Our products undergo routine testing and validation to meet and exceed established regulatory limits and neither are known to leach any harmful chemicals or present health risks.
Yes, all YETI drinkware and accessories are BPA free. Your YETI provides endless opportunities for outdoor adventure.
Overall, both #5 PP and #2 HDPE are numbers of plastic that are safe and practical choices for reusable water bottles. When choosing water bottle, consider your needs and preferences when making your selection.
In 2021, YETI and its suppliers successfully eliminated the use of all long chain PFAS from production in all product categories.
Through this research paper focusing on the life-cycle of designs, I decided to focus on the raw materials that go into producing the YETI Rambler water bottle. These bottles are made from materials such as 18/8 kitchen-grade stainless steel, UV-resistant polyethylene, and nylon.
Yes. All YETI® Drinkware is BPA free.
Our Rambler Bottles are insulated, which means when you fill it with ice water, you can expect your water to stay nice and icy cold, even on scorching days or when left sitting in your car. The same goes for holding hot temperatures.
Most plastic water bottles are made of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic. At least 150 chemicals are known to leach from PET plastic beverage bottles into the liquid inside, including heavy metals like antimony and lead, and hormone-disruptors like BPA.
Perrier Natural Sparkling Mineral Water, La Croix Natural Sparkling Water, Canada Dry Lemon Lime Sparkling Seltzer Water, Poland Spring Zesty Lime Sparkling Water, Bubly Blackberry Sparkling Water, Polar Natural Seltzer Water, and Topo Chico Natural Mineral Water all had PFAS levels higher than 1 part per trillion.
Microplastic contamination is associated with oxidative stress, immune system dysregulation, and changes in blood fat levels. And BPA exposure has been linked to later-life health issues, such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity, they add.
Our Magslider™ lids are made of BPA free polypropylene #5 and are made of Eastman Tritan™. Our products undergo routine testing and validation to meet and exceed established regulatory limits and neither are known to leach any harmful chemicals or present health risks.
Our tests favored Hydro Flask (it's one of our winners, in fact). It has excellent cold retention and a convenient straw lid and it can fit in your car's cup holder easily. However, Yeti water bottles are also good—if you prefer that chug-style cap. And you'd be equally happy with its cold retention and durability.
A recent study also found that bottled water can contain 10 to 100 times more plastic than previously estimated — nanoparticles so tiny that they can migrate through our digestive tract or lungs and into the bloodstream, potentially distributing harmful chemicals through the body.
Which bottled water has the least microplastics? According to a study of 11 globally sourced bottled water brands, San Pellegrino has the least microplastics. Gerolsteiner and Nestlé Pure Life were found to have the most.
Research finds microplastics in our stool and urine. And Joana Prata says her review of animal data suggests that, in principle, most of what we ingest or inhale will leave the body during a trip to the bathroom.
Other types of common water treatment systems, such as water softeners or iron filtration systems, are not likely to remove PFAS. Boiling water will not remove PFAS. While many homes have whole-house water softening or iron filtration systems, sampling data indicate that those systems do NOT remove PFAS.
Are Brita Pitcher Filters Certified to Reduce PFAS? Yes, the Brita Elite Filter is certified under NSF/ANSI 53 to reduce perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)—specifically PFOS and PFOA—in drinking water. The Standard Brita filter is not certified for the removal of PFOS or PFOA.
It's therefore important to clarify that stainless steel does not contain PFAS/PFOS.
Why are YETI coolers so expensive? There are two pretty simple answers: technology and marketing. The Austin, Texas-based company was founded by the Seiders brothers: two avid outdoorsmen who felt there weren't any coolers on the market that kept their catches, kills, and beverages cold enough for long enough.
Rambler® Bottles are not intended for use with carbonated beverages or for storage of perishables, including food and drinks that will spoil. These items can cause pressure to build up over time which can result in the cap being difficult to remove; or, forcefully eject and cause injury.
The Rambler® Straw Cap and Rambler® Straw Lid are not intended for use with hot beverages.
