>>947211Someone gave me a Bota bag for Christmas. I don't drink much, much less in public, so I didn't have much use for mine. It's light weight I guess. But it doesn't hold much water, and when it's full it's kind of weird to carry. It will also sweat/leak by the top. The mouth piece is sort of cork screwed so you shouldn't put your mouth directly on it. It also needs to be washed regularly or it will collect gunk. The water doesn't taste weird until you get to the last couple mouth fulls, then it tastes like plastic because of the liner.
I did find a niche use for mine. I work with animals, so when I go outside I put the pouch under a sweater or coat, sometimes along my back, so the dog doesn't try to play with it like they do with water bottles and thermoses. Out of sight out of mind. Then if I get thirsty I unzip quick and spin it around to drink.
