I recently Purchase LifeFactory Glass Bottle. It immediately caught my attention, once I seen it in the store. Most of the Bottles sold in stores, are made out of some type of plastic. Overall, Plastic has too many chemicals within them. LifeFactory seem like a fresh breath of air. I do not see a lot of glass bottle containers around that often. The only glass bottles that I have seen is spring water bottles that are sold in organic stores. At least LifeFacory, is doing something about the plastic chemicals issues with style. Since we seen this company, many other start up companies may follow in their footsteps.
It is very cool to see the glass bottle has a 100% Silicone coat, to protect the glass itself. Also the Silcone comes in different colors. When I hold the silcone in my hands it feels very grippable to me. Plus I have a confidents that I will not drop the out my hand. Inaddition, there is a handle for when you do not want to hold on to the bottle. The silicone is dishwasher safe. From what I can tell, the silicone coat might be able to come off the glass but; you have to tug at it to take it off completely. The silicone coat has a mililiters and ounces measurments on oppoiste sides of each other. Since, I have the 22oz blue water bottle, the mililiters measure up to 600ml and ounces are up to 20oz.
There is one mistake I made when I purcashe this product. I should of got the regualar top cap instead of the flip cap. I find that regualr twist top will make it secure to move around with. The flip cap might leak your liquid, if you swing it everywhere around. I recommend to get the regular twist top for starters, then move to the straw top cap or flip cap. By the way, you can buy the tops (caps) individually. I am just happy it has a handle to carry around like a bag. Also, I forgot to mention at the bottom of glass bottle written on the silicone, it said,"Patent: WWW.LIFEFACTORY.COM/IP". It is just to let you know. Take Care.

SIDE NOTES:
- BPA (bisphenol A) : "BPA is found in polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. Polycarbonate plastics are often used in containers that store food and beverages, such as water bottles. They may also be used in other consumer goods." - http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/expert-answers/bpa/faq-20058331
- BPS (Bisphenol S): "Studies have demonstrated BPS’ ability to mimic estrogen just like BPA. And recent University of Texas research on rat cells has found another key resemblance. BPS can cause endocrine disruption at the same low levels as BPA. To our bodies, it doesn’t appear to matter much if our ATM receipts contain BPA or BPS." - http://healthychild.org/chemical-watch-bisphenol-s-doesnt-get-an-a/
- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): "Vinyl chloride, the chemical used to make PVC, is a known human carcinogen, according to the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Workers in PVC manufacturing facilities and residents of surrounding communities are at risk from exposure to these chemicals which contaminate the water, soil and air around these facilities." - http://healthychild.org/easy-steps/reduce-your-use-of-pvc-in-plastics-and-other-household-products/
- Phathalates (Phthalate Esters): "Phthalates (pronounced "thah-lates") are chemical plasticizers that have been widely used since the 1950s to soften plastics that would otherwise be brittle and crack when bent. Because phthalates are not chemically bound to the plastics they're added to, they're continuously released into the air or food or liquid. Did you ever notice how plastic sometimes hardens over time? That's because the phthalates have leached out of it." - http://www.babycenter.com/0_phthalates-what-you-need-to-know_3647067.bc
