Not that’s it’s worth the extra price, but I am not a fan of RTICs lid at all. The rubber seal folds over, and the small vent hole seals when you flip the mouth opening closed. When there is really hot liquid in there it causes the air to expand and push up on the lid.

This is a particular nitpick but something that has seriously bothered me with the one I have haha

I have a current pair of Blundstones that I love that I got last year, but have heard their quality isn’t as good as it used to be. Good to know that once those kick it (hopefully not for a while as I try to maintain them while also using them heavily) that there are these to look into

Yeti gets shit (rightfully) for overpriced products, but their wide mouth water bottles are legitimately really great. Damn near bullet proof (drove off with mine on my car where it slammed on the concrete at speed, whoops), like you are wanting very wide mouth (more than most of the other bottles), and it has a nice big handle on the lid that I personally like. I had hydro flask for a while before the insulation failed (outer wall punctured) but I’ve enjoyed the yeti more

Ok so it’s not the most established brand and I’ve only had my watch for about a year, but I have a Vaer field watch (nice basic but sturdy watch, pretty low profile) that I really really like. Pretty affordable and from what I can tell it’s bulletproof. I wear it daily, including skiing, climbing, camping, fishing etc. Hit it against stuff, drop it, it’s submerged often (not the biggest fear for a watch I know), and it looks like new still. Would recommend checking them out.
