When it may not be suitable

This bottle may not be suitable for long-duration expeditions where a larger water capacity is required, as its 236.6 ml volume is limited. It is also not designed as a vacuum-insulated thermos, meaning it will not maintain the temperature of hot or cold beverages for extended periods.
