Specialized Purist

I'm going to try and make it my goal to write shorter posts because maybe you'll actually read them. Today's is about new water bottle from Specialized.  Everybody who does sports will know that over time water bottles will stain, decolor or just start to smell from putting Gatorade, Enudrox etc.  Specialized developed a new water bottle to combat this, it's called the "Purist"

So the idea behind this comes from a Lotus leaf being able to shed water and contaminants.  They do this by having a super low surface tension.  They also make this layer out of silicon dioxide (stuff that's in glass and quartz) so it's safe for you.  This prevents anything from sticking to the plastic and thus giving you a clean bottle and clean tasting water for years to come.  They did a tomato test to prove this, and it's actually kinda cool.  Washing them just requires you to rinse the bottle with water.

This got verified with other people doing this as well.  They said it's the closest thing to a perfect water bottle.  Only downsides include that it's almost twice as expensive as Specialized's other bottles and it doesn't come insulated.  So until the price comes down I shall resort to some major handwashing of my bottles and what not.
