I own and use multiples of these bottles. I really like them. I prefer the 24oz sizes, but have smaller bicycle frames requiring the use of a smaller bottle in some setups. These tips hold water well, yet make purposeful access easy by squeezing the bottle. Insulation is minimal, but seems fairly effective. I ride in moderate Midwest temperatures and like how these bottles maintain water temperature.
Riding in early morning before sunrise and with hot/humid conditions led me to try these bottles.
I have Camelbak insulated bottles but the reflection feature helps me to have that extra visibility. 24oz are too big for these rides so the 21oz bottles were purchased. No complaints and the fluids stay cooler

I ride in the hot summer mornings in the Sacramento Valley. I usually put my bottles in the refrigerator the night before I ride, and after an hour or so the water is borderline luke warm. If I put ice cubes in the bottle the water will still be cool 2 and 1/2 hours into a ride. I haven't found anything better for the price so I'll keep using them.
I use this as my 3rd water bottle in my bottom water bottle cage, while on tour. It is a bit shorter than my other Camelback podium chill bottles, so it doesn't hit the front wheel, but still keeps some ice water cold until I need it.
This bottle definitely keeps things cold, i put it in the freezer with only a certain amount then top it of to where I want it before i leave. Takes 2 hands to open it though so if you want a drink while under way it could be a problem
