Thin walled, yet strong, this water bottle definitely has an edge as far as weight. I put it on our wood stove and was able to boil water. quickly! Very useful for camping trips to eliminate having to take both water and heating vessel. Very strong indeed, and I like the cover that helps keep your water cold will hiking in the heat. The folding handle on one of 2 caps supplied utilizes as a space saving feature, as well as works well with hot liquid, as does the case that keeps heat in. I wanted a metal water bottle that doesn’t leach into the taste of the water. I also wanted to get away from plastics that are not advised to leave in your car, especially during the hot of summer. Glad is fine, but it breaks and is heavy. I like my Valtcan Titanium Water Bottle very much. Great choice. #light/pure/heatable
