We have a new water bottle featured on Powderfin.com, the KOR ONE 750 mL Hydration Vessel. When I heard "hydration vessel", I thought...ok, nice marketing ploy. A water bottle is a water bottle, right?
Well...after actually using one for a month or so, I can now confidently say.... no. Yes, the KOR ONE is a water bottle, but it definitely lives up to its name...it truly is a Hydration Vessel. It has all of the features that bottles must have today, such as being BPA free, and healthy to drink from...but this product goes beyond the norm.
The first thing that struck me upon seeing the unit is simply it's unique design. It's strange to say...but this thing is kinda sexy. It's designed with function at the forefront, but also with very clean lines and flowing curves. It made me thirsty to look at it.
Beyond the visual appeal, what makes the KOR ONE Hydration Vessel special is ease of operation. With one hand, you can easily push the button that releases the "hatch" on the top of the vessel and take a drink. This comes in very handy while driving, running on a treadmill, bicycling, and sitting on a chairlift. These are a handful of activities in which I've used the KOR ONE, and I did actually notice a difference. If you're used to a water bottle with a traditional screw-top lid...you'll notice that the KOR ONE is simply much easier to open and close. So when you're sitting on a chair lift with gloves on, you don't have to fumble around and unscrew a lid, then somehow keep from dropping it.
It's just click, crack open, guzzle, close. Easy.
A third impressive feature of the vessel is the mouth opening..ie) where you put your lips. I've heard people describe drinking from aluminum bottles as "like drinking from a garden hose". It's different with the KOR ONE. It's smooth on your lips, and never too cold or too hot to the touch.
Finally, the size is right. I think 20 oz. (.33 L) are too small. The hydration vessel is 750 mL... which is a great size. Not too heavy when full, like many people think of a 1 L, but not to small to have to fill up often.
All in all...just when you thought the water bottle craze could go no further, KOR Water upped the anty. I was initially dubious, but now a huge fan.
Sit a full one on your desk and you'll hydrate more than ever before...it basically begs you to drink from it, all day long.
