The old bottle also had a moulded carry handle which I snapped off last month, too. I have a weird physiology where I get the most violent cramps in many different muscles in my body if I don't keep hydrated. I also need to take potassium tablets to maintain my electrolytic balance.This bottle, is very slightly smaller than my previous 1.2L bottle and allows me to store potassium pills in the base, which is a game changer for me. The pill compartments are big enough to take Dextrosol glucose tablets (if taken out of the pack) too. The bottle, like rival bottles is double wall insulated. However where it differs from rivals is that the spout locates firmly into the airhole in the lid making it leakproof. I cannot count the amount of times my old bottle leaked in my laptop bag, my topcase of my motorbike, or even just leant over. I ended up having to by a bottle carry bag to keep it away from my briefcase. (I eventually figured out that when commuting to London on my bike, I should carry an empty bottle, then fill it up at work!)Anyway, this bottle also has a sip spout which is a great help for swallowing pills. That locates firmly onto the lid, so there's no chance of any spillage. The metal carrying handle allows you to attach a strap (not included) which is a big bonus, since I don't need to fiddle with a bottle pouch. Also, as it is a swing type handle, it doesn't take up extra space or is likely to break off, as my previous one did. Lastly, and to my wife's delight, it comes in multiple colours, rather than just plain black.There's only one downside and that's the centrally located straw is problematic for two reasons: 1) The supplied straw is marginally too long and prevents easy sucking. 2) It also causes a problem when trying to get the last few millilitres out. I solved the first problem by cutting 0.5cm off the bottom with a pair of kitchen scissors. The second problem requires the use of the sip spout, rather than the suck spout. There's nothing the manufacturer could do really to change the design without removing the sip spout, so it's not really a big issue. Anyway, the quality and functionality combination of this bottle knocks the spots of its rivals. BUY IT!! IT's DOTTORE APPROVED!!

I ignored the negative reviews for this bottle and I'm so glad I did, so easy to keep my water intake up with the straw, some reviews reported the tab snapping off but it feels very sturdy and secure to me, I've experienced no leaking so far and I often use the pour lid so tipping the bottle the only concern is there is nothing to secure the pour lid so I wouldn't throw it in a bag incase it flips open, keeps my water very cold overnight sometimes, never put ice in it but I've never really needed to. Some day it doesn't keep the ice frozen for the time it says it keeps drinks cool for but common sense would suggest that to keep the ice frozen it'll need to be 0 degrees c that will then freeze the water... Overall great bottle does what it says on the tin my only question is why the need for the pill caddy? I have taken to stashing mints or gum there instead

Better than a Stanley! I love the two drinking options and the removable pill case is AWESOME! Will be recommending these to everyone I know! It’s pretty heavy but still the best bottle I’ve used. Easy 5 stars

Really impressed with the quality of this bottle. Really sturdy construction. Doesn't leak at all when tipped upside down. Comes in a good range of colours. Personally I like the black one.Really easy to clean due to the wide opening. Straw is detachable too.It has really good insulating properties. You can put ice cubes in it in the morning and they'll still be there in the evening!Comes with a spare straw and sleeve to protect it during transport.

Bought for taking into hospital when having my baby. Great for keeping hydrated during labour and a life savour for in the hospital. Hasn’t leaked at all and it’s been in every position.Brilliant with the compartment at the bottom, I used mine to keep a lip balm in so I always have one with me!

Great sized bottle, lovely little storage compartment at the bottom for pills. Keeps drinks lovely and cold however you’ve got to put cold drinks in first for them to stay cold.

I love that this bottle comes with multiple straw red and even has a pill pot at the bottom for convenience. Love the clean design. It’s super durable.

Not sure at this moment in time if it is going to leak. Like that it has a soft bottom. Definitely not 40oz. Only holds 35 at a push. That’s very disappointing. And also misleading of the description.Will update when used it fully.Do like it has replacement straws though.
