Pros: -Save the earth by not using plastic bottles all the time -Doesn't retain stinkiness -Classy -Affordable -Ethically made product! Cons: -18oz isn't really enough water for me. I suck it down too fast. -Sporty cap isn't my favorite- not 100% watertight.

I bought this bottle over ago and I have to say that I don't really use it much. While I love the design and the look and the quality of the construction there are a couple of major drawbacks. First, since it is made of steel and NOT insulated at all, putting cold water in the bottle makes the bottle itself really cold. Usually not a problem but when it's hot and/or humid outside, the bottle "sweats" profusely. So I can't just keep it inside my bag since it gets all the contents of my bag wet. The other problem is that it makes a terrible squeaking noise when you sip from it. This is caused by the air coming into the bottle through the small air "valve" on top. It's not a problem really since the bottle works fine. It's more of a small nuisance more than anything else. But when you take a sip in a quiet area, you will draw attention to yourself. I originally bought this bottle because I was looking to replace all my BPA-infused plastic bottles that I had been using over the years. But now that most bottle manufacturers make BPA-free bottles, I've gone back to plastic.
