Ion8 - Small Water Bottle, Leak Proof, Easy to Open, Secure Lock, Dishwasher Safe, BPA Free, Carry Handle, Hygienic Flip Cover, Easy Clean, Odor Free, Carbon Neutral

Ease of carrying: Has a little loop for carrying while you walk. Bottle size: Small, which is what I wanted. Fits in small purse/backpack. Bottle quality: Well designed. Easy to open and drink from. (I had a small bottle that I loved for the size, but I tended to choke on the water because it had to be tipped upside down to drink from.) Easy to clean. Keeps water cool-ish in a hot car - but a note of caution here, as I only left it in the car once.. Excellent product altogether.

I don't know how many times I have dropped this thing on the sidewalk or street while walking or jogging. It doesn't even show scratches. Plus after a year of constant use (I even have it by my bedside at night), not one drop has leak out. I had to buy a 2nd one, just because I left the first one somewhere.

I'll add to this if I see any issues but my initial reaction is that I like it! Seemingly very high quality, the plastic has a nice dull powdery rich look to it, the pop up lid snaps shut with a little loop you can flip for extra security, and it feels European(if there is such a thing) and it does appear to be a UK company(made in china but maybe designed in the UK?). Note: the black one isn't clear enough to see the liquid and markings on the side(I took a star off for this). I needed a small 10-12oz. container for a natural medicine as recommended by The Medical Rebel that is to be drank in small amounts throughout the day. It was pretty slim pickings for a water bottle this small that needed to be opaque so no biggie that I can't see through it I just thought since it had markings on the side you'd maybe be able to look through it slightly. They should probably mention this in the description. But other than that I would recommend this! Very happy with it so far!

I got the black on black and it look fantastic. I love the little loop portion on the lid, so I can attach it to my laptop bag when going to the office. The bottle is made from some type of material called Recyclon or something, and it feels tremendously more solid than regular plastic. I like the soft touch matte finish, and the leakproof cap with the lid that raises open with a click. It even has a mini latch to lock the raising lid to prevent any leakage or prevent accidental opens. Once the lid is open, it has a little tubular opening to drink out of. The entire lid can be unscrewed to make refills easier, so you do not have to fill from the smaller tubular drinking opening (as shown in product images). It’s a little smaller than I imagined, but that is a plus since it’s easier to carry and easier to attach to a carabiner. Overall, a solid, surprisingly durable and attractive bottle. Black on black looks absolutely amazing. Again, please note the ounces it holds. It’s less than some water bottles, but it is built solid and is easily refillable. If you drink a ton of water like me, and have access to water to refill it’s an amazing bottle. If you are going out for the day and do not have access to refills, you may want to look at a larger water bottle. But for me, this will fit in a cup holder and it’s the perfect size to attach to a bag, without it swinging around haphazardly or being so heavy it makes my bag (it’s clipped to) difficult to manage. It looks and feels great. You are going to love the material it’s made from and the matte soft touch finish. It also has he little vent hole in the lid (with a rubber seal in the cap to stop leaks) to ensure you can chug water without having to sip, like on a ton of “common” water bottles. Just to make sure, I filled the bottle with water and shook it around like crazy, and not a drop leaked, so the claims of no leaks is accurate. I am happy I choose this product. It feels good, it feels solid, and it looks amazing.

Perfect size for traveling. It doesn't sweat and the drink spout is the perfect size. I have trouble opening it one handed (the stopper tends to stick, requiring one hand to press the button and the other hand to open the top), but the good outweighs the bad.

I bought this water bottle in a search for one that would fit in small cupholders and it did. The quality seemed really nice and I really liked the design, but one day I dropped it and it completely shattered. I ordered another one determined not to break it but it banged against a wall one day as I was walking and it got an irreparable crack. It really seamed like it would be sturdy, the plastic is hard, but it’s not durable. ;(

Ordered another water bottle after mine melted when accidentally placing backpack on top of radiator. Like the thinner size & secure lid. Hiked Switzerland w/ this.

I’ve been using this brand for a while, and this is my third bottle. At first, when they are new, they are indeed water leak proof. But over time, as they wear out, they start leaking, and my handbag got wet a few times. I can understand that since the bottle is in daily use, the mechanism can break. However, my LAST purchase was a big disappointment! I bought a new water bottle to take on a long trip with me that involved 2 planes, a train, and a car ride. I needed a bottle I could trust. I chose this brand again and wasn’t worried about it leaking, since it was brand new. HOW DISAPPOINTED WAS I in the middle of my long international flight to discover my HANDBAG being WET, with my belongings inside also wet!! The bottle was closed and sealed, yet somehow this BRAND NEW BOTTLE leaked half the water inside my purse. I cannot forgive this and will never buy your water bottle again.
