Amazon Basics Stainless Steel Insulated Water Bottle With Spout Lid, 30 ounce, Gray

KEEPS DRINKS HOT BUT IT DOESN'T KEEP COLD DRINKS COLD FOR TOO LONG.

It’s a basic insulated bottle, so don’t expect the quality of a Yeti or Hydroflask. It keeps water cold until the outside reaches above 90, and then it warms up the water as fast as it does the exterior (when the bottle feels hot, the water will be very warm). Also, it dents easily…it fell out of my saddlebag onto soft-ish ground and made a huge dent near the bottom. Now has three other dents I’m not sure from what. Within a week of use, the plastic loop just snapped off. I do guided horseback trips, so I know to only take this on short rides as it is not built to endure hot hot temps here in the desert! But other than that, it’s a fantastic BASIC mostly insulated water bottle 🤣

This is the 2nd thermos-type "water bottle" I've bought in a month.-- The first, more expensive, actual Thermos brand 24oz ended up being the right size to replace the daily-use, plastic water bottle I was carrying in my tote-purse. But, a tad too small when trying to put two cans of bubble water in plus fresh squeezed citrus/pulp/peel AND ice.-- This 30 oz., generic Amazon brand bottle was the max size I was willing to go to fit in those 2 cans/citrus without moving to one with a formal handle; as, I became concerned of being able to grip with one hand while full of liquid. It met my expectation very well.-- The slick finish takes a larger, full, strong hand to grasp & pour with one hand. Something to consider if buying for a youth (recommend 24oz size thermos instead) or hand size/dexterity concerns.-- The unit is spill proof, but ONLY when the simply designed lid AND cap are fully screwed on (lid screws onto bottle, and attached-cap screws onto lid).-- This is NOT a one handed flip-top, rather a screw top that flips back (yes, rachets into open position so does not flip back closed when in use); so, either two hands will be required to unscew lid, or one if user has the dexterity and surface to set thermos on.-- The spout is easy to drink from. The liquid flows uninhibited. A straw can easily be inserted, but not spill proof at that point.-- 3" diameter bottom feels stable enough, but no rubber to quiet setting in down or grip better to surface set on. Also, it does NOT taper, so it does not fit in my van's dashboard or console cup holders.-- It comes with a built in carrying handle that lies flat when not in use; but, the plastic looks like it will be the first thing to break off after a few drops...and, the screw on attached-cap a close second (which would then negate the spill-proof function--time will tell, as this is 1st day own this new product type).-- Good, wide mouth (2.25") cup opening with a small, curved inside edge. Wide enough to fit a standard kitchen sink scrub brush (unlike smaller 24oz other brand I purchased that requires an actual bottle brush).-- See pix for grip size, surface, lid, inside curve, and outer metal ring a carbiner-corded handle (not included) fastens over well (but takes some effort).
