 Great alternative to plastic December 22, 2008
I bought a stainless steel water bottle after learning that both hard and soft plastic leaches into your drinking water and is bad for health. This non leaking bottle is convenient and works fine. Perfect size for sports. Unscrewing the lid every time you need to drink is a little bit of a hassle.
 Junk bottle- don't buy December 17, 2008
As others have pointed out, these bottle have a serious design flaw with the cap, and there are apparently no replacements available. Below is a letter I just sent to the company moments ago. I'll update with a response if I get one.
I purchased four of your 20 oz stainless bottles for my family and am pretty disappointed with the cap design and general durability. Three of them have the colored finish that immediately began to scratch and chip. While we can live with that, the bigger problem is what I think is a serious design flaw in matching a fine-threaded plastic cap to stainless steel. For my kids, (and despite my coaching them how to do it carefully), it was just too easy to cross-thread the cap at the first turn. In only a few days, the caps were completely stripped out. While the carabiner seems like a good idea, it mostly is just in the way and is actually too light-weight to support a full bottle of water for very long before it breaks. I used a larger climbing carabiner on mine, but then the plastic loop of the cap broke off. I've spent quite a while trying to find a source for replacement caps but have had no luck. I would not purchase these bottles again or recommended them to anyone. Any environmental benefit of purchasing these reusable bottles has been rendered ridiculous by their flaws, as now I just have a bunch of bottles with no caps and are now of no use at all.
Spend the extra money December 16, 2008
This bottle is cheaper than the price you pay for it. It is really not worth it. Within 5 uses of the bottle the threads for the cap have already stripped out and I refuse to spend 4 more dollars to buy a new one. There are much higher quality metal bottles for only a few bucks more!
Cheap. Don't purchase December 15, 2008
As others have noted, these are very cheap. One of the new ones I received had threads not molded correctly on the cap, so it won't seal. I expect the other will end up failing over time.
These are cheap pieces of garbage and would not suggest anyone purchase them.
I will also have to remind myself to read reviews prior to purchase.
 Okay but not fabulous... November 28, 2008

If you are looking for a cheap and *very* light use bottle... this one works. If you are looking for a quality workhorse bottle... this is NOT it.
The quality of the screw cap ring is bad. There aren't enough threads to really get the top on tight. It either spins or leaks slightly.
The tinted paint layer is thin and does chip/scratch pretty easy with typical use.
They are made in China if that is a concern for you.
Save your money and buy a Sigg bottle for the same kind of bottle but much higher quality. Or a Klean Kanteen. I own both and they are 10x the water bottle. I have four children under the age of 8 that used these bottles and they just don't really hold up like the Sigg or Klean Kanteen.
