Trudeau Cool Down Polycarbonate Hydration 24 Ounce Bottle Breast Cancer Awareness Pink




Runners, hikers, or students on the go can put this 24-ounce water bottle with its built-in straw to good use. Made of unbreakable polycarbonate that won’t absorb odors or taste, the double-wall construction eliminates condensation so that lunch bags and notebooks next to it in a backpack will stay dry. When the weather turns cold, the bottle may be used for hot drinks. A karabiner at the neck clips the bottle onto a backpack for easy access.

This particular hydration bottle comes in pink to let you show your concern for breast cancer awareness as well as contribute to the cause. Trudeau donates 5% of the net sale of each bottle to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. A highly rated charity, BCRF makes sure at least 85 cents of every donated dollar goes directly to breast cancer awareness and prevention programs. –Ann Bieri

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Stylish, Durable, few minor flaws
I bought this water bottle to use at my desk job. It looks nice and it’s very durable (I’ve dropped it and banged it a few times, leaving no noticeable marks). It’s relatively odorless, and seems to stay fresh enough even after a week’s usage without cleaning.

I do have a few criticisms though. Although it looks stylish to have a clear outside bottle protecting the inner bottle (which holds a little over 24 oz), I would have preferred the bottle to hold water throughout the entire outer layer rather than separating the two, though I suppose if I’d wanted a higher capacity water bottle I should have bought one.

Also, I’m not a huge fan of the rubber straw. I would have preferred a water bottle that just opens and can be sipped. The rubber straw can get a little gunky after a while, especially when you are constantly opening and closing the bottle and the straw gets squished against the lid and whatever debris is in there. I’ve gotten in the habit of keeping the straw exposed most of the day so as to minimize this issue.

Overall a good product, and serves my needs well. I especially like the carabiner clip that’s attached, because then it’s easy to attach to my purse and take along with me. I also like the mini handle the carabiner is attached to, as it makes carrying the bottle quite easy.

2 Stars This water bottle LEAKS!!
I have huge water stains on my car seat where this water bottle has toppled over while driving with the water seeping/leaking out. In addition, the top can be somewhat difficult to twist open, it does not keep liquid cold for very long and there is has been no elimination of condensation. I would not recommend this item except for the fact that some of the proceeds go to cancer research.

5 Stars Great bottle
I use this almost daily and think it’s great. For some reason (maybe the bigger than normal straw) I finish off 24 oz of water in record time. I’m definitely drinking more water because of this, which was my main reason for purchase. It mostly sits on my desk and I like it because it doesn’t leave a ring. I’ve taken it on walks and to the park and it works fine but it’s not insulated by any means. You may want to look at another option if you want something for outdoor use and want it to stay cold for a long time.

5 Stars Love this water bottle
We love these water bottles so much that we have about 4 around the house. Even our 20 month old son loves to drink water from them. They come apart fully and wash up well, though I don’t leave the straw in for the drying cycle, otherwise it would warp. We bought them for use around the house as they are kind of big and don’t fit well into most beverage openings. They keep your water cold for hours on end.

4 Stars A no-sweat container
First, the problems. (1) I believe this is a breast-cancer-awareness container which is produced using materials that may cause cancer. Probably not the best design decision. (2) It doesn’t fit into the cup holder of my car. Now the things I love about it. (1) It never sweats. Filled with ice water, it will never drip on my good furniture — no coasters needed — so it is convenient to carry it with me from room to room. (2) It holds enough liquid that I feel I’ve done a good job of drinking water by the end of the day. (3) Cold drinks stay cold for many hours. I can put this on my nightstand when I go to bed and any remaining water is still cold when I get up in the morning. (4) It has a straw rather than a twist or pop-top, so it is easy to reach for it in the middle of the night without any spills. This allows me to remain half asleep. (5) Every purchase triggers a donation to prevent breast cancer.
