What makes Forestrails Clay bottles unique?

Are Forestrails clay bottles safe for everyday use?
Absolutely! Forestrails clay bottles are made from natural clay, free from toxins and chemicals, making them safe and perfect for everyday hydration.
Do Forestrails bottles keep water cool?
Forestrails Clay bottles keep water cool naturally due to the porous nature of clay.
Here’s how it works:
- Evaporative Cooling: The tiny pores in the clay allow a small amount of water to seep through to the outer surface of the bottle. As this water evaporates, it absorbs heat from the bottle and its contents, effectively cooling the water inside.
- Thermal Insulation: Clay also acts as a natural insulator, slowing down the transfer of heat from the surrounding environment to the water inside, helping to maintain a cooler temperature for longer.
This natural cooling process not only keeps the water refreshing but also avoids the need for refrigeration or synthetic materials. It’s one of the reasons clay bottles have been used for centuries in hot climates!
