Water Bottles for the Summer

The hot weather is coming and it’s when us thirsty Brits start looking for water bottles for the summer! Staying hydrated is essential and doing this and looking cool at the same time can only be a good thing! Your very own personal water bottle is becoming a popular choice instead of continually buying plastic bottles and adding to the plastic pollution the planet is currently battling against.

There are so many bottles available on the market but some are better than others. Some are great for keeping drinks cold due to their high quality insulation and some just look really look with funky designs and colours.

We’ve broken down the best water bottles we have come across and added below the best one in each category:-

 

Glass Bottles – Takeya Classic

The great thing about glass is you avoid the so-called ‘toxic leaking’ that plastic bottles allegedly can cause. Takeya Classic glass water bottle comes with a nifty silicon sleeve (choice of colours) providing a nice comfortable grip. It’s also dishwasher proof and should last an absolute lifetime! The manufacturers claim that there is absolutely no after taste from the bottle and to open it you simply pop the top of with your finger!

Due to the opening in the silicon sleeve on the side you can also see how much liquid you have left in the bottle! Simple but genius!

 

 

 

 

 

Stainless Steel & Uninsulated – Klean Kanteen Classic

 

This stainless steel water bottle by Klean Kanteen Classic comes in at 9 inches tall. It’s uninsulated so it may not keep your drink as cold as others may but we really liked the simple leak proof lid that prevents that annoying spillage in your bag!

Many stainless steel water bottles tend to leave a slight metallic taste in your mouth, but the manufacture claims that due to the ‘electropolished interior’ you shouldn’t get this after taste!

It comes in several colours (silver, blue, black and orange) and although fairly straight forward in design we think it looks really nice. Perfect size and keeps your drink cool without spillage! Perfect!

 

 

 

 

Collapsible Water Bottles – Vapur Unisex outdoor

 

The great advantage to a collapsible water bottle is that, well, it’s collapsible! Once empty it takes virtually no room at all up in your bag! The Vapur unisex outdoor water bottle can be rolled up, folded and flattened once empty.

The material used is ultra durable and approved to BPA standards meaning the polyethylene inner-liner is safe to be used for drinking from. Its easy to wash by hand and also dish washer proof and is said to be odour, taste and stain resistant no matter how many times it is washed!

Pick one up for around £20 on Amazon!

 

 

 

 

Insulated, Stainless Steel – Klean Kanteen Classic Vacuum Insulated

The guys from Klean Kanteen have impressed us again. This insulated stainless steel version of their Klean Kanteen design is know to keep drinks cold and hot longer than any other water bottle out there.

Drinks can be kept iced up after 90 HOURS and hot drinks are known to still be the same temperature after 24 hours! Quite an incredible feat!

The bottles are able to keep temperatures for so long due to the double wall vacuum insulation design. This is quite simply the golden ticket for those looking to keep their drinks cold and hot over long periods of time. The design may seem simple but it actually doesn’t look that bad! We’ve already placed an order!
