Cool Product
I've seen SplashGuard for sale at REI for months now. On my last visit to REI, I saw a SplashGuard display by the register, and, you guessed it, I bought one.
Yes, it works as advertised, but that's not what makes it a cool product.
The SplashGuard actually changes the way you drink from the bottle. You're no longer simply drinking from an open container. Rather, you're pulling liquid out. Have you ever wanted to convert your Nalgene bottle into a high-flow adult-sized baby bottle? (No? Why not?!) Now you can.
How's that for a marketing schpiel?
For me, there's something really, really pleasing about drinking from my newly converted bottle. It's true: as we've suspected all along, I'm a big baby.

WOW...that's insanity. I just use the narrowmouthed bottles...no splash, no muss, no drippy drinking problems.

i like the wide bottles too, and have seen the splashguard. every time i see them i think "totally unnecessary". i say this as water spots on my shirt are drying - apparently they are necessary!

But won't it still splash all over you as it goes through your hockey mask?
I use the Big 5 with a straw water bottle. :-)

R: I have a narrowmouthed bottle, but it's just not the same. It's functional, but not pleasing.
C: I used to think "totally unnecessary" too. Hooray for impulse buys!
K: Amazingly, I have bottles that don't go with me to the hockey rink!
