“I have had this jug for 6 months, enough time for me to give a real honest review, and I think I can safely say that it holds up to what it claims! In fact, I've had Ice in it since May and it's still cold now! (not really) No but seriously, it holds ice very well and stays cold for longer than 24 hours for me. When I took it on a vacation where temps reached nearly 100° it stayed cold for pretty much the entire day I did a little test and it stayed cold with ice in tact for about 12 hours the water than stayed cold for like another 13. I have a sleeve so there aren't many dings in it. The sleeves got really dirty really fast. The lid has never leaked for me. The flip top has never accidentally opened if anything it's a little hard to open but not unbearably so at first, I didn't realize you can just sip on the opening like it's a straw. I thought that you had to tilt it I thought that was super annoying but once I realize you can just sip it like a straw it became so much easier and it was a total game changer. I have recommended Hydro jug, both the stainless steel and the regular to multiple people and so far they've all liked it , the customer service was also great because when I ordered the essentials kit which is the black stainless steel bottle and the shaker bottle, the package was delivered to my house but it got stolen so they resent it exactly the same and it was great. If you want a specific color I recommend waiting for a cell to get the Hydro jug stainless steel but if you don't mind having a black one and then putting a sleeve on it definitely go for the essentials kit you get the shaker bottle which is also decent. I'll talk about that in a liter of you, but this one was good.”
