Tribe Provisions HydeTech 20 oz Water Bottle Review

The Tribe Provisions HydeTech 20 oz Water Bottle I received is amazing.  It is a rubber-coated, vacuum-insulated, stainless steel water bottle with a clip.  After a campout, I could not find my water bottle.  When I found it a day later, the temperature was the exact same as it was when I lost it.  The whole time it had been in the ever-changing temperature environment of being lost in our van.
 
Once while I was trying to unclip my water bottle while running up a hill, I dropped it. It rolled all the way into a ditch and didn’t have a scratch or dent on it. My sister Lisa has a similarly-advertised water bottle of another brand; however, the metal is thinner, and it is already dented.

Another thing I like about it is that it's insulation and coating makes it feel the same even when the bottle contains hot liquid. I’ve had other metal water bottles that burn my hands when I put hot chocolate in them.

I highly recommend the HydeTech 20 oz Water bottle especially to friends who don’t like lukewarm water, need an easily cleanable bottle (for when you forget that you put hot chocolate in it for a few days), and won’t break or leak at all.

Advantages:

• Durable enough to withstand my adventures
• Brightly-colored so I don’t leave it in the grass
• Easy to clip to bags
• My mom doesn’t worry about me drinking from a plastic bottle that might leach chemicals that are be bad for me
• Wide mouth and simple design that is easy to clean with a bottle brush without mold hiding in the cap somewhere
• Keeps temperatures steady for a full 24 hours
• Easy to grip
• Never leaks

Disadvantages:

• The cap isn’t attached to the bottle when you unscrew it, so I have to be careful not to lose it.
• No straw feature so young kids tend to spill when drinking out of it. (This is an advantage for me as it keeps siblings out of my water bottle.)

Keep Hiking Forward!
