How long have you had your current water bottle? (lemmy.one)

I've been using a reusable 36oz/1L plastic "flip lid" bottle from Bezos's market - this is my third one (sadly replaced almost on a yearly basis) since I keep accidentally breaking the lids.

It practically comes everywhere with me - walking, cycling, in my backpack. This lid is starting to crack at the hinge and the latch though, but don't really want to replace it with the same thing again.

How long have you had you had your current bottle, and how are you finding it so far?

5 years with a 40oz "Bubba" thermos bottle. $20 at Walmart. Farm and tradesman duty every day, it bounces around the truck or tractor cab and is covered in dents but still keeps my water cold and doesn't leak. Only failure is a flimsy handle of sorts attached to the lid broke off within weeks so I tied a piece of paracord to it. I loop the paracord over my transfer case lever in the truck so it doesn't bounce out of reach.

The lid is a sort of rubbery plastic and seems super tough. The rest is stainless. Would buy again in a heartbeat
