We’re all conversant in the attract of the Stanley Quencher by now. You is perhaps sipping from the Black Chroma Quencher as we converse. Or, a type of epic, retro Barbie-inspired designs (which had been launched to have fun the sixty fifth anniversary of Stanley, FYI) may very well be your hydration accent of alternative. Both manner, #StanleyCup has greater than 725,000 posts on TikTok, so none of us are strangers to seeing the It-girl water bottle – adorned with snack tray and straw cowl, after all – throughout our FYP.
For all I like about my Stanley Quencher, I’ve all the time discovered one factor barely annoying. That’s: how huge it’s. Nice for staying hydrated, notably throughout lengthy automotive journeys – but when I am out on a stroll and must lug it round with me to keep away from feeling parched? Not a lot.
So, it felt like Stanley had answered my prayers after they reached out to ask whether or not I would be all for reviewing one among their model new wearable water bottles, solely from GLAMOUR. Yep, you learn appropriately: the Stanley Cross Bottle has launched within the UK as we speak, the model’s first ever hands-free water bottle that you could put on throughout your physique. And it is actually reasonably stylish.
Created by the workforce at Stanley to seamlessly mix performance with fashion, the 0.68L Stanley Cross Bottle is the first-ever wearable, non-round, double-wall vacuum insulated product within the trade.
In addition to having all of the excessive efficiency you’d count on of the model (high-quality, sturdy, recycled stainless-steel, modern design and the double-wall vacuum insulation know-how that retains your water chilly for 12 hours, iced for 2 days), there are two main upgrades. One: it is hands-free, that includes a colour-matched adjustable strap, and two, it is leak-proof. Principally, it is the proper hydration accent for these on-the-go.
Ben James, Stanley 1913’s Vice President, International Business and Basic Supervisor, EMEA, at Stanley 1913 instructed us: “We have now rather a lot to hold – cellphone, keys, pockets, laptop computer, health club bag, buying baggage – and the Stanley Cross Bottle is the embodiment of how Stanley 1913 makes individuals’s lives simpler by way of good design.
“Even the dimensions has been rigorously thought of to be the candy spot when it comes to offering sufficient water for our customers to take with them on the go whereas sustaining the integrity of their look.”
I used to be so shocked by how stylish the brand new design was when it landed on my desk. I beloved utilizing the black model for work – it felt minimalist towards my outsized blazer or wool coat – and I beloved the Rose Quartz iteration for weekend use. Whichever color I selected, the adjustable strap meant I may make sure the bottle sat comfortable to my hip – and the matte end to the bottle made it look so costly. The strap may very well be eliminated once I arrived on the workplace, or once I was utilizing the bottle at house – and I used to be tremendous impressed by how lengthy it saved my tea heat for. Good for cold winter mornings.
