Win the latest “Perfect Spout” water bottle

Kor has been producing quality reusable water bottles since their inception in 2008. With forward-thinking design, they excel at creating functional H20 portage and are committed to changing the habits of the Dasani-swilling masses, The release of their newest vessel, the Vida, does nothing less than reinvent the steel water carrier.

Kor’s steel bottle uses Kor’s “Perfect Spout” technology, which is designed to feel smooth and natural against the lip—unlike most bottles where you hit the screw-top threading or wide-mouths that make it hard to not dribble while drinking. Topped with a handle that makes it easy to clip or carry, the tapered shape of the bottle feels good in the hand too. Finishes include Anthracite, Natural Finish and Arctic White, which add to its sturdy and sleek appearance. The Vida is available in 500 ($22) and 750ml ($25) sizes and sells from the Kor site, but we’re giving away five bottles at random to our Twitter followers! To enter, simply retweet our link to this story with #vida before midnight EST on Wednesday, 23 March 2010.
