My GF bough one of these about a year ago. She left it on the roof of her car and it flew off broke the lid and dented it so that the threads are messed up. I am going on 9 years with a $10 nalgene style bottle. seems to be doing just fine. it has flown off forklifts and down hilly trails alike and no major damage other than usual wear and tear. If you have a functional Yeti no need to buy another.
