Wow those bottles are very new
I want to see if manufacturers have improved their designs thanks to videos like this!
This guy never identifies a winner. What’s the point of all these tests?
Next time you should try and account for the difference in the volume of liquid the bottles can hold. Because obviously more water means more thermal mass. Still an interesting video tho
"Aqua Ticks?"
How do you NOT have The Coldest Water Bottle in this test ??????????? Crazy
Are any of them NOT made in China? I dont buy anything from China.
Wow. It looks like we need a made in America brand.
made in china goddam garbage
Thermos hack-
If your thermos has a coffee stain ya cant get off just fill with water and drop in one or two efferdent denture tablets
Zojirushi AND Thermos .. Best water bottles on earth.
You know, oddly enough, China is made in the US.
Why can’t someone just make an insulated bottle with Styrofoam between the layers? I guess that would make things too easy
Swell bottles. They seem to keep drinks colder longer. Please add them to your test!
Love the theme? Made in China x 14….how disheartening.
Great vid. Can’t believe Yeti did so poorly with keeping up with competition. They’ve really fallen off the past few years. Looks like I’ll be replacing mine lol
Can these things go in the dishwasher
I have a few of the Under Armor ones and it does keep things cold for a while. I like it better than a lot of these because you can drink without unscrewing it, and also because it has the rubber grip. I’ve broken a few lids but they sell replacements for like 10 bucks. Also, I would’ve been interested to see a weight vs capacity chart in this, and maybe a diameter measurement to see if it can fit in cupholders and such. Great video as always!
When he read the Stanley label, and it said Stanley bottles have survived speeding bullets, I was so hoping to hear, "We’re gunna test that!"
Thank you so much for the proper review!
Sick of MADE IN CHINA bullshit… Come on America… wise the hell up‼️
Wont shatter, we’re gonna test that
I’ve put my 20 oz and 16 oz Stanley’s through hell, – 40 °c plus windchill and still had warm coffee 8 hrs later, and that was drip coffee without preheating. If you preheat a stanley, you can’t drink it till at least 5 hrs later, or just open her up and pour a cup out. Life time warranty means lifetime, going on 8 years now, the bottoms are beat to crap and a few dents in the sides, but hey they still stand up right so good to go.
Can you do coolers next? I’ve heard stories about how hunters in the desert using a Yeti cooler, that still have ice in it at the end of the day. Now, I’m doubting that. I’m shocked Yeti did so poorly here.
In the middle 1970’s I bought a Stanley wide mouth thermos and a Thermos brand regular narrow mouth thermos. I’m retired from the U.S. Forest Service and except for 7 years in management worked my whole career in the field. I used both products for lunches even during my time in management. I used the Stanley for soups and chili. I used the Thermos for cold and hot drinks. All contents were prepared in the morning for consumption mid day. After retirement neither product has been used much at all.
Both products were dropped numerous times. Both are much heavier than these water bottles. Both look like they could survive another entire career, at least. I had to replace the stopper and cup on the Thermos once during my career. The wide mouth stopper and cup on the Stanley lasted the entire career. Stanley might cost a little bit more, but due to my experience I would say it will cost less in the long run due to durability. I would have bought the Stanley for a narrow mouth bottle, but it was too long to fit into my lunch box, so I bought the Thermos brand as it fit. I highly recommend both products.
I have six one quart Hydro Flasks and six 28 oz. Klean Canteens. Some of the Kleans have been dropped on their bottoms onto a concrete floor and don’t stand level anymore. I haven’t found a way to pound them out to level them up again. It seems like I do more harm than good when attempting such. I’ve dropped one Hydroflask onto concrete as well and it held up much better.
Had I watched this video prior to purchasing all of these bottles I would have gotten all Stanleys as long as they fit in my refrigerator standing up. Long term durability almost always makes more expensive products cheaper in the long term.
I wonder if they’re made in china?
YETI ofcourse is an overpriced piece of crap.
I have a RTIC 1 gallon insulated jug, it only cost me $40, and there was still ice in it after I left it in my car for 3 days in the summer.
Edit: Their 20oz bottles only costs $16.
I feel disgusted to be an American. Every single thing we own has been outsourced to China. They live in terrible conditions and sacrifice themselves so we can have our commodities. The companies are all guilty because they choose to use their cheap labor for higher profits but we are also guilty because we keep paying for the products. Very sad.
Corkcicle! I resisted buying this type of drink container for a long time concerned about quality. My gf had a corkcicle which did a great job of keeping things hot or cold, but I still resisted. Then one day I dropped hers off a small cliff. It fell about 20ft and landed right on the edge of a pointy rock. It was fine with only a small dent. I bought one and have been happy since.
Pls make a video about bags for outdoor
Incredible channel
Your videos are so relevant to my lifestyle
Why so many hydro flask brands?
Expressly because of this video, I bought a Coleman 40oz bottle. It’s the best water bottle I’ve ever owned. Unlike others that have the fold out straw thing going on, the Coleman lid is perfectly leak-proof, flows easily and is easily cleanable. The rubberized bottom with a plain steel "bumper" is also excellent. It doesn’t slip or damage surfaces you place it on. If you’re carrying it, it’s usually the bottom edge that slams into things, so the extra protection is great. I’ve had it for almost a year, and it’s held up like no other.
Thanks for the video, sir.
That Coleman is now $25 on Amazon. I think this vid has something to do with it.
I wonder how pelican would have done
Should have mentioned which have aluminum and which ones are all steel.
Made in China. Fuck that!
I have a hydroflask that I have dropped a few times. It dents pretty easily, but it still works and doesn’t leak.
This was stellar! Thank you 🙂
Surprised they didn’t include Camelback
COFFEE TRAVEL MUG TUMBLER 20 FL OZ PLEASE 🙏🏻
🤜🤛👍
Anyone have the liner disintegrate and seem to flake off? My Hydraflask did.
I was bothered to know i was drinking the chrome coating.
I love watching these comparisons, but it really sheds light on how everything is made in China. It’s alarming.
Zojirushi!!! While not technically a "water" bottle, if your coffee is too hot to drink it when it goes in at 5am it will still be too hot to drink at noon. Worth a look. Top quality content on this channel.
Yeti sucks you will never see me buy one of those. They are like Starbucks overpriced for crappy products. My tervis is better quality then yeti.
I was hoping there would be an Ozark trail one 😕
I use titan from articzone.
