Overview
A homebrewer making medium to large batches gets a PET plastic carboy that resists oxygen better than regular plastic. The plastic wall also protects against breakage, and the carboy is made for use during fermentation.
Plastic makes it lighter and safer to handle than glass. The seller says it should last through many batches if it is cleaned after each use. Closures and neck size are not given.
Who it's for
Homebrewers fermenting larger batches who want an unbreakable vessel. Brewers who prefer glass, or who want the closures in the package, should look elsewhere.

Performance notes
The thick PET wall slows oxygen reaching the beer during fermentation, and the plastic resists impacts that would crack glass. Cleaning after every use is what lets it last for many brews. The listing gives no cap or stopper details.
