TAL Double Wall Insulated Stainless Steel Ranger Water Bottle 18 fl oz, Navy Blue

This is the first time I shopped for a travel mug — and I could not believe all the different types. After spending way too much time looking around (because of all the choices) I decided that the most important feature for me was how the top sealed and ease of drinking from it. I made the right choice with this TAL 18 oz. mug. It's “double wall vacuum insulated,” which is why it keeps the right temperature for hours - cold or hot drinks. I like the design of the leak-proof, lock-back lid a lot – it seems simpler than other designs I saw; for me, simpler is always a plus. The large opening makes it easy to clean, fill and add ice. And, no condensation, so it won't wet things in your bag. Pretty color choices, too.

I like this cup. It has a wide mouth and holds approximately 18 ounces. It appears to keep my coffee hot until I am done drinking it. I have not tested it for the 8 hours that it claims to keep it hot. I drink faster than that. I have small hands but the feel of the cup is fine and causes no discomfort. It is a little textured to give you a better grasp. The lid locks open or shut. This is a nice feature. I did fill it and locked the lid shut and shook it upside down. Nothing leaked out. Only the lid is dishwasher safe. That is the only downside of the cup.
