Avoid cold hands and dens with the insulated sleeve CamelBak 0.75 Liter Insulated Bottle Carrier. (.75 size is larger because the bottle is larger due to thermal wall insulation) Owner: 6 months of everyday usage. Pros 1. The bottle keeps ice cold for 12+ hours. I only put 2-3 cubes in and they last me all day! 2. Bite valve and closing mechanism keeps liquids from spilling. 3. One handed operation (great for driving). 4. No staining in 6 months of daily usages. I use this for ice tea, red juices, etc and no staining thus far (also see cleaning tip below). Cons 1. Not too big of a deal, but the bottle is "Hand Wash Only" (see cleaning tip below). [Please Note: The camelbak website says it is dishwasher safe, but my bottle clearly states "Hand Wash Only" on the bottom - newer bottles might be different] ~ Additional cleaning tip: To avoid soap residue I use white vinegar to clean (about 50/50 with water) and let the bottle soak overnight with the bite valve and straw inside to clean and kill bacteria etc.
