Further thread drift, but regarding dirt caps, I like the ones on the 
Camelback bottles (dirt cap series)

Re: [RBW] riv water bottles

2021-03-12 Thread Garth 
May be that Riv doesn't sell the Specialized Purist bottles anymore because 
they are not what they originally were. I have an original, smoke colored 
one with the squiggly mountain landscape lines that was perfect. No plastic 
taste and the cap really was MO-FLOW ! I bought 3 last year and the first 
thing I noticed was the caps didn't open as much as my good one. Mo-flow as 
now No-Mo-Flow. I had to really squeeze to get a drink. Then the taste 
plastic. I use my original every day and have for years and it''s 
wonderful.

Re: [RBW] riv water bottles

2021-03-12 Thread Christopher Cote 
Keith,

At the risk of further thread drift, I have to say that I have one of those 
Nalgene bottles, and they are not very good. The dirt cap doesn't really 
seal, and dry dust can find its way in. Also, the nozzle isn't as nice as 
the ubiquitous Specialized made ones. I bought some more dust-capped 
bottles from a company called Dawn to Dusk, and while better than the 
Nalgene, they still are pretty bad. I can't believe, especially with the 
rise in popularity of unpaved road riding, that there aren't better 
solutions available.

Chris

I think it mght be because they’re trying to reduce the amount of plastic they
