(More customer reviews)Excellent size -- about the same as a 16 oz bottled water (but in fact 18oz) -- and the way the lid extends out so you can attach a clip to your belt is very sturdy and perfectly sized so that your water bottle will hang perfectly against your waist, neither too snug nor too loose. (You must buy your own clip.)
The acrylic "straw tip" that you touch to your lips is solidly built, and long enough so that you won't bump your nose while drinking. The straw tip connects to a softer plastic straw that descends to the bottom of the jar so you do not have to tilt it to drink.
The transparent design of the jar makes it easy to see how much water you have left, and the opening is large enough to put ice into, and it is easy to clean.
One problem. If you take this with you from the outdoors into your (hot) car, and then after driving a few blocks try to take a drink, water will shoot out of the straw like a geyser as the pressure equalizes. There's a little air valve that looks as if it is meant to keep this from happening, but, it happens. (When heated, air expands, which creates pressure to push out the water at the first chance it gets.)
I like the bottle so much otherwise, that I am keeping it, but I am remembering to be very careful when opening it for the first time after having been in my car. (There's no way to stop it from happening, but, you can aim it at a plant or something.)
