Nice design. Appreciate how easy the top is to clean. Two pieces. Top rack of dishwasher on a tine. Easy.Made in USAI bought my first polar bottle in 2020, two of them, actually. me and my son have taken those bottles in countless bike rides, hikes, and he took it to school as well, every day. a few weeks ago the inside/bottom support of the valve cap broke. it had survived plenty of tumbles and a kid that on occasion slammed it shut. Without hesitation I bought another one because I saw how good the first one was. alas, in its second day, it broke at school when my son closed it. Still thinking nothing of it I went for an exchange. we went out on our bikes, and while pulling it out of the holder it slipped and fell, as luck would have it; top-down. it broke again.The first bottle lasted nearly two years, countless falls and saw plenty of action, so I wasn't surprised when it broke. But for not one, but TWO replacements to fail one after the other, I must conclude that it is pretty obvious that something has changed.the second original bottle (which I use) still is fine, it's the different cap (black) and a slightly different system which doesn't rely on the stopper in the inside of the cap. Regardless, it's too bad to see a good thing go bad, either by an unfortunate redesign or this is a bad batch and hopefully the manufacturer addresses this.in that note, I would also like to see them offer just replacement caps, obviously there's more money on the entire bottle, however I'm sure plenty of people would gladly buy just the cap at a decent price for both buyer and seller, and the much cherished brand loyalty would increase. anywho, I can't rate this bottle any more than one star, given the circumstances.This bottle replaced my old Podium Ice bottle. Unlike the Ice, this one is easy to take apart for thorough cleaning. However, it does not keep my drink as cold as the ice. I may have a sliver or two of ice left after an early morning two-hour Oklahoma summer ride, but that's about it. I consider the lack of chill a decent trade-off for ease of cleaning.bottle was as advertised. my liquids have been kept reasonably cold on some very hot days, and I love the drinking spout.
