34 OZ Uninsulated Single Walled Stainless Steel Sports Water Bottle 18/8 Food Grade for Cyclists, Runners, Hikers, Beach Goers, Picnics, Camping - BPA Free

Concerning the 'TRIPLE TREE 34 OZ Uninsulated Single Walled Stainless Steel Sports Water Bottle 18/8 Food Grade', only, the item I received is exactly as advertised, but that it doesn't weigh 8.5 oz, rather being 6.97 oz, or 7.18 oz with the included carabiner. The Amazon spec's say it's '18/8 Food Grade stainless steel', yet etched on the outside, under the TRIPLE TREE brand name, it says '304 stainless steel'. For what it's worth, I have no idea if they are the same thing by a different name or not, but just to say, it's described by two different names, in case that matters to someone. The carabiner is a freebie, and as such, it's clearly not stainless steel, but perhaps aluminum or something similar,. It is solid tho, with the spring snap lock sufficiently stiff so as to avoid most accidental releases, but easy enough to move intentionally. It's surprisingly good quality, and for a throw-in, a nice touch. Also a nice, is that the 'C' wire handle that the carabiner clips to, is of course SSteel and swivels left to right, yet requires enough force applied to do so, that it won't move on it's own, keeping any rattling at bay. Sweet, and totally unexpected. The cover screws on smoothly and tight, with a removable silicone gasket sealing the deal waterproof, and as well, a spare one in the kit. Apparently, the insulated version of this is only $1 more, and if all is equal to what I've got quality-wise, I would be very happy. Also, at 34 oz, it holds 1 liter, being 2 oz over a quart, also being very convenient. For as light as it is, it is solid and would take quite a hit to put a dent in it.

Simple and functional. I am using these to get away from bottled water in plastic bottles. After tons of research, single layer stainless is the best option. These bottles are inexpensive and work great. I wish the mouth was a bit smaller but that's my only gripe. Can the threads cross a touch and bind up on rare occasion? yeah but it'll still unscrew with a little effort and no damage done. Can the cap get a little water in it from where the handle enters? yeah maybe, if you soak them under water. The bottles are sturdy, don't leak (unless you have the cap loose), and function just fine. I bought 5 and will be buying more. I have used all 5 multiple times a day. If only they were usa made, but that's a story for another day. Solid product, get you equally solid water purification and you are sorted.

I love this bottle! it's a great size yet not too heavy even when full of ice and water. Keeps water and ice cold for a very long time maybe longer than they say lol and I have never had it leak like another review stated and I've used it daily for a month or longer. I have accidentally dropped it once on concrete and a couple other small ones but it barely dented on the concrete and still works great! Which I bought another one from a brand name that lost its insulation after a drop. So I'm very happy with this purchase and it's a great price as well!

Good all around nearly total stainless water container. However, I don't think the vacuum seal is there. These usually have a glue on button covering the bottom, as this does, but I think there may be a vacuum leak there. It doesn't really maintain tap cold or ice cold when I put ice in it. I have a stainless vacuum mug bought here on Amazon, with a plastic lid and a seal at the bottom that really does a good job of maintaining temps even in a car parked in the sun. This doesn't, but for the price, it is a decent nearly 100% (silicone gasket, and a spare, that's nice) stainless water jug for my short hikes.

As promised, my new water bottle arrived on time, wrapped in plastic and packed inside a professional brand name cardboard container. I took it along on a hike today, and it perfectly meets my needs, providing 34 fluid ounces of clean, fresh water from a 304 stainless steel bottle. An extra gasket was provided with the bottle. For the price, or really for any price, this appears to be a very functional, professionally built product.
