The goal isn’t to live forever, the goal is to create something that will. – Chuck Palahniuk  

The legend started back in 1913, in Great Barrington, MA. Through the fusion of vacuum insulation and the strength of steel in one portable bottle,  William Stanley Jr. forever changed the way hot drinks were consumed. Legendary status pursued, and now, more than a century later, the company he founded continues to create legendary technology to serve the all-day food and beverage needs.

New Areolight IceFlow Collection

We all know Stanley for its uber-viral Quencher tumbler — and while it’s the brand’s most recognizable product, it’s actually not its best. Stanley, who has been making the best insulated bottles on earth for over 100 years, recently released what many already say might be the best-insulated water bottle ever. The praise doesn’t end there either — it’s cheaper, more compact, and more secure than the Stanley Quencher and is already going viral.

Delivering the same cold beverages we’ve come to expect from STANLEY while dropping a portion of weight compared to similar models, the new AREOLIGHT ICEFLOW Bottles are designed for the rigors of life. Let’s be honest… between school, work, and a million things on your to-do list, you have enough weighing you down. You don’t need your hydration solution adding to the complexities of life. 

The AeroLight collection is available in four sizes ranging from 16oz to a massive 50 oz, and offers a stunning color palette (11 colors to be exact) to ensure you can find the perfect bottle for your lifestyle.

AeroLight™ featherweight technology uses spun steel that is 33% lighter than standard stainless-steel drinkware.  Though the walls are thinner and lighter than ever before, the pro-grade stainless steel ensures a super sturdy design keeping your cold drinks icy cold for up to 10 hours. Durable stainless steel designs have made Stanley a leader in reusability for over a hundred years, and the Areolight Iceflow bottles are no exception to this rule. as part of STANLEY’S commitment to sustainability, the body of these new bottles are made from 90% recycled steel.

The leakproof, angled Fast Flow Lid is designed for quick and easy pouring, drinking, and cleaning. Snap the cap into the handle’s integrated holder for storage while you drink.  Admittedly, the easy-carry handle can feel slightly bulky on the larger-sized bottles – but it’s nothing that would prevent us from purchasing this for anyone and everyone we know.

In Closing…

The new Aerolight Icelfow Bottles offer all the goodness of Stanley in a lighter, speaker design. Perhaps the only drawback is that only the 16-ounce and 24-ounce sizes are compatible with car cup holders. But in a house full of insulated options, the new Areolight series has become the Gumption go-to favorite.
