Water to Inspire, KOR ONE Hydration Vessel Review - Yanko Design
I've been toting around the KOR ONE Hydration Vessel for a week and the get-go thing someone said to me was, "that'south a h2o canteen? Looks pretty spacey human." Yep it does wait quite futuristic and some have even accused me of being wasteful – all that pretty packaging and blueprint just to hold water. What gives? Hitting the leap to read my review.
Over a million plastic water bottles stop upwards in U.S. landfills everyday so if you actually want to be dark-green, you lot should be using some refillable vessel. Water is (for the almost part) free, disposable plastic bottles aren't so yous stop up saving coin past using your own container. So what makes this $30 canteen dissimilar from the cheapo plastic ones?
Almost refillable h2o bottles are made of Polycarbonate (PC), even though scientists have known for years that Bisphenol-A (BPA), a chemic used in the PC manufacturing procedure, leaches into any liquid goes within. BPA is a known hormone-disruptor that's been linked to birth defects. Mounting evidence suggests that even small quantities pose major health risks.
The team at RKS Design evaluated glass, acrylic, and many other substances. They eventually establish a new material that featured the clarity and performance of polycarbonate without the dangers of BPA chosen Tritan.
Aside from proudly wearing its BPA Costless label, the KOR I is designed to be ergonomic. All those soft curves make it piece of cake to take hold of, hold, carry, and set. The bottom is cushioned past a rubber ring. The handle comfortably curves effectually your grip. The cap unsnaps with a push of a button and clicks tightly when you lot shut it. The spout is as well curved and sized perfectly to assist the flow of h2o into your thirsty mouth.
Wait, that's not all. Underneath that cap is a space for a KOR stone; an inspirational message you can swap out. Mine says "Improve Me, Better Globe." AIN'T THAT THE TRUTH! There are besides a couple blanks in there for your own personal messages like, "Only SAY NO!" Sorry, Nancy Reagan moment there.
What we liked:
- Holds 750 ml of water. Drink a piddling over 2 of them to fulfill your daily requirement
- Extremely durable plastic that's lightweight. A lot lighter than y'all retrieve despite its bulk
- BPA FREE, no poisons leaching into my drinking water cheers
- Comfy conveying handle
- Rubber base is a prissy touch, feels similar quality when I set up it down
- Wide mouth for drinking
- Dishwasher safe! Gotta love that
- KOR rock concept is a great way to give yourself reminders before every sip
What could be improved
- The price ($30) for a plastic water bottle is a piddling crazy only y'all are getting something beautifully designed. $1 of every buy goes back to the environment, and it's BPA Complimentary. Finding a sexy BPA FREE h2o bottle was already challenging enough.
