I second the other reviewer's take on the snap and velcro closure. They've yet to fail me. I can loop the holder on my backpack's waist belt to keep my water within comfortable reach. The material is quite thick therefore the only drawback is that once my Nalgene bottle is in the sleeve, I can't put the whole thing in the side mesh pocket, doesn't matter what size/brand backpack/daypack you own.

I've had it and used it for several years and have yet the need to wash it. The Realtree pattern is quite nice to hide any tea stain or dirt well. The seam holds up still, no snag or loose thread.

I have only used it for my Nalgene 32oz bottles. I can freeze liquid over night and have cold drink almost the whole working day if I stay in the office (not so long if it is in the car). I can't leave home without it during summer time that's for sure.

I love my built bottle tote, so when my son upgraded to a sippy cup this fits perfect. Now, if the sippy leaks in my purse it gets on the tote which I can easily throw in the washer.

The neoprene bottle tote is a lovely design as well as strong and durable. The combo snap+velcro is brilliant, much stronger than either alone; I wish more load-bearing products used that. Handle length is sufficient to fold out of the way for drinking without un-snapping each time. Love that belt loop on the side, it helps you grip the bottle (especially helpful for small hands on the wide 40-oz bottle).

Functionally, I would never use a stainless water bottle without this tote. It keeps the water cold and absorbs bottle-sweat that would otherwise get my duffle bag wet. It also helps protect the bottle from getting scratched or dented.

My only disappointment is that the large 32-oz tote doesn't come in more, fun colors + patterns like it's smaller siblings. It would be nice for everyone in the family to have their own unique color/print. Ski Patrol Red, by the way, is a bright cranberry red, not the warm blood/tomato red that it appears on my screen.

I bought this to go with my new 40oz Klean Kanteen bottle. I have a smaller one (Built bottle tote and KK bottle) and I really like how it keeps the bottle from sweating all over my desk and keeps it cool. I drink iced tea all day and room temperature tea is gross- this keeps it cool enough all day long (sometimes I stick it back in the fridge for about an hour, though).

This is well made, and does a good job of keeping your drink cold for a couple of hours. The handle is easy to attach to bikes, baby carriages, or backpacks, and serves as dent prevention for your bottle too. I use it with a 32 ounce Guyot bottle, but it would work with virtually any bottle out there that size.
