This is a very good water bottle. It keeps my water super cold depending on how much ice is in it also the ice doesn’t melt fast at all unless you’re adding room temp water then the ice tends to melt quicker but that’s expected it’s really all about how cold the inside of the bottle is
I have used this bottle for about a month since my Yeti went floating down a creek while camping. I love the wide mouth for filling and to size of the spout. I don’t t like open drinking like uncovered straws, etc., so the screw top great. I was worried the handle would break because I carry this all day whereI go by the handle. I also like that I don’t have to actually place another part down on a surface in order to drink. The silicone boot is nice but does slip off easily if bottle is placed in tight holder as in your car. Highly recommend!
The design of the water bottle is great. The lid has good flow and no leaks. The rubber stopper for the bottom is very nice as well. The only issue I noticed is the lids mildew easily and often. The no leak design of the mouth piece makes it difficult to clean and remove the mildew.
Purchased the 24oz Actives insulated bottle with Spout lid in Cobalt blue on June 1st, 2021 and have used it virtually every day since. I use it throughout my entire daily routine, whether I'm exercising, working at my desk, running errands, or just chilling out, the bottle works great for all of these scenarios.
The spill-proof screw-on lid works perfectly. I've thrown it into a hiking backpack with a bunch of other items, placed it horizontally on seats in the car, and even dropped it a couple times, and it hasn't leaked once.
The insulation also works very well. Left it in the car several times during the hot summer months for a few hours and the water stayed cool (I don't typically use ice cubes). Also used it at the beach where it was in direct sunlight and the water stayed cool as well.
Really like the silicone sleeve on the bottom as it not only protects both the bottle and whatever surface you're putting it on, but also keeps it quiet when placing the bottle onto surfaces instead of making a bonging metallic noise like it would without the sleeve.
The handle is very useful and find it to be sturdy enough for normal use.
Measured the outer diameter using a digital caliper. - With the silicone sleeve, the diameter is 3 5/32" (~80.2mm) - Without the silicone sleeve (just the bare bottle), the diameter is 3 1/32" (~80mm)
With the silicone sleeve, the bottle usually does not fit all the way down into most automobile cup holders, but does manage to fit in enough to keep it secure. Without the sleeve, it fits down further and more securely.
The lid has two gaskets that keep this bottle water-tight; one for the main cap and one for the screw-on style spout cap. These gaskets (especially the spout cap one) must be removed and cleaned frequently, or an unpleasant odor will start to be noticed. The gaskets are a little tricky to remove, especially when wet, but isn't that hard.
Overall, this bottle is fantastic and would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a spill-proof insulated bottle.
