The 26 oz Stanley I bought looks cute but that's about as far as it goes. Ice melts overnight and isn't even cool the next morning on my nightstand. The Yeti Rambler can sit on a counter the whole day and still have ice, and always ends up being my go to.
Ive been using a simple Nalgene for years. US made & light weight. I don't care about keeping my water cold so I could care less about insulation but they do have insulating sleeves.
Can also fit more water in the same volume and don't have to worry about it denting when dropped 👍 been running a blue/pink 32oz for a while now and it's survived more abuse than any metal water bottle I've had.
Cordova I supposedly American made. At this point I have the yeti gallon jug, a big rambler, my wife and three kids all have a yeti water bottle as well. You are correct when you say they will last forever. They are really nice as well. I have zero complaints.
I tried Stanley , owala , and hydroflaks and I prefer Yetti still. Owala is cheaply made and always breaks and the ice doesn’t stay cold that long , hydroflask ice doesn’t last that long either
I notice all of the containers are metal inside, Jeff. I am curious...what are your thoughts on drinking out of metal interior containers vs plastic interior containers? Personally I do not like the taste of anything coming out of metal interior which is unfortunate because metal ones are stronger than plastic but I think plastic do not impart metallic tastes.
There are companies that make metal bottles that are coated in ceramic on the inside for this reason. Well... technically they're for coffee or wine because you can taste the difference a lot more due to the acidity of those beverages. Hydroflask has one, as well as the brand Fellow. Others might have one too, but those are thes ones I know of.
I have more than one size YETI and drink out of one of them everyday. I’m not interested in making a fashion statement for any product so long as it does the job it claims to no mater where it’s made.
A midwest hardware chain (Theisen's) often has Yetis on major sale or clearance and that's where I've gotten mine. At the time, Yeti was the only brand that advertised being dishwasher safe, so that's largely why I bought them. Nowadays they all say they're dishwasher safe.
Ive got a hydro flask I've been using for a while now, I like it but maybe a bit thin gauge steel. Im following to hear if there's any US made alternatives. That yeti does seem nice though.
Been using my Finnish military canteens from Savotta for the better part of 5 years now. Perfect seal with no o-ring and great form factor. Other than that it's Klean Kanteen.
I have a few but never would spend the money on yeti. The thing is I can’t remember any of the brands I own. I think I remember yeti brand because of squatch criptid bs and the ridiculous price. I like the Stanley your wife gave you, none of mine have straws. Too bad we don’t make them here.
Lowe's carries Yeti, Stanley and now they got the Kobalt version. Yeti was overpriced (as always), Stanley is sill $$ but more reasonable. And Kobalt? Kobalt is the in-house tool brand for Lowe's, so who knows.
I cna agree a simple playtic water container works well I just prefer it to stay cold for longer so I deal with the extra price and a LOT of extra weight...
0:20 Is this the same wife that tried to start a fight after another car bumped into your new Japanese car‽ and then after you purchased said new car you complained about having no money. Seems like you are living beyond your means. This Stanley thing is only for the lower class.
Hi Jeff, I'd like to get in touch with you (I don't have instagram). Regarding a few custom Blades I'd like to sell or maybe trade. Let me know if you are interested and how we could private message. I'll write a paper letter if I have to! Peace
