PDW FT Insulated Water Bottles

Ruggedized-Design, Highest Performance, Stainless Vacuum-Insulated Bottles

Prometheus Design Werx releases their newest FT series water bottles, featuring a custom fluted body design which increases material strength and improves tactile grip when wet. These hold 950ml/32oz of liquidwhich is just about 1L, less a sip. Durable, food grade, copper lined 18/8 stainless-steel and vacuum sealed to keep drinks cold or hot, longer. As lifelong backpackers and dispersed campers, PDW prefers and chooses to design their bottles with a “lab-standard wide mouth” opening, which is easy to fill with ice, compatible with many popular backcountry water filters, as well as many aftermarket caps. The unique design of the FT water bottle series was inspired by vintage bicycle parts, deflective armor, industrial-tool handles, precision barrels, and vintage bicycle racing bottles from the 40s-50s.

The FT Insulated Water Bottles comes in a powered coated Wilderness Green, Mission Gray, and a brushed Stainless-Steel finish.

PDW’s Founder and Chief Designer Design states:

“When designing these water bottles, I simply looked around my workshop for the many industrial and tool inspirations surrounding me. From the vintage Campagnolo gruppo on one my bikes, tool-machine levers and handles, to precision barrels. Fluting on the water bottle bodies not only increase the tactile nature for gripping when wet but also increases the stiffness and resistance to deformation. We use only the best manufacturing processes, which includes adding the copper lining inside the vacuum walls for the best thermal efficiency, a food-grade 18-8 stainless steel body, and now includes a plastic-free stainless-steel cap as well as a nylon sport cap with flip-top.”

The FT Insulated Water Bottles will be available Wednesday, February 19th, 2025 at 12:00pm Pacific via their website, prometheusdesignwerx.com.

    Why would you want a copper layer with its great thermal conduction instead of just steel which has a pretty low thermal conduction?

      PDW doesn’t offer anything that’s actually functional. They’re more about appearance than actual performance.
