I LOVE this water bottle. I am a complete water bottle snob. I have in the past only purchased glass bottles because I could taste the metallic aftertaste of steel bottles and that disgusting plastic taste of the plastic ones. I bit the bullet on this one because I needed something lighter to take on hikes and to travel with (my glass bottles were too large to fit into the side pockets of my little bike backpack that I use all the time). I bought this right before a trip to Israel, where I spent half of it in the desert. I read all the reviews about how cool it kept water and for so long, and took the leap.
Visually I love the bottle. It's a beautiful bottle and I get many compliments on it. It has scratched off at the bottom where my metal water bottle holder on my bike has scratched against it. I still think it's durable as it got no scratches before that, and shoving it into metal that grinds against it really isn't fair to the bottle.
Best of all, it really works. Even after hours in direct sunlight, I could open it up and enjoy beautifully cold, refreshing water -- even without ice put in it. It has incredible insulation. I bought two thermaflasks from Costco that claimed similar properties and don't think they do nearly as good a job as this. I keep thinking it is pretty lame to gift people water bottles, but I'm so tempted to make this my go-to gift for people for Christmas this year. I've not tried anything hot in it, but I'm confident it would do equally well in maintaining temperature on the other end of the spectrum.
My only complaint is it doesn't seem quite watertight. Sometimes when it gets tipped upside down, especially when I've just filled it, I find water has leaked out of it. Just in small amounts, but it makes me think perhaps my lid is defective. Either way, I wouldn't let that deter me from purchasing another. I like the smaller 17oz size, but I could see the appeal in a bigger bottle as well, especially if you are planning to do a lot of exercise without a readily available water source nearby.
