## Description

Thermos products deliver what matters every time. As the leading manufacturer of convenient insulated products for over 100 years, Thermos is trusted by consumers to provide innovative portable containers that promote a safe and healthy lifestyle. Thermos delivers when it matters. Thermos brand products offer superior cold retention that keeps beverages cool and delicious for hours, and the 2465 Vacuum Insulated Hydration Bottle is no exception. Thermos vacuum insulation technology virtually eliminates temperature change within the beverage container by creating an airless space between two stainless steel walls. The result is an insulation layer that performs better than any other. A superior insulated container you can depend on to keep your beverages colder, fresher, longer. This hydration bottle keeps beverages cold up to 14 hours more than 10 times longer than an ordinary plastic water bottle. Constructed with double wall stainless steel, this 18-ounce bottle is virtually unbreakable and built to withstand the demands of everyday use. A comfortable silicone grip makes the bottle easy to grasp and the bottle is sized to fit most automobile cup holders. The Thermos 2465 Vacuum Insulated Hydration Bottle comes equipped with a hygienic, push-button, locking lid which can be operated easily with one hand. And because of the double wall insulation, the stainless-steel body stays condensation-free with cold beverages. In order to maximize the incredible insulation technology, it is recommended to pre-chill the bottle just prior to use. This can be accomplished by filling the bottle with cold tap water, attaching the lid and letting it rest for a few minutes. Before you are ready to use, simply empty the water and fill with your favorite beverage. Attaching the lid will further increase the thermal efficiency.

Review: 10 years on, still my favorite cold cup - I have tried so many mainstream, branded solutions for cold water drinking over the years. 15 years ago I found one of these on sale at the place I worked for. I in that time I have tried all the faddish, expensive competition that has come along. I always come back to these. They are EFFECTIVE at maintaining my water nice and cold for nice and long. But really, the other well-known options also do. What keeps me coming back to this is the mix of other attributes that this has that the others seem to be missing on one or the other. There are 3 main things that a cold cup needs to be effective: 1- Maintains cold temp for long periods 2- Easy to drink from/operate 3- Easy to maintain/clean All the other mainstays seem to fail at either #2 or #3, or in some cases both. Who the hell thought it would be a good idea to create a lid with nooks and crannies??? We’re just inviting mold issues. This has a very wide opening so the bottle itself is easy enough to clean. And the lid itself has a wide opening and there’s no confusing mechanisms to fail and/or get dirtied up; just rinse occasionally, wash here and there, let dry and be done. Too much to manage? Top rack this SOB. It’s too easy. And usability? I’m sorry I’m trying to drink from this when I’m thirsty, I’m not trying to crack a safe. This baby can be effectively operated with one hand from the closed and LOCKED position to fully open and drinking in barely one second. Let that sink in. With your little (insert brand here), you’re having to use two hands — one to unscrew a lid or a cap while you hold it with the other? Thanks but no. With this cup, I pick it up, I thumb down the lock, then I press the button and “POP!” The lid swings open and clicks itself out of the way while you drink. it barely stops short of just drinking it for you. It can’t get easier or better than this. (There are cons. But I love these things so much I have to put them in parenthesis so that you read it quietly and they don’t hear you. 1- the lids are not what I would call rough and tumble. they can take a few hits here and there, but eventually — maybe a handful of years like for me, maybe a handful of months for you — it’s gonna take a hard spill lid-first, heavy from a full tank of water, and the lid will crack open. Which, since the seal is sort of dependent on the presence and pressure created by the lid itself, really kinda puts a damper on things to say the least. 2- No hook or lanyard thing. I do wish it had handle I could attach a carabiner to like my [insert brand here]. I still prefer these though, and have gone back to them because they solve my main 3 requirements with such grace that the ‘niceties’ the other brands add to theirs can’t detract from their lack of commitment to the 3 main requirements).
Review: A great, easy to use water bottle. - I have had one of these for several years and it is used constantly every day. If I hadn't dropped it a few times I would not have needed to replace it. The plastic topper still functions but it had a few cracks and it's time to be replaced. The new one works the same way and seems to be fairly well identical. It does keep drinks very cold for a long time. The flip top is very easy to use. It also has a locking latch so it doesn't open accidentally. And the bottle seals perfectly with no leaking. The 18 Oz size fits perfectly in the bottle holders in my car.

A: Please provide a link for 2465 Replacement Flip-Top Lid  for 530ml (18oz) Thermos Hydration Water Bottle . That is, if you can find one.

**Q: Why is there such a big difference on price between this water bottle and the one with black lid? They look almost exactly identical.**
A: They are identical. I’m guessing it’s because of the color.

**Q: Anyone found a replacement?  please provide a link for 2465 replacement flip-top lid for 530ml (18oz) thermos hydration water bottle . that is, if y**
A: I did find a replacement a few years back. It was not through Amazon though. I think it was eBay or directly through thermos.

**Q: Ive used this model for over a decade now, best for hot, never leaks. will the older lids (from the dark gray hammered steel version) fit on these?**
A: I saw your question, and I believe that you mentioned the thermos was good for hot drinks?  It says on the wrapper that it is not for hot liquids, but that is what I want it for.  So I’m asking, can I use it for hot liquids?
