This is my second Gallon Gear sleeve. The first one I had was just fine and lasted over 4 years, but I wanted more pockets so I upgraded to the double pocket. I especially like how easy it is to wash. Since my water goes with me everywhere, the sleeve can get dirty and gross. I just pop it in the wash on cold, let it air dry and it's good as new. The plastic sleeve allows me to add a sticker to rep my boxing gym, and the red color allows to me to rep my political preference AND find it easily in a sea of water jugs at the gym. I get asked ALL the time about my GG sleeve, and I always recommend 5 out of 5 stars. Thanks GG for another great product!
