If you’re of this planet, you’re well aware by now that Stanley 40-Ounce Quencher Tumblers have all but taken over the kitchens (and hands) of people everywhere. Its popularity has grown so much so fast that Stanley put the brakes on restocking certain popular colors to avoid even more mayhem. My kitchen cabinet contains a blue 40-ounce tumbler, but that’s not the one I reach for every day. While it keeps my drinks cold and helps me hit my H2O goals, it’s a bit heavy, it can’t be tossed in my handbag, and pursing my lips around the straw can cause more mouth wrinkles.
I am a fan of the brand, however, so instead, my go-to bottle is its 20-Ounce AeroLight Transit Bottle that’s $35 at Target and doesn’t get the attention it deserves. While it holds half the amount of liquid, that’s a more practical option for me thanks to its easy-to-transport design. I can throw it in my purse when I’m on the go, and it has an airtight locking lid that prevents leaks and folds down flat. I tested it by holding it upside down and shaking it while full and not a single drop came out.
Plus, unlike carrying around the oversized tumbler, as much of a status symbol as that may be, the AeroLight Transit is made with the brand’s featherweight spun-steel technology, which is a fancy way of saying it’s 33% lighter than the stainless steel used in Stanley’s other drinkware, including the tumbler. I can confirm it’s incredibly lightweight for the size, even more than smaller bottles I own.
It’s also super slim, so while it doesn’t have a carrying handle, I can easily and comfortably fit my petite hands around while holding it and drinking. The narrow design takes up little space in my water bottle cabinet when it’s not in use. It still features the same cold/hot insulation technology, so my ice water stays icy for up to 40 hours, and my hot tea stays warm for up to 8 hours.
I love that when you lift the lid, it’s tricky to tell how the water will come out, but as soon as you tilt it up, it has the right amount of flow to quench my thirst. The lid also snaps all the way back so it lies flat while I’m drinking and doesn’t rub against my nose. Oh, and I don’t have to worry about increasing my chance of getting wrinkles around my mouth thanks to the pursing of your lips motion required when sipping from a straw.
Shoppers who opted for this Stanley bottle over other cup designs also like that it’s “so convenient to carry and lightweight,” according to one who said it “fits easily into any cupholder, purse, backpack, or bag.” They also noted that it “doesn’t leak and keeps drinks cold forever.” Another reviewer calls the AeroLight a “highly underrated little gem.” They shared that it “cleans easily ,and the lid is so easy to unscrew.” In fact, it’s much less time-consuming to clean than other bottles thanks to its simple, two-piece design.
Sure, the Stanley tumbler is all the rage at the moment, inciting a fervent discussion about the Stanley vs. Yeti tumblers, and I agree that it has many positive features, but for practical convenience, I’ll continue to grab the brand’s 20-Ounce AeroLight Transit Bottle, which works just as well and has a design that best suits my needs. Grab it in black glimmer and cream glimmer at Target. Or, shop more Stanley cups below.
