Camelbak, Nalgene, Swell, KleanKanteen, and Hydroflask? Fuggetabout em. This bottle is EVERYTHING
I have been on the hunt for a great water bottle for years. Camelbak? Had them. Nalgene? Yup. Swell? Nice but stinky and squeaky caps. Hydroflask? Nice but doesn't live up to the claims, same with KleenKanteen, as pretty as they are. And then I found the Coldest Water Bottle.
I tested this oceanic 64oz growler and after 12 hours, there is still ice and the water temp is 20% colder than in my HydroFlask and after 24, TCW still has ice and Hydroflask is room temp, and I still had bits of ice and super cold water at 36 hours. If I didn't refill with room temp water, or very often, the ice lasted even longer (and that is just due to thermodynamics and heat transfer from water which is warmer than ice).
Yay, I found the greatest water bottle available on earth (that I can find anyway) that still has ice when I wash it out at night, or the next morning if I get lazy. And it is much cuter than my Manna Titan 1 gallon bottle which holds ice for 4-5 days.
I love it enough that I became an ambassador for them (full disclosure, I paid for this bottle myself before doing that and it was my love of the bottle that inspired the ambassadorship) and it was a no-brainer since I would be carrying this around with me everywhere.
You may wonder who needs a 64oz bottle if they aren't camping. Or the gallon size for that matter. Since half of it's capacity needs to start off as ice to offset the heat transfer from the water that added and refilled in it, a 32oz bottle would hold 16oz of ice and 16floz of water, needing to be refilled 4-8 times a day depending on whether you're drinking the minimum 8 glasses a day or a full gallon a day for the athletic among us, a 64oz grlowler holds 32 oz of ice and 32 oz of water, being filled 2-4 times a day, and the gallon jug holds 64oz each of ice and water, needing to be filled only 1 - 2 times a day. I have a 32oz bottle for walks, a 64 oz bottle for my desk, and will be getting a 1 gallon bottle for beach days and camping or maybe for my desk too (as soon as I can afford it and the pink one is in stock).
But carrying a large water bottle was a PITA on walks with my dog, leash in one hand, bag of poops in the other, and then my water bottle and phone too? Ugh. Hiking? I wanted to hold onto some handweights, not my water bottle!
The carrying bag has entered the chat. It fits my 32oz Coldest Water Bottle like a glove, has a place for my phone/keys/extra dog waste pickup bags, cards, etc. I used caribiners to attach my airpod case and some hand santiizer and loop my face mask around the cap of the bottle too. I have this "kit" next to me all the time. I got the pink carrying bag from ArcaGear btw, TCW only has black bags; Why get a super cute oceanic or pink Coldest Water Bottle only to hide it in a black carrier?
I 100% believe this is a 10/10 product!
**After months of use, I have not had the mildew stink in the straw or caps that the Swell bottles are infamous for. The bottle cleaning kit (which I also got) gets the bottle, cap, and straw super clean.
**The only complaint I have is that the silicon cover on the straw tip gets stained easily. I use Mr Clean Magic Eraser pads on it, but I wish they were replaceable somehow.
