Thinksport BPA-free Double Wall Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Sports Bottle

Toxic free or less toxins than other bottles, screen/filer is great as I add ingredients like coriander seed and don't want to chock on them while I drink, and good size.

These are great bottles. I have had mine for several years now and they go everywhere with me. I have 2 of them and they go to work every day with me. One has ice tea in it and the other one has water in it. They are extremely durable. I had to look back and I ordered these in 2011. Last summer I did have to order a new top for the one because the lid cracked. That is 3 years of constant use before the plastic screw on lid cracked! And I'm bad about over tightening lids.I actually have 2 of these. One that is blue and one stainless. The blue one has lost some of it's blue finish but it still works great. The stainless one just has some scuff marks on it. That is pretty good for getting dropped and tossed and letting them roll around in the truck.That plastic strap is pretty tough too. When we are camping and I'm riding my bike around i just hook the strap over the handle bar and it just hangs there, I haven't had a strap break yet. No need for a bottle holder on my bike. It has a built in one even though I don't think they had that in mind when they put it on there.The inner removable screen is great. I can put ice cubes in it or a tea bag and I don't have to strain the water through my teeth so I not chocking on an ice cube or tea bag. You do have to brush the screen once and awhile to clean off the tea build up because the screen is pretty fine.Since it is double wall stainless it keeps things cold for quite a long time. I haven't ever used it for something hot though. I use my thermos for that.

I have used many different non plastic water bottles since 2002 when my mother was diagnosed with MS and she got rid of all our plastic though out the house. Over the years I have found many things I like and dislike about the ones I have used, especially the double walled insulated ones. The first thing I noticed about this bottle is that it is slightly textured for better grip. This also means the paint will stay on better and longer than my previous ones. The next thing I noticed was the bottom was different that the ones I have used previously. It seems like the seal is much better protected than my other bottles. I have always preferred the sports top to the open style top but with this one haveing a smaller drinking spout and a wide opening for filling made all the difference. I filled this with loose leaf tea for the first use because I wanted to test the tea screen in it and I was very impressed. None of the tea bits made it into my mouth and the tea was made at the same time as my coffee that morning 6:45am and I didn’t start drinking it until 11ish am and it was still just as hot as when it was made. The last drink I took about 1pm and it was at the perfect drinking temperature. ( I started it at super hot knowing I wouldn’t drink it right away which wasn’t needed since it didn’t start cooling until I was opening the bottle to drink it.) I am highly impressed and will be buying more in other sizes too!

This is a very nice insulated SS bottle. I have had it for a few weeks now and have been very pleased with its performance.I looked at loads of metal bottles in the quest for one that fit my requirements. Wanting an insulated bottle narrowed my search considerably, since many of the popular brands like Sigg and Klean Kanteen are not insulated.I had been using one from flylady.net that was a gift from a friend and I was happy with it. However, it was only 16 oz., and for a typical work day that wasn't enough. Another problem was my locker at work is only 11" high, so I needed something with more capacity that was not too tall.This Thinksport bottle fit my needs well. 25 oz. Insulated. Under 11" tall. The down side of being shorter is that it's wider and won't fit in the cup holder of your vehicle, but for my needs height was a bigger issue. If you need a larger capacity SS bottle that will fit in a cup holder, look at the Thermos Intak 26 oz.Pros: Does not contain Lead, Cadmium, Bisphenol-A (BPA), PVC or phthalates!Great insulation! I usually put 2 or 3 ice cubes in, then fill it with ice water in the morning, and it will stay ice cold all day (without sweating condensation).The little screen is a good idea that I have not seen in similar products.The shape makes it easy to hold, and the cap lanyard that doubles as a carry handle is a great idea. I like that the handle is wide, since that makes it more comfortable to carry. Unlike others I have not found it to be a hindrance to removing the cap.Looks great, and feels like a quality product. I have had several people approach me and ask about it.Cons: The smooth screw lid and cap can be a little hard to remove if you have wet hands. Some texture for grip would have been nice.The Thinksport logo is rubbing off, and I've had it less than a month.Won't fit in the cup holder of most vehicles. Amazon lists the size as 3.9x10.5", while Thinksport says it's 3x10". I have large cup holders in my car, and 3" would have fit, but it is actually larger than that, although not as large as the specs here. Actual dimensions are closer to 3.7x10.25".All in all the cons are pretty minor. The Thinksport bottle has performed very well and met my expectations and needs.EDIT: After several months of heavy use this bottle is still serving me well. That flylady bottle I was using failed after it was dropped (lost its insulating properties and no longer keeps things cold). On the other hand, this Thinksport bottle has survived multiple hard drops on to asphalt and tile floors. My poor Thinksport is looking quite abused with all its dings and dents, but it still works great!
