AUPET Insulated Neoprene Adjustable Stainless Reviews Summary

Design and Comfort

Pros:

• "Great hands free bottle holder. Just throw the strap over your shoulder and go."
• "Strap is quality, adjustable, and has swivel mounts (so strap doesn't get twisted)."
• "The sleeve is thick in nature, so I feel that this will also add to the heating/cooling affect for any kind of beverage."
• "Came as described for carrying drink bottles. WOW! The color of the carrier is so gorgeous..much better than the pix!"
• "I can go hands free with my drink, Using the strap at it longest for cross body, or a bit shorter for over the shoulder."
• "This bag fits my water bottle perfectly. My water bottle is 25 ounces and it fits the way it should."
• "The straps can be quickly/easily removed when I'm using the bottle at home."

Cons:

• "I do wish the straps were maybe a little wider and padded for extended comfort, but no biggie."
• "I just don’t like that I really have to push and cram my 20oz cup (the reusable refillable coke cups that universal sells) in to make it fit."
• "The only downfall to this sleeve is that the bottom of the sleeve is equally padded, so your water bottle may not sit perfectly on uneven surfaces."
• "It rubs the neck and is a little abrasive so I ended up strapping it on my back like a backpack."
• "I feel that the strap could be wider and thicker all the way around."
• "The only down side is the stitching started to come undone."
• "Unfortunately, it didn't fit my medium sized Yeti even after purchasing the largest size available."

Durability and Quality

Pros:

• "The carrier is well-made and the handle is stitched on well."
• "Has survived a band season and Winter Guard season so seems durable."
• "The construction at seams, strap/hook connections feature tight cross-stitching, which leads me to presume that the product should hold-up well."
• "I've only been using this for about a month, but it seems very sturdy."
• "All the seams are well-sewn and flat, no loose threads or odd bits of neoprene poking out."
• "They are both well constructed and fully stitched around the bottom seam."
• "The stitching appears to be very well done and the strap appears to be very sturdily affixed to the material."

Cons:

• "the plastic clasp came broken so I had to duct tape it to use the strap."
• "I'm not so sure how the stitching will hold up over time but looks okay for light everyday use."
• "But within a few months it started ripping where the straps are attached to the neoprene."
• "Where the strap meets the holder ripped off less 3 weeks after I started using on both of the ones I purchased."
• "The strap after a few uses has started to tear off from the holder."
• "TWO week after using the plastic part broke, rendering it useless to me, since All I really wanted was a carrier for my water bottle!"
• "Somewhat disappointed!"

Functionality and Convenience

• "I use this when I go on light hikes. It’s great for my plastic water bottle( which I recycle) or my stainless steel bottle. I love being hands free."
• "I can’t say enough about this water bottle sleeve. Having the cross body allows for freedom of hand!"
