Mountain Warehouse BPA Free 1L Plastic Bottle - Leakproof Screw Top Lid Water Bottle

Product Information

To test how portable the water bottles are, we try fitting them in a standard car cupholder and carry them around using their handles, if applicable. Finally, we drop each water bottle from waist height six times (three on its side and three on its lid). At the end of the test, we give each bottle a rating from 1 (would not recommend) to 5 (would recommend) in 6 key categories: drinkability, seal, portability, insulation, durability, and overall value. However, it did not pass our drop tests, denting and leaking after it hit the floor. Even so, we still recommend this bottle as a convenient, mid-sized option with an effective filter. Lainey Younkin, MS, RD, LDN, is a registered dietitian always looking for ways to help her clients drink more water. She has personally owned many stainless steel water bottles because she can’t stand lukewarm water and loves any bottle that keeps her H20 ice cold for hours.

We were initially impressed by MIRA's 17 Oz Stainless Steel Vacuum Insulated Water Bottle because of its leakproof seal. But it dented easily, and its heavy weight made it uncomfortable to hold. This lightweight bottle features a sleek, stylish design that comes in almost 40 colors and patterns, from solid hues to botanical prints. We love that it's leakproof, with a secure, screw-on lid. Available in three sizes (9 ounces, 17 ounces, and 25 ounces), the narrow silhouette makes this bottle easy to carry with you, sliding in most bags and cupholders with ease. There are almost 30 colors and patterns to choose from, including bright gradient and marble printed options. And we love that the 64-ounce size costs almost the same as some of our other recommendations, making the Iron Flask a solid value. Just note that this water bottle is hand wash only and can't go in the dishwasher. Purist's Mover Vacuum Water Bottle has a stylish, compact design. But for how expensive it is, we wish it could go in the dishwasher. The cap is also hard to open and leaked when we dropped the bottle from waist height. We often test water bottles in the Verywell Testing Lab. To find the best stainless steel options, we first research dozens of popular models from the most trusted brands. We also ask experts like Kristina Todin, RDN, a registered dietitian nutritionist, for her advice on how to shop for a stainless steel water bottle that's both functional and durable.Next, we select a set bottles to test for ourselves. To see how effective each bottle's insulation was, we fill them with ice and cold water. We use a liquid thermometer to measure the temperature of the water immediately after we pour it, 3 hours later, and 6 hours later, as the bottles sit on a sunny windowsill. The double-walled insulation kept our water icy cold. Thermoflask notes that the bottle will chill drinks for 24 hours or keep them hot for 12, making it a solid choice for your morning coffee or tea. The attached handle is easy to hold, although we wish it could be folded down when not in use.

Stainless steel water bottles keep your water cold for hours, are better for the environment than plastic, and aren’t prone to breaking like glass water bottles can be. and below: We don't recommend stainless steel water bottles with this rating; you won't find any on our list. Water Bottles We Also Tested Made from 18/8 pro-grade stainless steel, this Hydro Flask is BPA-free. But while it kept our water cold for three hours, we noticed the temperature had increased by 8 degrees after six hours—meaning this bottle's double-walled insulation isn't effective as others we tested. If insulation is important to you, we recommend investing in Takeya's Actives Water Bottle or Thermoflask's Water Bottle instead.While Takeya's Actives bottle ultimately won out, we also highly recommend this option from Thermoflask. We love that, for a similar price, this bottle comes with two lids—one with a spout and one with a straw—so you can choose your preferred method of sipping. The wide mouth opening allows us to add ice cubes, while the spout lid ensures we can sip without soaking our shirts. Combined with the handy carrying loop, we recommend this bottle as your everyday go-to, especially if you work out often and need a basic bottle for the gym.

Drinking enough water has plenty of benefits: “Staying hydrated is key for not only your body’s performance, but also mental clarity and productivity," explains Krista Todini, RDN, a registered dietitian nutritionist. Although the exact amount you should be drinking varies, it's safe to say that adding another glass or two to your daily routine is a good idea for most people. Water bottles can range in size from 12 ounces all the way up to 84 ounces (or even more). "When choosing a stainless steel bottle, consider what you’ll be using it for," Todini says. "If you’re active in sports choose a lightweight and slim bottle that can easily be carried, or if it’s your everyday water bottle choose one that fits in your bag or car’s cup holder." A 64- to 84-ounce stainless steel water bottle is a great option if you're playing tennis or a sport where you might be in hot weather for several hours and want your water to remain cold. A 17- to 32-ounce water bottle is easier to carry with you during everyday activities, like going to work or the gym. Triple-walled insulation works the same way, except there's a third layer of steel or copper (creating two vacuum layers). S'well's Stainless Steel Water Bottle uses triple-walled insulation to keep drinks cold for 36 hours and hot for 18 hours. We love the sleek design, which has a modern, angular shape and comes in a variety of bright colors and patterns. The 16-ounce capacity is solid for everyday sipping, and the low-profile lid is completely leakproof, for added peace of mind.For a slim bottle that can slip into the cage on your mountain bike or indoor cycling bike, we recommend this Healthy Human's Thermos. Its double-walled insulation keeps our water cold for hours, while the lid has a convenient handle for rehydrating while you're on the go.
