I love Hydro Jug! It is the only waterbottle that helps me get my hydration needs. I debated and debated and bought cheaper bottles that have broke or were just too small or awkward. Ive contributed to landfills with too many disposable watewr bottles. The handles on the plastic jugs are nice, the only issues is they only keep ice about 1/2 a day. But for a run or a quick trip they are great and cheaper than the metal jugs. HOWEVER, the metal jugs will keep ice for just about 2 days! I love it. Stop buying cheap and just give in, they will last you forever. It's good for your health and good for the planet!
