Description of KOR ONE BPA Free Hydration Vessel
Each of the KOR One Hydration Vessels represents a specific water related cause. KOR has selected four nonprofits for the Thirst for Giving program based on the extraordinary work they are doing for the causes KOR supports.The average U.S. consumer discarded 167 single-use water bottles last year. Of these 167, only 20 were recycled; the rest of the oil-based bottles went into landfills or wound up as litter. Now you can do your part to promote a greener lifestyle--and enjoy a strikingly beautiful design in the process--with the KOR ONE hydration vessel. Offering everything you want in a multi-use water bottle, the KOR ONE boasts an elliptical shape that's inspired by the organic beauty of blown glass, with a sparkling body that stands out in a crowd. More importantly, the bottle eagerly quenches your thirst thanks to the "no-worry-cap" swivel, which opens with a press of a button and a twist of the wrist. Not only does this reveal a mouth wide enough for a satisfying flow, but it's also designed to minimize splashing. And users will appreciate the bottle's slim, ergonomic design, which fits in most cup holders and water-bottle pockets.
Promoting Healthy Lifestyles
Most refillable water bottles are made of polycarbonate, even though scientists have known for years that Bisphenol-A (BPA), a chemical used in the polycarbonate manufacturing process, leaches into whatever liquid goes inside (BPA is a known hormone disruptor that's been linked to birth defects). That's why the Kor One is made from Eastman Tritan, which offers the clarity and performance of polycarbonate but without the dangers of BPA. It's also safer to refill the Kor One than to re-fill single-use bottles, which tend to act as breeding grounds for bacteria. Many single-use bottles are made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which studies indicate leaches potentially harmful amounts of antimony and other chemicals, especially as the bottle breaks down from re-use. The KOR ONE, by contrast, is easy to clean and stays safe throughout its lifetime.
Perhaps the most important benefit that the Kor One provides, however, is an immediate delivery system for your body's most important substance: water. Your body contains up to 70 percent water, and every metabolic system depends on it. Even minor dehydration can have significant effects, ranging from fatigue and headaches to indigestion and muscle cramps. The KOR ONE helps overcome these problems by giving you instant access to water, helping keep your muscles and joints happy and lubricated, distributing vitamins and other nutrients throughout the body, and helping remove lactic acid, dead cells, and toxins that would otherwise slow you down (or worse).
A Sustainable Choice
According to the Pacific Institute, the amount of petroleum required to make, ship, and distribute the average single-use water bottle would fill 25 percent of the bottle itself. So when you drink a bottle of water, you're also consuming the equivalent of a quarter of the bottle's volume in oil. The Earth Policy Institute estimates that bottled water consumption is the global warming equivalent of three million cars driven for a year. Drinking from a reusable water bottle, however, is a simple but empowering change. You may not be able to reverse global warming single-handedly, but collectively we can make a difference by changing our water consumption habits.

The company's goal is not only to provide much-needed funds to these organizations, but to engage their customers on issues such as recycling, watershed protection, and the global water crisis. Each of the four KOR One Hydration Vessels represents a specific water-related cause:
- Ice Blue: Ocean Protection, partnered with The Algalita Marine Research Foundation
- Sawgrass Green: Watershed Protection, partnered with The Wetlands Initiative
- Sunrise Orange: Bottle Container Recycling, partnered with Container Recycling Institute

Sports reviews of KOR ONE BPA Free Hydration Vessel
Customer Review: I Am So Cool with This Bottle . . .
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
It really is stylish and eye-catching. I use it at work and people are always asking where they can buy one. I like it because when I go to a meeting, I can lay it down on its side instead of have it sticking up tallways and blocking people's view. It does not leak when laying down, upside down or anything. Very easy to carry around. Also like the drinking opening and the cover does not crash into your mouth -- it stays open while you are drinking, then closes very securely shut. I have the blue one; I have seen also pink and orange -- all super cool. As with all my stylish accessories, I don't toss them around, so I don't expect mine to break. Be a little careful -- it isn't a basketball, but it isn't a baby either. Normal use and I expect it to last forever.Customer Review: Very nice water bottle

This is a very nice water bottle. The design is really eye-catching! I had been looking for a really "cool" looking bottle for a while and during one of the scenes in Iron Man 2 saw this and immediately did a bit of research to find it. I was surprised at how large it was when it arrived, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Obviously this wouldn't be ideal for cycling or hiking -- I think of it more as a city water bottle and take it to class or in the car with me. People love it and I've even had people ask for the name and purchase one for themselves after seeing it. BPA free is a huge bonus, helping the environment is great, and staying healthy by drinking more is important. All around a good purchase!Customer Review: Love it!

I've had this hydration vessel for several months now and I love it! Its probably one of the coolest, most innovative things I've seen this year. Its an interesting little piece of thing and I get random people that would stop me, ask me about it and say how cool it looks. I have been so happy with it that I bought one of the special edition ones just today from [...] using this coupon code that I found online: KWS-12433 and got up to 5 dollars off my purchase. This company is doing such great things donating 1% of the sales to the planet and eliminates my use of disposable bottles.Customer Review: Wonderful Water Bottle
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I absolutely love this water bottle! Beautiful and functional! I have an extensive collection of water bottles; Sigg, Nalgene, Camebak, Platypus, etc...This one is my new favorite! (Edging out my Hello Kitty Sigg!) Love the color and graphics. So far no issues with leaks or breakage. I got the Orchid Pink Special Edition. I use mine during hot yoga class and love that I don't have to unscrew a cap or flip up a straw. Lid opens easily and I like the smooth mouth of the bottle. Planning on ordering the Orange one and also getting these for friends!Customer Review: LOVED IT!

I absolutely love these bottles! It's crazy but everyone always asks me about it and where I got it. They're so sleek looking and great to carry water in. They were also the first to start the no BPA craze. I will always be brand loyal to them and I will always use my Kor bottle. I already have 2 and plan to get the other 2 colors.
Also, The coupon code: KWS-12533 gets you 15% off your order on Kor's website. Anyways, thought I'd share this with my fellow Kor lovers.
