Z Recommends: Born Free’s bottle is heavy-duty and has a clean look, but the logo sticker begins peeling after a few uses. The lid has a complex tangle of parts “under the hood” that allow the button to function, but the result is that they are exposed to the elements when the bottle is in use; for any liquid other than water, this means limited access to parts that can require cleaning. The cap fits snugly but sometimes with a bit of difficulty. The narrow neck means no ice for the kiddos, and it can be a pain to clean. Bottle and lid are interchangeable with the Zak! aluminum bottle, above, but not with Sigg bottles; the failure to make parts interoperable with Born Free’s own bottles is a missed opportunity.
