ZULU Atlas Glass Water Bottle with Silicone Sleeve, 20 oz, Purple

I just have to go out of my way to write a review for this. I'm going on my 4th bottle now, 3 of which were purchased. Myn first one I broke, it literally rolled off a bookcase 8' high and shattered. I was devastated so immediately bought another, but I was leaving for germany in 3 days. The amazing support got it to me on time even though shipping was 1 week.Somehow along the trip or even before, the lid leaked and wouldn't screw on correctly, so I sent it back once back into the states, and they promptly sent me a new one. it was in my checked bag so who knows.Now, as of yesterday I lost this one and left it sitting on a bus or grocery store, so I'm buying it again, exact same one. I know I said one dropped one and it shattered, but it comes with a handle, covered in thick plastic, and I can't even tell you how many times i've dropped it out of my hand, onto pavement, and not once has it ever broken! It's even rolled off multiple tables say 4 ' high and not broke.Its a rock-solid beast and surely made of some special type of glass. YOur drinks taste great, its stylish, and people on the st often ask where I got it. I highly recommend this product. Zulu, can I be your spokesman haha. People are amazed when I tell them the price and how cheap it is. It's a 40.00 water bottle for 14.00.BTW the one that leaked was a total fluke. The lock feature is awesome too. I can throw it in my laptop backpack with no worries.I'll never switch from this brand. The glass is a little bit heavier but all your drinks taste WAY better and it's worth it. This puts yeti bottles to shame. Keep up the awesome work Zulu, whoever you are!

I've been looking around for good ways to improve health and have discovered that the water we drink is commonly tainted with traces of heavy metals, toxins, pesticides, bacteria, residual personal care products, etc. So I started drinking more filtered water, which was great, but then I discovered that many times the plastic from water bottles slowly degraded and leeched chemicals/toxins into the drinking water (yes, even BPA-free plastics...). This led me to look for glass water bottles as it is the safest material to drink from (metal water bottles can be okay, but it depends on the metal as aluminum can leech quickly while stainless steel does a pretty good job...glass has the best bet though). Given that I had been drinking out of a plastic "BPA-free" water bottle for the past four years or so, I decided it was probably high time that I actually do something about it. Therefore I ordered this glass water bottle with fingers crossed.When I found this water bottle, I was concerned that it might be too small, too fragile, and too inconvenient or awkward for drinking, but all of those concerns were mitigated once it arrived.At 20oz, it was a smaller volume than I was used to, but that ended up being a hidden benefit as it keeps me active as I have to keep filling it up. After washing it out, there was no funny taste to the water (as I had been finding with my water bottle and even my steel water bottle), and the wide-mouth design for drinking is perfect for me to chug the whole container quickly while filling it up so that I can drink as fast or slow as I want. Its sleek, slim and stylish design definitely gave it an aesthetically-pleasing look which only helped my opinion of the product. The thin design fits super well in my hand and I find myself tossing it from hand to hand often as the ergonomic grip and silicone sleeve make it feel like it 'sticks' to my hand.The one main thing about this water bottle that I was concerned about was the durability, but the thick glass design and silicone sleeve has made this water bottle quite resistant to any damage due to sudden impact. I've dropped it a few times in the short while that I've had it and there have been no qualms regarding its strength or durability. Seems to be quite impervious to damage, although knowing me and my tendencies to overuse and wear out products quick, I might still find a way to break it haha...but I haven't yet! I'll update the post if anything like that ever happens.Flip-up lid is quite nice and makes a soft 'pop' sound each time it opens (likely due to the pressure difference from temperature) which sure is fun, but you can prevent that by slowly releasing the lid instead of letting it release quickly. Lock option is pretty airtight in my opinion and I've had no issues with it (and I've jostled it quite a bit while using the lock). Looks super sweet and does everything I need it to do.Overall, great product, great design, great usability. I imagine I'll be using this for years to come, unless they come out with a 32oz or bigger version, as I have been known to drink over a gallon most days haha....many thanks for the team at Zulu for sharing this product!

I got this bottle after having it in my cart for a while and just loving the way it looked. I keep it at my parents' house for when I visit them with my family. We usually stay for 2-4 weeks once or twice a year. I have a Lifefactory bottle at home that I use there, and I love that bottle too, but I really enjoy this bottle a lot. I especially like how it has a pop-open lid (with a lock). The mouth is very good and I never end up spilling anything when I drink. It's a simple to clean bottle too. Even if we take a trip down the coast or something, this rugged bottle is the perfect choice. Very happy with my purchase.
