It’s hard to make a water bottle stand out from the crowd in such a saturated market, but Contigo’s Autoseal technology is the best leak-proof design I’ve seen. You might want to turn to this handy water bottle if you’ve got any travelling planned, since it naturally filters water using charcoal sticks. I also find that, while some steel bottles can leave a slight lingering metallic flavour, these ones don’t. The Original has a ridged bottom which is noisy and wobbles if a table is knocked, whereas the Series 2 has a flat silicone base which grips any surface and is quiet to set down.

The midfielder will be hoping he has done enough to start Chelsea's next Premier League clash against West London rivals Brentford on Saturday. I found the sweeter flavours like watermelon and mango a little artificial but the citruses and the cucumber were delicious. For this guide I’ve tried and tested a number of the best water bottles on the market - including gym water bottles, water bottles with straws, and even the Air-up water bottle which uses scented pods to trick your brain into thinking you’re drinking squash (when in fact, it’s just water). The products or services listed have been selected independently by journalists after hands-on testing or sourcing expert opinions. If you want to use it for hot drinks as well, opt for a stainless steel insulated bottle like the Yeti Rambler.I left them for hours at a time to test how insulated they really were, both for cold and hot water, and I deep-dived into the materials each is made from to check for toxic materials. This water bottle uses antimicrobial drinking surfaces and a stainless steel telescopic straw, which comes with its own cleaning brush.

They’re objectively less attractive than the classic design of the Series 1, with a more rugged, squat appearance and a loop handle. While I maintain there has been a decline in aesthetics, everything that I disliked about the Original has been rectified here. Some water bottles are dishwasher safe but it is still important to clean the smaller parts with a toothbrush or bottle brush, especially those with built-in straws. The other slight downside to the bottle is that although the plant-based material is temperature resistant and has some form of insulation, it’s not as effective as the double walled insulation in the other stainless steel bottles. The water bottles are attractive and well made from double-walled stainless steel with a bamboo lid.We wouldn’t recommend keeping water in your bottles any longer than that as it can start to take on a stale taste. I’d highly recommend Waterdrop to anyone who needs a bit of flavour to encourage them to drink more water.

I love this sports bottle from Lululemon, which has a twisty cap that flips open to reveal a small chug hole - it’s the perfect size for fitting your mouth without leaving room for spillage. Plastic uses oil and water in the production and releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, but can be more environmentally friendly if it is recycled.BPA stands for Bisphenol A, an industrial chemical compound used in the manufacturing of strong plastics.

The straw takes a lot of force to pull open so I’ve ended up just leaving it up if I’m sat with the bottle at my desk. For context, the S’wheat weighs almost half that, at 250g, and Chilly’s Series 2 bottles weigh 390g. When you’re exercising and pushing your body to its limit, it’s important to stay hydrated and that’s where our collection of water bottles and insinulated water flasks comes in. Thanks to a bout of Tiktok viral fame (for a constantly sold out giant tumbler), old school favourite Stanley is now popular amongst Gen Z as well as older generations.I threw them in my rucksack on my daily commute to test if they were leak-proof and I sipped them at my desk. The bottle accidentally hit his own boss Poch and now the Englishman pleads the Argentine coach does not "drop him" from his starting line-up. In a world where most water bottles are fighting to be the best looking, the Air Up doesn’t even compete. The loop handle also makes it easy to carry around the gym and it’s sturdy enough that it doesn’t flip back and bonk your nose as you drink.
