I have many Takeya products, I thoroughly enjoyed them. I decided to buy a new one and retire an older one. It seems to me, that with the newer ones, the seal in the spout, doesn't create a tight seal like the older ones did, and ended up leaking when I put tea in it. The older models had the silicone ring that was thicker and you could take it out to clean, but these newer ones don't have that option, so with hot liquids, I don't know about cold, it leaks which is disappointing.
I bought this bumper because my original one went must have fallen off my bottle without me noticing and needed it be replaced. This bumper fit snug onto my water bottle and I love it because it protects my bottle from any dents.
After owning both a hydroflask & Takeya bottle I always see myself reaching for the Takeya. My drinks stay cold for hours on hours & I find it easy to drink from & carry. Also I feel like it’s a cute design :)
I'm not one to accumulate a great deal of stuff, but I finally decided it was time for a reusable water bottle that wasn't made of plastic. This product is perfect. I like the size, the insulation, and most especially the handle. It's comfortable to hold when walking. And when you like something, you reinforce that feeling by using it more. At least hydration is a healthy habit!
Not the same as older water bottles. This is thinner, lighter weight, does not hold ice without melting as long as the water bottles I bought several years ago. Same price, just cutting corners on quality.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I really needed a water bottle for the gym, that keep my drinks cold and wouldn't dent if dropped, the Takeya water bottle achieved all my expectations and more! This is now my go-to water bottle for not just the gym but for biking, runs or even just lounging around the house.
I love having the bottle bumper to protect my water bottle. After having one water bottle that got pretty beat up from drops and bumps, I have decided the bumper is a must.
