CamelBakChute Mag Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle

I have a larger Camelbak insulated stainless steel water bottle, but wanted a smaller one for my daily walks. It's perfect. The handle on the lid makes it easy to carry when I'm out walking, and the smaller size means I'm carrying less weight.I chose the stainless steel bottle over plastic to cut down on consumption of microplastics and PFAs. (The lid is still plastic, but overall, there's less plastic.) The stainless steel has the added benefit of not picking up odors or emitting that plastic-y smell that some water bottles have. And the double-wall construction keeps my drink cool for a surprisingly long time, even in a hot car.The lid design is great for drinking on the go; the spout is wide enough to get a good gulp of water without spilling the whole thing when you're on the move. The magnet holds the spout's lid in place when you want to leave it open -- while you're driving, for instance. And I have never had any problem with leakage when the lid and the spout cover are both screwed on properly.Judging by my larger bottle, which I have had for a year, the stainless Camelbaks are quite durable. Even the enamel(?) finish is pretty durable. I have dropped my bigger one several times, and it still shows only minor scratches and a barely-visible, tiny dent.Cleaning is easy -- much easier than the Camelbaks with a straw. The bottle has a wide mouth, so it's easy to get a bottle brush inside. The lid requires a smaller brush to get into the crevices, but it's not difficult. (Not like cleaning the straw and bite spout on the straw models!)I've had Camelbaks for years, beginning with the straw-and-bite-spout, plastic bottle models. These stainless ones are my favorites. I rarely go out without it.

This is my third CamelBak Chute Mag stainless steel (vacuum) bottle. It is the 20oz version and just barely fits into the cup holder on my car (I blame the car, not the bottle). I love this model of CamelBak bottles -- easy to use, no leaks, and very sturdy. I've had my 40oz version for a couple of years. The built-in handle on the cap is very handy for casual carrying (short hikes). It does a great job of keeping my water ice cold all day. The wide mouth allows easy cleaning and filling with ice.

It’s rare these days to find a perfect product, but this is it. Doesn’t leak, holds enough water, love the choice of small spout (that doesn’t flap back in your face while drinking) or twist off top. I took it on a five day wilderness rafting trip- the handle clipped onto the boat or my dry bag, and did I mention it keeps the liquid cold?? I hardly ever give such an enthusiastic review… but I love this thing!

Best water container out there at keeping drinks cool. The magnetic lid is great so you don't have to hold the lid while you're drinking or find a place to put it down. I've never been a fan of the containers that have straws because I find them difficult to clean and if you use your drink container as often as I do, it's important to clean often. This style of lid makes it easy.

This is a great bottle, the lid is where the magic happensEasy to access, nice to drink out of. Bottle is great quality, the only issue I've noticed is it doesn't hold ice as long as a Miir or Yeti. But this is also cheaper with a better lid.

Nice. Nice size, nice construction, a quality product. Nice, wide opening for easy filling.Two minor issues:1. Doesn't keep liquids cold for as long as some other bottles. Does a good job at this, but don't expect your drink to be ice cold six hours from the time you filled the bottle. This is a minor issue unless you have the need for an ice cold drink six hours from now.2. Magnet seems like a gimmick; it's not too strong and I don't mind screwing the lid on so as to avoid an accidental spill. But this too is a minor issue, and I don't want you to think I'm a sniveling whiner.(Actually, I am a sniveling whiner, but I don't want you to think so.)

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Awesome. I was looking at other bottles that were in $40-$50 range. This one does everything I need. In attempting to get water inside this bottle cold, I placed it in refrigerator overnight w cap on. Woke up next morning and water was still lukewarm - testament to its insulation.

I left this water bottle in my car over 24hrs with temps in the high 80's. Water was still cool the next day. I was impressed with that and that's about all I'm really looking for. I'm not asking for the world with a water bottle, but I like the water to be cold for at least 24hrs. The quality of the water bottle is high end. It seems well made and has some heft to it. The magnetic cap function is a little gimmicky. I can see the plastic that attaches the cap to the bottle coming apart after a while. That won't affect the cap staying on or how it functions.
