The Stanley Quencher has gone viral for its ability to keep water ice cold for up to 48 hours; you might have seen influencers endorsing these cups on social media. However, the popularity of these cups has made them very expensive. If you can’t fathom spending $45 on a water bottle (or can’t get your hands on one), there are water bottles just as good as the viral Stanley. Here are five functional alternatives (that aren’t overpriced!).
Corkcicle Series A Sport Canteen
The Corkcicle Series A Sport Canteen is a reusable water bottle for hiking; the rugged Durapene finish makes it able to withstand wear and tear. Made of stainless steel, this insulated water bottle comes in 64, 32, and 20 oz. sizes.
This bottle can keep water cool for up to 25 hours, and its stay-put bottom means you can’t easily knock it over. Although the bottle has a handle lid, you can easily carry it in your backpack. It costs $43 on Amazon.
Bivo Trio Insulated Water Bottle
This insulated water bottle is perfect for cycling as it fits well under a bike without moving or falling out. The sports nozzle with gravity flow makes it easy to drink on the go.
With its double wall insulation, the Bivo Trio Insulated Water Bottle keeps water cool for over 12 hours. Being an ultra-lightweight water bottle with an anti-slip silicone exterior, it’s easy to handle. It’s only $13 at Backcountry.com.
