Every week we pick two of our water bottles and have our staff members put them through the wringer. We’ll comment on the outcomes here (and encourage our clients to do the same!). This week, we’ve chosen our Velocity Sport Bottle and our two Wave bottles: Large Wave Water Bottle and Small Wave Water Bottle.
The Velocity Sport Bottle is great. Our staff has seen it for sale and in use all over the place. It’s a popular design that was well liked by our tester. She really liked the drinking spout (and locking lid) and the overall size of the bottle. The lid stayed locked, but at the same time it was easy to open on the go. What she didn’t like about this bottle is the lid composition. She said it seemed a little flimsy—but she also worked it hard during testing and didn’t have any problems with it.
Our Small Wave Water Bottle and Large Wave Water Bottle share a simple design, with some nice touches. Our tester liked the angled finger hole on the bottles. She also liked the rubber accents on the lid—she thought it makes the bottles feel substantial and more expensive. The lids screwed on easily and tightly. She did feel like the bottle lips were a little awkward, as though they didn’t curve down on themselves enough. She also noticed a very faint metal smell the first time she used the bottles. This is somewhat common with all stainless steel bottles, though.
Have you seen our Thermal Insulated Water Bottle? If not, you have to check it out. This one’s styled after the uber-popular S’well bottle, making it at once trendy, classic, AND customizable!
