I owned the older Chute model (two of them actually) and even though it was my favorite bottle, I always wore out the thin straps that held the small bottle cap down or kept the larger lid in place. I also found it rather difficult to pin down the small lid when drinking, so it would always come back and hit you in the face unless you held it down. The magnet solves that well. I also find the top much more sturdy than the original model.
Bottom line: This newer model was clearly a response to these issues found in the original model, and I love the changes they've made. It also doesn't seem to leak as much as my older Chutes did. Always nice to see well-thought-out design improvements that are clearly based on customers' responses.
The versatile and well-loved Chute bottle has been improved to feature a NEW magnetic top that easily stows the cap. Drink freely from the Chute Mag thanks to an angled spout that provides a high flow of water without sloshing or spilling. The durable and leak-proof 400ml size is great for sipping during a workout or at work. And it's still 100% free of BPA, BPS and BPF and now even better at keeping the cap out of the way for easy, one-handed drinking or pouring.
