26OZ Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle, Double Wall Wide Mouth Lids Keeps beverage Hot or Cold Sweat Proof

Concerning the 'TRIPLE TREE 34 OZ Uninsulated Single Walled Stainless Steel Sports Water Bottle 18/8 Food Grade', only, the item I received is exactly as advertised, but that it doesn't weigh 8.5 oz, rather being 6.97 oz, or 7.18 oz with the included carabiner. The Amazon spec's say it's '18/8 Food Grade stainless steel', yet etched on the outside, under the TRIPLE TREE brand name, it says '304 stainless steel'. For what it's worth, I have no idea if they are the same thing by a different name or not, but just to say, it's described by two different names, in case that matters to someone. The carabiner is a freebie, and as such, it's clearly not stainless steel, but perhaps aluminum or something similar,. It is solid tho, with the spring snap lock sufficiently stiff so as to avoid most accidental releases, but easy enough to move intentionally. It's surprisingly good quality, and for a throw-in, a nice touch. Also a nice, is that the 'C' wire handle that the carabiner clips to, is of course SSteel and swivels left to right, yet requires enough force applied to do so, that it won't move on it's own, keeping any rattling at bay. Sweet, and totally unexpected. The cover screws on smoothly and tight, with a removable silicone gasket sealing the deal waterproof, and as well, a spare one in the kit. Apparently, the insulated version of this is only $1 more, and if all is equal to what I've got quality-wise, I would be very happy. Also, at 34 oz, it holds 1 liter, being 2 oz over a quart, also being very convenient. For as light as it is, it is solid and would take quite a hit to put a dent in it.

Simple and functional. I am using these to get away from bottled water in plastic bottles. After tons of research, single layer stainless is the best option. These bottles are inexpensive and work great. I wish the mouth was a bit smaller but that's my only gripe. Can the threads cross a touch and bind up on rare occasion? yeah but it'll still unscrew with a little effort and no damage done. Can the cap get a little water in it from where the handle enters? yeah maybe, if you soak them under water. The bottles are sturdy, don't leak (unless you have the cap loose), and function just fine. I bought 5 and will be buying more. I have used all 5 multiple times a day. If only they were usa made, but that's a story for another day. Solid product, get you equally solid water purification and you are sorted.

As promised, my new water bottle arrived on time, wrapped in plastic and packed inside a professional brand name cardboard container. I took it along on a hike today, and it perfectly meets my needs, providing 34 fluid ounces of clean, fresh water from a 304 stainless steel bottle. An extra gasket was provided with the bottle. For the price, or really for any price, this appears to be a very functional, professionally built product.

A single-wall steel water bottle will allow you to collect water from a suspect source, then boil it in the same container. This one works well for that purpose, the only thing lacking being a bail to hang the bottle over a heat source. A length of stainless picture-hanging wire can be made into a serviceable bail.

BEST WATER BOTTLE EVER, FINALLY. I have bought SO many water bottles, returned so many, and had so many malfunction or have their lids break. It seems like each one has different issues. This water bottle has the best design because it's so SIMPLE—and that’s the key with water bottle design, I’ve found. It also has the least plastic parts of any bottle out there. There’s only a small but easy-to-replace seal, and even the design of that is really, really good compared to others that easily collect and grow mold. I’m not sure if the seal is silicone, but I hope so—that would probably be ideal. They even send an extra replacement seal, which is a big deal in case the original one ever gets mold embedded in it (which can happen sometimes no matter how careful you are). That kind of detail just shows they actually thought things through. It’s also so light, even though it has insulation that actually keeps my water cold for 24 hours, easy. That’s a big deal, as most insulation makes bottles significantly heavier. The handle and lid are completely stainless steel, which is a huge deal because plastic lids just aren’t good. I’ve always found the screw-on cap to be the most foolproof, and the seal design is so good it never leaks if you screw it properly. The threads on the bottle are also really well designed—wide and easy to screw on properly. I really just want them to keep making larger sizes of these containers—all the way up to a half gallon, a gallon, even a 5-gallon version for trips. I also hope they innovate with square or rectangular fully stainless steel bottles to take in the car, to prevent them from rolling around and to improve packing efficiency, while keeping their 100% stainless steel ethos down to the carrying arm or handle. Good job with the matte finish on the exterior too—it keeps it from slipping from your hand. I honestly can’t say how grateful I am to have finally found the perfect water bottle... minus the fact that they don’t sell larger sizes for long whole-day hikes or car and camping trips.
