I am forever in search of the perfect water bottle. I don't know how many reusable bottles I've bought in the last few years...too embarrassing to admit. But I think this is pretty dang close to perfect! It absolutely doesn't leak, it keeps my water cold forever, and it's the perfect size for travelling. I also have the 32 oz. which works great, but it was just too big for every day use and wouldn't fit in my car's cup holder. This one is great! The only problem I have now is keeping my young kids from trying to drink out of it. Backwash, ewwwww! LOL. But seriously, best bottle ever!!
My new canary yellow 40 oz insulated bottle joins my 40 oz stainless insulated bottle. Now I have one for hone and one for work. It's simply great. No leaks, no sweating, and it's impossible to misplace (bright yellow!!)
My Takeya bottle does not leak no matter what, and it has a rubber ring around the bottom and side for easy gripping and prevent dents. This morning I filled it with water and ice at 7 a.m., and it was still cold at 7 pm, after temperatures in the upper 80's all day. Best bottle ever!
After using the bottle for ice water while out and about, running around in the car (90+ degrees), I would say that my Thermos hydration bottle keeps ice water colder, longer. However, I LOVE this lid. It's easy to drink from, easy to refill and very, very secure. NO LEAKS, NO ACCIDENTALLY POPPING OPEN WHILE IN THE BACKPACK, and the bottle does a good job of keeping liquids cold. I did fill the bottle with ice and left it on the kitchen counter for about 26 hours and when I opened it there were still a few little ice cubes floating in the water. Not too shabby.
This bottle is perfect. It keeps water ice cold. It's got a none slip grip. The cap is perfection. No leaks. I will never buy a different brand water bottle again.
