Let me throw in my opinion..... NOT RECOMMENDED! Tritan (the material these glasses are made of) appears to be the perfect pool side companion. IT IS NOT.
A known flaw in this material is that (at least) some suntan lotions etch it. A dear friend had on suntan lotion one afternoon, at wine-thirty, and this photo shows the net effect of suntan lotion her wine glass......perpetual fingerprints.
If anybody knows of a more bullet-proof poolside product, we are all ears.
I had wondered about those glasses. Maybe if you could get one in a matte finish? Sand blast the outer surface to achieve it and eliminate the fingerprint problem?
My kids love diving sticks and rings and I even have a good time with them occasionally too. One of those things I have to train my kids to get out of the pool when they're done swimming though... Our pool noodles will be going on their 3rd season. Granted we have short summers but they are always kept in the shade of our deck.
I'm looking for a good semi-outdoor portable bluetooth speaker for next summer as well.

So I saw these wine glasses at Whole Foods last week -- almost bought them. I hesitated because they are glass, albeit protected glass. LIFEFACTORY Large Wine Glasses, 4 Pack, Assorted Colors | West Marine. They come in two sizes -- 17 oz. and 11 oz. I'd prefer the smaller size in order to monitor how much I've had!!!
Here's a Yeti product that could work for poolside wine, mojitoes, etc: YETI Rambler Lowball Tumbler, 10 Oz. | West Marine

Hmmmm.... I like those, but not sure I can sway SWMBO.... gonna try....
We have these wine glasses http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/certified-international-acrylic-hammered-glass-goblet-in-clear-set-of-12/1044439231?skuId=44439231&mcid=PS_googlepla_nonbrand_outdoorutility_&adpos=1o4&creative=43742648869&device=c&matchtype=&network=g&gclid=Cj0KEQiAtri0BRDLoaCF95e7o_sBEiQA_pgRQ_T6bDqSZMWmgcYHtxqWJj4KmiD7iOtJc_vZrUMKqT0aAm0O8P8HAQ and love them. I don't know if you're looking for stemless or not, but I am very fond of stemmed acrylic for poolside. We have something similar for martinis.
Helen, I like the ones you found at Whole Foods! My youngest son, who has many thing Yeti, doesn't like the fact that the lowball tumbler doesn't come with a lid. And once you buy the lid, it's the same price as the larger one!
If you get the ones from Whole Foods, let me know how they work out. Love the idea of being able to use glass.

Marla, if your son has a 20 ouncer, he has a lid because they are interchangeable! We had a boat for years, and I am not fond of drinking wine from plastic wine glasses -- it just doesn't work for me. Unsure how the SS would be -- maybe just as bad? For the record, I am perfectly fine drinking wine out of super cheap BBB glasses -- like the $20/12 variety!! So the small Lifestreams are promising. And I like that I can get different colors!
Helen, yes the Yeti lids are interchangeable, but if he is using it for his 20 ouncer, then there isn't an extra lid available for the tumbler. Just seems kinda cheap on Yetis part not to include a lid!
I am also not fond of drinking wine from plastic, so the Lifefactory glasses really look appealing. Since your pool will be done before mine, you get to be the guinea pig!
