Like every other material, Titanium has its trade-offs. It’s lightweight, transfers heat and cold very quickly, has a high melting point, is much less reactive than other metals, and, though it will dent, is still relatively durable compared to other materials of the same dimensions and mass. It’s not “crap” or “trash” - it just is what it is. If you are in the market for the qualities possessed by Titanium, go for it. If not, buy something else.
Its a horrible bottle lol, stfu. I have a titanium bottle and its not garbage. This snowpeaks bottle is fckin garbage
Very informative review, thank you Jason
Glad you enjoyed it, happy camping!
To anyone even thinking about buying this, DONT. Dings easily. Not insulated and it’s $150.00. Not to mention, cap breaks easily
I agree and disagree. I agree it dents easier than say something like a hydroflask. I have been using the gray aurora as my daily water bottle for the last 3 years. There are some minor dents from everyday use. But in my opinion, the dents give the bottle wabi-sabi character. The non-insulated has its benefits. I like to use my aurora water bottle to boil water on my backpacking stove for purification and freeze dried meals. Something you can't do with an insulated bottle. Not to mention this bottle is so much lighter than anything insulated. Something many backpackers can appreciate. Also, I have never had any issues with the cap breaking. I do think 150 is a bit too pricey but I have seen these go on sale for around 100. Definitely worth the pick up at that price.
@@thomasedwaits a terrible bottle
@@hammloc to each their own. i think it fits my use cases well. if you want great craftsmanship and want to avoid buying chinese made products you cant beat it!
Hi great video! Any comment on the rainbow finish over time? I'm ok w dents, but does it discolor / fade? Especially if you're considering putting it over a fire to boil..
Hi PhilSo! Thanks for your question. We haven't noticed the anodization fading necessarily over time, but you will get scrapes and scratches which make it appear less vibrant over time. Because of the grooved surface texture scratches are less impactful than on other perfectly smooth bottles out there. We see those earned imperfections as part of the character or wabi sabi of the piece. And, yes, you're right on with fire usage - it will just get blackened and sooty. If you intend to use it over the fire regularly (not just for an emergency boil) then we'd recommend the standard Ti finish. One other old school hack for any pot/pan or bottle is to coat the exterior surface with bar soap or liquid soap (and let it dry on) before usage over the fire and this usually makes them easier to clean after the fact getting most or all of the soot off. Otherwise that soot is tricky or impossible to remove. Hope this helps and happy camping!
how do they hold up against digs and bangs, I read some people mention its dents very easily (attached to backpacked and it clacked abit in the back and ended up denting) thanks in advance, also awesome review ive been looking for a review on this product before spending the money
Hi Roberto, thanks for reaching out with your question! The Auroras use a pretty thin gauge titanium, that's what makes them so light! So yes, they are a little more prone to denting than some other heavier duty bottles out there. I've found it's all about how well you take care of your gear. I don't recommend clipping it to the outside of a pack for example. It will bang around and worse, when you take your pack off you're likely to lay it down directly on the bottle, and in that environment it's definitely going to pick up more wear and tear. I always keep mine in the water bottle pocket or sleeve on my pack or inside the pack itself. You could also keep it in a sleeve to really protect it. I've damaged a number of metal bottles over the years by dropping them on a hard surface or trying to use them to hammer stakes, in --we don't recommend that either! I found the Aurora bottles to hold up similarly to other ultralight bottles on the market, but you do have to take care of them, and they will get scratched and pick up a few dinks and dents along the way. In Japanese culture, its referred to as wabi-sabi, the character and patina that comes to an item during a lifetime of use (and all the adventure stories those dents and scratches represent). Glad you enjoyed the review and let us know if you have any additional questions. Happy Camping!
No the bottle sucks.
It wont hold water cold/hot for long and dent easy. This is a rip off
Watch GMM Episode of 16.01.24 (Is this 153$ Bottle Worth It) it sucks
@@TheUnownA That channel is brain rot and their "team" are just as clueless as they are. If someone is not able to understand that a double wall, vacuum insulated bottle is a more efficient insulator than a single wall bottle, then they need to go back to elementary school.
This isn't some ground-breaking discovery, insulated bottles are a dime a dozen. They're the same thing Hydro Flask, Stanley, etc. sell and yes there are very cheap unbranded ones on Amazon. The whole point of the Snow Peak bottle (that they never mention because they're clueless) is that it's lightweight and can be used as a container to heat or boil liquids on a burner. If you want to haul your heavy steel bottle on a hike and then have it blow up in your face on a burner, be my guest.
@Cirq Rentals, How well does this nest with the Snow Peak Trek 700?
Hi sage! Great question. Nesting...so satisfying. These nest together incredibly well! The Aurora will sit into the Trek 700 with about a half inch (1.27cm) total extra space on the side (1/4 inch (.6 cm) on each side if you center). You can keep a pack towel in between to reduce the rattle. The Aurora is a good bit taller than the 700 but both can nest and fit really well inside a pack or bottle pocket on the exterior. Thanks for your question and happy camping!
@@CirqRentals , Thanks for the response!
just buy a thermal sleeve like i did to add that feature that is lost to make up for the non double insulation
Great suggestion, that will definitely do it and minimal additional weight. Thanks & Happy Camping!
@@CirqRentalslol thermal sleeves are not going be ANYWHERE near enough to keep a beverage hot or cold in this bottle, simply because Titanium alone conducts and transfers too much heat, and no amount of unsealed covering is gonna keep that heat in. Also, as long as your bottle is not more than like half a kilo, it makes no difference since you're gonna be carrying teh water's weight anyways.
😂 Just watched Rhett and Link review this piece of trash. Doesn't keep water cold and is not durable at all.
Yep, its a piece of overpriced crap
it's not supposed to keep the water cold... it's not an insulated bottle. really weird from Rhett and Link to compare these bottles, they serve very different purposes. that being said, the product is still somewhat useless. if you are out in nature and need something light to carry your water, you can just use simple plastic bottles - they are lighter and cheaper.
This is definitely not the right bottle for your application. If you want to keep something hot or cold, please look for a double wall, vacuum insulated bottle. The Aurora is very very thin single wall titanium. It's designed to be incredibly light, but not keep things cold or hot. If you like Snow Peak, try the Kanpai insulated bottles. Hope you find a great insulated bottle for your needs and happy camping!
@@CirqRentals good point but how can you justify its questionable built quality? Seriously, its supposed to be an oudtoor bottle but it cant even handle a simple drop?
This is probably designed for city slickers who want to pretend like they have an ounce of business being out in the wilderness 😂.
This is the biggest POS water bottle doesnt keep anything cold very long

That's the worst water bottle people. Dents like snow and holds the temperature worse than plastic ones.

The Aurora is very very thin single wall titanium. It's designed to be incredibly light, but not keep things cold or hot, and you do have to be careful with it just like all ultralight gear.

Hard pass from me at this price point. I could see this at a comparable price to a stainless insulated container from any of the popular brands. Then one could make a logical choice. Insulated and heavy, or non-insulated super light titanium for 50-60 bucks. And let's be honest, nobody is going to put this on open flame and risk warping it.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it. I also rock a single wall stainless steel Nalgene. The Aurora is definitely not the value play, more of an investment in self. It's $$$, but smooooooth as silk! Thanks for you note and happy camping!
