Your’re not planning on running with these, right?

Yes I want something I can carry
Run, boy, run
What's the point? Useless and expensive

A metal bottle seems like extra weight to carry with not much extra benefit. Are you wanting to keep ice longer in your bottle? If so maybe freeze some water in your bottle. Blocks of ice last longer than cubes or crushed ice but the cool slower. Carrying a metal bottle seems like it would be more of a pain because none seem to have a grip I’d like to carry for 2+ hours.
Many of us aren't sure what the hell point you are trying to make and no matter how we guess, it always seems to be something else. Which usually means a person is doing it on purpose.
