• "Keeps drinks cold for HOURS!! WORTH THE MONEY!"

• "It's easy to grip, fits in standard cup holders, and doesn't leak from either screw-on cap."

• "It doesn't leak."
• "It never leaks as long as you close it correctly."

Cons:

• "Because of this problem this is not a bottle I would buy again."

• "The new bottle did not keep the water cold or hold the ice as long."
• "The cap does not set properly and the small cap on the spout leaks."

Durability

Pros:

• "Durable, no dents or leaks through the abuse I delivered to it."
• "I banged the thing on many surfaces so far it's taking the blow nicely."
• "Has taken several hard falls while full causing some severe dents, but it still works great."
• "I’ve dropped it several times so it has a few chips and dings but other than that’s its holding up great - no rust in the inside like I saw in some reviews."
• "This thing has fallen from heights of up to 5 meters as well as just off the cart. It has dents all over it, it's scuffed. It also continues to be leak proof."
• "So far, no dents or scratches on the bottle!"
• "A few minor scratches so VERY durable."

Cons:

• "The paint chips off very easily, even from slight drops."
• "The black color makes it heat up very fast and it cant hold the temperature of the water cold for very long time."
• "The rubber gaskets! They seem to get moldy easily which is frustrating."
• "The only mistake I made here was purchasing the white one. It did get a little dirty and scuffed throughout the week of hard work."
• "My fourth bottle was delivered today and has what sounds like metal shavings stuck inside the vacuum between the outer and inner metal shell."
• "They didn't provide the bumper ring for the bottoms like they did on my previous 2."
• "Because it’s the 40 ounce bottle, it doesn’t fit into my cupholders."
