I bought this water bottle two weeks ago and I couldnt be happier. The size is perfect and it does keep liquids cold for much longer than other bottles Ive tried. I usually put water in it the night before, place it in the freezer and the next morning its nice and chilled and the bottle doesnt sweat, just as a previous reviewer said. I have not had any weird tastes and Im using this bottle all day, every day. I take it to the gym with me and it fits perfectly into the cage of the spinning bikes at my gym. Then I take it to work with me, fill it up again with water from the cooler (without ice) and it keeps the water cold for at least one hour. When I get home I wash it, and repeat the process for the next day. Anyone who likes to drink cold, fresh water all day and doesnt want to waste paper or plastic cups should get this bottle.

Im sorry, but I cant let this great water bottle sit out there with a one-star review. My family of four has used these bottles for years, with excellent results. We fill them with ice and water and they stay cold a long time, with little or no sweating. We have never noticed a plastic taste, but then, we washed them before use. It may not fit in a bottle cage, but its great for walking, in the car, in your pack, on a plane... Highly recommended.

This bottle leaches the chemicals from which it is made into the contents of the bottle. By the time I finish a two hour bicycle ride, any water that I might still have in the bottle smells more like a superfund cleanup site than an opportunity for refreshment.
I lost the lid just today on a ride, and was actually relieved because now I dont have to choose between the toxic taste that this bottle created and wasting the money on a bottle I have only had for a few weeks.
As far as the thermal aspect of this product, it added a bit to the length of time my water was kept cold (I start with filtered/refrigerated water). Dont by any means expect a thermos here.
Also, it never really fit properly into my water bottle cage on
my bicycle. Whether this is a bottle unusually stout, or a cage unusually narrow I cannot say, but I always had to press a bit to make it fit.
Bottom line: Does it really matter how cold your water is, if it is all the while absorbing a nasty chemical taste (IE: molecules) from the plastic which holds it?
Every time I took a drink out of this thing, for some reason I kept thinking about Chinese toys.
