I’ve been using the classic blue Nalgene water bottle for as long as I can remember and have always compared other bottles against it. The KOR Delta water bottle takes basic water toting needs and delivers a water vessel that is high performing and sexy all at the same time. This bottle is sleeker and more stylish than the Nalgene bottle could ever dream to be. The clear ice blue body (other colors are available) is wrapped with a clean, modern, white casing that delivers a personality upgrade to the basic water bottle. 

Hydration is key and this bottle makes it insanely easy to access water at the push of a button and flick of the top. This bottle is made for the person on the go that doesn’t have time to waste unscrewing a lid. The spout opening of the bottle is smaller which has its advantages and drawbacks all at the same time. If you are on the move, the narrow opening allows you sip your water without getting it up your nose or sloshed all over yourself. The drawback is that the smaller opening is not large enough for classic square ice cubes. If you are a fan of ice cold water, I suggest you invest in some “water bottle friendly” ice cube trays.

Additionally, this bottle has a convenient loop built into the cap that you can easily attach a d-ring clip to during active sports.

One feature that sets this bottle apart from others are the inspirational stones you can place under the cap. Each water bottle comes with two KOR stones in the cap. Now these stones are not your ordinary stones, so don’t expect to find a rock like you might find outside. The KOR stones actually look like small pieces of paper- FiberStone paper to be exact. The material is tree-free, water-proof and fully recyclable. These stones are placed in the cap so that every time you flip your cap for refreshment you are treated to an inspirational message through the clear top of the cap, mine reads “Imagine”.

Finally, the cap separates from the bottle with a simple twist so that cleaning is easier- this is so important as nobody likes opening their water bottle only to be greeted with the smell of mildew…yuck!

The KOR Delta 500ml bottle retails for $19.95 and comes in a variety of colors. While this may seem a bit pricey to some it is worth it if you want a stylish, functional, and uplifting hydration experience.
