If you’ve ever wanted to try being invisible, cycling on a busy road at night is a good start. Adding front and rear lights is obviously a good move, but for side-on visibility, things get a little more tricky. Italian cycling company Elite is trying to solve that with something surprisingly simple: a light-up water…
There’s no shortage of smart water bottles on crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo. But when a brand like Thermos enters the game with a new smart lid for its bottles that tracks hydration and even monitors the temperature of your water, you better pay attention.
Bottled water is awful for our cities and ourselves. But without lightweight, well-designed alternatives for transporting tap water, no one is going to ditch the convenience of those terrible little tubes. I turned to our staff for some street-tested hydration solutions.
Take your pick from Kodachrome, Fuji Velvia, Ilford HP5, and Agfa Pro 200 for $10 a time. Let's just hope the water inside them is as pure as your love for the ol' fashioned photography ways. [Mash SF]
Four years ago the Clean Bottle arrived with a true innovation: a removable cap on either end that made it incredibly easy to properly clean. A few years later an upgraded version called the Square arrived that swapped curves for a rectangular design that wouldn't roll away if dropped. And now its creators are…
Most of your travel accessories can be compacted for easy storage when they're empty: your duffel bag, your toiletries case, even your sleeping bag. So why does your water bottle waste so much space after you've drained it? It shouldn't, and with Hydrapak's new collapsible Stash bottle, it never will again.
As summer approaches and the temperatures start to soar, it's time to get serious about staying hydrated. Your body relies on H20 to help keep you from overheating, and just carrying around a water bottle as a fashion accessory isn't enough. You actually need to drink it, so Vittel created a bottle cap alternative…
We get it. Our love of drinking water from disposable plastic bottles is a problem, enough of a problem that San Francisco actually wants to ban them. But then what will we drink water out of? Ooho, a biodegradable membrane made of brown algae, is an interesting idea.
It's rarely the case that buying a two-in-one product is better than purchasing each component separately. But ÖKO makes a strong case for merging your flashlight and water bottle when you're heading off into the wilderness. Its Odyssey provides both safe hydration and ample illumination when you'e trying to keep your…
San Francisco wants to cut its landfill waste down to absolute zero by 2020. While a city-wide plastic bag ban has been in effect for a few years, new legislation approved by the Board of Supervisors this week sets its sights on the bane of tap-water enthusiasts and thirsty environmentalists alike: Bay Area, say…
When it comes to watering, there's nothing stopping you from simply dumping a bottle of H2O onto the plants on your balcony, as long as you're cool with possibly damaging them and splashing wet dirt all over the place. A gentler approach is a better idea, and Animi Causa's new Rainmaker—which emulates a gentle summer…
Moving the water filter from the pitcher in your fridge to the reusable bottle you carry around all day means you can safely refill it anywhere. The catch, however, is that most filtered water bottles either require you to suck like a vacuum cleaner, or squeeze the bottle into submission to get the water through the…
Genius comes in all shapes and sizes, and in this case it's a cylindrical 16-ounce water bottle called the Hydros that features a brilliant access port on the side of the cap that lets you fill it from the shortest of taps, or shallowest of sinks. No longer do you have to craft a makeshift funnel with your hand, or…
Once a tool used exclusively by mountaineers to secure themselves against deadly falls, the carabiner has been adopted for hundreds of more mundane uses—like carrying housekeys, or strapping a water bottle to your gear with this simple but useful replacement carabiner cap.
There are some significant barriers to entry in a triathlon. Physical fitness is one thing. What about all that gear?
Few things are more refreshing than a drink of water on a hot day. The latest and greatest way Hydrapak is keeping that water extra cool is using PrimaLoft—the same fluffy material that keeps mountaineers from freezing to death in the snow.
Not every bathroom in the world is civilized enough to have a bidet. And so you never have to find yourself in a position where you're reaching for toilet paper, the Hygienna Solo turns any plastic water bottle into a handheld portable bidet. How—um—practical?
We're big fans of Kor's futuristic looking water bottles—er, vessels, as the company calls them, 'cause it's cooler—and they've just debuted the newest addition to the line: the Vida, which comes in two sizes, is their take on the ubiquitous reusable steel water bottle. It looks very nice!
I like the idea of having a go-to water bottle. I've tried several, all of which had their strengths and weaknesses. But all of them, with time, ended up getting a little funky at the bottom. Enter, the Clean Bottle.
If there was ever a reusable water bottle that we'd pay $29 for, this would be it. The Kor One is made out of BPA free plastic, and can be opened with one hand while cycling or running or eating or wiping. Their website is exactly what you'd expect from a company that's selling a $29 water bottle and is filled with…
