere I go (in my purse, backpack for hiking, travel etc). and this was perfect! I love this size because it carries enough water to sustain me for my activity or part of the day (and I just refill when I need to), but not so big that if I get close to finishing, I'll regret carrying such a big bottle to take up space in my bag. I love the closure that covers the lip/drinking part so I don't have to worry about dirt or dust, and that it has a lock so when it's in my bag, I don't have to worry about it bumping into something popping open, then spilling all over my bag. I also love the strap. The strap allows me to carry it to my meetings and literally anywhere I go. This is a simple design that has it all! Not to mention, the material and overall texture makes it smooth and easy to carry in the hand. I love it and have bought the bigger size for other people as gifts. The feedback I've received was nothing but positive! I JUST lost mine last night at the gym and I feel like something is missing..... without hesitation, I am back and have another one in my cart ready to go!
