Contigo AUTOSEAL Licorice 32oz Water Bottle Ideal for biking cycling sports and outdoor excursions

I like this model Contigo H2O bottle a lot. It has a flip open cover which keeps the drinking orifice contact surface clean. Easy to operate, valve locking slide button prevents accidental spills which could occur with older models. It has a large push button that opens a valve for one handed drinking and provides a leakproof seal. internal parts of cap and wide mouth double stainless thermal bottle are easy to clean and the double wall stainless bottle keeps contents cold all day on the trail.New metal handle hinge pivot point is an improvement over plastic molded ones on older models, which eventually wore out causing the handles to fall off.The things I like the most about this model are that it doesn’t have the drinking straw with a noisy vent, as does the Ashland and maybe other models, or the silicone mouthpiece, you have to put between your lips and suck on. While the straw and silicone mouthpiece models allow you to suck water without tilting the bottle up, I dislike having to suck my water, hold the silicone mouthpiece between my lips and hate the loud, very annoying seagull noise the vent makes when you drink from the straw type models. I have no problem tilting the bottle up to drink from, like I would do with any other bottle and the straw makes it impossible to get a small amount of water at the bottom of the bottles, without unscrewing and removing the cap. The noisy vents also make those models unusable in a library, theater or other quiet place where there are other people, without unscrewing the cap and drinking directly from the stainless steel container.The only downside of all Contigo metal water bottles is that the stainless steel is fairly thin. This reduces weight which is important, but it also results in the bottom of the products being easily dented, usually on the first drop. This for me is a reasonable tradeoff, but I do have a few older model bottles that are a bit wobbly now and show their battle scars fairly prominently.

Best glass for 100% no spills or leaks n for keeping your cold drink cold n fresh tasting. Great value for your money n easy to use n clean up. I will definitely buy again n tell others about this automatic vacuum sealed insulated glass!

My favorite water bottles! I have bought this set of two Contigo Autoseal water bottles every time I see them go on sale. I only have to replace lost bottles, because they withstand a lot of abuse! I hate washing straws, and like to chug water, so these are perfect. These insulate very well. If you fill it with ice and water in the morning, it will keep the ice frozen with multiple refills of water throughout the day. I live in the desert Southwest, and always have my water bottle with me. The water bottles have been dropped repeatedly on concrete and blacktop, but still work perfectly after years of abuse from myself and my kids. The handles are in perfect condition, the lid on the mouth piece is intact, the top still screws on securely and our water still stays cold all day, even in triple digit temperatures. We can leave the bottle in the car, in direct sunlight, and the water inside stays cold; just be careful to not burn yourself holding the metal exterior that gets super hot! This isn't a concern across most of the US, but in the desert we know the drill, and appreciate having that cold water when we need it. My other favorite quality of these water bottles is that they are dishwasher safe. The entire thing goes into the dishwasher to be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected for continuous daily use. To get the lid completely cleaned, just push open the part inside the lid that closes the spout, and put back the cover that protects the part you put your mouth on. Put the lid face down in the top rack of the dishwasher, and you will never have to scrub the water bottle or lid to keep it clean. The lid also has a locking switch to prevent spills and leaks in backpacks or purses. The lock makes sure the autoseal button cannot be pressed at all. This is The Best waterbottle for kids, in my opinion. They are durable to survive daily abuse, and still work flawlessly. Now, if the kids could just keep track of them...

I loved my Contigo Cortland AUTOSEAL water bottles for years, but they seem to be either discontinued or becoming rare to be able to get ahold of, and my two are getting worn out after several years of hard use. I came across this Contigo Cortland CHILL and have fallen in love with this over my AUTOSEAL bottles. This one is insulated so it keeps the water really cold. Ice is still frozen in it when left standing overnight! My favorite this about this is how the trigger allows you to drink out of it without the leaky rubber straw that lots of bottles use, and I like the little handle on it Just a great water bottle all around. Totally worth the price!
