  Purist $58 water bottle - i'm curious to hear folks' honest reviews about this - is this worth it? is the taste really diff because of the glass inside? How bad is the dent when you drop it? Pros & cons would be great for folks who have experienced this :)

  I've had mine for \~4 years. Bottle itself is holding up great other than some battlescars. But their lids are absolute garbage. I'm on my 4th one now. The metallic looking ring for carrying the bottle is super weak and not strong enough to actually carry with. It'll eventually ream its way out. On one of my lids the ring came off within 24 hours

  Yes, never had any issues. I didn’t for the longest time because of the website note you mentioned, but now that I am, no problems and extra clean!

  Brands you swear by that have Buy It For Life quality products

  Any good quality road bike say from Trek, Giant, Specialized, but my favourite will last a lifetime. But tons of others brands. Also given the depreciation of these things you dont need a new one, refurb an older one with good quality parts (Shimano etc) at a bike shop. At the end of the day the core of a bike is a frame nearly everything else can be replaced. Decathlon’s Tribans are a good alternative on a budget.
