Drink to This
Make It Insulated
The same insulation that keeps your coffee warm in your tumbler keeps your water chilled in your sports bottle. For the user tired of drinking lukewarm water while on the go, insulation is your answer. Adam Kovar, vice president of operations for ETS Express Inc., Oxnard, Calif., has noticed end-buyers are going for higher price points, as they understand the more expensive models' insulating capabilities. "There's a huge difference from a single-wall to a double-wall bottle, but they're willing to pay more when they actually understand how it affects their experience. Which is they put cold water in it and three to four hours later it's still cold versus they put cold water in it, and it's a single-wall bottle, and then it condensates and sweats all over the desk or whatever paper they may leave it on—which vacuum doesn't do," he said.
