I’ve found that this Yeti (different sizes) is damn near indestructible. I have no idea what day to day situation you could be in to break this.

Yeah I did see these when I was searching but came across a few reviews that said they were quite weighty and don't want to add too much extra to my childs back pack.

Thanks for the suggestion

If you want indestructible, gotta have some trade offs.

Yetis are great but they're not indestructible.

A good enough drop or toss can break the cap or dent the threaded part of the metal and render the seal unreliable.

Metal is going to get dented.

Plastic gets scuffed up also

I guess as long as it's all cosmetic it doesn't matter

Same is true with metal. I also prefer metal over plastic for health reasons.

I prefer all metal for health reasons too (also because I drink hot liquids I want to keep insulated)

Definitely Yeti. Have had mine for six years and have dropped it on concrete/rock more times than I could count. Just one dime sized dent on it. The newer ones aren’t so heavy, but definitely more so than other options. Nalgene does not insulate so you can’t leave it in the sun or put hot liquid in it, which renders it useless imo. Hydro flasks dent all to hell, but I believe they’re cheaper than Yeti.
