Thermos is partnering with Under Armour to create a line of BPA-free, co-branded and insulated bottles that will be available beginning in May 2011 at sporting goods retailers. The line will include insulated stainless steel bottles, Tritan plastic bottles and squeezable bottles and feature four  interchangeable lids, which includes a range of designs from a traditional screw top lid to an innovative flip-top spout lid with one hand push button operation.


 “This partnership allows us to reach a segment that already makes up Under Armour’s core consumer, the active athlete who relies on staying hydrated to perform at his or her best,” said Rick Dias, President and Chief Operating Officer at Thermos. “Given the strong correlation between cold hydration and improved athletic performance, we’re confident that this partnership will result in superior hydration for better performance at all athletic levels.”


“Under Armour is constantly pursuing new innovations and products to help give athletes an edge in performance,” said Edward Giard, VP Licensing and Accessories at Under Armour. “Our partnership with Thermos, a leader in the hydration bottle category, allows us to continue our mission to make all athletes better and equip them with the best performance gear possible.”


It has long been recognized that drinking cold beverages helps enhance athletes’ overall health, endurance and hydration. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends that water and other drinks be chilled when used for exercise for superior performance and faster recovery. Research shows that cold beverages are absorbed more quickly by the body and also protect against heat gain during training*.  In the hydration bottle category, only Genuine Thermos® Brand insulated products feature unique Thermos® vacuum insulation technology that keeps beverages cold for 12-24 hours.
