The cap of the bottle had a small beauty flaw (one star for that), but I couldn't bring myself to return/exchange it for a flawless one.
I liked the design of the bottle compared to Nalgene's "barrel" model 1l bottles. That one is narrower and more comfortable to hold. Thanks to the even narrower lower part, it fits e.g. in the compartment of the front door of our car, also in the side pocket of the backpack very easily.
It is also a plus that both the larger and smaller caps have silicone seals. I did a leak test, keep the water on the side. Just boiled water from the kettle also lasted. The bottom of the bottle bulges a little, but this is due to the pressure that develops inside the bottle when the caps are tightly closed. The bottom will be restored.
1l can fit when you fill a few milliliters to the brim.
Weight approx. 182g, a few grams lighter than Nalgene 1l.
Withstands boiling water without changing its shape and the shape is more comfortable than a Nalgene in the pocket and hand of the Rep. On the downside, the cap's seal may not stay in place, so you should test the cap's durability every time. Likewise, the small cap breaks quite easily if the bottle falls in severe frost; unfortunately, spare parts are not readily available.
