As far as stainless steel bottles go, this one is pretty good. I especially like that it is a twist cap so there is no spillage, but also that it stays connected to the bottle itself so there is no losing the cap. Mixing the Gatorade pod into the bottle is simple and easy and tastes great. My only concern with this overall product is that it can become costly. The pods are not cheap. In my area, a bot of 4 pods costs $8 (or $2 per pod!). Perhaps the idea of this bottle/pod combo is to cut back on having to carry a full bottle of Gatorade around, but between the added cost of the pods over a pre-made bottle of Gatorade, I think I will stick with either a pre-made bottle of Gatorade or just filling the stainless steel bottle with water and skip purchasing the pods.
