I love my LightCap Solar Water Bottle and show it off at soccer every week (yeah, I play indoor soccer again – and have the bruised legs to prove it…). People of all ages are impressed with it – conserves energy with a solar panel on the lid, has a choice of red and white light, looks very cool when filled with water and light goes through it, and it’s also a durable and a large 32 oz. water bottle.
