So I have a bunch of stainless steel bottles 1 liter + and much like the Rambo style survival knife philosophy, it's great and highly capable, but so big and bulky I just wind up leaving it home. Then you don't have it when you need it. This was the case with the 1 liter SS bottles so I wound up just using a plastic disposable bottle. Not the end of the world but I wanted the versatility of a steel bottle for the just in case factor. The titanium is a luxury I admit. However I am a firm believer in buy once cry once and have it forever. Due to the slightly reduced volume and slimmer dimension I am keeping it in my pack and will use it every day. Another thing is I wanted all steel ( or titanium) construction, no plastic. The top is titanium with a silicone ring which is necessary to prevent leaking. Good quality. The ring on the top for attachment is sturdy. This was a deal breaker with other bottles I'd considered before I decided on this one. I read in reviews how others had bent or even snapped off. I think this ring will hold up well. As for the bottle itself it is well constructed. There are no obvious seams and the feel of the bottle is light yet sturdy. The width of the mouth is perfect, not too big or small. The sleeve appears to be of good construction and it may buy you a little more cold time. It will also soak up condensation for the sweating issue so that's good, and provide a measure of protection against denting. I personally wanted single wall construction so I could boil and cook in with it if need be. I don't really care if it doesn't keep my water ice cold for hours. If I want that I'll use a double wall bottle. The bottle seems solid. I would recommend this bottle for the aforementioned reasons if that's your vibe.Be safe!!LD
