Is the material any tougher than the Elements bottle?

I haven't used an Elements bottle, but the Vapur bottles are made of a very strong material. I haven't been very gentle with mine and it's still in great condition.

A little, not much. I used mine 3 days a week for 2 months at work (desk job) before it started leaking. The leak was in the usual place- on the top where the bag is sealed around the rigid opening

I would say yes. Its typical hard plastic and I am still loving it, had it over a year now : )

It's a tougher plastic, but a very small drill bit and you will have a super super Mario tree! Share pics if u go for it!!

I have 3 of these bottles. I have had them for around a year each. I'm a little rough with them, walking miles with them most days, throwing them in my car when I'm in a rush. I even freeze water in them often, and on none of them has the lid worn, the sides cracked, or really any sign of wear shown. It's only been a year, but they've done very well so far.

It is soft, but I've dropped it many times and it has never cracked. This is the sturdiest water bottle I've ever had.

Harder plastic, hopefully lasts longer. also does not stain easily from tomatoes being heated.

I would say it's tougher than Dockers without a doubt. I have found the material to be very comfortable in summer and winter and to be of a good strong material, soft yet strong.

It is not a Nalgene. But, it is by no means cheap...it is very solid. I've dropped mine several times on the asphalt, took it hiking several times and it still looks mostly new. I love this bottle! I got it because I wanted something I could throw on a fire if I needed to purify water and this bottle is definitely up to the challenge.

It feels more aluminium. I use it for the gym, it is strong.Just make sure you dry the inside as mine has started to form black specs from lack of drying. my fault not the bottles.its a very good product.

NO. Its thin and brittle. I bought two. First one I thought might have been my fault (it wasn't) Second time it cracked and flooded my kitchen. It's a good idea with poor execution. I bought a 3 gallon glass bottle. Heavy but won't break unless I'm a real knucklehead!

no, not at all. I've had one I've used for five years. The plastic seems a bit more flexible, and doesn't seem to crack.

Yes to me it's much stronger a more durable you can get more details at www.chemicalguys.com or check out on YouTube.

Found the grade on their website: food grade type 304 18/8 stainless steel. No aluminum and it is not lined with plastic. We use glass bottles but were traveling and wanted something more sturdy. Bonus that it converts to a sippy cup (baby is still trying to figure it out though, you really need to suck to get anything out). I'm happy with this purchase so far, but haven't had it long enough/used it enough yet to write a proper review. Hope this helps :)

Yes these are more durable. When I brought one I thought I would have to cover it with plexiglass. But that's totally unnecessary, because the solar cells are already covered with an 1/8:inch of plexiglass. I will be mounting it directly to the roof of my camper van.

Miranda, it's a glass bottle, but one that won't shatter if you drop it. It's thick.

Yes. The mesh is elastic and has held up extremely well during two years of daily use, continuously carrying a water bottle in the side pocket. It seems to be just as good as it was when I first bought it, so Osprey has used some good material to allow this thing to last like it has. I have not used it much in the rain, but it seems like it would hold up fine in light rain for a short period of time. I would not expect it to hold out a downpour on a day hike though.

If you are thinking the hardness of schedule 40 PVC pipe as in the type your would buy from a home depot then no it is not that unforgiving. It is durable enough to withstand a rambunctious baby. It has a matte texture so it is smooth enough and not catchy on delicate skin like a gloss surface would so baby can slam, skim, skid his/her hands on the table top and not get any skimmed hands or elbows (if you know what I mean). It has not broken on me or shown any of those white stress lines you would find in bending plastic. Otherwise, it is the best I can describe it as the instructions do not specify why type of plastic (or its components/percentages) it is made from. If you know what one of those plastic cars or wagons for little children that they go in and drive. It feels like that - think of it more like that only in thicker layers. - enough layers that it will now bow under decent pressure. I hope that gives a better idea. For what it's worth, I would not hesitate buying it again over the metal rod/bungee types. He loves this thing and loves it even more now he is better at sitting and standing. I retracted the stabilizing legs so the saucer can wobble now and he goes crazy for it!!
