Nathan Designs Stainless Steel Straw Bottle Review

A review of the Nathan Designs bottle from our friend Chris of the Quintessential Quill:

"Nathan, oh Nathan, how do I love ye! Let me count the ways!

1. Nice wide mouth to put in ice;

2. Great designs; stylish and nice;

3. A handy straw; flip up for a sip;

4. And hook it to your belt with a handy clip!

Bad poetry aside, I love, love, love this stylish bottle. It holds ample amounts of water to see you through an outing; it has an awesome flip straw that lets you drink your fill without tipping the bottle. Its wide mouth lets you clean it easily, as well as add ice to keep your drink cold. The stainless steel means no leaching of harmful chemicals and the designs give it the extra kick that Klean Kanteen is lacking.

Best of all? The clip, oh the clip! Ever overload yourself and need an extra hand to carry the water out to the car? Well, trouble no more! Clip your bottle to your belt, backpack, diaper bag, purse…it can clip to almost anything.

This bottle is all-around awesome. It has replaced my Siggs (sorry Sigg) and is used more than my Klean Kanteen, though it is a toss up there. The Klean Kanteen does come in different sizes; something that Nathan might want to consider. If that happens, it will be only Nathan’s for me!"

BPA free stainless steel Nathan bottles hold 24 ounces and are available for $24.55 from our store in 4 designs and 1 solid.

Wallaby Bags

This morning I helped a friend launch her blog promoting Wallaby Bags. These great reusable fabric bags have become a staple in our packed lunches, holding sandwiches, snacks, and veggies. Here is one of her bags that we took on a recent hike:



Soon we will stock the bags at the Baying Hound. In the meantime, check out her new site: www.WallabyBags.com

Heading to Outdoor Retailer

In a few hours we will board a plane to Salt Lake City for the annual Outdoor Retailer conference. We will meet with current and potential vendors, browse for new product ideas, and enjoy some time ruminating on the future of Baying Hound. All the while staying linked in to our customers via web and phone, of course.

We leave you with this photo artistry from Chris Jordan photography:
That's a sea of plastic beverage bottles, two million in fact, the number used in the US every five minutes. Wow...
