This bottle is perfect and durable enough to take a beating. I got the white one, but personally I'd get another color since any scratches and dents are easy to see. Though I've never tried testing the 24+ hour insulation that it claims, I did have cold water in there (no ice) for hours and it was still just as cold as when I poured it in. It also has space on top of the lid to write your name with permanent marker so you don't it get confused with others. The cap also prevents spilling when not in use, so you could throw this back in your car/bag and not worry about any leaks. This is definitely a heavier duty bottle made to take a beating, and it also has space for Gatorade pods/energy tablets if those are your thing.
