In this review the S'well Stainless Steel Water Bottle 17oz, Desert Sky is evaluated as a daily carry bottle for people who want reliable temperature control in a compact, stylish package. The single biggest reason to buy is its triple-layered vacuum insulation, which keeps cold drinks cold for up to 36 hours and hot drinks hot for up to 18, making it useful for long days out without reheating or refilling. The bottle's size, finish and condensation-free exterior make it an easy pick for commuters, gym-goers and anyone replacing single-use bottles.

Key Features

• Triple-layered insulation: Therma-Swell Technology preserves temperature for extended periods so beverages stay cold for 36 hours or hot for 18 hours.
• Stainless construction: Made from 18/8 food-grade stainless steel for durability and safe, BPA/BPS-free hydration.
• Condensation-free exterior: The bottle does not sweat, keeping hands and bags dry during use.
• Practical opening: The mouth is wide enough for most ice cubes and makes filling and cleaning straightforward.
