80 percent quality, 20 percent name. personally i don't mind payin 20 percent for name because its a little money for a piece of mind. that just my rule in general.
i have a klean kanteen and hydro flask in the current rotation. ive had a few other no name brands. I think the hydroflask and klean kanteen are perfect comps they are pretty much the exact same quality and same perks.
where the excel from the white labels and generics is there is no "flavor transfer" if you rinse it out between drinks (from coffee to water or whatever) you will not taste that there was coffee in there before. its been probably over a year of heavy use for each of them and there is zero taste on the bottle (anyone who has used a camelpack or old school canteen for too long knows what im talking about) which is pretty amazing and i really dont clean that well. quality is fantastic. i think its worth the extraprice.
>>1340332klean kanteen makes a bamboo top its kind of an odd look but at the end of the day one who gives actually cares about what bottle i drink from can go eat shit... and maybe you will like it.
