It's a very nice bottle and is very light. Titanium is a great material since it doesn't rust and is considered "biocompatible". The only thing I think is worth noting is that it does have a scraping noise when you seal the titanium lid to it, if you're shopping for a bottle to use in silent libraries, you might draw some attention. Regarding Silverant, the manufacturer. There was a defect in the bottle I purchased and they very graciously replaced it even after the warrant window had passed. They seem like honest people who really want users to have a good experience with their products. My replacement bottle has no issues; I would shop from them in the future for outdoors gear.

So I have a bunch of stainless steel bottles 1 liter + and much like the Rambo style survival knife philosophy, it's great and highly capable, but so big and bulky I just wind up leaving it home. Then you don't have it when you need it. This was the case with the 1 liter SS bottles so I wound up just using a plastic disposable bottle. Not the end of the world but I wanted the versatility of a steel bottle for the just in case factor. The titanium is a luxury I admit. However I am a firm believer in buy once cry once and have it forever. Due to the slightly reduced volume and slimmer dimension I am keeping it in my pack and will use it every day. Another thing is I wanted all steel ( or titanium) construction, no plastic. The top is titanium with a silicone ring which is necessary to prevent leaking. Good quality. The ring on the top for attachment is sturdy. This was a deal breaker with other bottles I'd considered before I decided on this one. I read in reviews how others had bent or even snapped off. I think this ring will hold up well. As for the bottle itself it is well constructed. There are no obvious seams and the feel of the bottle is light yet sturdy. The width of the mouth is perfect, not too big or small. The sleeve appears to be of good construction and it may buy you a little more cold time. It will also soak up condensation for the sweating issue so that's good, and provide a measure of protection against denting. I personally wanted single wall construction so I could boil and cook in with it if need be. I don't really care if it doesn't keep my water ice cold for hours. If I want that I'll use a double wall bottle. The bottle seems solid. I would recommend this bottle for the aforementioned reasons if that's your vibe. Be safe!! LD Read more
So I'm not going to lie, I bought this water bottle purely to look cool. There's no practical reason to have a titanium water bottle, when toxin-free plastic water bottles are readily available and insanely light (not to mention cheap). That said, is there anything more awesome than titanium? I couldn't resist. And I know my friends will be jealous when they see it. Call it sad, that's fine, I'll even agree with you. But there are few joys to being a middle-aged man. Let me have this one. Anyway, the bottle itself is fantastic. I got the slim style with the narrower top, and I love everything about the way it looks. The screwtop fits perfectly, precision manufactured. I don't know what else you could really say. It's a titanium water bottle and it's freaking awesome. It's super light, and a high capacity that will be very useful to me on backpacking trips. I'll pack it in and out empty, and it'll be just as great as my current plastic water bottle that will now never be used again because I spent a lot of money on a titanium one instead for no good reason. I appreciate that it comes with a thermal sleeve to keep liquids cool or warm, but I'll never use it. I bought a titanium water bottle to have a titanium water bottle, not to hide it in a sleeve. Plus the sleeve adds weight. Why buy an ultralight water container and then add weight to it? So it's a nice touch, but will just end up in a cabinet. So if I love this ridiculous thing so much, why 4 stars, you ask? It's because of the texture on the main bottle. While the neck of the bottle is smooth, the rest of the bottle has been textured very slightly, like a very fine powder finish. It looks really great, like the epitome of titanium gray, until you touch it. The texture causes fingerprints, water spots, etc to be accentuated. I can only imagine how grubby this thing will look after applying sunscreen and then taking a swig. I'm sure the company decided on this texture for functionality, and I have little doubt the texture will help with grip. But it's kind of a bummer to spend so much on a titanium water bottle and know that most of the time it will look dirty. So while I acknowledge that the company has my best interests at heart here, I kind of wish they hadn't. As I said, there is no practical reason for this object to even exist, so you might as well make it look as nice as possible and give it a smooth finish that will stay clean-looking. Read more
I am endorsing this bottle for its superior material and design. It has replaced my plastic bottles, and I use it more regularly. Its lighter in weight, withstands high heat, and doesn't leak plastic into my liquids. Also, the customer service and warranty departments are receptive to my needs. They are friendly, supportive and very professional. They helped me navigate through the necessary websites and processes, smoothly, and replaced my bottle products prompt. I highly recommend purchasing this Titanium bottle and any other products from SILVERANT here on Amazon and I am grateful for the customer care department. Read more
I like how light the design is, making it easy to have a decent amount of water without excess weight . Not a fan of the insulator sleeve as it is necessary to keep anything hot or cold and it's so snug that the bottle does not come in or out very easily. It also doesn't do as well a job keeping things cold or hot as I wanted it to. Also not a fan of the lid design, it makes a metal to metal squeeky squelch sound that makes me cringe. The lid also needs to be tightened very tightly so it does not leak, making the cringe worthy noise each time. Read more
