I can’t wait another minute to tell you about the new Think Sport Bottle! It was created by the same masterminds behind Think Baby Bottles and Sippy Cups, which made me take a hard look at it right away.
What’s so great about these bottles? Here are my favorite features:
- It’s virtually indestructible. I gave a very manly black Thinksport to my Dad, who we call Mr. Destructo for obvious reasons. He has done his best to crush it, break it, even force leakage – but to no avail! He gives it a hearty thumbs up.
- It’s just so darn good looking. The bottle is not only attractive, but its shape is perfect for gripping.
- It’s insulated. This is what distinguishes it from other non-plastic bottles I’ve used. My drink stays cold for hours with no condensation on the outside. I’ve had ice cubes left in my bottle after six hours in the hot sun, and when left inside, ice water stays cold for up to 24 hours! Prefer to drink hot tea, coffee or cocoa? The Think Sport bottle will keep is warm for up to 8 hours while remaining cool to the touch. Amazing. Read more about our experiment on that here.
- It’s a safer alternative to toxic plastic. The bottle is free of bisphenol-a, lead, phthalates and cadmium. There is no lining on the inside of the bottle and the company does third party testing to ensure it stays toxin-free.
- It’s the perfect size. The large bottle holds 25oz and the small bottle holds 12oz. The spout is the perfect size for taking a moderate size swig. It also comes with a little screen that snaps into the larger opening (which by the way is great for adding full size ice cubes to my drink). The screen helps keep tea leaves and ice from blocking the opening.
Well, that gives you a good look at my new best traveling companion. I don’t go anywhere without it.
Jeremiah of ZRecs fame challenged Think Sport to a BPA Free Water Bottle Showdown on his new blog Gardenaut. We weren’t surprised at all to hear that our favorite 25oz Think Sport bottle won the contest hands down!
Kathy of Safemama also tried a Think Sport bottle out too. You can read her review here.

UPDATE 4/29/08: Think Sport bottles are now available in a “Mini Me” size! The 12oz stainless steel bottles just hit the shelves at The Soft Landing.
UPDATE 5/14/08: The manufacturer has recently upgraded the Think Sport bottle strap assembly. The strap is much more durable, but also more difficult to twist open/closed at first. It just needs to be broken in like a new pair of shoes, then you’ll have the most wonderfully durable and intensely insulated stainless steel bottle on the market. It’s our personal all-time favorite!
UPDATE 9/22/08: NEW 12oz black Think Sport bottles are now available! The 25oz black Think Sport bottle is finally back in stock too.
