This slimmed-down version of the classic Thermos design features a screw-plug lid with pour spout (open the lid a bit and you can pour liquid out) and an exterior screw lid that doubles as a cup. Available in silver or blue, it's better for desk work, where filling and drinking from the accompanying cup is a reminder to hydrate, than for anyone who doesn't want to interrupt physical activity for more than a moment. As for us, we welcome the interruptions as a chance to take a breather.
The lid was a bit rattled in our drop test, but functioned as normal; the lid's hard plastic was visibly scuffed. The base lacks the plastic bumper of some Thermos models. In terms of its insulation, the Raya outperformed all other bottles in our chill test, keeping cold water at 54 degrees in a hot car for four hours.
