Guyot Designs is a holistic company incorporating ideas, lifestyle, culture and individuality. Its core belief is that it’s possible and profitable to invent fantastic outdoor products while fostering a corporate culture that focuses on the aspirations of our partners. But even if you don’t fall for all that sweet talk, you can still go for their seriously hard-core products.
Case in point, their single walled, surgical-grade stainless steel water bottles. ‘The Standard’ holds 38oz of liquid and comes with The Lid. What is The Lid? It’s, uh, a lid is attached to the bottle with a rope cord - much more durable than the plastic tethers you generally see on such products. It’s tough, it keeps drinks cold, and it looks rugged (even if you aren’t).
Plus, each stainless steel bottle Guyot Designs sells is now part of their C-Minus program. That’s right, every bottle they produce carries 100lbs of verified green house gas emissions reductions - making their bottles not just carbon neutral, but carbon negative!
Our review after the jump…
The quality and style is what first hits you when you take a Guyot Designs product out of the box. Modeled after the popular plastic wide mouth bottles of yesteryear, these are clean, sleek design is built for the outdoors but accommodating enough for everyday use. Plus, the leak-proof lid (made of glass enforced nylon) attaches to bottle with strong rope cable that also is adjustable and removable. Oh, and the SplashGuard inserts into bottle mouth for easy drinking.
Our reviewers remarked on how easy it is to clean and how nicely compatible it is with most industry standard wide mouth purifiers and accessories.
Other hightlights:
Fair labor and fair wages were used in making this product.
It’s 100% recyclable.
Dishwasher safe.
Lifetime warranty.
What more can we say. A carbon negative stainless steel water bottle. Isn’t this why we started BPA-Free in the first place?
