Vacuum water bottle made in Thailand

I bought a Zojirushi SM-VH72 720ml insulated flask to replace my old Kleen-Kanteen confiscated by TSA, and was pleased to see it's made in Thailand. It's also amazingly effective at keeping water col, I filled it halfway with ice on Wednesday morning and it still had unmelted ice on Saturday afternoon.

Tiger makes a vacuum water bottle in Japan.

They make quality stuff. My Zojirushi SM-KHE48AG, also made in Thailand, and purchased October 15, 2016 has been dropped on pavement multiple times, dented, the paint is chipped, and it still keeps my coffee piping hot all day. Other bonuses: it's stainless steel on the inside (no coating) and you can buy replacement parts for it directly from Zojirushi.

I absolutely LOVE these!  Amd easy to use one-handed.

I bought neoprene sleeves for them, both to insulate them better, and to better protect them when I clumsily drop them.
