Mini in N-Gen
SplashGuard™
The SplashGuard™ was invented one snowy evening on the way home from a day spent cross-country
skiing in the Sierras. Josh, an avid skier and patient passenger in Sloan's old Jeep could not stop the
inevitable slosh of water he would get every time she accelerated (Which was usually far too often).
Instead of changing the driver, he fixed the problem. Josh began some initial sketches and after several
quiet hours one small request for a stop at REI emerged. We immediately realized that there was nothing
on the market that solved the problem. The SplashGuard was on the market within three months.
The Mini is specifically designed to fit the smaller opening of the Nalgene N-Gen bottle. It has all the great features
of the Original, just in a cuter package!
Original SplashGuard colors are now only $2.00 (previously $3.25) and will ship without packaging.
At Guyot Designs we're trying hard to reduce our impact on the environment. We have a new major initiative called
C-Minus™
, and we're also trying little things like offering our great original SplashGuards without packaging. Packaging is for
making things look pretty on store shelves, but it's also extremely wasteful and has a large negative impact on the
environment. If we eliminate the packaging we cut down on waste, environmental impact, and energy consumption. What's
more it's cheaper. Everybody wins!
