Why Hydrate?
Staying hydrated is of outmost importance for health and peak fitness. Not drinking enough water can lead to several problems including muscle fatigue, poor digestion, and even weight gain because the body can’t metabolize fat as well.
How much water should we drink? According to the International Sports Medicine Institute there is a simple formula you can follow to get your daily intake: If you are not active, drink 1/2 an ounce of water for every pound you weigh (i.e. if you weigh 160 lbs, drink 80 ozs of water a day). An active person should drink 2/3 of an ounce for every pound you weigh. Your water intake should be spread out evenly during the day throughout your waking hours.

It is lightweight, making it ideal for backpacking/hiking trips. Since it is made from food grade stainless steel, it doesn’t require a liner like aluminum bottles do and doesn’t leave any aftertaste in the water. Maybe best of all, stainless steel bottles are reusable and recyclable so it doesn’t end up in a landfill or worse!
