Finally...an insulated stainless sports bottle! And it works!!, July 17, 2008
With all that's been all over the media lately about the pitfalls of plastic water bottles, I decided to invest in a good quality reusable metal water bottle. But, I had some specific criteria....it needed to be insulated, it needed to hold at least 24 oz, and it needed to have a "sport" top that would allow me to gulp, not just sip. There are some really great-looking ones out there, but from what I read in reviews, they don't keep liquids from getting to room temperature rather quickly, so off I went to what ended up being a quite exhaustive search. I finally came across the ThinkSport insulated bottle.
The item shipped pretty quickly and I was pleasantly surprised at its appearance. It looks just as nice as the photo, which doesn't always happen. I tested it out right away. I filled it with water and about a half dozen ice cubes and took it out on the golf course in about 90 degree heat & humidity. Two and a half hours later, it was still ice cold. Wow! I also really like the little screen that snaps in to keep the ice cubes from blocking the opening. A nice feature I wouldn't have thought of, but I appreciate.
My only negative comment that I have is that the spout is a screw cap, and I REALLY wish it was a snap cap. The plastic connecting loop is nice, but it sort of hinders the opening and closing of the screw spout cap, not convenient when you need to grab a quick drink like during a workout. Also, it looks like the stainless steel is going to scratch up pretty easily, but then again, I am a little rough with it; it doesn't fit in any cupholders, so it ends up rolling around.
Overall, a GREAT product, and from what I can tell, there aren't very many out there that has all the features that this one has. I plan on picking up one for my husband and recommending it to my friends.

ThinkSport Stainless Steel Bottle - 12 oz., April 29, 2009
This is a great bottle. Has two screw off openings on top. One opening is large enough to put in ice or tea bag and the other smaller opening to drink out of. On top of the larger opening you have a stainless mesh insert that snaps in to keep ice or other things such as cloves or other spices or tea leaves from entering the smaller drink opening when in use. The smaller opening has a screw on cap that keeps attached to the bottle by a plastic strap that also acts as a handle. The smaller cap will not get lost and helps keep things like bees and ants out of your drink. Design makes this easy to take along wherever you go and no plastic taste! Stays cold for a long time. Convenient and well made.Measures 2 3/4 wide at it's widest point and 8 1/2 inches tall. Also convenient if you need to take medications on the go. If you need more hydration get the next size up.

Perfect, for Me!, June 29, 2008
ThinkSport Stainless Steel Water Bottle - 750ml
This is a marvelous bottle. The shape was the deciding factor: no slippee. Other features: fill it with ice and water - still ice cold after 10 hours by my bedside. Big top and sipping top screw on and off very nicely. I started by buying the 350ml bottle and like it so much I'm buying the 750ml today. Both have a little mesh filter that fits inside - again the fit is perfect.
My only two complaints are (1)I can't locate any information about this company. What else does it make? Where is this product made? and (2)The name, "ThinkSport" rubs off after 5 or 6 uses. Weird.
