Think of it more as a water cooler than a water bottle

Pros: This container does an amazing job of keeping beverages cool for a LONG time. Amazing in that regard. Cons: The plastic strap connecting the lid to the bottle lasted all of 1 day before breaking. Unlike most every other water bottle you have ever had you can not carry this using that loop - not more than twice... That then leads to the other reality that makes me say this is more of a container than a bottle. It is large and unwieldy without any handles of any kind and not light when you add 64 ounces of water. So if you were looking for a device to keep your beverages cold for a long time and you don't mind pouring the beverages out into something you can easily drink from this will work for you. If you are thinking of buying a 64 oz. Water Bottle to take to the gym, I would say you should look elsewhere.
