The CULT of Hydro Flask 

This is a great mentality i think. If one already has a hydroflask that they love, then its best for the environment if they just keep it for as long as possible instead of buying a KK or something else.

Honestly, I didnt get the hype behind hydroflasks bc i was perfectly fine using my Yeti Cup Alternatives like RTIC, Yukon Outfitters, and the Walmart brand Ozark Trail bc all i wanted was refreshingly cold water. That is, until i found out they had a wide mouth lid you can disassemble (the one with the silicone gasket) so you can thoroughly clean it. Ive always wondered why brands like contigo whos been making reusable bottles for years hasnt done so yet! Hydro did it right. To be fair though, i still feel my tumblers keep my water colder for longer periods but the hydroflask wide mouth lid comes with that really useful handle too.

You sound like an ad

@@user-vi4xy1jw7e word of mouth is the best unpaid ad

This sounds like a fake review youd see on the hydroflask website

Honestly if it gets someone to stop using plastic bottles we're here for it. 🙏🏻

You call them co-op? Where do you live? لا تقول الكويت 😶

@@user-ov2fc5sd1e they likely meant REI.

i wonder how many plastic bottles you could make with the energy that goes into a steel insulated thermos

@@masonheipel Imagine how many plastic bottles you save from using a single steel water bottle. think of it that way, you are producing less waste, then it is very much better.

That’s wild

I loved my TAL Walmart bottle! Unfortunately mine lost its vaccuum and no longer keeps things cold, but I used it for years.

yeah it will but the others looks better, and functions far better in numbers

"been hit by a car" 🤣

@@Andy-fg7hm lol well I was holding it when hit by a car.

Liza this is awesome! Fun fact, levi got his klean kanteen from a lost and found!

@@FutureProofTV wait, you can get stuff from lost and found??! Omg I just got new ideas!

I found mine on the side of the road! Sanitized it and bought a new cap and it's good as new.

I'll get one when it shows up at my local thrift store.

😕

I hope your life is getting better 🙏

Hope you are doing fine

why do you need several of them?

@@cortaditas when did they say they needed several???

Isn’t the point kinda that you DON’T need to keep buying it?

you can get silicone sleeves for them now

Did I not drop my glass bottle at the tuck shop💀😢 But it was like 12 bucks this side from pep. Like less than a dollar in the states😂

@@potatopotatoeOG South African? 🤣

That’s why own a black hydro, it goes within every outfit (obviously I’m joking, it was the only colour in the size I wanted that my local outdoor store stocked). The same is true for tote bags and other reusable shopping bags, you have to use them for years for them to be better than single use plastic bags. If you own one and forget it when you go shopping, it’s probably better to get a plastic bag and remember to bring your reusable one next time than to keep buying cotton totes.

I got my hydro flask 9 years ago and still use it literally every day. I swapped out the lid for a different style but besides that it's been great. even if I'm not breaking even by now on environmental impact I like having cold water with me and I'm always going to have one.

Reducing the disposable plastic does a lot for the environment

@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess it does, but treating reusable things like they’re disposable is even worse. They are more resource intensive to produce so you need to use them for a long time and not replace them every year or so.

@@ninamarie177 Sadly the company will want to sell more and more, specially since it was sold to a corporation, so they likely will support the idea of people buying multiple bottles. People need to be aware of the main reason for these bottles in the first place. That's one of the foes of our consumerist society I for myself have cut all disposable product's from my life, disposable pens, cups, bottles, specially straws. When I found out the harm disposable plastic products cause to the environmental and specially marine ecosystems and wildlife

@@chhoyla naw, the store by my house sell used yeti and hydro flasks all the time. People buy them and then dint use them all the time. I know a girl from my school who has like 10 of them.

@@chhoyla "no no no there's no WAY those thrift store bottles can be hydroflasks, you're just a hater" What a wild assumption...

@@fakename287 what a wild assumption to assume their logic is flawed. my goodwill has shitty water bottles, what gives you the right to deny my precedent despite it being fact?

There's a big difference between the reusable metal ones being in thrift stores and disposable plastic products being in the ocean or in nature

@@RusticRonnie That's another issue people who buy multiples like a collection. Same thing happened with hydrojug it makes zero sense.

Wouldn't a generic thermos from a tourism store do the job just as well?

@@Sasha-zw9ssNo, they don’t.

@@Sasha-zw9ss I wouldn't expect them to. There are huge differences between the cheaper bottles and the best ones. I have a one for going outdoors and it performs a lot better than the bottles you can find in most supermarkets. There's a difference in the vacuum (they're not all equally empty), and the top of the bottle + the lid design are very important to keep the temperature stable. This can be very important depending on the conditions you're in, like drinking water at 40°C during a heatwave vs a more normal 5 to 20°C you'd usually get from tap water. Or just to keep your tea hot longer because you somehow forget you even had hot tea, but who would do that?

@@LutraLovegood It's just my experience, although true, our climate is not that extreme (in winder it doesn't get below -20 that often). In like -10 to -15, mine keeps the tea hot for enough time.

@@SophisticatedDogCat I mean - I have spent alot of time in the Aus outback where it regually gets to like 45C or more and I found the $15 AUD Woolies waterbottle that I got (didn't realise at the time but it turned out to be a insulated bottle) works pretty much as well And it has better survivability - my Cousin has the same bottle as me and her bottle has fallen down mountains etc and survived fine - something I wouldn't dare test with an expensive bottle like Hydroflask - the other thing is the lid is steel as well which I don't think Hydroflasks are and that steel lid has been a bottle saver many a time.

Damn, that's a point right there if I've ever read one. Part of me wonders if thinking too hard about what you should and shouldn't own is healthy. I've stressed about choices to the point I've bought both options just to stop thinking about it.

All i gotta say is that i finally hopped on the hydro bandwagon bc the wide mouth with the handle can be disassembled and thoroughly cleaned. Great value and easy to replace when needed. Ive broken so many of the lids of other alternatives and wondered why RTIC, Yeti, Yukon Outfitters, KK, and Contigo havent made a proper disassembling lid thats easy to clean.

apples prices really don't work that way for me, all i see is "damn thats like 2-3 months rent, well nevermind"

Same thing for me, but i use my thermos to carry iced cold drinks around school, and it’s great having something cool to drink throughout the day

Late but his is my view on it. The '63 hours cold' is less about having something cold in 62 hours, and more about having something relatively colder in like 3 hours. Same can be said for hot.

Wait...you could drink miso soup like water in a bottle?

@@nono-qj9pm Hydro Flask also do Jar. You can carry a miso soup in them or hot/cold meals. I would suggest to buy two. So you always have one ready when the other is in the dishwasher.

@@auggieaxiom5726 you're clearly not English or Asian :p Luke warm tea is minging.

Same here mate. Literally learned about this today. Had I known at the time, I'd have probably gone for something else though: the lack of a 3d-party certification of their environmental claims is a tiny bit shady imho. But now I have it, it works really well, it's sturdy, so I'll keep it for as long as it lasts.

@@cyberhaggis Same, just wanted a reusable water bottle that wasn't plastic. I'd have to say I hate the size though. Too big for the cup holders in my car so it goes into the back seat and I forget about it. Don't like carrying it with the handle because it's uncomfortable so it goes into a backpack. The upside of the size though is that now I have a spot that isn't in the trash for the stickers that come with stuff.

I did the same thing a few years ago myself. Dropped it on the street a grand total of once and it had a couple minor dings in it but it’s totally ok. Looks the part too! Plan to use it FOREVER! It’s a Hydroflask!

@SevnLi After more than 3 years, I think it’s safe to say it pays for itself!💪🏻💪🏻

@SevnLi I don't think that it's fair to assume that a cheaper bottle would have broken

I shelled out $8 for a water bottle 20 years ago, so what's your point?

@@cjfredericks omg you're so cool

Heck yeah! Use it until it dies or you do! haha

always follow the $$$!

This!

Glad you enjoy it Mike, and glad that you're not just another mindless consumer. 👍🏻

As a hiker how come you don't use a water bladder? Especially if the product you use is already plastic. You can but like 3-4L water bladders which is way more water than any reasonably sized bottle will hold.

@@ZeLoShady Voucing for this as someone who did Boy Scouts from 8th grade to Venture Scouts which I sadly am going to age out of this year, water bladders are goated. I’ve been using mine since I was like 14 and would never trade it for anything while hiking. I use a Sawyer filer that just splices into the line, never gotten sick so I guess it works well enough lmao.

@@SaddisticSpeller You can get ones that have integrated filters now.

I think a lot of people use cheaper plastic bottles in conjunction with filters. Especially the Ultra Light world loves that combo. I personally prefer wide mouthed steel bottles cause they’re really easy to refill in a stream. I do however judge people on short hikes with these fancy brand spanking new 0,33l plastic water bottles. I’ve seen way to many of these shitty things dumped in the bush.

@@ZeLoShady can't speak for Mitchell, but some people just prefer drinking from and holding bottles over a floppy bladder with tube.

Me too, it is still going strong.

That’s subjective given the cost for a Cosco and Sams club membership. At best, you can ask someone that’s already a member.

But no one complains about Amazon monthly membership. Costco is worth it once you buy every month .

You can find and buy water bottles like hydro flask and thermo flask at your local ross or tj max. Less than $10 a pop and functions about the same.

Yea bro I just get whatever is on sale at TJ Maxx, they work fine.

Never thought about the fact that they don't make flasks.. might be because a lot of minors use the brand as a social symbol. Good point though!!

bwhaha ! They don't make actually flasks... good pt

I double this. I don't have a hydroflask, I've just got a 24h rated vacuum double walled bottle that I liked, was cheap & was 100% recycled, but it means I always have cold water, I don't have to worry about tracking down or always having ice frozen, and my bottle is always (literally, always) cold. It reduces water wastage, and as an Aussie, I can leave it in the car, so that I always have a bottle of cold & fresh water on me. 40deg? No sweat, cold water in the car. Don't ask me how much waste that bottle has prevented me buying, by simple technology.

Hi I live in the UK where did you buy your hydro flask from ? 🇬🇧

Same here! It was also the only brand I could find with a straw/easy-drinking function at that size. I walk a lot in a hot/humid city with very few public water fountains, and even if I brought water on walks, I would have to buy bottled water at some point anyway. Now my water stays cold, I usually have enough to make it through a day out, and it also has a straw, which I love.

😂😂😂😂

i got a 64oz Iron Flask

That’s me!!

You can waste more time with smaller bottles by making refilling trips more frequent. ;)

@@GorgeousFortress I mean yeah I was aware of the bottle because it’s popular but it’s also the best water bottle I’ve ever had 🤷‍♀️ I’m not bothering to research water bottles, if people say it’s good I’ll try it out, you make it seem like buying popular things is some sort of moral failing

Thank you for Hydroflask! Been using mine for almost 3 years now. Keeps my frozen drinks frozen from 9 to 5. Amazing!

Woah, if it's really the real Travis, nice job! Your probably living that crazy life with all the money lol!

No, only some of the prior thermos bottles were metal and glass. I own Thermos bottles that are at least 30 years old and the vacuum construction is solely of steel. And medical field has been using vacuum bottles made of steel for a very long time. There's nothing new about this product.

@@thorkaiko9839 You are more than welcome :)

@@DamnAwesome Ha! Gold plated Helicopters and all of it!

For me it's a water bottle and my windproof umbrella. 😅

@mariegold The Kanken has a nifty water bottle holder that fits in the side pocket, and I can verify that it does indeed hold the 40oz Hydro minus the boot of course. 🙂

@@ericatorrez4122 Will check it out then when I plan to change my bag again 😊

What needs do you fulfill with 10 water bottles?

@@RaduRadonys I know that seems extreme. They all have a use for my family. Food jars, water, coffee, tea, etc.

I just keep my thermos bottle in my bag, it’s too inconvenient to carry around by hand anyways, and it’s big because it carries so much

Me going to work and getting my bottle the next day with ice. Had me thinking the ice was made of something not safe 😭

@@kevin-wo4rs 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

For me back in high school, I was just a bit surprised to see the next few days, you'll start seeing students carrying a hydro flask

Yeah. I love their products and their transparency.

I am asoa Miir fan and haven't paid anywhere close to full price on any that I own.

@@safromnc8616 Me too. Picked up most of mine from the secondary market.

Thank you for mentioning them! I'll check them out. It's a nitpicky thing but can't get behind Kleen Kanteen, because turning Cs into Ks creeps me out lol

I hadn't heard of Miir before and just looked them up and honestly they have the best looking steel bottles I've seen

Love Walmart’s Ozark Trail line!!! They have a 1 gallon stainless insulated jug that looks almost identical to the Yeti, for a fraction of the price!

Outdoorsy shit is a trend now. Thank social media lol

So what you drink? Even Fiji was was transferred using metal pipe.

@@arapaimagold8088 he means drinking from metal directly

It is not made of metal, they are made of stainless steel

@@khaliamorgan8933 Stainless steel is an alloy made of iron (a metal) and coated in chromium (also a metal) to prevent corrosion.

Around 2010 they had a booth at some snowboarding contests on Mt Hood. I still have two of them that were made in the US before they started making them in China.

When I started my job after the shut down, there was a crate filled with different water bottles and thermoses. It sat there for almost a year without anyone taking one.

i've lost many a water bottle when I first got a reusable one from costco with my friends . im proud to say i havent lost my yeti yet and have had it for 3 years

I think this may be a sales pitch... The only ones I've heard hyped are the LTT waterbottles... And that's not a brand of water bottle, but merch for Linus Tech Tips. The actual manufacturer is unknown, but the design was made by LTT's graphics designer. It seems to be in the neighborhood of what these others do, so I guess it's alright.

Oh wow! That's awesome! Thanks for leaving a comment 🙏🏻

Could done that with any other bottle

Sure but as I experienced others had not the same isolation quality, leaked or were heavier and 9 years ago not so expensive. Weight is still important in my job. A long considered decision for a long lasting item.

I found my 1 liter thermo bottle for 7 bucks :)

He's not criticizing you dude. This channel is about highlighting good brands, in the same way social media highlights the best marketing gimmicks.

Those Contigos can be SO hard to clean, totally agree there. Never thought about holding multiple bottles at once because of the handles! That's good to know. Simple is definitely better!

I have Camelbak Chute Mag 32oz/1l, lid is magnetized, easy to clean, great product.

That's why I stopped buying ones with flip tops for my kids.. they want smoothies and I don't want to clean the crevices

I’ve seen nalgenes marked as recycled material at work. There’s also steel bottles that are ceramic coated on the inside like purism or fellow’s coffee mugs.

Reusable plastic bottles are fine as long as the plastic is high quality and the user keep them out of the sun. They are best suited for room-temperature liquids, of course.

@@idraote No. They're not. Plastic particles found in bottled water - BBC News "Tests on major brands of bottled water have found that nearly all of them contained tiny particles of plastic. In the largest investigation of its kind, 250 bottles bought in nine different countries were examined. Research led by journalism organisation Orb Media discovered an average of 10 plastic particles per litre, each larger than the width of a human hair. Companies whose brands were tested told the BBC that their bottling plants were operated to the highest standards."

@@violetviolet888 one may hope that REUSABLE plastic bottles are built to different standards. Of course they might not be, but then again even stainless steel bottles will be dangerous if the manufacturer cuts corners. And there is no reason to assume that stainless steel bottle manufacturer are necessarily more ethical than reusable plastic bottle manufacturers.

my hydro flask barely keeps my tea warm for 4 hrs

Which is so annoying 😅🤣

Lol true! My mom couldn't even carry a water bottle she bought from Costco so I gave her my 24oz hydro flask, she seems to like it. Now debating if it's money worth to buy another one for myself or use the thermo bottle we have at home

I don't even like Apple, but they're objectively doing a lot better environmentally than any other phone/tech manufacturer

@@Ignacio.Romero In terms of what they do in-house, I can't disagree with you, they do pretty well on that front. The issue lays with their anti-repair practices. Apple does (at least until recently) everything in their power to stop the consumer from fixing their devices without going to an Apple store and paying nearly the price of a new product, which of course breeds incentive to not bother fixing a device and instead buying a new one. This of course results to most customers trashing their old stuff, which of course has a negative environmental impact. This coupled with the fact that many companies copy Apple's practices means that several other companies are also generating more customer e-waste directly because Apple could get away with it. TL;DR: Apple on paper has a low environmental impact, but because of what they force customers to do with their products after they break, as well as their influence on other companies' practices, their environmental impact is abysmal because they push customers to toss their old products into landfills. Not cool, both from a consumer and environmental perspective.

@@agsup "tl;dr i'm gonna take one true thing, something I don't like, and make a lot of baseless, unsupported assumptions from that."

Not even that funny. To be cackling

I got a Stanley Quick Flip and I like the flipping action way better than the hydroflask.

Do they ask for a receipt? My gf lid needs to be replaced but we no longer have the receipt of purchase
