StanleyFlip Straw 2.0 Sports Water Bottle With Straw 0.7L - 10 Hours Cold - 2 Days Iced - Stainless Steel - BPA Free - Leak Resistant - Fits in Cup Holder - Dishwasher Safe - Rose Quartz

This water bottle arrived simply wrapped in tissue paper.It’s a fairly big bottle and I’ve attached pictures of it in my hand and next to a standard 330ml drinks can for scale.The exterior has a tough, good quality powder coated finish and the whole lid unscrews to make filling and cleaning easy. The carrying handle is strong and can easily take the weight of the bottle when it’s full. I’ve been using the loop to clip the bottle on to my rucksack without any problems.The flip spout works well and can be unclipped from the top completely for thorough cleaning. The seal is excellent and I’ve had no leaks even when the bottle has been stored on its side for long periods.The double wall insulation works very well. I used this bottle for a few days walking in the Peaks recently and cold water that I put in in the morning was still very cold 10 hours later. I won’t be using this for hot drinks but when it arrived I filled it to the brim with boiling water to make sure it was clean and left the lid off. Four hours later the water was still very hot and there was still steam rising from it.My partner has another Stanley bottle that she’s been using on a daily basis for three years and it’s still as good as new and I’ve no reason to believe that this won’t have the same sort of durability.At £37.99 this isn’t the cheapest bottle on the market but you get what you pay for. The insulation works really well and the seal is robust and leak free. Everything about the bottle is of the usual high quality from Stanley and I have no hesitation in giving it 5 stars.

Seems Stanley have done a lot of R&D behind this bottle as I can't fault it. I must have tried well over 10+ bottles, from plastic, hard plastic, metal cased, the list goes on and when I have found a bottle that doesn't 'smell' or make the water taste a little off, the quality would have been a let down or would have leaked.So, this well made bottle by Stanley ticks all the boxes for me. For starters, it's got a very nice premium feel, little difficult to explain, but it's got a nice well polished and smooth finish as well as a pearlescent effect and not just plain white. The opening and closing has a nice confident secure fitting followed by the great quality flip-straw.Now the flip-straw is something that has become very useful for me, especially with being on the treadmill for around 2 hours at a time, trying to drink from a bottle that has a wide opening is a bit of a challenge, but from a straw-piece is far easier.Washing is a doddle, you simply can't stain this bottle as it has this non-stick sort of coating. The inside, being stainless steel is a great addition to a well designed bottle, feels solid yet lightweight.The price may be a little off putting, but let's face it, how many bottle would you have changed over a period of time versus this that will probably last you a long time with the robust build. I know for me, this will surely last me several years and the rest as I'm fairly picky on looking after my stuff at the gym.

£50.00 for a water bottle! Crazy right? Well, maybe not. Stanley have a big presence in the thermal water bottle space and it's easy to assume it's all label and no substance but that would be unfair. To start with, these bottles are made from AeroLght. I don't quite know what it's about but it basically uses recycled 18/8 stainless steel that's a third lighter than their standard offering, and you can tell when you hold it. I assumed they were just using thinner steel but squeezing the bottle reveals no flex at all so it's very sturdy. It's also dishwasher safe which is useful.The handle pivots and is removable with what looks like a simple Allen Key or bit.The straw flips up and so far hasn't leaked. It's also removable, allowing you to thoroughly clean beneath it where mould can form and where it's really hard to get a brush with a fixed nozzle.The lip of the bottle is smooth and nicely rounded to allow comfortable swigs straight from the bottle with the lid removed.The 1.06L bottle is quite large and stands at about 11.5 inches tall with the handle down. With the handle up it's over 13 inches.The body is powder-coated and is not the grippiest surface, but it looks great and should last well. As if to drive that point home, Stanley offers a lifetime guarantee, or 25 years for EU countries.Oddly, it arrived simply wrapped in white paper with no box or protection. There was not a mark on it but if they all ship that way it seems like an unnecessary risk.It felt a little wrong giving 5 stars to something so costly when there are much cheaper alternatives, but even without the hype this is a very impressive water bottle and even if it's a little overpriced I think it's earned the right.

It’s a lovely colour and perfect size.Does what it’s says and keeps water cold.Has scratched though, even though I’m careful with it!!

This bottle looks great and hold iced water for over 24 hours. The size is great and with the handle on the top, easy to carry around. The Straw is very nice and the whole thing is very easy to clean and the straw comes away. The opening of the bottle itself its lovely and wide so you can fill with plenty of ice or even infuse your our water with fruits. Although on the pricier side, you get what you pay for with the quality. The only downside I have with this is that because it is white, it gets easily marked but nothing major and this is purely aesthetic .
