I got 2 of these bottles for myself and my husband and I hadn't physically
touched it when I purchased online. I can really say that it feels nice to
hold, drinking from glass is my preference, and the silicon covering means that
it has a little protection from breaking. Both of us think that they are pretty
awesome bottles and we love the wide mouth.
I did take it to the beach and I can say that I think I won't do that
again because the sand got stuck to the silicon outer layer and felt really
gritty in my hand- which I don't enjoy, but hopefully the enjoyment of this
bottles other features will mean I stay hydrated and also save a few plastic
bottles going into the environment after a single use. :)
