For you, this stainless bottle is featured with technology that is able to float in oceans and pools, cold for at least 36 hours with the perfect size that is not too big, not too small!

The Wide Mouth from Nalgene is undoubtedly the most well-known water bottle on the market and a fixture in the outdoors, combining a lightweight with a basic yet effective design for anything from hiking to everyday use. While the term “budget” is a bit of a misnomer, in this case, reusable water bottles are intrinsically economical and can save you a lot of money in the long run when compared to disposable plastic bottles.

"..As far as durability, the bottle will last you a very long time if you use it in non-gritty environments. I've used the bottle at home, at work and even at the gym and there wasn't any wear and tear. However, I've also used it while riding dune buggies, going hiking, doing mud runs, outside rock climbing, accidentally dropping it from a car, etc. It has survived all conditions and is holding strong,.."

The ports on the bottles above are fairly typical, however, a straw can make sipping a lot easier and less messy. For your comfortable when hiking, the bottle is leakproof with the lid closed (it’s spill-proof when the straw is deployed), and the low-profile, easy-to-use lid doesn’t require any tilting or biting. With a durable and BPA-free plastic construction, a wide choice of color options, and a sturdy carrying handle, this is a well-rounded water bottle that should endure for years.

"My favorite water bottle. just the right size and looks great. I never knew i liked the straw option so much until i got this bottle"

Klean Kanteen makes high-quality single-wall stainless-steel bottles that look excellent if you enjoy the notion of a metal water bottle but don’t want to spend a small fortune. The 27-ounce Classic weighs only 7.5 ounces, and the bottle’s sports top makes it easy to carry and sip from without spilling that is ideal for hiking. We particularly like the variety of vivid colors available, which range from normal black to vibrant pink, blue, and orange for you to choose from. 

"I have used one of these water bottles for YEARS and it is still holding up very well. I just bought one for a gift because I love mine so much. It has been dropped dozens of times and never leaks. The lid and bottle are both easy to clean. Doesn't leave a metallic taste in your mouth like some metal water bottles."

Yeti is most known for its high-quality and attractive coolers, but they also make water bottles. The 26-ounce Rambler Vacuum Bottle is the favorite of their collection: It boasts a sturdy stainless steel construction, a large color option, and, unsurprisingly, excellent insulating performance. The two-part cap, which comprises the TripleHaul handle, which is obviously substantial and easy to grasp, and a shatter-resistant and appropriately sized spout underneath that is ideal to be your hiking water bottle. It’s difficult to get enthused about water bottles, but Yeti has done an outstanding job with the Rambler in making hydration pleasant.

"Received as a gift. The Rambler is perfect for keeping my drinks cold. Even without adding ice my drinks stay cold. The base doesn’t fit very well in my car’s cup holder but I usually place it into lunch bag’s bottle pocket ( perfect fit ). Overall the Rambler is perfect for my intended use."

The Grayl Geopress is an excellent choice for globetrotters and hikers traveling internationally. While the Katadyn BeFree filter removes protozoa and bacteria, the Grayl purifier goes a step further by protecting against viruses too small for most filters, such as Hepatitis A, Rotavirus, and Norovirus. The procedure is straightforward, you just need to fill the outer shell with water from any source, replace the inner unit that holds the cartridge, and press down with your body weight. You’ll have 24 ounces of purified and filtered water in about 15 seconds.

"First backpacking trip of the season for the wife, son, dog and me. We bought GeoPress a few days ago thinking it would be nice to supplement the water filtering along the way and found it was so fast that no one wanted to use our old 'pump' filter. Cooked, clean and hydrated ourselves and it performed great...."

The Hydro Flask Standard Mouth bottle is the favorite because of its excellent insulating performance and tough construction. Enter the Trail Series, which reduces weight by 25% while retaining many of the original models’ best features. Hydro Flask accomplished this by thinning the stainless steel walls, using less burly materials for the cap, and perforating the handle, making it ideal for use as a hiking bottle for your greatest hiking experience.

"Very good bottle, keeps the water cool for a long time, nice design and easy to use"

Takeya’s Actives Insulated Water Bottle is a stylish and robust sports water bottle with a powder-coated finish. For hiking, this stainless steel bottle featured the innovative double-wall vacuum insulation of this 32-ounce water bottle that keeps beverages cold (for 48 hrs) and hot (for 12 hrs) (24 hrs). Additionally, it also features an innovative leakproof insulated spout cover that makes sipping from or pouring from the bottle easy to do with one hand. It has a hinge lock that will prevent the cap from moving around while you are drinking from it.

"Obsessed! This bottle is awesome! Replaced my other one I got from my supplement store because it was plastic and didn't stay cold but holded 40oz. Got this one in arctic white and I love! My boyfriend has been jocking it so hard since I got it he asked me to get him the black! Ha! The arctic white gets a little dirty sure but so far has wiped clean fine..."

This Eastman Tritan copolyester water bottle is the finest choice for hiking because it contains no BPA, can endure impacts and can be cleaned in the dishwasher. This one also comes with a sanitary sipper lid with a push-button and locking ring for simple opening and shutting. The spinning meter allows you to keep track of your daily water use. You don’t have to be concerned because this one has a push-button function that only requires one hand; simply pull the carrying strap up.

"These water bottles are a great design and high quality materials. I can't comment on long term durability yet (I am sure it will have a great service life) but the price was too good to pass up. I do think the Thermos Tritan would be a great water bottle as well. I like the drink opening, it truly is perfect for drinking water .."

A hollow-fiber filter membrane with activated carbon allows for a high flow rate; sip through the straw and the water is filtered as it travels to your mouth. The 0.2-micron filter physically removes 99.9999% of all bacteria, including salmonella, cholera, and E.coli, as well as 99.9% of all protozoa, including giardia and cryptosporidia. The detachable hollow-fiber filter membrane can clean up to 1,000 gallons (4,000L) of water before it needs to be replaced; the container can be reused indefinitely. The leakproof top and sturdy, flexible mouthpiece detach for easy cleaning, and the Tritan® plastic bottle is BPA-free. 2 quarts (22 fl. oz.) The carabiner on the LifeStraw Go Filter Bottle makes it convenient to carry when hiking.

"Great. I tried it out in one of the national parks last weekend. It was easy to use, and water tasted fine. The shape is very similar to my everyday bottle that I use. Overall I am very happy with it."
