Handle guide

Tumblers with a handle

COLDEST makes no 40oz tumbler: the sizes on either side are the 36oz and 46oz Limitless. Both have a built-in handle, a Sip (straw) lid, a Sports lid with a flip-up straw and a Chug lid, and a non-slip base that fits 99% of car cupholders. They stay ice-cold for up to 36+ hours* with the Sports or Chug lid closed. Pick the 36oz to carry lighter, or the 46oz to refill less often.

Why a handle

What the handle changes

From owners who carry theirs every day.

  • A white glitter Limitless with a white straw lid, held by its handle over the grass

    A big bottle you can grip

    An ergonomic handle sized to fit your hand, so even a full bottle is easy to carry.

    ★★★★★

    I tried a 36oz shaker bottle a while back but found it difficult to grip and handle because of my small hands, but the Limitless handle makes it so much easier to upgrade my hydration to a bigger bottle size.

    Fewer drops and dents

    Hook your fingers through it instead of squeezing a smooth bottle.

    ★★★★★

    A friend was sporting this cool water bottle with a handle and I wanted one. … The handle makes it so I don't drop the bottle as I've done with all my others, so no dents on my brand new bottle.

  • A blue COLDEST Paracord looped over a wrist and buckled under the lid of a light blue bottle

    Add a second handle

    A COLDEST Paracord sits under the lid ridge: over your wrist or clipped to a bag, and every lid still screws on.

    ★★★★★

    Due to nine hand surgeries I struggle holding on to things and with the holder, I can carry it on my wrist when I want.

  • Still fits the cupholder

    The handle sits on the upper part, so the tapered base drops into 99% of car cupholders on the 36oz and 46oz.

    ★★★★★

    I like the fact that the tapered end fits into cup holders. Perfect size handle on the upper part.

  • Cold all day

    Triple-wall vacuum insulation keeps drinks ice-cold for up to 36+ hours* with the Sports or Chug lid closed.

    ★★★★★

    Left my cup in the car, in FL, for a few hours. When I came back outside the cup was so hot to the touch that I had to hold it by the handle, but the water WAS STILL ICE COLD!!!!!

  • Every size has one

    From the 15oz to the 1 Gallon, every Limitless has a carry handle. The 32oz GO and the Universal are our handle-free bottles.

    ★★★★★

    My 95yr old Grandma love this bottle. Its the perfect size for her to handle.

In their words

What owners say about the handle

From reviews of the Limitless and the COLDEST Paracord.

  • ★★★★★

    I have been drinking more liquids and for the past year have looked for a large (40oz+) cup. … The thing that won me over was the 46oz capacity and you get a multitude of different lids.

    I was hesitant to order a large tumbler.. but this one is perfect. It fits in my cup holder and the handle makes it easy to carry.

    I like the design of this cup better than my Original Coldest Model because of the handle and the cup holder shape for the bottom half of the cup.

Questions

Tumbler with a handle: questions, answered

Sizes

Do you make a 40 oz tumbler with a handle?
No. Our sizes on either side of 40oz are the 36oz and 46oz Limitless, and both have a built-in handle, a Sip (straw) lid, a Sports lid with a flip-up straw and a Chug lid. Both fit 99% of car cupholders: pick the 36oz to carry lighter, or the 46oz to refill less often.
36oz or 46oz: which should I get?
The 36oz is the original all-day size. The 46oz holds 10oz more and is the most water per fill that still fits a cupholder, but it's tall and heavy when full, so in a shallow holder it can lean on sharp turns.
What is the biggest tumbler with a handle that fits in a cup holder?
The 46oz Limitless: its non-slip base fits 99% of car cupholders. The Limitless Gallon has a padded carry handle too, but at 128oz it's built to carry, not for cupholders.
Is there a smaller tumbler with a handle?
Yes. The 24oz Limitless is the lighter everyday bottle, and the 15oz is a coffee and tea cup. Both have a built-in handle and fit standard car, stroller and desk cupholders: in a tight console, turn the handle toward the open side.

Lids and cold

Does it come with a straw?
Yes. The 36oz and 46oz come with a Sports lid with a flip-up straw, a Sip (straw) lid and a Chug lid with a built-in fruit infuser. The 15oz and 24oz come with a Coffee lid, a Sip (straw) lid and a Chug lid.
Is it leakproof?
With the Chug or Sports lid closed, yes, both are 100% leakproof on the 36oz and 46oz, so the bottle can ride in a bag. On the 15oz and 24oz, the Chug lid is the 100% leakproof one. The Sip (straw) and Coffee lids are made for sipping upright.
How long does it keep drinks cold?
Up to 36+ hours* ice-cold with the Chug or Sports lid closed, thanks to triple-wall vacuum insulation, and up to 24+ hours* on the 36oz and 46oz with the straw lid open. Coffee and tea stay hot for up to 13+ hours*.

The handle

What if the handle feels loose?
There are two small screws under the handle. Tighten them clockwise with any small screwdriver until snug, without overtightening. If it still won't hold, contact our team.
Can I add a second handle?
Yes. The COLDEST Paracord fits COLDEST wide-mouth bottles, including the Limitless, the Universal and the GO. It slides on under the lid ridge, so every lid still screws on, and you can slip it over your wrist or clip it to a bag.
Do you make one without a handle?
Yes. The 32oz GO is our slim, handle-free bottle made for cupholders, and the Universal is our handle-free shaker shape. Both use the same triple-wall insulation.
Is it dishwasher safe?
We recommend hand washing to protect the finish and the insulation: printed, glitter, glow and glossy designs are not dishwasher safe. The Paracord can stay on in the dishwasher, but it dries faster off the bottle.
Can I personalize it?
Yes. Switch on Personalize on any Limitless page to laser-engrave a name or phrase: up to 25 letters and numbers, across the front, across the back or up the back. Personalized orders need 3 to 5 extra business days.
Is there a warranty?
Eligible drinkware bought from coldest.com has a limited lifetime warranty covering manufacturer defects, temperature retention and the leakproof guarantee. See the warranty page for details.
