I purchased both the Cosmos and Built Neoprene two bottle tote in order to compare them. I'm disappointed to find not much difference. What little difference I did notice I will detail here. I suspect most people who are reading this will make a choice over style and price. Functionally, they serve equally well, to carry, protect, and preserve, under most normal circumstances.
The Cosmos tote was slightly cheaper to purchase. It sports a square top with a white border and red interior. The Built bag appears with a rounded top, matching color border and navy interior for the black one I got. The panels on the Cosmos are held together with a standard small tight straight lockstitch or possibly a blindstitch, whereas the Built utilizes (what I can only guess with my limited sewing knowledge) is some type of large zigzag lockstitch. The overall feel you get is that the Built bag is a slightly higher stitching quality, but since this isn't neoprene design for swimwear, it won't really matter for durability purposes, neither of these bags are likely to unravel before you get your $10 worth of use out of them. The handle hole is slightly larger on the Built, but since these are almost entirely made of neoprene, they will stretch anyway.
The only real functional difference I found between them was when I put wine bottles in them. Using identical bottles, the Cosmos bag had a slightly tighter fit than the Built. I can pull one bottle out while the other bottle weighs the bag down with the Built. Pulling on one bottle in the Cosmos, I can lift the bag and the other bottle. This is good and bad, for both bags. the same results occur when I lay down the bottle bags, and flip it upside down. Amazingly, the Cosmos bag will just about hold the bottles even upside down, though barely, I wouldn't make a habit of it. The same bottles in the Built will simply slide out.
The Built bag will be slightly more convenient to remove the bottles out of, however, a slightly higher risk of accidentally sliding out, though under what circumstances you would allow the bag to be flipped upside down is questionable.
