Looking for Stainless Steel Insulated Bottle (recommendations please)
I am looking for a stainless steel insulated bottle. Preferred size is 500 mL.
The nearest store to me sells Hydro Flask.
I would like some other recommendations.
Some of my own research so far: Hydro Flask is owned by Helen of Troy (Nasdaq: HELE). I have come across Klean Kanteen, they seem like a good company but I'd have to ship in because it is not in store.
Ideally I'd like to support a company that is a co-operative or B-corp and not owned by a conglomerate traded on the Nasdaq/NYSE.
Obviously Canadian is preferred if possible.

Grosche is Ontario based, sells insulated bottles, and is B Corp Certified.
Other drinks related Canadian B Corp Certified companies (but I couldn't find bottles for):
Thank you for the recommendation.
I don't like bottles with built in straws. It just becomes another thing to clean. I prefer narrow mouth bottles.
The Alpine Flip 'n Sip is sooo close. If it was a narrow mouth bottle I would've gone for it.
Not Canadian nor co-op, but I swear by Zojirushi bottles.
This is the way.
Thank you very much for the suggestion.
This is very much the front runner.
However, the company behind this is a corporation is a publicly traded company on the JPX (https://www2.jpx.co.jp/tseHpFront/StockSearch.do?callJorEFlg=1&method=topsearch&topSearchStr=7965)
Those are high quality, but I'd go with Grosche which is Canadian
https://www.chillymoose.ca/ is Canadian, but I don't think they make their bottles here.
I took a look at it. TBH, I get "drop shipping" vibes from the website, will have to investigate further.
Hey, OP.
Did you end up getting a bottle?
I'm currently looking to replace my plastic cycling bottles with stainless steel or titanium, but where my default would be Klean Kanteen (yes, American, but their values are second to none), it's hard to find high-quality, lightweight (for cycling!) bottles around.
I'm almost tempted to buy titanium bottles from Aliexpress and call it a day.
I just kept the hydro flask at the end of the day. The other options required shipping and were more pricier. I was in Quebec at the time and weirdly enough the big box stores don't store the same things there as elsewhere in Canada, nor do they have free shipping to Quebec.
