Competitive Cyclist Collab 800ml

In case you haven't noticed, we don't attach our name to products that we don't believe in. And while we love our cycling kits, and the growing trend of European manufacturing's eco-responsibility, none of our co-branded products have really had a cause. Yes, we know that the world's problems appear to be so difficult and so vast that becoming overwhelmed and disengaged is almost the natural response. But, although the perspective commonly eludes us, our lives are a series of personal choices. And now, in the 21st century, we have the choice to make our purchases count for something other than feeding our wants and needs. That's right, we're talking about investing in a difference. And no, not in the donate five cents at the grocery store kind of way, we're talking about purchasing top-quality products like the MiiR Competitive Cyclist Collab Bottle, while knowing that your purchase will provide one person clean drinking water for an entire year in some of the world's poorest regions.

We understand if you reserve a hint of skepticism, as much of the money from charity-oriented products is horribly mismanaged, and at times, distributed in a downright shady fashion. However, this couldn't be further from the truth with MiiR. With every bottle purchase, every cent of one dollar goes directly to those in need. How? In the forms of both clean water and sanitation projects. But, how can you be sure that your donation is being spent appropriately? Well, after you register your purchase, MiiR will notify you within 6 to 18 months of the location of the well project that your dollar created. Additionally, you get a numbered bracelet with every bottle purchase for reference of your good deed.

Now, the reasons are stacking as to why the MiiR clean water program is necessary. It's estimated that everyday, around 6,000 people die from water-born disease. On top of that, the World Health Organization estimates that nearly half of the world's hospital beds are occupied by people suffering from water-borne illness. Altogether, this is the result of 1 in 8 people simply not having access to clean drinking water. This lack of clean water, and the conditions that arise from it, produce a volatile concoction of health and economic crisis. In fact, it's estimated to cost developing countries around $28 billion a year -- roughly 5% of GDP (UN Study). Luckily, your $1 and MiiR's dedication can change these statistics.

Now, MiiR isn't trying to hook you in with a sob story and colored bracelet. The Insulated Bottle is actually a well-crafted, purpose-driven bottle that you would be happy to use anyways. It's BPA free, fits in both cup holders and bottle cages, and it features a one-twist top that easily secures to a carabiner. Every bottle is made from South Korean-sourced, 18/8 stainless steel that's easily cleanable and remains odor-free.

So, you have a choice: Purchase a bottle that benefits do-nothing corporations, or purchase a bottle that will positively impact someone's life for an entire year. Seems like a simple decision.

The MiiR Competitive Cyclist Collab 800ml Bottle is available in the color White with the Competitive Cyclist logo.
