not good

Not a good vacuum bottle. First, the cap is horribly constructed, the entire thing is metal, and the cap is completely plastic with a piece of metal over the top of the cap (which unscrews to reveal a small compartment). In my opinion, the compartment in the cap isn't worth it. HUGE amounts of heat are lost through the top. The most I've had anything stay warm was about 3 hours, this was in an insulated backpack wrapped inside of a primaloft jacket. Other than that my beverages always come out luke warm at best. The worst part is that after only maybe 10 uses the cap has started to leak and the backcountry logo has started to peel off in little chunks, it looks horrible. While I love the size, a friend has a black diamond 17 oz vacuum bottle that has a much better lid and keeps liquid hot for up to 10 hours, and after that they're "just" luke warm. Overall not a quality product and a waste of money.
