It's a titanium bottle that is squeezable and uses no plastic.
My mind is blown.

There was a pretty comprehensive study on plastics and microplastics that came out recently (last couple of months) that showed plastic containers, bottles, cups, plates, etc shed microplastics similar to how we shed skin cells.

Apparently metal bottles don't have this (until the next study where we find out these will kill us as well).

(I'm just sayin'...)

I just got the Bivo bottles, but I'm going to get two of these

The bottle has plastic on the outside only. Also recyclable.
“ To achieve this, we bond the titanium, by means of different layers, to other elastic materials”

Yea, its for the person that values the aesthetics over functionality. I guess a lot of cycling related purchases are made this way. A hundred dollars for a water bottle.....I'll pass.

We have a handful of the stainless coming into the shop and I predict they sell very well. Ti is a special order item IMO

I'll continue to use my Purist bottles that don't taste that bad to me.

$100?
$43 for the bottle. $64 for the bottle, cage, an twisty thing that works with the cage
There are $50 valves. A $43 bottle hardly seems excessive. $64 for a bottle AND a specially designed cage really doesn't
EDIT: Whoops. My bad. I had moved on to the Keego bottles and the prices above. More than that does get difficult to take

Solutions searching for a problem IMO.

I have one of these:

It does not flow as great as that video seems. Unless my hands are weak, or the other bottles are better. It’s more of a small spurt for me, which still works well enough. But people who need water fast, I’d say maybe find another

Hmmm. Is it hard to squeeze? Is it less than you'd get with a regular bottle?
If you want water fast, you want a Bivo, but you don't squeeze that.

I wonder about this. I've never been instructed or allowed to combine metal and plastic when recycling. Maybe I just live in an unenlightened region (plastics 1-5, 7 are recycled, others are not). And then there's recycling, and there's recycling.

I would try these but how do you buy them? No US distribution and they don’t ship to the US.

They show a high flow nozzle option. Curious if this would put it more in line with conventional bottles.

I have one of the Ti camelbak bottles and my only advice is to avoid using them with Ti cages at all costs. They make an atrocious noise going in and out of the cage.
