cool bottle, black adds a nice touch, the lid locks down tight and seals in the water but makes an annoying squeaking noise everytime you screw it down. since the cap goes down into the bottle, water will come out of you have the bottle filled up too much. theres no insulating value what so ever, they reccomend not putting hot liquids in it and i know why, the firt time i filled it with cold water; the whole bottle turned freezing cold to the the touch in an instant, so i dont even want to think of the burns id get from hot water...overall a nice bottle

Actually it's not insulation properties recude the weight in a stainless canteen.... and if you were savy in the woods... You'd realize You can boil water in them (just tie some line to the Rim of the bottle) then the cap can be put on... it WONT melt nore will the O-Ring... you then hang them in the stream you just got your water from, and in a matter of a few minutes the entire canteen and the previously boiled water are as cold as the steam... Pack up your gear and keep hiking...
