The 1st thing I noticed about my new bottle was the handle. I immediately noticed how much nicer it felt than my last bottle. This may seem like something minor but as someone who often carries it by handle, it is not minor. This little change will make it more comfortable to carry on hikes.
My husband's favorite water bottle. I had a 18 oz bottle I got free from a Nuun purchase. I unfortunately lost it at a race and I'm so disappointed. I will have to purchase another one as this is my favorite bottle.
I really like my 24 oz Actives bottle in Blush. It keeps my water very cold throughout the day and the spout lid does not leak. The only thing I don't like about it is it does not fit in my car's cup holder. My cup holders are on the slightly smaller side but this was disappointing.
I have tried several other brands of water bottles and this one does not dissapoint. I have found it to be slightly lighter than others I have tried, yet it feels just as sturdy as others with the same price point. This is not a cheap water bottle, but it does keep your drinks cool even after several hours sitting in the hot Florida sun while you are on the pickleball court. I haven't tried it past about 6 hours sitting on the court, but even at that point, I had a cold drink with ice still left in the bottle. The entire time, the bottle was sitting in direct sunlight. I did get the blue version of the bottle not knowing how heat might get absorbed by the sun. Based on how cold everything stayed, it is probably safe to choose any color. This is the second purchase of the same bottle, just in a different color.
