Venture Pal64 OZ Water Bottle with Motivational Time Marker & Straw - Leakproof BPA Free Reusable Flip Top Water Bottle for Sports and Fitness Enthusiasts

I can't rave enough about this water bottle. It was a little taller than I expected, but definitely rocks. I have zero cons at this time, but here are my pros:1) The color, I know its not super important, but I love that they offer a variety of colors, a regular clear water bottle is not me.2) The feel/material is awesome- its not a super hard plastic that busts when it hits the floor. Its soft, and pliable, with indents/grips on the side to hold it.3) The handle/lid is perfect, the handle is hard plastic, so you can hold on to it and it doesn't bend, like a Nalgene bottle, and you can fit your whole hand in the handle, not just a couple fingers. There is even two spots to put like a lanyard and you can carry it on your shoulder. The lid for the straw opens with the push of a button, and stays in place with two little nubs that stick out. I could see these wearing down with time, but that wouldn't be an issue unless you were tipping the bottle up, which you don't have to do because of the last thing I want to talk about, the straw!4) Y'all this straw is the bomb! So it was made like a regular plastic straw, but a small white triangular shaped end was placed on one side, that pops out of the bottle when you open the drinking lid, and on the other end is a super soft plastic piece that bends and does not break at the bottom so that the straw pops up when you open the drinking lid and you get ALL of the water from the bottom without any issues!!I LOVE THIS THING!Last, but not least 6) the markings on the bottles really help keep up with your water intake, on one side is the times, and motivational sayings, and on the other is the amount of water in OZ and ML.I highly recommend this water bottle for anyone that needs to drink more water!

I love the idea of this water bottle, but 2 things that frustrate me. First, trying to get the last of the water out using the straw is not as easy as it should be. I bring my water everywhere I go because I’m always “parched”. I teach all day so I’m constantly talking and sipping throughout the day. On my 40 minute commute home is when I drink most of my water (with the help of my 2 kids), which brings me to issue #2. The flip cap covering the straw does not fully extend back, so when drinking from the straw, you need to angle the straw and flip cap so you can drink. Since I can’t get the last inch of water out of the bottle with the straw, I have to take the straw out (not what I want to do while driving). The flip cap covering the straw is really in the way now, frustrating!

I already drink a ton of water. I wanted a large water bottle, with a straw, so I wouldn’t have to refill my bottle multiple times a day. I opted for the half gallon as I work from home (not Covid related) & have limited space in my desk.As one would assume for a water bottle that can hold half a gallon of water, the bottle is fairly large. I’d best compare it to the size of a half gallon of milk jug. If you’re like me & like cold water, the mouth is large enough to fill with ice. However, the bottle does sweat. If bottle sweat is an issue for you I’d suggest in investing in some form a thermal sleeve or coaster. I just keep a stack of napkins under the bottle and have no issues.I have not yet washed the bottle in my dishwasher. So I can’t say if it’s truly dishwasher safe. My only suggestion to the manufacturer would be to try & make the straw longer & prevent bottle sweat. I gave no true complaints about this item.

I am not sure what to expect when I got this bottle. When it arrived it was nicely packaged, it was bigger than I expected and I asked myself how am I going get through this much water a day and come to find out I can go through two of these bottles a day - it has improved my in take of water and its a beautiful color of a bottle. I have the teal to pink version. I place water in it with lemon to give a little flavor - but I can say I use this bottle a lot since I Have received it.Note: Easy to clean, the straw is super long touches the bottle bottom so you are not digging to get the last of the water, the top removes so you can clean in pieces easy to put back together. and the handle to carry around makes for easy travel

I love this bottle. Already drinking more water!! Easy to clean and use. Dishwasher safe so far, only washed it once to start drinking from it. My only complaint is that the flip top thing has already started getting stuck. When I click to flip the top, I have to manually pull it up. Inconvenient but not a deal breaker.Edit: I’ve washed this a handful of times now in the dishwasher and my husbands bottle (same one, different color) is fine, but my little rubber ring thing in the top, pictured, is starting to come off which is making it leak when in a certain position. Is there a way to get a new one of these?
