The Watersy 500ml water bottle is an everyday carry (EDC) container that prioritizes a lightweight and compact form factor. It is built from 18/8 (304) stainless steel and utilizes a double-wall vacuum insulation architecture. The interior is electropolished to provide a non-leaching surface for your beverages, while the 1.91-inch mouth opening is sized to be compatible with many standard third-party sport caps.
The lid is a simple, hinge-less design made from BPA-free polypropylene, which reduces the number of moving parts that could potentially break. A silicone gasket provides the seal; however, because it is not permanently captured in the lid, users should check that it is properly in place after each wash to prevent leaks.
- The 17 oz volume is well-suited for school bags, gym kits, and fits into almost all vehicle cup holders.
- Double-wall construction helps prevent condensation from forming on the outside of the bottle.
- A smooth interior finish makes the vessel easier to rinse and keep clean between uses.
Specifications indicate that the powder coating provides a good grip but may be susceptible to chipping around the base if used in high-friction environments. To maintain the bottle's thermal performance, avoid dropping it from heights that could cause a "vacuum pop." For the best results, hand wash the components and remove the silicone seal weekly for a deep clean.
If you prefer a bottle with a built-in straw mechanism for one-handed use, you might look at the Encool 24 oz Insulated Water Bottle.
