6 Reusable Water Bottles We Love

Using a reusable bottle is way better for both the environment and your wallet than buying those disposable plastic bottles. But finding a good reusable water bottle can sometimes become overwhelming.

‍

Here's the thing, though — there's no single "perfect" bottle for everyone. The best bottle is the one you'll actually use day after day. You may already have it. But if you don’t, we've picked out some great, mostly plastic-free, durable options that you can take anywhere — your daily commute, hiking trips, or just around the house.

‍

We looked for bottles that will last you years, are easy to carry, and won't harm the planet. All our picks below are tough enough for daily life and will keep your drinks at just the right temperature.

• 24 oz, 32 oz, 40 oz, or 64 oz

‍

The Hydro Flask Wide Mouth Water Bottle is a great wide-mouth option. It’s durable, so it should last you a long time. It’s made from 18/8 pro-grade stainless steel with an easy-grip powder coat that won't chip. We also love that it ships in plastic-free recycled packaging, and the bottle is fully recyclable with scrap metal at the end of life.

A note about collectible water bottles

‍

Trends can make you feel like you need something you never even thought of , like exclusive colorways of reusable cups and water bottles. All the environmental benefits that come from choosing a reusable water bottle are quickly undone when we have more than we could ever use. Consider limiting your water bottle stash to a couple per person. If you get bored with the color of your water bottle, maybe you can rotate through different options with a group of friends?
