Thermos 2465SSB6 Hydration Bottle, 18 Ounce, Slate Blue

My all-time favorite water bottle
I hope they never stop making these. I am leaving the review in part to convince other people to keep buying them so that they stay in production.I’ve been through dozens of water bottles over the years. They break, they leak, they get lost, they get dirty…so they’re a semi-disposable item. Because of that, I hate to spend too much on them. This one is definitely at the very top end of what I would pay, but I love these bottles so much that it’s worth it to me. I have yet to wear one of these out after using them for years, but I have lost a few and I’m always sad about it because of the cost. Still, every time I try to go back to a cheaper water bottle, I come back around and buy another one of these instead.What’s so great? It’s the total package. Except for the top, they’re double-walled steel, not plastic, so they are well-insulated. Your water stays cold longer and they don’t sweat. The rubber grip is actually useful, so you don’t feel like you’re going to drop it. The size is perfect, holds enough water for a day’s outings (around town, not a day of hiking) but not so much that it is overly heavy or bulky. The physical dimensions are a bit narrower than many other bottles, so it fits in almost every cupholder and backpack water bottle holder I’ve tried. It doesn’t leak, ever. You can drink from it one-handed, and close it back up easily, which is a major priority to me.And these things are durable! I tried using it in a bike water bottle cage and it flew out when I hit a big bump (side note – it works better with some bottle cages than others, but it’s not really meant for that application so this is just a bonus). The bottle was slightly dented but otherwise intact, and I kept right on using it with no issues. I’m on my 4th bottle, and I’ve never had one break or start to leak before I lost it.There are a couple of minor quibbles, but the totality of the bottle is so good that I overlook them. First, if you like to fill your bottle with ice, the opening will permit smaller cubes like you get from an icemaker but not the big cubes from a freezer tray, and you have to put them in somewhat slowly. But then again, it’s insulated so well that you really don’t need much, if any, ice. Second, there’s no loop or other way to attach a carabiner or carry it with one finger. But that’s a small price to pay for a bottle this good.

Well insulated, keeps drinks cold, and seals are replaceable
This is the second one of these bottles I have bought. The first one, with gray accents, I bought several years ago. It has served me well. But last year I was traveling, and the bottle and lid were washed (top rack) in a dishwasher that must have used much hotter water than mine at home. Because later on, down the road, I found the O-ring in the lid (shown by the arrow in the picture) was missing. I assume it stretched in the hot dishwasher and slipped out.So when I got home I ordered this bottle to replace my trusty old one. Then I decided to see if replacement seals were available. I went to the Thermos website, and sent an email to their customer service department, asking about it. I was able to give them the model number (2465TRI6), and at the price of a buck per set plus shipping, they sent me a three piece seal replacement set, also pictured. Because of the shipping cost I ordered a few sets just to have some backups on hand for the future.The new parts fit perfectly and my old bottle is back in service. But I decided to keep this bottle as well, and the replacement seal set will work for it if ever needed. I think Thermos calls this a “2465 Thermal Hydration Bottle,” according to the item details on this product page. This bottle has been as effective and reliable as the original gray one.

Wow! Bought a few!
Woo hoo! Highly recommend! My favorite drink container. In fact, I bought two more to give as gifts.I like it because it’s easy to carry for car or outdoor activities. There is a plastic cover over the mouthpiece section so that the part that touches your mouth stays clean. When you twist off the mouthpiece section, you can easily add ice. Drinks stay extremely cold for many hours. This is my favorite portable drink container.o
