MontiiCo Mini Drink Bottle (350ml) - Bright Blue

I bought this bottle after buying the larger model, because I wanted a smaller version to take in my bag. The bottle came in good time and is efficient at keeping liquids cold, although I haven't tried it with hot liquids yet. I've stuck to water as I'm not sure how easy it will be to keep clean, you defo need a bottle brush to clean inside.The downside is the sports cap doesn't really work properly, as the flow is difficult to maintain, it really needs a straw inside to assist with drawing up the liquid and a different arrangement for the top as the pull up cap doesn't work properly, so the sports cap is really not the best design. Because I have the other larger model with a metal/wooden top I use that instead.I like that it is a metal bottle rather than plastic (no nasty chemicals leaking into your drinks) and that the drinks keep lovely and cold (with addition of ice), and my family all wanted one when they saw it. However, I did think it was rather overpriced, so looked for similar bottles at a better cost, as I was now buying one for everyone in the family. The alternative (SuperSparrow brand) that I ended up buying for everyone was a much better design, came with 2 caps (both of which worked properly), 2 straws, a bottle brush for the straws and an insulated cover with shoulder strap, plus they were considerably cheaper. So whilst the Monti bottles are ok, I would recommend the alternative cheaper brand over these, they are far better quality and value, and there is also a much better choice in sizes and colours, so everyone had a different colour and size according to their own personal choice.
