Favorite sports bottle with noisless cap and insulating sleeve?

I'm trying to find some sports bottles with insulated sleeves for my kids to take to gymnastics, soccer and to tuck into the water bottle holder on the sides of their book bags.

We have a SIGG and I don't like it. The cap that you have to push down on is really hard for my kids to use and, I have to jam ice cubes down into the small mouth opening. Also, the designs are super cute but, the bottles sweat terribly so we need a sleeve - with a sleeve, the design doesn't matter.

Also, I've checked out some reviews of sports caps for stainless bottles and some seem to make a "chirping" sound or leak. This wouldn't be good for a school environment.

So, does anyone have a recommendation for a water bottle with a sports cap that doesn't make noise, doesn't leak and has an insulating sleeve?

Your best bet would be either a Polar Bottle or a ThinkSport. The Polar Bottle is BPA-free plastic. It's insulated but doesn't stay cold for a super long time. The ThinkSport is double walled stainless steel - it stays cold for a long time and doesn't squeak when opened or closed (also BPA-free). I really love both of the bottles but the ThinkSport stays cold much longer. If you want more options, search for water bottle showdown on my blog.

My kids both have thermos brand bottles with an insulating sleeve, they are stainless steel, and easy enough for my 3 year old to use.

Do you have the one with the straw? I can't find a Thermos bottle with a sports cap anywhere???

The Thermos Foogo Straw cup may work for your kids.

It is insulated, so a sleeve is not needed. The cups don't sweat at all. Ours still have ice after 10 hours, even when left in the hot car.

I like the straw - my kids can open the lid easily, without putting their hands all over the part you drink from.

The straw does not make any noise. We also have Klean Kanteen with a Built NY sleeves, with a sports top. Great cups, but the sports top does make the chirping noise when you use it.

No, mine has the sports cap. Here is a Japanese page with it. I'll try and find it on an English page as soon as my DCs leave for school.

Oh wow! That's perfect! I'm going to try to search for them but if you happen to know a US supplier, I'd be so grateful!
