Me and my wife are ditching the plastic water bottles. Thus, by doing some research we have elected to try Takeya. First it keeps our good tap water delicious and cold and refreshing! We like the design with the perfect size loop handle, the way the loop stands upright and the easy spin off drink lid. The rubber bottom is a must and it has it. As well, we liked the design bringing the inner chrome container outward in forming a polished band at the large opening, provides function; as well, a classy look. Keep the colors up. Black and grey may be the trend, but more pastel colors are more pleasing and fun to some.

Purchased the 24oz Actives insulated bottle with Spout lid in Cobalt blue on June 1st, 2021 and have used it virtually every day since. I use it throughout my entire daily routine, whether I'm exercising, working at my desk, running errands, or just chilling out, the bottle works great for all of these scenarios.

The spill-proof screw-on lid works perfectly. I've thrown it into a hiking backpack with a bunch of other items, placed it horizontally on seats in the car, and even dropped it a couple times, and it hasn't leaked once.

The insulation also works very well. Left it in the car several times during the hot summer months for a few hours and the water stayed cool (I don't typically use ice cubes). Also used it at the beach where it was in direct sunlight and the water stayed cool as well.

Really like the silicone sleeve on the bottom as it not only protects both the bottle and whatever surface you're putting it on, but also keeps it quiet when placing the bottle onto surfaces instead of making a bonging metallic noise like it would without the sleeve.

The handle is very useful and find it to be sturdy enough for normal use.

Measured the outer diameter using a digital caliper.

- With the silicone sleeve, the diameter is 3 5/32" (~80.2mm)

- Without the silicone sleeve (just the bare bottle), the diameter is 3 1/32" (~80mm)

With the silicone sleeve, the bottle usually does not fit all the way down into most automobile cup holders, but does manage to fit in enough to keep it secure. Without the sleeve, it fits down further and more securely.

The lid has two gaskets that keep this bottle water-tight; one for the main cap and one for the screw-on style spout cap. These gaskets (especially the spout cap one) must be removed and cleaned frequently, or an unpleasant odor will start to be noticed. The gaskets are a little tricky to remove, especially when wet, but isn't that hard.

Overall, this bottle is fantastic and would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a spill-proof insulated bottle.

Maybe I just have tough luck but I have lost my 32oz bumper not once, but twice! Not long after I replaced my original, the new one also slipped off and I was never able to find it (after a flight). Not sure why but I've found them to slip off easily/often. Just a shame because it's definitely useful to have! :(

I was able to get the buy one get one free deal on the 40 oz bottles, I got a black one and a Stainless Steel one. They both keep my water cold all day! I use one for home and one for work. I put ice in the bottle (I like cold water) and fill it up in the morning, I’ll refill it periodically during the day and still have the ice that I put in from the morning! Amazing! The top works great too and I’m drinking more water. Another thing that I like is that my ice doesn’t make a lot of noise while it’s in the bottle. There are some stainless steel water bottles that when there is ice inside it’s sounds like you have a cow bell and everyone can hear you coming or going. I can drink from this while I’m on a conference call or on a Zoom meeting and it isn’t distracting other than my bottle looks great! Wonderful product!
