Solid and stays cold when it's hot

I won a 40oz Takeya Active water container at a beach tennis tourney this past year and LOVE it!
Frankly, I hadn't heard of the brand before then and probably wouldn't have spent the money on it... mainly because I already have 6+ water bottles already - Klean Kanteen, others like that from companies I've worked at, and some double-insulated plastic ones (Nathan and Polar Bottles). But also because it's a lot more expensive than those options and I didn't believe it would be worth the extra cost.
Now that I've used it for awhile, I'm a believer and it's my ""go to"" bottle.
I have filled it up with cold water and play beach tennis for hours and hours at the beach, or left it in a hot car in direct sunlight for hours while out triathlon training, and the water stays (nearly) as cold as when I first put it in. The water also seems to be less ""plastic-y"" and more crisp, clean tasting. I also prefer the water spout in this bottle vs my others. It's easy to drink out of and isn't as hard to clean.
I'm now considering buying a smaller size.
To note: the 40oz is quite large (it barely fits in my car's cup holder) and is a bit heavy once filled up, so probably overkill for short trips or activities, but it's great if you're going to be hanging out somewhere for hours at a time or just go through a lot of water.
I received the 18oz Takeya as gift from my boss. This morning I used it for the first time to make tea infused with fresh ginger and lemon. I made the tea at 9:00 am, it is currently 1:36 pm and the tea is still warm. I initially had to pour the tea into another cup to cool off this morning, but I REALLY appreciate the capability of the Takeya. It works!
I love this! I've dropped this many times(I'm kind of clumsy... :I) but barely a dent has appeared, ever. I love the lid- I carry it around with me when I switch classes at school and it makes it super easy to carry everything! One thing that I don't like about it is that I can't really fit into a normal cupholder but this is the 32 ounce water bottle and that okay but at times I wish it could, I could get the smaller one if needed. However this hold so much water that is awesome! And the cupholder problem isn't too bad. During Field Hockey season for me I always had to bring two water bottles to practices or games because I always ran out in the middle , however I only need this water bottle and have enough water leftover! It also keeps my water cold for a long time and if I put ice cubes in the morning at the end of the day there will still be some left over! I have other water bottles that are a different brand or different design to them then TAKEYA makes theirs that I love but there is always some kind of main problem about them like one doesn't fit ice cubes, or doesn't hold a lot of water, or the water is never cold when needed...but this waterbottle( 32 ounce actives Teal) is perfect!!!I would soo recommend this to anyone looking to get one or give one to somebody! Finally a water bottle I love! Will get another one in the future if needed.
Everyone in my family has their own Takeya water bottle but this one is my two year olds! I can fill it up in the morning and it stays cold for him all day long. He loves it! Thank you for the great product!
I've purchased numerous bottles over the years, but never found one that made me want to drink water, until I found this one.
I have the 32oz in Fire and my daughter has the 32oz in Orchid. My water remains cold which is a huge plus because I don't like to drink room temperature water.
I'm use to my bottles having a straw, but found it more helpful without the straw. I also love the handle!
I also appreciate the lifetime warranty! Well definitely buy another in the future.
I am writing this review for the Takeya 40oz bottle. As far as insulated drinking bottles, this is the highest quality and most versatile bottle I have ever owned. It was an investment to me, because the cost reflects the quality, but a good investment! I used 2 of them for cold water storage/drinking vessel during this last summer, and keeping the bottle in my work van, I found the water remained cool and drinkable even after an overtime shift. Ambient temperatures of 25deg C+ and still cool drinking water. Overall great bottle! Great capacity too!
I bring my Takeya literally everywhere I go. I used to have one of the non-activies and the bottom would get all dented on my adventures. The active style is def the way to go with the rubber bottom to protect the bottle. Can't wait to order my next one! Plus it keeps water super cold but pretty sure that goes without saying!
I love my Takeya 24 oz bottle for travel. Fit perfectly in my BP and enough to satisfy on any plane ride. Water stays cold, never leaks, and the lid is perfect for drinking in tight quarters. The awesome midnight blue color is just a statement making bonus. I will be adding the yellow next!
