While the design is great, the coating is of regrettably poor quality. I purchased these for my children. As young children often romp about, the canteens were dropped. Imagine my shock when the coating bubbled at the first drop and started peeling. The bubbling and peeling only continued. I will be returning these.
I love this bottle except that it is very noisy to drink from. I was told that it sounds like a turkey. Why does it make that noise? It is the escape hole which does not seem to open.
