I bought six of these for a family rafting trip in the Grand Canyon. The non-plastic, food-grade stainless is great, just what I wanted. The cap is composed of two parts - a stainless plug containing the screw threads is attached to a plastic top which has the loop for attaching to your gear. We clipped the bottles to the raft, low in the boat, and I think they probably knocked around less than they would if hanging from a backpack loop. Half way through the trip, the plastic top had separated from the screw-in metal plug on three of the bottles, rendering them useless without a pair of pliers to unscrew the plug. Thank goodness we had our Camelbacks as backup!

I bought these for a family rafting trip and was very pleased with their performance. They also held up very well through short side hikes and were relatively comfortable and quick drying. Yes, they do collect gravel in the footbed when hiking through stream beds, but that is the only drawback that I can see. I am still using mine and would buy them again.
