Thermos Stainless Steel Vacuum Insulated Bottles

Before leaving the house, first thing I would do is bring cold water. Nothing satisfied my thirst better than iced cold water. The problem with all those plastic water bottles is they would become warm before you even have a chance to drink them. Then I would have to spend $1+ for a cold water bottle (which you can get 24 bottles for $4 from the supermarket) and not drinking the water bottle that I brought from home. The longer I stay outdoor the more money I have to spend on water bottles. Not to mention plastic water bottles can give out harmful chemical when leaving in a hot car for a while.


…until I found that the same company (Thermos Nissan) that makes Thermal insulated bottles that I have been using to keep hot water for my new baby can also be used to keep cold for 24 hours. But the size is a little too big to carry around. I did some searching on Thermos website and found one (Vacuum Insulated Hydration Bottle (2465)) that fit perfectly… for me at least. It holds 18 ounces of water and can also fit in car cup holders. This bottle can only keep cold for 12 hours. They don’t recommend putting hot water in there since it is designed to drink just like a regular bottle. The top just pop open when you push the button on the side. You can open it with just one hand. I bought 2 and I have been using it every day even when I’m home.

Features and Specifications: (from Thermos website):
  •          TherMax® double wall vacuum insulation for maximum temperature retention
  •          Hygienic push button sipper lid with locking ring
  •          Comfortable rubber grip
  •          Sweat proof design won't leave water rings
  •          Fits most automotive cup holders
SPECIFICATIONS

  •          Capacity: 18 oz
  •          Dimensions: 2.5" W x 2.5" D x 10" H
They also have 24 ounce bottle but it won’t fit in car cup holder. Take a look at their website for other vacuum insulated bottles and mugs. Do read the description carefully since they also do make non-insulated bottles.
