Had onefpr a couple years that worked great.Even through many multiple drops. Whenthe lid finally gave way, I decided tobuy a new one with custom graphics printed on both front and back. The front image looks great! The back image appears to have just stopped 3/4 of the way into the print.
I have tried different types/brands of water insulated bottles and this is by far the best. I purchased the light blue 18oz and carry it everyway! Perfect size, keeps drinks cold and all the specs in the description. I just ordered the canary (yellow) !
I have used the water bottle for two years now, but would have purchased a different Takeya product. The main issue was the bumper rapidly became deformed and fell off, and as a result I now have some denting on the bottom of the bottle. These have not caused any leaks. The spout can also be difficult to clean and sometimes may have a leak due to (I presume) a slightly poor angle of screwing it back on.
Mostly love these water bottles, but why doesn’t the official website sell the rubber bases in the same place they sell the spouts? I’ve lost a couple of these already and it’s not easy to replace in the same color you bought them.
I was here when Takeya was still patent pending. It’s the only reason I’m able to drink 60 oz of water everyday—COLD, UNENDINGLY CRISP water. My coworker lovingly calls it “Antietam” for the amount of dings and dents it’s endured under my ownership. But I’m afraid I am attached to it for the long haul. My Takeya is ALWAYS the water my bozo brothers grab for on our hikes too. They know it’s the best. Easy to clean, so I don’t get a strange mold-borne disease either 👍
I've used mine pretty much daily for a couple of years now, and I'm so pleased with how well it continues to perform. I've never had trouble with it leaking and will confidently zip it inside my backpack when I need to keep my hands free. I replace the rings every 6 months or so when I can no longer scrub them clean, and I particularly appreciate being able to easily get replacement gaskets here on this site. It will allow me to get many more years out of this water bottle.
Bottle still holds liquid, is leakproof, and does stay moderately cold for a few hours, but after almost daily use and multiple trips through the dishwasher, the bottle seems to have lost most of its insulating properties. The bottle is exceptionally cold on the outside, and does not keep ice and chilled beverages cold throughout the day. I have a travel tumbler from Takeya that still works fine, but this one's going in the trash.
