The Powcan 26 oz vessel is constructed from 18/8 food-grade stainless steel, a standard material chosen for its resistance to corrosion. Specifications indicate a wall thickness of approximately 0.4mm, which balances the unit's weight for easier carrying but makes the body more susceptible to denting if dropped. Tests show that while the double-wall insulation helps maintain beverage temperatures, the vacuum seal can be compromised if the outer wall sustains significant impacts.
The lid assembly features a 2-in-1 straw and spout design made from BPA-free polypropylene. For practical use, the integrated carry loop provides a sturdy point for transport, though the internal silicone gasket requires careful attention during cleaning to ensure it remains seated. Features of this model include:
- An anti-slip powder-coat texture designed to provide a secure grip even when hands are wet.
- A 26 oz capacity shaped to fit into 95% of standard automotive cup holders for convenient commuting.
- A dual-function lid that allows for both sipping through a straw and high-flow drinking through the spout.
To maintain the integrity of the exterior finish and the mechanical parts of the lid, hand washing is recommended. This prevents the high heat of dishwasher cycles from affecting the paint or the tension of the straw-hinge pivot pin. Regular maintenance with a specialized small brush helps keep the soft silicone straw clear of buildup.
If you prefer a smaller capacity designed specifically for children's use, you might consider the Ello Cooper 18oz Kids Water Bottle.
