Coldest Sports Water Bottle - 1.8l (Loop Lid) Leak Proof - Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel - Double Walled - Thermo Mug - Metal Canteen

Bought July of 2018So I waited a year to review this becauseA- I wanted to see how it would hold it's durability over a year with my life style. AndB- I was amazed how cold this actually keeps drinks and got me wondering if it would stay that way.Short review - does what's advertised, great build quality, nice to have different options on accessories. You like cold drinks buy this.Small complaint is they only have certain colors and certain times, would be nice to pick from any of their colors when you order. Don't know why but small gripe.First this bottle is amazing. I'm one who likes to keep ice cold water by me at all times. And this does the job!So what started my waiting to review the bottle, was one day in August 100° + weather outside, I left this bottle in my truck on the passenger seat (in direct sunlight) and forgot about until lunch. I come back into the truck and this bottle is hot to the touch. But still, ice cold water in there.So then I thought, well let's test out how long this keeps it cold. Filled it to the top with ice, then water and just left it sitting in my house. By the time 3 days came around I checked and there was little to no ice, but it stayed colder than room temperature.I fill this up ever night with a whole tray of ice before bed. I drink it through out the night, refill the water in the morning and through out the day and it usually has some ice left in it by night time. My family loves it.I ending up having to buy my girlfriend one (32oz), which we lost on a trip, so I purchased another one recently to replace it. It's that good!Wear and tear, it's surprisingly durable. My kids drag and drop it, I use it work (construction) it rolls around all over my car because I don't have a place to put it, but you'd never know it was taking the beating it has.Easy to clean and wash. No rust or anything.So the lids I feel are definitely gonna be a preference. Lucky they're inexpensive so I'd suggest buying the sports top as well just to try them both.Regular screw on handle lid keeps it real right and leak proof, but when your drinking the last bit of water sometimes the ice comes crashing down and splashes water all over you.The sports top is easy, and more convenient (especially for children) but I have 2 complaints, I feel like it doesn't keep the water cold as long as the screw on type (not bad but to seemed ice was melting slightly faster...just a bit) and the thing squeaks, they tell you how to fix it (poke the black thingy with a pen or something) but when I did it didn't help. So I poked a little harder and the thing fell out. So now if the bottle is on its side, it leaks out the hole. We have a second lid, so problem solved, but it was just unfortunate. The sports top also comes with straws and cleaners for them. My girlfriend uses it she likes it, I prefer no straw and just tipping the bottle in the air. Ether way it works.Over all I was very happy. Enough to buy 2 more later on and I just recently bought there Coldest Pillow so I'll see how that turns out.It does what it's advertised, holds up well and they're really at a reasonable price for the quality that goes into it.One more thing I tested it just one day with ice and Dr. Pepper. It kept it cold and carbonated most of the day. I had the big handle cap on. Only did it once, but it did hold the carbonation.The pictures I put were to show how little damage this bottle has received over a whole year of abuse/washing. Honestly this thing is durable.

To start, I did a LOT of research, read and watched a ton of reviews. I chose Coldest because I was looking for a gallon bottle and they are one of a few companies that makes them, and makes them well.The reviews were good, great in fact. Coldest beat Hydro and Yeti in every review I watched except one...I watched a review a few days ago, that was filmed three months ago. In this review, the usual "top brands" were reviewed (two of which are mentioned above.) Coldest defeated all except one.This particular bottle was one I had never heard of before watching the review. After the review I looked up Zojirushi, It's a VERY nice looking bottle, obviously well constructed if it beat all the well known expensive brands including Coldest, Hydro, and Yeti. After seeing the review I thought I will try it, (over all others). The problem, the largest size of Zojirushi is only 16 oz.So coldest it is (since it beat all the others except Zojirushi). With that said, I purchased the 64oz in blue; along with the carrier, straw lid, and 3 piece brush set.OUT OF THE BOX... It's sturdy without being too heavy. I like the color and I put it in the bathtub it floats as advertised.HOWEVER, I put my hand around the neck of the bottle to give it a good scrub and my fingers got caught. It's so raised just below the trends it felt/feels almost like it will cut your finger but stops just shy. I know it's there and will avoid it but I am concerned about it separating over time.THE BRUSH: the bristles are bent and on one side only. I think I will return it for a brush with bristles all the way around, and without bent bristles.STRAW LID: The finger grip/loop is HARD and uncomfortable if you don't have a carrier (fagetaboutit lol) Two fingers holding a 64oz bottle will be a problem. My brother big guy big hands can only get one finger in the loop. Also, I don't like it Aesthetically it looks like an afterthought though according to the site a lot of thought went into the design.CARRIER: It has a very strong chemical smell. (Which I am pretty sure will go away with a mild soap, handwashing). It fits well, sturdy, but the zippers feel cheap and they keep getting stuck. It's made a lot like my Wild Wolf outfitters carrier except the zippers. It has a lifetime guarantee so what the heck.RUBBER ring: I don't see a purpose for it. So I, therefore, wonder why they bothered. I feel like it's there so you will have to buy another one. The one on the bottle will, without doubt, stretch and get yucky eventually.LASTLY, I HOPE THEY CONSIDER A LOGO CHANGE. COLDEST LARGE DOWN THE CENTER IS VERY UNATTRACTIVE AND ALMOST EXCLUDES the fact that COLDEST is just as good at maintaining hot beverages.When looking for contact information I noticed a half-gallon extra large-mouth but it only comes in black and I don't see a carrier that would fit it as it looks shorter. I will be contacting the coldest team about the rim, and I will be testing my bottle for performance and will update this review once all tests and customer service contact is completed.

I'll admit, I was completely skeptical about this and not exactly willing to drop so much money on a water bottle. However, in my quest to find the perfect water bottle, I gave it a shot and I am so happy that I did. This water bottle is everything it claims to be. I basically drink only water all day, every day, with a 1 gallon per day goal. I've gone through my share of 32oz, 64,oz, and gallon sized bottles and something was always wrong with them; it didn't have a straw, the straw floated around and was hard to grab during a workout, it was too bulky, there wasn't an easy way to carry it, it's difficult to clean, especially the straw, and my biggest complaint, they never stay cold. I'm the type of person that has to drink cold water. I can't stand room temperature, so that's what ultimately drew me in with this product. The day I got it, I tested how long the ice would keep in the bottle. The first picture of ice was taken at 6pm the day I purchased it. The second picture was taken the next day at noon and I was amazed to see that there were still ice cubes in it! I recently took it with me for a three day weekend, where I didn't have access to ice, and it held ice from Thursday night through Saturday night. I am extremely impressed with this bottle. I also did purchase the additional lid with the straws. It did make a whistling noise like others have mentioned in their reviews, but it has seemed to disappear since I put the straw in.Pros:1. Holds ice for 2-3 days2. Keeps water super cold3. Easy to clean with a brush and the straws/additional lid actually came with a brush to clean inside the straw.4. Easy enough to carry by the handle. I like the little carabiner that5. The Sailor Blue color is very appealing6. Easily accessible during a workout (i.e. running on the treadmill, it's easy to flip the lid and drink)7. The bottle never sweats and my desk no longer has a puddle on it from my water bottleCons:If anything, the bottle becomes heavy when you fill it with ice and then water as recommended by the instructions that come with it. The bottle makes a whistling noise without the straw in the additional lid. Also, the paint has a tiny little chip in it from me whacking the bottle off of god knows what. Otherwise, I don't really have any complaints about this bottle. Great buy!!

I bought the smaller version over a year ago and was constantly finishing off my bottle. I decided to invest in the bigger bottle and could not be happier x

This is by far the best water bottle I have ever purchased does not leak very easy to carry accessories fit really well all I have to really say is you really get your moneys worth if you purchase this product hands-down I have recommended this to seven other friends of mine and they all say the same thing it’s the best money I ever spent I would definitely tell you to buy this product without a doubt I have no problem promoting this product for it is the best I’ve ever purchased For example I put ice and water in it on Monday and do not finish it on Wednesday there’s still ice and water inside of the water bottle nothing beats this product the person that design and build this product is a genius I will continue to buy this product over and over again especially for Christmas coming up for family members I even bought a carrying case with the straps to carry over your shoulders and it’s even beautifully built and fits very well take it from me you will love this product and no I do not work for them and was not paid for this comments 😂
