Music festival season is fast approaching, which means you need to start arming yourself with the proper gear to get you through.
Our pick for a product that you should have in your festival arsenal is Stanley‘s new product, the Clutch Bottle, an innovative hybrid that takes form and function to heart. The bottle is equipped with a PU leather wrist strap that keeps your bottle within arm’s reach. The innovation retails for $55 and is 16oz.
If you’re looking to go hands-free, the bottle comes with a longer strap that lets you wear your hydration accessory over the shoulder or crossbody if you’re looking to switch up your look. The accompanying straps can be attached to both the top and bottom of the bottle. Just keep the bottle empty upon entry to a festival, and you should be good to carry the bottle around much like a purse with little to no effort.
The Clutch Bottle
This is a Stanley bottle meets a clutch, a unique hybrid that comes in three colors.
The bottle itself is standard Stanley fare, made of insulating stainless steel. The bottle is not round, but rather a hexagonal shape that is easier to stow in bags or cupholders. The area you drink from is covered up with a clear tethered twist-off cap that is leakproof, great for folks prone to spilling, like myself. Obviously, we’re big fans of the pink rose quartz gloss hue; however, you’ve got more neutral tones like your standard black and cream. This bottle is dishwasher safe, which is amazing news for people who kind of hate cleaning their bottles by hand. It’s a hassle, so we don’t blame you.
If a clutch-inspired Stanley wasn’t enough, the brand also launched The Clutch Bottle Side-Kit for $45 in corresponding colors. Your bottle will go in the front bottle pouch of your side-kit, and lock down tight with the bottle securing strap to keep it from budging. The accessory also includes a zippered main pocket that can fit all your essentials like your wallet, phone, keys and even your headphones. The gear is even better for festivals since you have room for things like snacks, wristbands and sunscreen.
The Clutch Bottle Side-Kit
This is a holder for Stanley’s new The Clutch Bottle. The fanny pack-esque model comes in three colors that correspond with the bottle colors.
Beyond music festival applications, we can also envision this accompanying piece working great for runners or those looking for a hands-free way to carry their bottle while on a walk or a hike through the forest. The side-kit can be worn vertically or horizontally thanks to the adjustable shoulder strap and easy connection clips, giving you a range of styling options depending on your mood. It’s sort of like an elevated fanny pack that can carry a surprising amount.
