FAQs

How long does the insulation keep water cold?

The double-walled construction is designed to keep water cold twice as long as a standard bottle. Actual performance can vary based on ambient temperature and initial water temperature, but typically extends cold retention significantly for several hours.

Can I remove the mud cap?

Yes, the mud cap is designed to be removable. You can detach it if you prefer direct nozzle access without the extra protection, though it's recommended for off-road use.

Is the bottle dishwasher safe?

Yes, the bottle is top-rack dishwasher safe. However, handwashing with warm, soapy water and air drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the insulation and seals over time.

What materials is the bottle made from?

The bottle is constructed from Trutaste™ Polypropylene with Hydroguard™ and is 100% free of BPA, BPS, and BPF, ensuring your water tastes pure.

How do I prevent spills when drinking?

The bottle features a high-flow, self-sealing Jet Valve™ that opens with squeeze pressure and automatically seals after each sip, preventing splatters and leaks. Ensure the valve is clean and undamaged for optimal performance.

What is the capacity of this bottle?

This specific model has a capacity of 621ml (21oz).

Can I use this bottle for hot beverages?

This bottle is primarily designed for cold beverages. Using hot liquids may affect insulation performance and could pose a burn risk.

Troubleshooting

Bottle leaks when locked out

Ensure the lockout valve is fully engaged. Check that all seals are clean and properly seated. If the issue persists, inspect the valve mechanism for damage.

Low water flow

Ensure the lockout valve is open. Squeeze the bottle with firm, consistent pressure. Check that the nozzle is clear of any debris. If using the mud cap, ensure it's fully open or removed.

Water tastes off

Clean the bottle thoroughly, ensuring all parts are separated and dried completely. Use a bottle brush for the interior. Consider using a mild cleaning solution like baking soda and water if odors persist.

Bottle doesn't fit cage securely

While engineered for optimized fit, some cages may vary. Ensure the bottle is fully inserted into the cage. If the fit is consistently loose, consider a different cage model or a bottle cage adapter.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Keeps beverages cold for extended periods due to double-wall insulation.
  • Integrated mud cap provides excellent nozzle protection from dirt and debris.
  • High flow rate with a self-sealing valve minimizes spills and allows for rapid hydration.
  • Easy-squeeze design requires less effort for hydration, beneficial during intense riding.
  • Parts are easily separable for thorough and hygienic cleaning.
  • Secure fit in most standard bottle cages reduces rattling and ensures stability.

Cons

  • Insulated design makes the bottle slightly bulkier than standard non-insulated bottles.
  • The mud cap adds an extra step for accessing the nozzle, though it is removable.
  • While designed for durability, prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures can still affect insulation.
  • Requires a compatible bottle cage that accommodates its slightly larger diameter if insulation is maximized.

  3. Dishwasher: The bottle is top-rack dishwasher safe, but handwashing is recommended for longevity of insulation and seals.
