norrona 500ml Soft Flask

The Norrøna 500ml Soft Flask is primarily designed for hydration during long-distance cycling, as evidenced by user reviews. One reviewer successfully used it to carry gels during a bike race, praising its secure closure and lack of leakage. However, a significant criticism highlights a persistent, unpleasant plastic taste, attributed to the Hydrapak materials used in its construction. Despite attempts to eliminate the taste, it remained, rendering the bottle unusable for one reviewer, particularly after a run. While its functionality for carrying gels during cycling is appreciated, the significant taste issue raises concerns about its suitability for drinking. Therefore, this product is cautiously recommended only for cyclists who intend to use it for carrying gels or other non-consumable substances during long rides, and *not* recommended for those seeking a hydration solution for drinking.\n
