About Hexglo
In stripped down terms, Hexglo is a simple yet uniquely different sports bottle, it can be used for cycling, training, hiking and camping but also for practical everyday purposes like carrying water to work, school etc.
The bottle features a single, hand operated lock & open cap system which is stylish and allows users to easily operate the bottle with a single hand.
Also due to many concerns with safety and water quality, the bottle is made using high quality Triton plastic which is 100% BPA free and is completely eco-friendly.
So.. What’s Different?
This is where things start to get interesting, the bottle features a number of exciting options which set it apart from any other water bottle available in the market today. These features include:
Portable Lantern:
Hexglo can be doubled up and used as a portable lantern by the simple click of a button.
The unique hexagonal profile design allows for light to be spread out uniformly and radiantly in all directions either indoors or outdoors.
Spotlight (completely detachable):
The light system which is attached to the base of the bottle can be easily detached by turning and pulling it in a downwards direction.
This allows for it to be used as a wide angle flashlight that is ideal for camping or for other outdoor purposes, one can also hang the module inside a tent or on a tree which allows it to function as a spotlight.
Fits easily:
The design has been crafted in such a way that it can fit easily into any bicycle holder, also when the light module is switched on it can serve as a light if an individual is cycling at night.
The light not only makes it easier to locate the bottle but is also an effective means of good visual alert to others.
Soothing Light Feature:
There is also a unique feature which allows for the light to glow softly at ever increasing/decreasing intensities.
This feature is perfect for users looking to calm themselves or getting some well-deserved rest.
Rechargeable System:
There is no need for batteries as the bottle comes with an inbuilt 3600 mAh lithium battery which is good enough to power the system up to 4 hours on bright and 8 hours on normal.
