The spout is genius!
I really like this water bottle. I wanted something that is portable and doesn't leak. Most of the color combinations seem a little weird to me, but I liked this color (Yosemite) and decided to make the investment. I haven't taken it too many places yet, but I love the spout design. That's basically what sold it to me. The option to sip from the straw or pour into my mouth is great. I hope it holds up, because it seems a bit expensive to have to replace.
