The New GSI Outdoors Microlite 500

 

By: Ingrid Niehaus

GSI Outdoors Microlite 500 – It’s one-third lighter than anything of its kind on the market.  It’s 60% thinner.  It’s GSI Outdoors’ new Microlite 500 vacuum bottle.  Drawing on the artistic heritage of GSI Outdoors’ design team, the 7.9 ounces, 2.2mm thin-walled bottle excels in maintaining eight-hour hot/cold vacuum performance. The combination of these features enhances comfort while carrying hot or cold beverages into the backcountry while commuting or for trail or urban hiking. Functionally, the two part top comes apart for easy cleaning, avoiding a major complaint with many bottles. A push-button, flip top cap lock closes for transport and opens for easy and dripless drinking. The technology is an indicator of why GSI Outdoors is a leading supplier of outdoor cook- and tableware and related accessories.  MSRP: $25.98
