Bought 2. I think it protects my bottle. It does fit my 32 oz Takeya water bottle, but sometimes it comes off. My daughter does not like it. She would have like it to be more fitted to the bottle.
I was looking for something more like the water bottle to drink from, but easy to clean. It is easy to clean, but heavy. The water bottle I can stick in my pocket. Also, the drinking opening is smaller than a cheap plastic water bottle, I would prefer it be the same size. It is sturdy and well constructed.
I'm loving my new Takeya 22 oz. water bottle. I prefer the spout lid over the straw lids. Carrying handle is convenient. The capacity is the perfect size and I take it with me everywhere I go. It does an awesome job of keeping water cold. The bottle would make a great gift for friends.
These are the best water bottles. They never sweat and the handle swings back and forth if you're holding it when you're walking. The hot stays hot and the cold stays cold. I can't recommend these enough!
