The 25oz HydroMate Stainless Steel Water Bottle by ChillWarmer. Is a high quality 304 stainless steel material, it is the same material used in the food, wine and beverage industry. It is BPA-free so it will not leech or let dangerous toxins soak into the material. It comes with 2 different lids that screw into the top of the canister very secure and leak proof.
Now for the 2 lids: One is a normal thermos type lid and the other is a sports bottle top. Now for the normal thermos lid it works a cork that you screw in and out and pour from the bottle or drink. The second is the sports bottle top. This is the only part I did not like about the water bottle. This lid lets the contents out very slowly if at all. It creates a suction inside the canister making it vapor lock and you have to actually suck the liquid out. Once you do start that process it begins to create a back suction into your mouth.
It comes with a large wide mouth opening making it perfect for pouring liquids and placing ice cubes into the bottle and double walled insulated helps keep temperatures in for up to 12 hours. The water bottle does great at keeping your liquids at your preferred temperature for an extended amount of time. The contents inside the canister do not affect the outside temperature. In other words if you put hot coffee in it, the canister on the outside does not get hot from the coffee being in it.
The other feature I am not happy with is the canister being made of metal. This makes it where if it is out in the sun the outside gets really hot to the touch. I think it would be great if they offered a silicone sleeve that is removable to stop this issue. I personally took two of my can koozy's and cut the bottom out of one and slide them onto the water bottle. This works great at making it possible to drink when I am out working in the sun with out burning my hands when I pick up the bottle.
If you in the market for a fashionable water bottle that can maintain your liquids at you desired temperatures, this will do all that with out fail. I would like to thank ChillWarmer and affiliates for sending me this water bottle to try out and leave my opinion.
