ZULU Goals Large Water Bottle Jug with Time Marker & Handle for All Day Hydration | Silicone Soft Straw with Locking Leak-Proof Lid | For Gym, Camping, Workout, and Outdoors | BPA-Free | 64oz, 128oz

I got the purple 64 oz bottle. So far this has been a great water jug for the price. The textured handle is nice so it’s harder to slip out of my hand. I prefer straws so a built in one is perfect for me. The locking cap is a nice feature and I’ve yet to experience any leaking. The rubber seal did pop out on the 2nd day of using it, but it went back into place and hasn’t been a problem since. I’ve been drinking more water now since it’s been a convenient reminder to hydrate within reach.It’s a great water bottle for the price, very durable so far, and has been very easy to clean.

Very sturdy bottles. Helps my daughter to meet her daily quota of water and stay hydrated. They have good colors and materials is of excellent quality. Very happy with my purchase. Will definitely buy again

Best water jug I have found! No spills and easy to clean. Large, durable, works great.

Zulu products overall are a little more smart in design than most other water bottles I’ve found over the years—their openings are wider for better flow, the designs are better thought out, and cleaning them is far superior to more complex bottles.The Goals half-gallon is pretty decent for all-day indoor use, if a bit obnoxious in size for an office desk environment—but that just means less trips to the water cooler and bosses like that. It has a printed readout suggestion to show your hourly consumption rate, a nice comfortable silicone/rubber-like grip inside the handle to get your hand through, and the nozzle while flat regulates a nice smooth flow to pour or drink from. The larger handle is also on the side from the designed nozzle’s horizontal flow, making turning it over to pour into a glass or one’s mouth quite convenient, as it works for left and right handed individuals simply by placing the cap on 90 degrees opposite of the preferred hand and rotating 180 (if you get it wrong, just try it the opposite way and you’ll get it).It also has a reliable lock to prevent accidental pressings of the snap cover lid Zulu has perfected with other bottles (it also makes a satisfying soft pop when you press the cap release and it taps the lid handle).Cleaning is a snap as you can fit an average hand inside the lid to clean out messier or sticky drinks, and the handle is closed off to allow a more solid build when picking up the bottle—it won’t collapse over time like other with hollow handles).You’ll remember the mention of “indoor” bottle—that’s because this isn’t an insulated bottle and condensation in a warm environment (say an average summer’s day) will make the bottle sweat madly and melt any ice fairly easily from sun rays as the jugs are transparent.There is a sturdy handle on the side of the lid that you would think would be able to support the weight of a full bottle—unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the case. Twice the tightly closed lid popped off when full, sending it crashing to the floor and spilling its contents (fortunately it was only water, but a quarter gallon or more flowed out before recovery).This handle should only be used when dealing with transporting volumes of half or less, but one mishap is enough to rely solely on the inlaid grip for transport (think gallons of milk).It lacks any sort of grip on the bottom of the base, but for carpets or desktops this shouldn’t be an issue.For those needing larger amounts of liquids or just want to save time from getting up a couple times, the Zulu Goals is still a solid choice, but would be best for those indoor users and can lift with the larger handle reliably. Overall, a solid product, but definitely needs improvement with the lid’s reliability to be picked up when full.

I really love this water bottle. It is very well made. I like that it has a lock to keep the lid secure. Just push the button and the spout is open. Very good product. The price was excellent.

This bottle is really great. It is thoughtfully designed so the top can go on so it is on the correct side for left or right handers. The lid has a piece that covers the mouthpiece that even locks so it won't open accidentally. I also like that it has a handle on the lid and the side of the bottle.

I live this bottle. 1/2 a gallon seemed to work for me. It has helped me by the hour on drinking water. It has also lasted me years already!

Overall, I love this jug. Compared to some other large jugs, this is by far the best. I love the locking spout guard and it's spring action. So far, I have had zero leakage when the guard is in place. The wide mouth opening when the top is off is great as well. I do use ice, so this makes filling it with ice a simple task. The straw is slightly larger than most jugs I have had and it's length actually goes all the way to the bottom for those last desperate sips. Solid build and nicely designed rubber-htipped handle - it doesn't protrude out so much like other brands/styles which keeps the overall design cylindrical and streamlined. No broken handles will be had here, from even a 10ft drop. The spout itself is a nice rubbery texture and not some hard plastic that will break down and potentially be injested (another brand I've had in the past had a plastic spout which broke down after awhile and chipped... Thus causing me to swallow plastic chunks). So kuddos to the R&D team on this safe and effective spout.While I like the wide mouth opening, I am flummoxed as to why they only chose two threads instead of three to hold the lid on. As other reviewers have posted, under certain weight of liquid or pulling of the lid by the top handle, it will come off. This presents a spill danger - leak-proof design, yes, spill proof, no. One other minor annoyance is where the straw usually ends up (without ice in the chamber). When using the jug with the handle on the right side and the spout facing front in the drinking position, the straw ends up being blocked on the flat-surfaced sidewall in such a way as to prevent any liquid from being sucked up when down to about 8oz or less. One has to unscrew, slightly bend straw, carefully screw back on, try again a few times, in order to make sure the straw ends up near "6 oclock" so when it angles for the last sips, it sits where the liquid is gathered. Drinking the last sips at a 90° angle is quite awkward, especially laying down in bed.Overall - love this mug! Would like to see some accessories become available, like a neoprene boot or an insulating jacket for the condensation (I like iced drinks, okay?). I just wrap a towel around it for now, when I need to set it in my belly or wood furniture. 🙂 For the price, this jug is great, though!
