Bought this right before a trip to Patagonia and I have been living in it. Fit is perfect, love the hood shape, and it’s just a dang good sweater all around. Barely can feel it in my pack!

This is a very high-quality water bottle. I'll probably be buying several more in the future! I own several 32 oz nalgenes but wanted something slimmer that would do a better job fitting in my backpack pockets. Most of my backpacks do accommodate a standard nalgene, but what happens is they often do this by allowing the bottle to press into the pack, thus removing internal space. I am happy to say that this bottle's slimmer form factor mitigates that issue and is a lot easier to slip in and out of my side pockets! I've found it also fits in my car's cup holder which was a great discovery.

In addition, I can say that whatever plastic this is made out of, it feels very sturdy, even sturdier than my nalgenes. The cap in particular feels much more solid and just overall better quality than my other water bottles.

Otherwise, my only comment on it is that the printed design (logo+measurements) is subtle as the darkened color of the bottle does not contrast strongly with the dark green design. Certainly not an issue or anything, especially if you like toned down designs.

Finally, someone made a Nalgene-like bottle with the narrower dimensions of a 1 litter Smart Water bottle. This is going to be so much easier to fit in the smaller side water bottle pockets of modern backpacks. I've already posted on Facebook to my hiking friends. I may buy more, just to give away as gifts.

I've included a photo to show the size comparison of the Squaker versus a 1 liter Smart Water bottle and a 32oz. Nalgene.

The squak is a perfect layer for skiing, rock climbing, and hiking. It is lightweight, portable, and it also looks cool. It fits great, and has slightly longer sleeves, always a plus. The only thing I would change about it would be adding a small fabric loop to tuck in the excess cinch cord, but all in all this is a great fleece.

I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect daily water bottle for years. I forget where I first saw these; likely a YouTuber that reviews hiking gear but, as soon as I saw it, I knew I needed to try it.

Received a couples weeks ago and I’ve been taking two to work. One with an LMNT packet in it and one with water. They fit in the cup holders in my Audi (which is a miracle!) and they also fit great in the side pockets of my daily carry bag… I’ve also taken one of these on day hikes and they work great for short stints. They’re a bit heavy for a long section or thru-hike.

Either way. Get one. It’s worth the investment.
