What are the Original Bottles and Bottle Lids/Caps made from?
Chilly's Original Bottles are made from high-grade 18/8 stainless steel on both the inside and outside, this is a chromium-nickel-iron alloy (18% chromium & 8% nickel).
The Original Bottle lid/cap is made from stainless steel, plastic (polypropylene) and a silicon o-ring.
How best to use my Original Bottle?
For keeping your drinks cold we recommend filling your bottle with pre-chilled water from your fridge. Alternatively, you can fill your bottle direct from the tap and top up with ice cubes - why not check out our own Chilly's ice cube tray - the ideal shape for our bottles!
Please note, placing your bottle in the fridge or freezer will do nothing to change the temperature of the liquid inside due to the double-wall vacuum.
For keeping your drinks hot, we recommend filling your bottle with boiling water first to heat the inside. Then, empty out the boiling water and fill with a hot drink of choice.
Up to 24 hours cold is based on the water being very cold when poured into your bottle.
Up to 12 hours hot is based on filling your Chilly's Bottle with boiling hot water and keeping it shut. Results will significantly vary based on the temperature of the drink put in the bottle and how many times it's opened.
How big is the mouth/opening of the Original Bottles?
The 260ml and 500ml bottles have an opening of 3cm.
The 750ml bottle has an opening of 3.5cm.
Are the Original Bottles leak-proof?
Yes, Chilly's Original Bottles are leak-proof.*
Please note, this does not apply if the default lid is swapped for a Sports Lid accessory.
Our Original Bottles are designed with an airtight lid, which prevents any leaking and helps to keep water cold for up to 24 hours.
Do Chilly's Original Bottles fit in car cup holders?
Gone are the days when you'd have to resort to gulping down a bottle of lukewarm water from under the back seat; our Chilly's Bottles will keep your drinks cold (or hot), regardless of how stuffy it gets inside the car.
Please note that whilst the 260ml and 500ml Chilly's Original Bottles fit in the vast majority of car cup holders, it's best to check the bottle dimensions before embarking on a road trip.

The lid on my Chilly's Bottle is squeaking - what should I do?
This is quite common and can often happen as a result of the friction between the silicon o-ring and stainless steel neck of the bottle.
As this is a natural result of the material our bottles our made from, it's not something we can prevent. However, we've found that letting the bottle and lid dry out completely before use can minimise the squeaking sound.
Can the Original Bottles rust?
Chilly's Bottles are made from high-grade stainless steel on both the inside and outside, so they should not rust provided they are cleaned and stored correctly.
However, if liquids are left inside the bottle for longer than 24 hours this can eventually lead to rust developing.
We also recommend allowing your bottle to dry out fully after cleaning by storing it with the lid off when not in use. This just means that it won't stay damp on the inside for long periods of time, minimising the risk of the bottle rusting.
