What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent: the title says 17 oz and Grey, while the structured details list color as Brown and give capacity as 1.1 pounds, a weight unit rather than a volume. Confirm the selected listing's color and capacity before buying. The manufacturer describes a shutoff valve, while the structured feature field names a bite valve, so valve details are not fully clear.

Without written customer feedback, the figures do not identify what buyers liked or disliked. Treat them as a limited satisfaction signal rather than evidence about the valve, packability, or durability.
