You'd think you'd seen it all, when it came to the design of water bottles. But this futuristic-looking Modular Bottle actually has some new, perhaps useful tricks:

The borosilicate glass insert is the red flag for me; while I understand the appeal of not drinking out of plastic, borosilicate's pretty delicate stuff—will this thing survive a drop? It's not like there's shock absorption on the inside.

That said, the ease of cleaning, the ability to increase the bottle's volume, the removable bottom compartment, the reusable straw, and even the different caps all appear useful. I'd use the Flat Cap for driving or other shouldn't-spill situations, and the "Industrial" cap when working outside with gloves on.

This was Kickstarted last year, to the tune of $1.8 million. They now retail for $80 to $115, depending on options.

The problem with 'modular' systems is that the user has to find a place to keep the unused extra bits... The extra bits tend to add clutter up a drawer, and aren't always to hand when you want them.

Another overhyped and overpriced entry in the hydration vessel craze. What problem is this product solving?
