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.

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.

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!

I've purchased this bottle in the past so I jumped at the chance to buy it in pink to support breast cancer research!

The bottle is even better than pictured because it's all pink even the top!

I like this water bottle because it is doubled walled so it doesn't "sweat"; it has grips on the sides for easy handling; it has a loop on the top so I find it easy to carry it with my hands full of other items; it has a twist and shut top (I don't use this feature but it might be good for someone else); and BEST OF ALL, the bottle is nearly unspillable!!! This is very important for me because I am klutz and knock things over frequently plus I have three large dogs with powerful tails. They knock my bottles over all the time.

I recommend this bottle to my friends.

I have 3 of these bottles and absolutely LOVE them. I have given away 5 and will be ordering more. I do not understand the problem the others have had. The only trick I have discovered is that if you seal it too tight a vacuum is created and it is hard to get the water through the straw. Just loosen the lid and it is perfect. No problems with spills. A PERFECT BOTTLE for my friends and me.

It is a bit annoying that it doesn't fit in the cup holders at the gym, but I love the fact that this bottle keeps drinks cold--as long as you add ice. However, it is tricky to drink out of it without whistling, and if it tips over it does leak a bit. I can't shake it up to mix flavors into my water--again the leak issue. All pink or black and pink doesn't seem like a big deal. Although seeling the pictured product seems like a good idea. I am concerned about BPA and a bottle that you shouldn't wash in the dishwasher seems a little silly. I wish I could find a BPA free,truely leak proof, insulated bottle like this.

I bought this water bottle after searching for a 24oz insulated bottle with a straw... no small feat. And to make the search more difficult, I wanted one that was dishwasher safe and had some way of carrying it (loop, handle, whatever). The options at this size are very limited. Actually this is the only one I've found that fits all my requirements. I found 18oz insulated straw bottles in another popular brand, but they had no handle or loop and weren't dishwasher safe. Also worth noting: this one is BPA-free. I might have missed that in the description, but I was glad to see BPA-free on the label on the bottle when it arrived.

I fill it 2/3 with water, 1/3 with ice at around 8:30am and the water is still pretty cool in the early afternoon, even in summer. I have noticed some minor condensation on the hottest days, with most of it being on the rubberized grip part. It's not enough to, like, ruin a table top, but wanted to mention it all the same. It fits in my Honda Odyssey cupholder (which is very generous), but no way would it fit in our Passat's cupholder. So just a consideration. Size is definitely a trade off for capacity + insulation.

Overall, it's easy to use, easy to clean, and has the rare combination of features I was seeking at a reasonable price. So it gets a thumbs up from me.

I've used this bottle for approx. 3 yrs, (and bought a couple more as they are hard to find (try Target). - They are perfect for Air Travel, as you can bring the empty through security check, then fill it with ice at any of the kiosks in the airport, or once you're aboard the plane.then just order a whole can of soda or seltzer water to fill it up. - You can sip at will, then close it up for later, after a nap, or whatever without worry about spillage, or knocking those little plastic cups they give you, off of the tray. (also great for road travel for the same reasons, and Greener too!)

I ordered this product for someone and recieved an all pink bottle which i have to say looks pretty ugly. I had ordered the one with the black sides and lid and everthing else pink but i didnt get that.

This is a great bottle because it keeps your water cold and fits into the drink holders in the car. The only problem I've had is that it is said to be unbreakable. I dropped it once and it cracked, not to the point that I couldn't use it, but it's still cracked. Otherwise it's a great way to drink lots of water and move from meeting to meeting without worrying about spilling.
