awesome water bottle

I have had it for a couple months now and love it. It keeps cold or hot for easily an hour work day in fact . I have put ice in it at night before bed, and found some ice left in it when I got home after work the following day. ( I usually work afternoons and get home at 9pm too). Something nice to know is I have a Camelbak sport bottle, and the Sport top fits perfectly even making a good seal so I don't have to use the twist top. That would be then only improvement to this bottle, it doesn't bother me because I have my other top. However I would like to see LTT offer a top like this as well. The bottle mentioned is (CamelBak Podium Chill Insulated Bike Water Bottle). This isn't to do anything else but offer reference to Linus and his team to make an amazing bottle just a tad bit better.

Just wanted to end this with, Thank you to all at LTT. You have given me much entertainment while keeping up to date on all things tech.

I am very happy with my purchase. Excellent water bottle, very good quality product.

Boss actually thought I was drinking moonshine at work. 10/10

Like many others, this is also my first LTT water bottle. It's EDC for me at work (yes, even with the implied alcohol content, lol). Holds water at a nice cool temp for hours, even with no ice and in a toasty environment.
I'll be honest, I have not ever used the included lid! I discovered that Cirkul, Hydroflask, and Nalgene brand lids all work with the LTT water bottle flawlessly, and likely even more that share the same threading type. (If you want to use a Cirkul lid, DO NOT hang or grab it by the lids built-in loop; this bottle is metal, and way heavier than the loop on the cap was designed to hold! It won't break immediately, but will fatigue the plastic over time, and eventually cause a break.) I daily drive a Hydroflask brand sippy straw lid with mine. I've also got a Hydroflask brand boot on mine to limit the scuffing on the bottom and minimize noise, and it fits like a glove.
Fair warning, the plain white powder coat cleans up well (excellent choice, CW team!), but will absolutely show dirt and scuffs more readily than nearly any other colorway possibly could. The texture grips well even when wet, and is a delight to touch, but likes to hold on to dirt until you actively try to clean it (which is easy enough with some water and a microfiber or mild soap). I tried to keep it plain and neat for a while, but EDC water bottles are bound to get scuffs, dents, and scratches. Luckily for me, I love putting stickers on my bottles! And there's lots of blank white real estate on this bottle, plenty for even my largest stickers. But if you would rather show off the intended design of the bottle, keep in mind that light/white colorways will always show damage or dirt a bit more readily.
10/10 bottle, and I will likely get more of them in the future!
