This is a great alternative to the plastic and metallic bottles out there. Even though it's heavier than other materials, glass won't react to any liquids. So now I can carry juice and tea around with me and drink water without fear of BPA (or who knows what else is lurking). It washes cleanly between fillings - no lingering smells or weird aftertaste. I can even keep hot water in there. Now that's something you can never do with a plastic bottle. It won't keep it hot very long, but the fact that I can pour in boiling water, toss in a tea bag, catch a train and have freshly brewed tea by the time I reach my destination is a great option.

I love the silicone sleeve. It gives the bottle a nice grip, protects the bottle, and gives it personality and style. The wide mouth makes it very easy to clean and the large handle on top is comfortable to hold. No more cutting circulation off one finger! I haven't had a problem with the screw cap at all. It screws on easily and tightly and it doesn't bother me one bit that I have to do that between sips.

Offering different sleeve designs might make it more fun for those looking to personalize their bottles or just want to change things up every once in a while. If the glass can be made more light weight, this would be the perfect portable water bottle.

This is such a great product! I've been looking for a re-usable glass water bottle that is sturdy and well-designed (easy to carry, to clean, and is nice to look at). I've found it!

PLEASE consider making a one liter size or at least 32 oz! I drink 3-4 liters of water a day and the 22 oz is too small. I realize a larger bottle would be heavier but that will not bother me as i am used to carrying around lots of water with me throughout the day. Please do the 32 oz size thank you! This is a beautiful product in so many ways! (Posted on 1/15/11)

I really love my glass bottle!!! I purchased it at Whole Foods and glad I did. I hesitated because it is pricey but I understand that this bottle currently is one of a kind. I decided on the pearl and I have gotten compliments from different people about how pretty it is. Someone even called it a "fancy looking water bottle". I thought the bottle would weigh more than a steel bottle and does but I don't think it's an issue. Thank you for creating this product and hope that the price may go down in the future. I do honestly think it's worth it but others may think twice because of the price and lose out on great tasting water. :) (Posted on 10/17/10)

This bottle is ideal for transporting your beverage everyday instead of using plastic. Love the wide mouth top for ease of washing, but sometimes I wish that I can have a separate narrower drinking cap. Occasionally when driving or walking I get some liquids on me when I try to drink and drive/walk. :-) (Posted on 6/29/10)

I have wanted this bottle ever since I saw it in Parents Magazine. Not only is the bottle awesome but I love that it can hold enough liquid to fill up sippies when needed. I can't wait to buy more. The only thing is I wish they made it in pink.

I told my friends about my new beverage bottle and show it off proudly, and recommended it on my FB page. I own a lot of stainless steel water bottles but they do tend to taste a bit metallic and so I don't drink anything from it except water. Your bottle is the alternative I've been looking for and the silicone cover is genius. Thanks again and I'll be getting more some time soon. Great product design too!!

Cheers, Carin

This is the greatest bottle I've ever had. Way better than any form of plastic. No scratching, no odors. Easy to clean. Great wide-mouth design, easy open & good grip for use during work outs. Plan to purchase many more as gifts! (Posted on 6/18/10)

I purchased 2 of these bottles after seeing them mentioned in Vegetarian Times May/June 2010. My husband and I use them as our daily water bottles and we are both really happy with the product. The cover is sturdy, the silicone outside feels great, and the variety of colors are nice as well. They are also pretty easy to clean and I like knowing that they are BPA free. In case you were wondering, the bottle weights about 1 pound, 1 ounce without any liquid in it. It almost fits in the water bottle holder on my bicycle. (Posted on 6/15/10)

What a pretty bottle. I ordered this bottle from www.lifefactory.com because I have been using plastic Camelbak's to hold both water and iced lattes. I am finding that plastic retains too much smell... even if I soak the bottle in baking soda or run it through the dishwasher. So I made it my mission to find a better bottle. I was looking through a magazine last month when I came across this beautiful bottle. It is made out of glass and has a high quality silicone sleeve so that it won't break if dropped. I tried it this morning with my iced latte... and then rinsed it out to take to FlyWheel. To my surprise NO latte taste, even with a quick rinse. LOVE THIS PRODUCT!
