Mountain Warehouse Water Bottle - 1L Litre Matt Aluminium Drinking Drinks Flask + Carabiner Light

An unusually low score for me:Firstly, the good points.This is an excellent 1L bottle. The lid screws on securely and once you remove the lid you can drink straight from the bottle. The outside has a nice matte finish.Now the bad:The inside of the bottle (be it aluminium or whatever) started to peel off. I don't know when it started, but I only noticed it when I went to take a drink several weeks after owning the product and happened to glance in. MY biggest concern was that bits were floating in the water I was drinking. I had to pour two litres of water away, and as I was hiking and this was my only water source I wasn't happy.I am not giving it a 1 star review because of the customer service of Mountain Warehouse. I was able to take it back to the shop and they gave me a refund straight away after I'd showed them the fault. They did offer a replacement, but didn't exactly go "above and beyond" to help (We don't refund delivery, no apology, in fact hardly any conversation at all). I did try and return via amazon but Mountain Warehouse seem to want me to pay for the postage for the return (even for an obviously faulty product) and then if they find it faulty, they'll refund me. This seemed like a lot of hassle and it not the same as other companies I've dealt with.It is possible that I had a bad batch, but the chances of me having two bottles from the same bad batch as other reviewers who have had the same problem is unlikely I feel.In short, don't buy this product. Spend a few more pennies and get a BPA-free plastic bottle, it's worth it!

No issue with leaking seals or tainted water. In some senses they feel sturdy enough but being thin aluminium you can still split them, so just don't drop it on a rocky mountain side when full, but that would take quite a knock on a sharp edge of a rock to happen. This happened to an identical bottle with a different branding.I can't fully comment on durability in terms of lifespan as I've used it a handful of times so far, but so far so good.

Pros:- Cheaply priced.- Attractive colour.- Large 1 litre capacity.- Does not appear to leak at the lid like some bottle flasks.Cons:- Advertised as a new item, but arrived dirty and dented (see attached photos).- Tags suggest that the item is part of a promotional BOGOF offer, but this offer was not available when ordering.- Carbiner clip and (bent) key ring appear flimsy and may not last long.Conclusion:For the price, this doesn't seem like a bad bottle flask - I only wish it had arrived in the condition advertised, and I'm sure this is simply down to poor storage by Mountain Warehouse... Disappointing for a national retailer.As I'm only using this to store milk for tea/cereal at work during the day, I will keep it, but if you're after a container that will survive more rigourous use/environments (e.g. camping trips or long hikes), it may be worth spending a bit more for something more durable with better attachments.

It's a very nice looking water bottle. However mine (orange) came with the ridged ring loose. You can movi-it around with your finger. Thus water is leaking like a small fountain. Bear in mind to brush and clean as often as you can your water bottle as it builds mould quicker than in a Lab. You don't want that. When I say more often...that means at least every two day of using it. Good build, not the best. Looks very nice. Paint is good enough to bear daily using, but not indestructible.

Really good bottle at a fantastic price. The other reviews are right that the thread is quite small on the lid but as long as you don’t cross thread it then it’s fine. Full metal body and delivery was quick, keeps drinks cool for longer too. Really pleased with it.If you appreciated this review then please click the helpful button, it allows us to keep reviewing products like this for you.

Keeps water cold (I only use it for cold water) and does not leave an aftertaste. After a few months, however, it has begun to leak ever so slightly if I do not make a particular effort to close it as tightly as absolutely possible. In that way, it is worse than the (missing) Eurohike flask I bought to replace it - I would recommend a Eurohike flask from Blacks, as it was lockdown I was not able to purchase a replacement.

The bottle itself is fine, but the ring attaching the carabiner to the lid is not fit for purpose. It stretched and allowed bottle to become detached on first usage.

Bottle itself is ok but the screw thread is too small and the plastic screw cap is pretty poor. It’s not suitable to hook to a bag as metal ring passes through the thinnest piece of plastic possible. Screw thread is so small that within a short time the bottle will not screw tight.
