Honestly, ESI chunky grips are great, they are comfortable and absorb a lot of trail vibration. And some will complain they are silicon and are therefore easier to rip, and I would respond that they are $10-15 and don’t actually get damaged that easily. The grip comes in a crap ton of colors, thicknesses, shapes, and lengths to best fit the rider; the ESIs are on all my bikes except my DH/Enduro.

[@jacgoosen3783]

Hi Seth! You said that the larger bottle didn't leak with the hole in the bottom. But it could be risky to apply pressure to the sides, pushing the inner surface away from the outer surface at the mating point. This could be improved by drilling a few smaller holes in the bottom, rather than one big hole, to keep some material in the middle that keeps the radius of the bottle constant.

Product suggestion for you to test out that I started using recently. Xpand Laces. I'm that guy that typically leaves shoes tied and slides them on and off, or wears slip on shoes. For MTB thats a bit hard because you want them tight. Xpand laces are elastic so they stretch for you to slide your foot in, keep tension, and no long laces to worry about getting caught in stuff. Have them on my Hellions with quick lacing system and the normal laces on my Vices that you also have. Been loving both and no issues riding with them. Saves me a little bit of time getting ready when I get to the trails and still need to slide on my knee pads. I'm not affiliated with the company at all, just someone who was surprised by product and its price(8 sets for $45), that I ended up converting most my shoes to have them.
