carrying this butter when it's full is like a mini work out of its own! I received this as i gift with my order and I'm actually quite impressed with it. It is only thin plastic but the handle is actually quite a decent size and I can hold on to it properly without being uncomfortable. The metal lid on the top is a nice touch but I really appreciate the fabric that is attached to the lid and round the neck of the bottle so when you remove the lid it doesn't have to touch the floor and you won't lose it. So far I've only taken this out on walks with me but I've had no spillages but obviously I cannot comment for anything more high intensity.
