The FLPSDE Dual Chamber Water Bottle. John LaGuardia.

My overall experience with the FLPSDE water bottle was a good one. I put this product to the test on an outdoor photo shoot in the Colorado mountains. It was in use for a few hours, being carried in a backpack, propped against rocks on a mountain trail, and set flat on semi-level surfaces.

The bottle includes two chambers: a removable one for snacks or other small items, and a larger one for hot or cold liquid. I tested stormtrooper white for this review and placed cold water in one chamber and trail mix in the other. The FLPSDE bottle is made of stainless steel, has wide openings for easy loading, and has a smooth, painted surface. It also includes a silicone band around the belly of the outside.

I found the silicone band to be grippy on the outside, but it also moved around a lot during use. Another disadvantage to this bottle is that when setting it down on outdoor surfaces like gravel, rocks, and dirt, it scratched very easily. Both the outer shell and the lids were pretty beat up after a short period of use. At one point during the photo shoot, the bottle tipped over onto a rock from ground level and received a dent on the side.

My recommendation to FLPSDE: On the next iteration of this bottle, incorporate a powder-coated finish for better scratch resistance and overall durability. Get rid of the silicone band and use a combination of the powder-coated surface and the bump-out in the middle as the bottle's gripping surface. Then etch your logo into the powder coating to make it pop.

Overall, I found this bottle concept unique as well as functional. The convenience of having an all-in-one solution out on the trail was nice, and it was somehow satisfying to flip the bottle over and over between water and food. When I returned home with the bottle, it was very easy to take apart and clean. Head on over to FLPSDE and determine if this bottle will go with you on your next adventure.
