Futurepace Tech BEST STAINLESS STEEL INSULATED VACUUM SPORTS WATER BOTTLE - Large SILVER 25oz / 750ml - BPA FREE HYDRATE ON THE GO BOX for Office, Gym, Running, Cycling, Hiking Camps

We holiday in a small convertible car touring around southern Europe. Last year we took a couple of insulated flasks so we had ready access to some cooling water. They proved useful but too small, especially when stuck for hours in traffic at international borders. For this year we wanted something bigger which resulted in buying this.First impression is very positive. It seems well made and a couple of quick tests showed that neither cap leaked and the neck was wide enough to just drink out of it like a normal cup. It also fits our car's cup holders almost exactly so does not rattle (a Mazda MX5). Worth checking cup holder diameter if this use is wanted as it would have been much too big for our last car. (a BMW Z3). When we have toured by motorcycle we have carried hydration backpacks with large opening so we could fill them with ice in the morning giving us a steady supply of cold water all day. The neck on this is big enough to fill with ice cubes as well.Capacity looks great for a days travel but it is of course quite heavy when full. Not a problem in the car but I think it will be used part empty for sightseeing. Not sure about the reviewer who concluded that it was useless as the "keyring" could not be fitted to the demand valve top. About the first thing I did was remove the keyring as a pointless accessory. If I did want to carry this on a belt for example a normal sized carabiner round my belt and through the big hole in the lid would seem an obvious solution.This will not get a proper test until summer but I was happy enough to immediately order another for my wife.I purchased this at full price and have not been asked to review it by the supplier. I like reviews as they often help me to make buying decisions. If this helps you please tick the plus as its nice to know I am not typing for nothing.

Come on guys? 4 hours till my first trip using your bottle and the travel lid broke while I was closing it? I did not even put much pressure on it. This is really unfair, £16 for a bottle with a cheap plastic lid. I am posting the pictures on the product review for proof.The problem is with how the plastic travel lid is designed; It is extremely weak. Not the thing I would trust while hiking.---Update: The seller had sent me a replacement for the lid. I am updating my review to be less biased:I had this bottle for a while but I have started using it for about a week. The bottle itself is great & sturdy. It keeps cold water cold, hot water hot. However, on the other hand, the plastic lids quality can be greatly improved as noted with my previous experience.

Have had this water bottle/thermos for about a month now and, so far so good. Bought it mostly for drinking water from but have found it useful for morning coffee at work as I'm always returning to cold coffee.No leaks, nothing seems to be tainted in terms of taste. And it looks cool in the brushed steel!I do have a couple of criticisms, both minor and one being of my own naivety.Firstly, after a month the printing seems to be coming off. Whilst I wasn't fussed about the printing stylistically when it arrived, now it just looks messy and smudged. Maybe something for Futurepace to look into in the .. future... For now I'll look forward to when it's totally off. It doesn't detract from the otherwise sharp look of brushed steel so doesn't bother me a great deal.Secondly, as I have already mentioned, is my own naivety. This being my first thermos, you really do need to check how hot your drink is before making. My morning coffee, if not paying attention, ends up remaining hotter than the sun for a good few hours. All whilst I crave for my wake-up hit of caffeine. I've learnt to switch the kettle off early now to avoid this and my coffee still lasts past lunch time (I make enough for two cups, can easily fit 3 in it if I needed). In either scenario (scalding hot or ice cold) you'll never guess the temperature of the liquid inside till it reaches your mouth as the outside remains room temp.All in all, money well spent on a stylish and practical product that I'd happily take anywhere I need liquid refreshment. A great product I had little idea I'd use so much!

Excellent Gym Sports Drink flask,and cap.Good capacity at 750 mls keeps chilled drinks cold throughout your Work Out.(fits the holders on GymExercise Machines fine.) The Gym use cap is long lasting,and replacements can be obtained on Amazon.The steel body should last indefinitely if looked after properly, and over time will be more cost effective than having lots of disposable short lived cheap plastic Gym bottles.Keeps coffee hot for several hours using the standard cap.Looks good in the steel finish,and is very easily cleaned.The price is not cheap,but is competitively priced for such a good quality "double skin "flask with the two caps provided.Also good for Hill Walking with quick access if suspended from a strap on your ruck sac.A useful attractive and versatile drinks flask made in top quality non reactive stainless steel.Speedy delivery,and well packaged.

At last, a stainless steel insulated drinks bottle you can clean inside and which offers either a sports top for use at the gym, or a more substantial stopper for expedition work. I've used their original version on expedition in the Himalayas at - 20C and it kept my water drinkable overnight as well as during the day. Now I can finally recycle all my plastic sports bottles!One of the things I like about the sports lid is that you can either suck water out or shake it out, so it's as functional as my old plastic sports bottle if you just want to get some water out to wet a towel or something.
