After few weeks the white paint peels off leaving residues in my hands, gloves, handlebars, frame, bottle holder, etc, etc...Also, the dual element design on cap traps water that can’t be removed. It’s a good looking bottle but not perfect.
I can confirm it, wanted to buy one today. I wanted to make sure what comment says is true, so I went to store check myself. And it's true, on the bottom was a number 7 (a very tiny and hard to see I must say). Tho the 7th plastic labeled as "Other" which means plastics that do not fall under the existing marking. But what exactly plastic that is? On the official site, it saying nothing but just "plastic". So until the manufacturer say what type of plastic that is, I won't buy and don't recommend buying these "Elite Fly" bottles. And let me tell you that BpA is not the only toxic chemical there is.
Old comment and vid but you are delusional. Yes #7 plastic labeled as "other" but does not mean unsafe. Website clearly states bpa free, and if you are so concerned with plastic toxicity go live in a bubble you are constantly surrounded by unknown plastics.
In theory the LDPE pellets get hot enough when extruded to kill any bacteria. I always wash my brand new bottles before use anyway, even though a lot of pro teams don't.
There are 2 types of contamination. Micro and chem. This clearly refers to chem contamination. Oil free compressors play big role in that. Other than that I have observed quite high GMP standards in an otherwise not regulated field of manufacturing. Keep in mind that microbiological load would be much lower in a freshly produced bottle than yours after 2-3 times of use even with cleaning in place.
I have a Elite Fly Granfondo bottle that starts losing its paint on 1st day of use...

Why are your caps so overbuilt? They are very dense and last forever. Much longer than the actual bottle.
You should mention that plastic in Fly bottles is 7. The worst possible choice for contact with food.

@@NitroGen150polycarbonate is stable under reg temp. Bottle says not to exceed 40c so unless you pour boiling water plastics shouldnt leech.

I need one totally red without these stupid word and applications!
