I love the top with both a small and large opening. The blue color is perfect. The size is great. I have not tested the insulated value, because I finish my water within 2-3 hours (it does stay cold for that long though). The only complaint is that it can be tippy.
I bought he straw kid 32oz in white. You have to be super careful because the paint scratches. I took it in my purse once and it came out scratched. So now I only use it in my home. And the straw leaks which is very inconvenient
Purchased this item in June 2020 and it works great! Filled it up and had it next to the pool with me all day on the 4th of July. Kept my beverage cool the whole time. I love Takeya products. I have every size of the Takeya Activities products. All have performed great. As good as Yeti but half the cost and better features. Yeti does not have a spout whereas the Takeya does. Try one, they are great!
I switched to the 24oz battle after having used Takeya 40oz bottles for years. Although the 40oz was/are fantastic quality, the issue I had with them was that they were too large for my car's cup-holder, they were a bit cumbersome for my backpack & airplane travel; and carrying 40oz around on a walk was a bit heavy.
I have had two Active 240z bottles for 5 months now, and they are used on a daily basis.
IMHO the 24oz is the perfect size for daily use: unlike the 40oz version, the 24oz fits perfectly into the cupholders of my car and my wife's car, it's a more convenient size for airline travel and daypacks , and is lighter and less cumbersome for long walks, and yet 24oz is still plenty large enough to get my drink on.
IT IS WELL INSULATED: It keeps my drinks cold all day: if I fill it with ice in the morning, I can generally refill it with water several times throughout the day, and when I wake up the next day there is usually still ice left in it. And, it does not sweat.
I had a 24oz originals that had gotten lost in January after 7 months of use. When I went to order a new one I saw the "Actives" model and decided to try it out. I find the Actives superior to the original due to the bumper on the bottom ... it just makes putting the bottle down on the wood tables throughout my house feel much more comfortable. Also, although I never saw or felt the Original sweat, on a couple of occasions I noticed the original left a small mark/ring on one of my wood tables, as if the bottle had sweat. After 5 months of daily use with iced water, I have had zero issues with rings on the Actives; and that may be in part due to the bumper.
As for coating: I got one powdered coating bottle and one stainless steel color. The powder coating is superior in my opinion because the stainless still is more slippery in one's hands...especially when washing it.
As an aside, with respect to the lids: I found that the lid from my 40oz bottle can be swapped out with the lid on my 24oz bottle; turns out all their lids are the same size. Also, although the bottles are NOT dishwasher safe, according to their webpage their lids are dishwasher safe (I personally handwash my lid at the sametime I handwash my bottle, but it is nice to know the option is there).
Just recently received my two thermos, Baltic Teal and Rose Gold. These are beautiful and way affordable as well. Only 18 ounce though so don’t plan on a long day trip with these. I will be ordering the onyx black color very soon.
I bought two of the 32oz sport bottles. One of them is great! No issues whatsoever. The second bottle is beautiful love everything about it the color, the size and aesthetic but it leaks from the cap. It’s kind of inconvenient when I’m at the gym because it leaks water everywhere. Besides that issue with the cap I really love my bottles! Thank you!
