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)
