#2: AquaFlask

Filipino brand, fraction of the Hydro Flask price, basically the same quality. I have the 32 oz version and it keeps water cold for a full day even in Thai heat, which is really the only test that matters. The customization options are fun if you care about that sort of thing. You can pick your color, lid type, and add accessories like silicone boots and different caps. The silicone bottom cover is actually useful because it prevents that annoying metal clang when you set it down and protects against dents. I've dropped mine on concrete more times than I'd like to admit and it still looks fine. The knockoff insulated bottle market is huge, especially in Asia, but most of them fail within months. Seals stop sealing, insulation stops insulating.

This one's lasted two years and I don't see it dying anytime soon. AquaFlask started in the Philippines and has expanded across Southeast Asia, Dubai, and beyond. You can order from their official website, find them on Lazada Philippines, Shopee, or check Zalora if you want official retail. If you're in the region, they're in most malls now too.
