The What I've Got Review: FYXO water bottle

Branching off from the success of the first What I've Got Review it's time to delve once more into the critical world of Cycling paraphernalia.
Welcome back to….

The What I've Got Review

For those oblivious to what this is, it's basically me reviewing 'what I've got', cause no one else is particularly desperate for me to have a look at what they've got.

Today, it's my FYXO water bottle.
Should be pretty simple. Considering it's a water bottle. Just a good ol' water bottle for holding water.

SIGNIFICANT FEATURES:

Well um...it's got a -…um…I mean, it's a water bottle. So that's pretty significant. Fits well in the bottle cage on my bike, which is good.



If I can cycle is now on Facebook, check it out!

AESTHETICS:

The silky contours that round off beautifully from top to bottom provide a unique bottle of exquisite quality. A gently ribbed band just below the tender neckline offers excellent grip for the user and gently massages fingertips during use depending on your glove of choice. A warm and stylishly designed logo wraps around the body of the bottle protecting, and proudly displaying, a fixation with the FYXO brand. Doubling the impact of bold branding is the translucent plastic design, which also offers a practical use to the cyclist in monitoring their levels of refreshing, hydrating h2o. I can personally vouch for the bottle's ability to take direction in a photo shoot and engage seamlessly with a range of different effects, flaunting a prowess that would befit Cycling's Next Top Model were such a competition to exist.

QUALITY:

Good. Yeah, works well. Cap opens comfortably in your teeth when on a ride. Squirts water out with an even pressure but not over the top. Easy to unscrew when you wanna fill it back up, even for real cyclists who have no upper body muscle. Alternatively, if you are having trouble getting it open you could probably just clamp it between your trunks and do it that way, might leave a bit of a taste though, which can't be good…or just maybe it can…?

SUMMARY:

In summary I'm gonna go ahead and say that it probably wasn't the best choice. For the review I mean. There's only so much you can say about a water bottle and while I tried to jazz it up verbally in the middle there I got left stretching unsuccessfully for the excitement. Kinda like a group of friends turning to strip poker when the party's dying. That's not to suggest I've played strip poker with my water bottle by the way, it refused to deal the cards arguing a lack of opposable thumbs made it difficult, so I gave up.

Thanks for reading!
