Ozark Trail 25 oz Stainless Steel Insulated Chug Bottle, Electric Blue

These "bottles" are more like "canteens" and are wonderful! I have purchased multiples for gifting, and they are a most requested present for friends and family. Cold beverages stay cold and hot stay hot. They hold 25 ounces of beverage and are great for hiking and camping. The interior is stainless steel that cleans well and does not absorb odors or taste. I only have 2 wishes. I wish there were more color options, and I wish there was an optional shoulder strap that could be attached for hiking.

This is an amazing water bottle to use around the house or at work. The carrying handle is really good and sturdy. I was hesitant when first looking at it, but now I can say, after using it for several weeks, that it holds up well to daily use. It is large enough to hold my coffee for the morning or for a nice cold soda. The convenience of it really cannot be stated enough. It keeps my drinks cold or hot drinks waaay longer than it needs to, considering its relatively smaller size. I have had no issues with hot soups, coffee, soda, water, etc. Cleaning it is really easy, there are very few crevices that need special attention, and the lid is actually wide-mouth-ish, and I can just get part of my hand inside with a sponge to clean ( yhsmv ). But a small-handled sponge would make things easier. I was looking for a daily-use water bottle with a decent lid. Many of these products claim to have leak-proof lids. Or have these plastic lids that let plenty of air through and do not keep things cold or hot for long. The one I did have was large and more for traveling. I wanted one that would keep my drinks hot or cold and actually be sealed at the top. This is where I have the ONE nitpicky thing that I wish they would improve on. The screw top lid does not have enough threads, so occasionally, with a soda, or if I decide to hold it upside down for a while, a little dribble of liquid may come out. But it is a really small amount and has not really been an issue at all. I can get rid of the liquid with my fingertips. But honestly, I have zero other issues and only more praise to harp on this simple but effective product. Well done Ozark Trail! I will have to check out your other products now.
