New Wave Enviro Tinted Stainless Steel Water Bottle (20.2oz, Turquoise)

If you are looking for a cheap and *very* light use bottle... this one works. If you are looking for a quality workhorse bottle... this is NOT it.

The quality of the screw cap ring is bad. There aren't enough threads to really get the top on tight. It either spins or leaks slightly.

The tinted paint layer is thin and does chip/scratch pretty easy with typical use.

They are made in China if that is a concern for you.

Save your money and buy a Sigg bottle for the same kind of bottle but much higher quality. Or a Klean Kanteen. I own both and they are 10x the water bottle. I have four children under the age of 8 that used these bottles and they just don't really hold up like the Sigg or Klean Kanteen.

The only problem with this bottle is that the taping on the top is hard to line up properly to screw it on. I have a hard time with it and my kids can't do it at all. Otherwise it's a great product. No metal or plastic taste in the water. And the loop on the top is handy for attaching to it to things when carrying a lot of stuff.

The top is sharp where a person would drink from. The water smells moldy if left overnight. And the paint chips in the dishwasher.

I like the idea of getting away from the plastic bottles and this is lightweight and in lots of nice colors. The negative to this design is the cap is hard to fasten and can leak if it's not on perfectly. Hopefully they will redesign the caps and then it would be a perfect bottle.

I purchased this bottle in September and loved it at first. I took it everywhere with me. The only problem at first was that I got lazy and didn't screw it on totally so I wouldn't have to unscrew it to take a drink and found myself with leaks in bags, etc. So, now after a couple of months, I have found that screwing it on and off every time I want a drink has worn the threads on the cap. It no longer holds tightly. I won't buy another of this brand. I need something easier to drink from and more reliable.
