64 Ounce Foam Insulated Hydration Bottle, Blue

FINALLY, I found a good 'drink out of the spout' water jug, that doesn't leak. I had jugs with drinking spouts that swung out, flipped out, or whatever, and none of them were quite right for me. To top it off, the little swing or flip spouts were all but impossible to get clean (on the inside) if they ever got dirty, and required you to touch the part you put to your mouth with your fingers (not good if your hands are dirty). This falls into the 'so simple I don't know why they all aren't this way' category. The drinking spout is molded into the lid, just a simple spout you put to your mouth, with a hole in it liquid flows through. The spout is straight, with no bends, and large enough to get thoroughly clean when you wash it, my pinkie finger won't quite fit inside (I wear XXL gloves). To seal the spout, a lid flips down over it, sealing the spout, and also covering it, keeping it clean. The spout is spring-loaded, so when open, it stays out of the way. It snaps shut, and when shut, there is a bright colored plastic ring that hinges up and down, that you flip up and over the end of the cover, to lock it shut, so it can't open if the release button gets bumped. To drink, you flip down the lock ring, and press the release button. The cover opens, and flips all the way back, so you can get a drink. When done, press cover over spout firmly until it clicks. You never have to touch the spout with your hands. Very simple, straightforward, and effective. The lid is indexed, so that when tightened all the way down, always puts the spout in the same position in relation to the body. The body has little grooves for your fingers, and notches for your thumbs, to make it easy to keep a firm grip on the jug when drinking from it. the handle is formed with a curve, so that when folded down, fits tightly around the curve of the jug, so it takes up a minimum of space, and has a soft rubber insert to make carrying by the handle more comfortable. Both the body and the lid are well insulated, keeping my water cold as long as any other jug I have used, and better than most, as some I used before didn't have an insulated lid. I know I sound like I am gushing on about a water jug, but I've put up with ones that leaked when tipped over (even when brand new), or had a leaky spout that dribbled when you tried to drink out of it, that finally getting one that just works is a welcome change. There may be a better one out there, but until I find it, this is the only one for me. My old leaky, hard to use ones are history. I don't believe it is for hot liquids, which is fine for me, I prefer cold water or iced tea. My one and only gripe is that it tapers a bit towards the bottom, making the bottom a bit narrower than the rest of the body, making it easier to tip. If it were wider on the bottom, you could set it in the back of a truck or SUV and it would be less likely to fall over. It hasn't leaked after falling over, but there is no reason for it to roll around back there if it doesn't have to. If Thermos were to make one more short and wide (to be less tippy) with the same lid design, I'd be all over it. Either that, or make one the same height, but bigger around, and make it 3 or 4 quarts, big enough for the whole family.

I fill the cooler with ice cubes and water at 5am each morning, and by 6pm that night, the ice cubes still have not completely melted. It is a great cooler with lots of nice little touches.On other coolers with that flip-up pouring spout, it wears down and breaks over time. It will start popping out, and you find yourself constantly trying to pop it back into place. What's worse, it also begins leaking, so you get water all over yourself.This cooler solves that problem. The spout is fixed, no moving parts to wear or break. There is a cover that flips down with the press of a button. No leaking, no parts to break.The handle is great in how not only is it curved to provide better grip and comfort while carrying, but there is also a nice rubber strip to add to the comfort. It just feels right in your hand. The handle flips down to fit flush with the cooler....another nice touch.The lid screws on tight, no mis-aligning problems. It also has a stop point so that you're not over tightening it. You screw it on until you reach the stop point, and it will not turn any further. Simple as can be.This cooler is smaller than my previous 64oz cooler, yet it still holds as much water, and keeps the water cooler for a longer amount of time. Thermos did a great job designing this cooler. Honestly, my only complaint truly is that I didn't buy it sooner.

This is an amazing product it as a lock and fits plenty of water

I have bought 5 of the jugs and they work great. My kiddos love them. They keep water cold and are easy tote and operate. I did have to send one back because the lid broke, so durability is up in the air.

We purchased this thermostat for my son during his football games. It’s our third one that we’ve purchased. It’s great. It keeps it cold all day!

I purchased this for my husband. He is a letter-carrier and works outside every day. This is smaller than what we have purchased in the past, but he is able to fill it up again during the day, so he's okay with that. Coolers we've previously purchased eventually leak and he ends up with it spilling on his shirt every time he takes a drink. Not this one! The spout snaps tightly shut and he said he likes the smaller size so that he has a place to put it in his truck without it rolling around while he's driving! It's super easy to clean, and again, the best feature is that it doesn't leak. Would purchase again if/when this one eventually wears out. So far, it's lasted longer than any others we have purchased.

Love my big blue jug :). I work 12 hr shifts at a hospital desk and can't get up frequently to get water, this beauty holds enough water for the entire night and keeps it cold until I get home! Everyone says they like it and want one too. It's also so cheap and secure. I decorated mine with stickers since there's a big Smith wall on one side of the outside.

I bought this for my daughter's soccer games. It is a great buy. You can add ice and water, and it will stay cool for quite some time. The top locks to keep the drinking tube clean when not in use, and when this Hydration Bottle can be subject to the vicissitudes of other plays and errant soccer balls. Then, you can easily unlock and press the switch to open. The blue color is very pleasant. There is a handle for easy carrying, and when not using, it will fold flush against the side.
