Top Notch Water Bottle!, June 12, 2007
This review is from: Trudeau Cool Down 24-Ounce Hydration Bottle, Breast Cancer Awareness, Pink (Kitchen)
I just received this bottle as a gift and I love it. While I've broken several others by dropping them right from the freezer, this one takes a beating and comes out on top. I don't need to put it in the freezer to keep my water cold for several hours. I just put refrigerated water in it and I have cold water most of the day, even in a warm car! One of the best features is the dual wall that prevents sweating. No more puddles under my bottle at work. To open it you just twist the very top of the lid and the straw pops up for you. When you're done just twist it back the other way for a leakproof closure. That way it's very sanitary too. Just can't be beat.

Not The Best For Running, But Still Useful, November 20, 2007
This review is from: Trudeau Cool Down 24-Ounce Hydration Bottle, Breast Cancer Awareness, Pink (Kitchen)
I'm a guy, but I'll use a pink bottle in support of breast cancer. A baby blue or clear option would have been nice, though. But my wife bought it and it was at hand over the weekend, so...
I used this on a recent strenuous hike, and found its advantages to be:
1. Double layer avoids condensation, a true plus.
2. Good capacity.
3. Built-in covered straw, avoids getting Runner's Dust into your mouth.
4. It survived a couple of drops onto rocky soil, and did not leak.
5. Carabiner lets one carry it with one finger.
Disadvantages:
1. Opening the straw seemed to require both hands, although this may get easier with time.
2. The straw does not pop up, so one must use Runner's Fingers covered with Runner's Dirt to open it.
3. Carabiner is a little small to latch onto a belt or nylon webbing. I was wearing a fanny pack but would up carrying it in my hand for three miles. This can probably be replaced with a larger one, and it's probably fine for backpacks.
4. On a belt, it flops around when running, a nuisance. This may be OK for power walking, have not tried yet. I may break down and get a special belt.
5. Not exactly worthless in the insulation department, but it could be better at keeping cold water cold.
So, recommended with reservations. I'm probably not the ideal target market for this, but I appreciate the large-ish capacity and the double layer.

A cool water bottle, February 15, 2008
This review is from: Trudeau Cool Down 24-Ounce Hydration Bottle, Breast Cancer Awareness, Pink (Kitchen)
My daughter gave me the Trudeau Cool Down Polycarbonate Hydration 24-ounce bottle, and I have been using it everyday. It's great, doesn't sweat, stays cool for a long time, and it is so easy to get my proper water intake for the day. I would definitely recommend it!
