My wife doesn't like the traditional bike bottle spout, and will always stop and unscrew the top in order to drink. This is the perfect solution for her and she loves it!
I don't love that these caps are not standard sized.
After trying and failing with several bottle cages, my friend recommended Fidlock to fit two bottles in my mountain bike's frame. I appreciated printing out the provided templates to check they'd for sure fit so I wouldn't have to do yet another return. They work great. Love that the nipples come off so they can be thoroughly cleaned. They take a bit to get used to (grab them from the top and twist, not from the side) and the while the dust cap is useful it can be annoying, I wish it was removable since the lids don't all end their rotation at the same place.
Needed a clip that could take a bigger diameter tube for the HydraPak HydraFusion Tube and this worked perfectly. Easy to fit clip around tube and I like how the clip slots into the magnetic base when connecting.
This bottle is just the right size to hold a large amount of water but not be too long to fit on my Brompton. What would make this a perfect bottle is a thermal sleeve that the company does not yet make.
I purchased this size out of necessity as the frame to my new bike would only accommodate certain sizes of the Fidlock bottles. I do wish there were other color options as opposed to the Kiddy colors. Nonetheless, it works excellent. Hoping to insulated bottles in the future.
I likely would not have purchased this bottle were it not for a new bike that would not fit the traditional bottle size. After several rides, the system is secure and easier to use as I had to get used to twisting the bottle to release from the frame with my left hand which initially did not feel as natural. I do wish they made insulated bottles, let alone bottles that are white to keep the contents as cold as possible.
Doesn’t come with a connector and the one I currently have doesn’t connect to this bottle for whatever reason. Buy a connector separately apparently. Disappointing
The bag does not hold it's shape well. Starts to flair out and there is nothing to stop it. If it had some straps at the top to keep it slim that would help. Used it a couple times now it's just a $100 paper weight...
Awsome. Fits perfect on my Trek Roscoe 9. No more saddle bag under my seat post.
I needed this bigger bottle for my mountain bike. My brother is usingthe small one. I like this bottle because it doesn’t fall off on bumpy trails.
This bottle is great but is a little small. I needed this little because my rear suspension was in the way of mounting of mounting a larger capactity bottle.
Have it on my all mountain canyon and have put it through jumps, rock gardens and stepdowns. Hasnt come off once and you dont hear the bottle move at all.
Clips in easy in place when you need it and stay even during rough downhill runs.
This thing is awesome.
I have 2 fidlock bottles with the flip cap and both leak all over my bike when they are more than half full. My frame then get covered in dirt attracting stickiness
I had 2 of these,..............
The 1st one cracked when It slipped out of my hand bounced off my foot and dropped about 8 feet onto rock it was full and split at a crease where the clip was molded into it... Awesome..;-(
The 2nd one literally split open when it fell off my hood while getting ready for a ride it was full of water it was a a cold ass morning and the thing cracked open split right under the clip and down to the bottom...
These are WAY over priced for how freekin delicate they are. I've dropped and kicked water bottles at speed from Camelback or Specialized for years with no issues ... These fidlock bottles are stiff and hard to squeeze even on a warm day and if it's cold or they are full and are dropped they can't handle it... they didn't last 8 months and I don't get to ride 2x a week no matter how much I try. Worst new product I've tried last 2-,3 years easily. Spent like $60+! On these for both my bikes & I feel ripped off..
Fidlock needs to figure this system out. The pull tab is fabric and connected to plastic "D ring". The tab doesn't pull out by power of hand after time, and you literally need to use pliers to pull it out. Super frustrating on trail and off. Today the plastic broke off. Need better system.
Hey Jeremy,
Thanks for your feedback. We are sincerely sorry to hear that this was the experience you had with Fidlock products.
If you are interested, we would be more than happy to replace or refund your product. Please reach out to support@fidlock.us!
It's worth noting that the maximum size of this bag is without a case, so just keep that in mind. Other than that, it's solid, easy to use once you get used to it (my phone is the maximum 6.5in so I really have to stuff it in there), magnetic waterproof closure, good stuff!
