Zojirushi Stainless Cool Bottle SD-KA lineup

Research indicates that adult exercise tends to focus on "health maintenance" and "hobbies" rather than competitive athletic pursuits. The new bottle is designed to meet the needs of adults who engage in regular physical activity, featuring a Smart Cap that allows for quick hydration during workouts and a foldable handle for easy portability. The product is available in four sizes to suit various activities.

2. Long-Lasting Cold Retention

Impressive Cold Retention with Stainless Vacuum Double-Wall Construction

Even in hot weather, the bottle maintains cold beverage temperatures for extended periods.

Cold retention performance: Water at 4°C stays below 9°C after 6 hours (60/75 sizes) / below 8°C (100/120 sizes)

(Cold retention performance is measured at room temperature 20°C ± 2°C, with the product filled to the level indicated in the instruction manual and placed vertically, starting from a water temperature of 4°C ± 1°C.)

Wide Opening (Approximately 5cm) for Easy Filling

Makes it easy to add beverages and ice.

Condensation Prevention Structure

The lid incorporates an air insulation layer, minimizing condensation even when filled with cold beverages.

3. Easy Maintenance Design

Industry-First Seamless Lid Combining Lid and Seal

No need to remove a separate seal for washing, making maintenance simple. The one-piece lid design achieves superior ease of care.

Note: First in the industry for stainless steel bottles to integrate the lid and seal into a single unit (as of July 30, 2020, according to Zojirushi research)

Dishwasher Safe

All parts (lid assembly, body, bottom cover) are dishwasher compatible.

Sports Drink Compatible with LaClaire Plus Interior Coating

The interior features LaClaire Plus coating, which offers higher corrosion resistance than conventional electropolishing, making it resistant to rust from salt-containing beverages like sports drinks. Stains are easy to remove, simplifying cleaning.

Full Body Washable

Do not submerge in water for extended periods.
