How long have you had your current water bottle? (lemmy.one)

I've been using a reusable 36oz/1L plastic "flip lid" bottle from Bezos's market - this is my third one (sadly replaced almost on a yearly basis) since I keep accidentally breaking the lids.

It practically comes everywhere with me - walking, cycling, in my backpack. This lid is starting to crack at the hinge and the latch though, but don't really want to replace it with the same thing again.

How long have you had you had your current bottle, and how are you finding it so far?

I have a couple of Specialized custom bottles I ordered for a chain of 3 bike shops I was the Buyer. IIRC I placed that order in 2011, some time around April. Both of mine are still working fine. They have whatever chemical it is you're not supposed to use any more. I won't let water sit in them for more than a few hours, but otherwise no issues. IMO, when it comes to plastic, or any coated metal, it is all bad. The only difference is what has been researched by unbiased scientists.
