I love this bottle and this brand. I had the 1/2 gallon bottle for a long time but it cracked while I was traveling abroad (got dropped and I was rough with it) so I upgraded to the 1 gallon bottle and I’m glad I did. I love that the pockets are bigger with the 1 gallon so I can fit my phone in the pocket. I also love that the strap has a shoulder cushion. I use the strap a lot
