Product Description
If you’ve spent much time on the trail, you know that the old standard for water transportation is the classic Nalgene, but what if you could switch out that old piece of plastic for a titanium model with almost half the weight? Boasting an empty weight of only 3.9 oz and solid enough to withstand any camp calamity, the Vargo Titanium Water Bottle with Ti Lid brings your water receptacle up to same level as the rest of your gear Read More

First, this bottle is $59.50 on Amazon which may be worth considering if you have Prime and don't pay for shipping.
Second, Amazon has a listing for very similar titanium bottle (Healthpro) sold by 47th St. Photo that is $49.50 and says "Titanium" in tiny letters no one would notice without close inspection. It also has a plastic cap which could be an advantage since one reviewer says the titanium cap on the Vargo is prone to thread-lock, makes an annoying noise, and creates titanium particles from metal-on-metal contact. (The Aazon listing says that the cap has been redesigned and the comment may be about the original design). Slightly larger 700 ml and heavier 4.4 oz
Guess it boils down to the plastic cap vs. titanium cap, and how you feel about the big "TITANIUM" and how quickly you want delivery.

I don't have a huge problem with the price. Look at components in the cycling industry made from ti and carbon—they make the price of this bottle seem reasonable. I would consider buying this bottle if it didn't have a HUGE "Titanium" stamp down the side. Very gaudy. And why would you want to broadcast the fact that your bottle is probably quite valuable and worth stealing? Design flaw IMO.

Dang, only 22oz capacity? I'd be all over this if there was a 36oz, or even better, 48oz version.

The huge "TITANIUM" bit on the product is a tragedy. I don't monogram my gear and barely tolerate manufacturer logos. Even if I was willing to shell out $$ for a bottle (which, let's face it, I very well might be...), there is no way I would rock a bottle that announces "TITANIUM" to anyone with a good eyeball.

TTX1I thought the same thing. I would probably buy it if it wasn't for that.

On Amazon right now for $50 free shipping (not prime)
I love these MassDrops, but you need to do better than break even with Amazon especially considering the shipping delays involved.

So now that I've received it...I'd like to give it a review.
Pros:
Durable, simple design, slender enough to fit into backpack water holders
Cons:
The texture is a huge flaw. The finish feels like a nail file. Putting your mouth on this is like licking a chalk board and if your tooth touches it, you'll feel violated.
The threads for the top to screw onto the bottle are poor and takes a little messing with to screw on in a hurry, and if it's dry, the bottle will make terrible screeching metal sounds when closing.
Overall it's not bad, but I would have only paid $25-30 for something of this quality and design.

Just bought one now, want to add a 100% Titanium Bottle to my collection thus far. Any moron can buy cheap plastic bottles to throw away later on land fill sites but this bottle, you keep for the rest of your life.

Accually, there are many things. It keeps liquids cool, like a thermos. It is durable because it is titanium. And most of all, it lacks toxins and carcinogens that go into your drinking water. You can drink plastic water bottle and ruin the environment, because you can't always recyle. Make sure to stop by the doctors office, because you probably already have stage 4 cancer.

I understand (wikipedia) that titanium alloy has a thermal conductivity of 5.8 W/mK vs stainless steel at around 20 W/mK... I am trying to justify spending $90 CAD on a waterbottle here... so help me out... :) Does this matter in practice with a titanium alloy bottle such as the Vargo? Otherwise I see no great benefit to the Ti alloy and cost. Granted the Ti bottle is 1/2 the weight saving around 100-150g. However compared to the water it carries, this is not significant. In terms of objective benefits the only other benefit I can see is possibly thermal conductivity, the ability to keep the liquid either cool or warm longer compared to stainless steel? considering the thin wall of water bottles, I'd like to know if this is a significant enough benefit of Ti over steel to be worth the additional cost of 2x-3x. thanks.

Titanium actually has a very slightly higher specific heat than stainless steel, requiring more energy to raise its temperature. The thermal conductivity refers to how fast it conducts heat, so titanium would conduct much slower. If the fluid in the titanium changes temperature faster, it is due to it being substantially thinner.

I'd rather buy 74 plastic water bottles from dollar store. At least I can choose different colors and designs I want.

gkstates@gkstates @growl3r As you, and I'm sure everyone else can tell, a lot of the price is from the materials it's made from.
Regarding the point that you can buy $x.xx item that does the same thing, so can people who purchase really nice and expensive things (cars, bags/purses, watches, etc.) On a more practical point, there are people that need/want the lightest they can get. And as the selling points point out, you can use it more differently than a plastic (or aluminum) bottle (hold hot liquids or even boil with it if you really needed to, hold a variety of liquids, be a lot more durable).
Would I buy this? No. Do I think it's outrageous for the price? No, it's not made for me and people in the market like me.

$75 for a......Water bottle? I get that it's made out of Titanium, but man that's expensive for something that a less then $10 bottle can cure pretty easily, a desire for water on the trail.
