Since I started using this bottle, I haven’t found the need to use my old water bottle. I prefer water bottles with a twist open top for drinking so I was happy this one has that style. I like that bottle’s compact shape and size, it’s comfortable for everyday use. It also feels lighter too. The coating makes it less noisy when carrying it around. My work has this awesome ice machine (best nugget ice) and the bottle is wide enough to fill without spilling. My water stays super cold. I haven’t had any leaks while using, so it seals well. Overall I really like this bottle.
