If you enjoy spending weekends in nature, hiking or camping with your family, then you know that even though it cannot be considered a trip, there are still a lot of things you have to bring with you. You need warm clothes, camping gear, food and snacks, and of course, water. The problem arises if you are used to drinking filtered or water treated any other way.
Yes, you can reuse old plastic bottles to bring water with you, but in most cases, this is not only unsanitary but also there has been a lot of debate about the harmful effects of BPA in these containers. You can go and purchase BPA-free ones, but keep in mind that these are usually costly. Instead, you should invest in a Kool8 insulated water container.

These are usually made out of stainless stain (both the inner and the outer cup), and in bottles that are intended for keeping cold drinks, the foam is added into the space between the two cups. The top is also specially designed so that the liquid can easily be poured in, but on the other hand, that it doesn’t spill when it is carried and turned upside down. As with any other type of merchandise, these items go through a quality control check before they hit the shelves, to ensure that there are no flaws.
We have briefly discussed how thermos water bottles are made, and now, let us tell you why you should get one of these. First of all, they will ensure that your drink stays the temperature you wanted it to be. This means that you can spend the entire day walking on scorching heat, but the water you carry in your backpack will stay cold. On the other hand, if you want to have hot liquid with you, it will keep it that way up to six hours.
Furthermore, they are safe. We have already mentioned this, and you are probably aware of it, but there are some poisonous chemicals in plastic containers that can affect your health if you are exposed to them for a long time. This is not a problem with these bottles since they are made out of stainless steel meaning that there are no BPA substances.
Moreover, thermos bottles are durable. Most plastic ones are intended to be used only once which is why they can easily be damaged, especially when they are empty. This is not the case with insulated containers. Because of their design and materials used, these are going to last you for a longer period of time which is why they are the first choice of athletes.

Firstly, they are made of natural material which means that not only are they easily manufactured but also they can be recycled when the time comes. Also, by using these instead of plastic bottles we are reducing the amount of waste on landfills.
All in all, these are some reasons why you should invest in these, instead of buying a new plastic water bottle every day. More and more people understand why there are better options which is why there are multiple manufacturers and designs you can choose from.
