I've watched a good few videos on this subject and they all seemed to use such different variables that didn't make the test very accurate or "scientific", so I appreciate that you went about it in as scientific a way as possible. Obviously controlling for bottle size across the board is one factor that couldn't be fully controlled in this case, lid type as well, but this is a very good test imo. Especially since you did it 3 times. That's huge. Thanks again for doing this.
I have a few of these water bottles recently purchased and Iron Flask and use it at work and I fill it with ice and do water with my Liquid IV and I left it at my desk over the weekend and still had ice on Monday.
Great review but would like to know which ones are less toxic. With so many using recycle material which introduces processing agent or chemical residuals in the finished product...it would be nice to know which ones are less toxic.
So I just posted a video about the safest water bottle materials that goes into some of that type of information. It's more of an overview of the different materials like plastic, stainless, glass, and a few others, including talking about which bottles have lids that avoid plastic on the bottom that can come in contact with your water. I didn't get too much into brand-by-brand manufacturing differences (like klean kanteen's stainless vs hydro flask's stainless) since that can be really hard to determine and verify beyond each brand's marketing material, but I still hope to do that more in a future video!
I’m trying to hike in scallops next time I go backpacking and trying to find the best bottle to use to insulate them in ice… thanks for the video. This Was very informative
I have several insulated Hydro Flask and Kleen Kanteen - over a period of time (i.e. 1 year) Hydro Flask insulation clearly degrades with hot coffee becoming slightly warm coffee in about 3-4 hours- will be interested to hear if any viewers experience the same results.
Thanks for the comment. Yea, it's hard for us to test out that kind of long-term use and wear on all these bottles ourselves, so I'm also curious to hear if anyone else has experienced what you have.
I have a kleen kanteen for around 2years had hot coffee/tea for work almost every day start at 3am and end at 2pm by the end of day hot coffee was warm/lukewarm by 10 am lunch time it was still hot enough to burn my mouth keep in mind I would be sipping on it through out the day and leave the cap open sometimes to cool down the drink
I have a few steel bottles including yeti and Kleen Kanteen. My favourite is my Camelbak with mag chug lid. I haven’t seen many RUclips videos about it.
You can actually avoid assuming if the effects of the volume does in fact have an effect on the rate of ice melting by having similar bottle sizes for each flask and using data analysis such as ANOVA, and a post-hoc DMRT.
Thanks for the suggestion. Yea, our insulation test was admittedly a little rudimentary in this video and was meant to just get a general idea of the results, but we hope to improve the testing in an upcoming update video. I hadn't thought about using more of a statistical approach like this. Thank you!
This was a super helpful video! I was about to give up on the Thermoflask until you mentioned there are other factors to consider besides insulation (eg price, color, lid types). Thanks again!
I honestly don't know. I've wondered the same question as you ever since I read that link from the Washington Dept of Health about copper piping. It seems like both copper and plastic piping can have drawbacks and leaching of some kind, and I don't know which is better than the other. Kind of concerning, but there's not a great alternative so I don't really have an answer. Too bad we can't realistically have glass piping like we have glass bottles, haha.
@@bottlepro3252 Lol yeah maybe one day we'll have the perfect water bottle. Also I ended up going with the Iron Flask, turns out they have really nice colors like you mentioned in the video.
Great! Thanks for the information about those bottles! Specially for people like me who drinks a lot of tea (insulated bottles). I do have an Klean Kanteen 16oz Insulated Tumbler with straw lid and I use it primarily for hot tea. I'm thinking to buy Klean Kanteen's new Rise Tumbler line that it seems to work as expected and also looks good for everyday use (work/studies/desktop). It will be great if you include it on a future comparation also. Thank you from Chile!
This is a fun read about how durable Stanley bottles are. Some guy dropped his 1600ft down a mine shaft and the bottle was fine! www.stanley1913.com/blogs/my-stanley/stories-of-the-unbreakables-the-people-that-define-stanley
Yea, you're correct! We realized that when making our most recent video, and we'll be sure to point that out moving forward. The different test results are likely due to variations in the ice that our repetitions didn't average out or possibly the lids, and we're planning an updated insulation test video that is more controlled.
Thanks, hopefully the videos have helped! Yea, the TKWide caps should fit fine with any TKWide bottle size. We've only tested the 32oz, but from what we've read on Klean Kanteen's site, the TKWide caps are compatible with any of the TKWide bottle sizes. I reached out to Klean Kanteen to double-check and will update this comment in a day or two if this is incorrect. And be sure to get a TKWide series bottle since the cap won't fit in any other Klean Kanteen bottle types!
Thanks for pointing this out! I actually hadn't seen their insulated ones yet. I only see spout designs, but there are two versions (one has a sweet ice blocker I haven't seen elsewhere). They only only have 12 and 6 reviews compared to hundreds for their non-insulated ones. Are they new?
@@bottlepro3252 On the takeya actives, I have a spout lid and it's insulated. Just on the actives style, not the other styles. I hadn't seen the insulated lid before on any bottles, ever, but I did find another brand in your viewer's comments that offers insulated lids: coldest. I don't know how new it is. Usually the lid is the weak point in the insulation. I have way too many insulated cups/bottles because I too am a bit infatuated with them, but I'm not up to date with what's available because they're expensive! Just looking for the perfect bottle/cup for my needs. I am all impressed with the insulated lids though. :)
Hi, any special reason you are not reviewing the Thinksport bottles? I think they are so great, but it seems like they are not marketing themselves enough
@@StreetsAhead120 Yea, I saw that recently too! We're getting some bottles for a big update later this month, and I'll probably be getting one of those.
So does Luxe to make water bottles anymore or they just completely sold out? Plus I seen under Facebook the last time they posted something was last year
Yea, glad you noticed that! We had them in our first insulation test video because that was the first time we noticed triple layer bottles, and we wanted to give it a try. But they seem to be selling through their inventory and that's it. Some listings are unavailable, and they don't have many variations. Because of that, we didn't include them in our more recent videos, including our insulation test pt 2. But we did get a few other triple layer bottles to test in luxe's place after looking around more at which bottles use that technology too. Thanks for the comment!
No one wants to keep a single block of ice cold in their bottle. Test how these bottles will be used practically. The most significant heat exchange with bottles like this is the lid which you excluded in this test.
For sure, people would use more ice in practical situations. But the single, consistent block still gives us an idea on how they compare. And you're absolutely correct, the lid is very important for insulation. The mouth diameter may be even more significant than the lid style. We tested how well triple-layer insulation helps with heat transfer through the walls in our more recent insulation test, and our next one will focus on lids and/or mouth diameter. But because there are so many different bottle styles and brands, it'd be an extremely long test period and video if we did everything we wanted to in one video. Hard to justify that yet when this blog is still a side project, so we're taking it one step at a time!
Gotta test the tk wide with the standard lid. Love the chug cap for daily use, but if I need to bring extra ice water and keep it cold for longer, I switch it to the original lid. I’ve had it hold ice 24+ hours
The original thermos ( not Stanley) has been by far the bottle that has the best and longest lasting insulation for me…. I’m not sure why you don’t review these.
Heard great things about Simple Modern! Those and Camelbak are the next two bottle brands we want to compare. SM seems pretty similar to Hydro Flasks, but we're looking forward to trying them out.
Yea, Thermos has a great history, and the Icon bottle looks good and comparable to most bottles we test. But we had to draw the line somewhere unfortunately. We can only afford to buy so many bottles, haha.
Yea, there are quite a few things we would have done differently in an ideal world to get more accurate results, but we worked with what we had to get a general idea. We're a small channel so there's only so much we can afford!

Remember get one that’s easy to clean!
Insulated water bottles have been around for a long time . Good information that’s all we need to know .
I prefer Yeti.... They're easier to clean. That's what got me sold.
True, yeti's mouth diameter is wider than most other bottles, and that definitely can help with cleaning. Thank you for pointing that out!
Hey, yall! What straw lids can be shaped to a corkcicle 40oz. It's great but needs a good top.
Stanley has been a leading brand over 100 years. Theyre built like tanks and last forever. I'll probably oass my down to my kids.

Arent the takeya and thermoflask the same bottles? I thought takeya owned thermoflask and just sold the same bottle with a different label on it?

I feel like this would pair well with a video about yoga pants and fancy coffee
Coldest water bottle is the best by far
Awesome!!
Thanks!
Which one is gluten free?
Thermoflask and Aquaflask is the same to me..
Agreed. Honestly a lot of insulated bottle brands are pretty similar. Just slight differences in lids, colors, things like that.
Why did you make things easier just do a temperature test
Yea, we did that on our more recent video. Hot-water test with temperature measurements every few hours. Definitely was easier and less messy.
Stanley is best, followed by Yeti then Takeya then Hydro flask. Eat that you stanley haters!
No Tiger brand from Japan? 😭
Not yet, but hopefully soon!
The music is distracting
Yea, I've toned it down since then. A lot of people said the same in my older videos.
Simple modern always
Heard great things about Simple Modern! Those and Camelbak are the next two bottle brands we want to compare. SM seems pretty similar to Hydro Flasks, but we're looking forward to trying them out.

My thermoflask sucks. Got my gf an iron flask and its way better
Honestly, it's hard to beat the value you get with Iron Flasks. Less pricy, and still really good with more lid options included.

None of that. My THERMOS ULTIMATE do it better
