I love how they fit in my car drink holder and they stay cold throughout the day even if you leave them in the car on hot summer days. My boys take them to the gym and to work. We have our own colors so we don't get them mixed up. I get us all new ones every year cause you can't beat the price and we stick with the same colors. will definitely buy again

Zulu is my forever Go Tu

This is no better Value out there. I'd take this over a Stanley any day. Stays cold, locks, doesn't leak. Love I can just toss it in my bag.

Don’t buy for the germ guard!

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:(

Mold

Great fliptop lids, keeps liquids hot or cold. Downside, mold on lid gasket, can't scrape it off or clean it off with anything. You also can't buy replacement parts, like the bottle gasket or the removable drink spout. You can verify this on their website, mold, since it won't let me upload a pic

Insulated? I don't think so.

Ice melted very quickly. I have other water bottles which hold ice for hours. In this pair, the ice did not last long at all. Pretty disappointed. I gave this product 2 stars because the bottles had good caps on them which stayed closed and were easy to use.

Best Bottle That Won't Last

I'm on my third set of these. Its hard to find metal waterbottles that fit in a car's cupholder. This does. I wish it was a little bigger, 32oz would be ideal. But it's ok. My gripe with this bottle is there's a little rubber band under the lid that heps it open and close. This is my 3rd set within 2 years. the rubber bands all have broken about the 2 month mark. That's 6 bottles! They need a better system.

Do not buy!!!

Poor design, hinge fails due to O ring design. We ordered a second lid for each of our bottles and those have now failed. We attempted repairing but the hinge pin appears to be pressed in and is hard to remove, we were unable to repair.

Rubber spring hinge will break

Yep, like many reviewers, the small rubber o-ring that acts as the spring hinge eventually breaks. Happened to both of our bottles.

Wash your bottles first!!

After washing my bottle out several times there’s white debris in the rinse water. The more I rinsed the more the white debris came out. It looked like paper
