I've never had a water bottle that I didn't lose, until now! I take my Takeya with me everywhere, and because I love it so much, after two years, I STILL haven't lost it! It keeps my ice frozen and water frigid. I've evangelized it around my office so much that five other people on my team bought their own. I am curious to know if the bottle is recyclable - mine's gotten pretty beat up over the years, but I hate to toss it in a landfill when I get a new one.
The bottle is AWESOME, no sweating, and it is insulated. The lid is the best design of all competing products because it can easily be opened and closed with one hand for easy non-suction drinking.
This bottle spends it's life rolling around in the bottom of my kayak. So far, it has performed flawlessly with no leaks and consistent beverage temperature throughout the day. I did however bond the bottom bumper with a dab of RTV sealant.
I was worried that this bottle would taste like metal once I bought this, but I'm glad to be proven wrong ! This bottle keeps my water cold for hours and hours, and I'm thankful for the big size. Would recommend.
