Refuel Locking Lid Water Bottle / Nike
The Refuel is a squeezable bottle, predominantly soft LDPE, built around one-handed drinking in motion. Squeeze rather than tilt and the water comes faster than a rigid bottle of the same mouth size would allow, which suits running, cycling or a gym session where stopping to drink is the friction. The flip-top lid locks shut so it will not pop open under bag pressure, and a fast-flow leakproof valve handles the drinking. A foldable handle stows flat when it is not needed, and textured panels give grip. Everything about it is oriented to being grabbed, opened and drunk from without looking or stopping. It comes in roughly 710ml and 946ml sizes.
Design intent
- +The squeezable LDPE body delivers faster flow than a rigid bottle of the same opening, providing the flow rate active use needs without an oversized mouth that would spill.
- +The locking flip-top and leakproof valve keep it shut in a bag and spill-free in the hand, so it can be carried and used one-handed without thought.
Trade-offs
- -Single-wall plastic is uninsulated and will not keep water cold through a long session; it is built for flow and convenience, not temperature.
- -The foldable handle is a neat carry solution but adds a moving pivot that will eventually wear, a reasonable trade at the price rather than a lifetime fitting.
