I ordered 2 sets of the Zulu 26oz stainless Insulated Water Bottles 2-packs. Being these water bottles were bought to be used in the parks all day the main sales pitch was the “New Germ Guardian” feature on the drinking surface…But I didn't receive the new update bottles with the germ guardian, I instead received what I believe to be the older version of the bottles. Customer service sent me replacements for both sets trying to receive the actual products that I believed I was purchasing in the first place with the germ guardian but the new replacements are the same older version bottles without it again! So even though I'm disappointed because of the lack of actually getting what I've ordered and the false advertising, the water bottles do hold ice for the stated 24hrs and they are very good quality, just not as updated as the updated ones! It would have been great if what was advertised was what I got -just feels like a bait and switch to push out the older inventory:(

It's a nice bottle at a good price, but the hinge WILL fail, it's just a matter of time. Well, not the whole hinge, but the o ring that pops the hinge open will fail. It can be replaced by you (Zulu is NO help), but over time the metal pin will degrade the plastic, I'm sure.

I do like these bottles. The size is great and the handle is easy to use to carry. The only issue is sometimes the button to push to flip the lid open gets stuck and/or hard to press. I drink a lot of water so this bigger size is ideal for me. However, if that isn’t you, you might want to consider something smaller. Once full of water and ice it can be heavy. That isn’t a problem for me but something to consider. I would recommend.

I appreciate that it keeps my cold water cold aaaaaaall day, & it fits easily in my cars cup holder, & it’s an easily accessible sip of water while I’m driving. It’s really my first water bottle purchase, so I’ve nothing to compare it to, but so far, so good.

Unfortunately these ended up leaking right around the mouth piece, even when locked. And they do get dinged up pretty easily. On the plus side they do keep water cold and ice for about 8 hrs. my high school and junior high kids have been taking them to school for 2 wks now.

I've purchased a total of 4 of these since the beginning of the year, one for each member of my family, because we absolutely LOVE these! HOWEVER, three of the lids have broken, the culprit being the little rubber O ring that causes the lid to flip. After less than a year, needless to say, I'm severely disappointed. LOVE the product, but can't use them anymore.

This bottle holds temperatures well as it keeps drinking water cool for many hours. The cap is really convenient with its slide bottom to change opening from drinking to wide opening for refilling. The cap also allows a carabiner to be used to carry on outside of backpack or bag. Will repurchase again if needed.

These Water bottles are the best!

Very durable, great design, and excellent coating; Use mine daily, soak and wash by hand regularly and coating doesn’t peel, scrape off, or rust!

Sturdy and so easy to clean! The silicone spout comes out if you need it too and there is no leaking.
