MSR Alpine Stainless Steel Water Bottle, 1 L

Comments about MSR Alpine Stainless Steel Water Bottle, 1 L:

I bought this bottle specifically because it mates perfectly to the MSR Water Works and Mini-Works water filters. Just screw the bottle onto the filter, and pump away.

As noted by other reviewers, I found that I was using the bottle less and less because of the leaks. I too thought that it was the lid - IT'S NOT THE LID THAT LEAKS. It's the seal where the plastic thread ring is mated to the bottle.

I fixed it by taking a little clear silicone sealant on the tip of a finger and wiping it around the inside of the bottle where the mating seam can be felt. Let the silicone cure with the cap off, and Voila' bottle fixed.

I bought two of these, and did the same mod to each one. Now these are my favorite outback bottles.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Yes, I would recommend these bottles to a friend - with the quick seal modification above.

5 stars without the leaks that I had to fix myself, 3 stars because MSR didn't get it right the first time.

I purchased 2 of these bottles from MSR and I'm not going to lie, I am disappointed with them. the capacity is great and they are quite durable, but the leak all the time!!!! I can't take a sip without water leaking all over my shirt. If they fixed this issue the bottle would be perfect!

The size is useful and good.
The lid and all that goes with it are poor in design, quality and function. It just doesn't work. The ''O'' - ring leaks, the spout is ill-fitting and it leaks.
It is high priced , dysfunctional and frustrating to own and try to make work.
My prior EMS stainless water bottles with the wide mouths were excellent however. I only bought this one because the old , excellent ones are no longer carried. EMS should bring the old ones back and replace these poor quality ones.
