BORN - in the USA.....BORN, in the USAAaaayyyyyy! The *only* American-made metal bottle in the marketplace (impressive resume feature!) in a wide array of designs!
Bottles can be purchased at local markets (I've seen them at the PVD Wholefoods), and online (Amazon or straight from the source - go to their site!) and is 100% BPA-free!
Most designs are available in 16, 24, or 32oz (however, there are some ADORABLE bottles for the kiddies which are 12oz). The cap snaps on/off (so you know it's secure), are available in a range of colors (they even offer a "sports"/sippy straw cap). Bottles range from about $15 - 20.
Designs are created by local artists (bio's available on their website), and are always changing! My two favorites, of course, are "Muir" (mountaineering quotation from one of my favorite Scotsmen) and the "Mt Washington Topo" (a textured topographical map of the park!). There are patriotic designs, sport designs, mass transit systems, and even an American flag composed of stars and bacon stripes. Want to design your own (like I'd love to for some potential big event in the hopefully not-too-distant future?) - you'll have to invest in at least 72 bottles (not sure that the tab will end up costing plus shipping, but I'll be sure to update if all works out!).
The bottles are great for a hike, or just toting to the office! While I LOVE mine...I must warn you against dropping your bottles. I've dropped mine (woops, fell right out of my backpack and onto a rock!) and the bottom bowed a little and the enamel on the inside cracked a little. It's still clean, still usable, just looks like I've carried it everywhere (which I pretty much have). If you have issues with the product, the customer service is AMAZING and they might just be able to help you out if the product really does fail.
Great product! Great look! MADE IN THE USA, baby! read more
