Science in Sport(SIS) Cycling Water Bottle Legion of LA Blue 550ML,131160

Bought this along with the SIS REGO Rapid Recovery drink. It works OK but has a few flaws.First off, no mater how much I tighten the top when I'm shaking it furiously (which you have to do to get all the little bits of powder stuck in the corners to mix) a small amount of the liquid leaks out where the lid screws on. I'm only talking a few drops here but you would think something that's designed for the very purpose would seal properly.Secondly is the fact that the powder catches in the bottom edges. I don't think that's a problem unique to this shaker but if I had to ask for something it would be a way to stop that happening!The shaker works well and mixes everything nice and smoothly, the spout is easy to drink from and the pop on lid seals perfectly (better than the screw on section) so nothing comes out of that part while you're mixing.

Bought two for the Mtb. Falls out the holder every bump, not sure if it's the bottle or the holder. The plastic is thin and feels cheap. The logo scratched off after my 1st ride. I'd expect this to be a freebie not something I'd pay for. Disappointed

For the price, could have been made a little firmer, but adequate.

Good product, it does the job. You can shake it with the lid and cap on and it wont leak. The plastic container part of the bottle is quite rigid so it can withstand reasonable bumps and whatnot. SIS are good products and haven't had any faults with their products in the past. Only issue I have yet to overcome is when you put the protein powder in the bottle, and then mix it with water there is always powder residue at the very bottom to the sides. Its like it needs a mixer ball inside it.

The reason it's used by a race team is, I am forced to infer, that it's a thin, cheap, floppy single-use throwaway item.
