18oz size
I had bought one when I was a freshman in college (5 years ago), and left it on a taxi when studying abroad, so I wanted a new one. Here's what I have to say about it:
CONS:
1. Not a fault of the bottle, but this particular Amazon purchase comes with the plastic loop cap. The pictures are misleading because it's hard to tell its the plastic cap. It's not what you might see other people with, the metal loop cap which has better construction and no worry about plastic contact with your liquids. If that's what you want, you'll have to buy it separately.
2. Conducts heat (also a PRO, see below)
If you put hot liquids in it, be careful because it can burn your skin.
PROS
1. Environmentally friendly. To my knowledge, it's made of stainless steel, which can be melted down for other uses way later on in it's life cycle. You don't have to worry about chemicals leeching because it's not plastic.
2. Perfect size: I really don't need a bigger size.
Unless you're out in the desert where hydration is an issue.
I've gone hiking with it and honestly it's enough for day hikes. I hydrate before and after the actual adventure, and this bottle holds enough water for those hours in between.
For everyday hydration, there's always a water fountain or otherwise a bathroom (yay tap!) to fill up.
It's compact enough to be on the go at anytime. IT FITS IN THE BACKPOCKET OF MY JEANS. With some string, I can sling it over my shoulder and not worry about it.
3. Metal conducts heat (could be seen as a con).
For really cold days and nights, I'll layer up and steep some tea or hot water in this bottle and put it in my coat. Then when it cools off some, after an hour or so, I'll take it out and drink it when it's warm.
4. It will last you for years to come, although if you drop it some, the bottom will get rounded. That's not too much a problem, as just sort of how it is.
5. The stainless steel doesn't cling to smells as much as plastic. You can swish it around a few times and usually it'll get rid of any smells. I have however tried coffee, and you do get some weird taste if you drink water a few times after that.
BOTTOM LINE:
I keep it on my person at all times: it's compact enough for that, and to keep me hydrated. Keeps me warm when it's cold. BUY A FEW, NOW. Spread the word. Save the world.
Protip: String up a sling and have a carabiner on it.
