I purchase the LL Bean Sport canteen 18 oz. about 1 month ago. I have always had a platic water bottle in my car. I have been reluctant to order because of the pouring abilities associated with the Aluminum bottles. I like the sqeeze of the plastic, but with all the talk about toxins, I figured it was time to switch. The new pour spout works great. Much better than I anticipated. I'm thinking of ordering the insulator for it. When filled with cold water, the aluminum bottle is quite cold. Thinking the water would also warm quickely in the summer months.
Spotted this in the Christmas catalog and decided to buy two of them (one pink and one blue) and then had them personalized with my Grandkids name on them (one for each of them). They were the first two presents I purchased this year.
