If it’s truly worth its salt, you should only need to buy a good reusable water bottle once, regardless of how often a new, trendy bottle goes viral. Designed to be durable, leakproof and aesthetically pleasing to boot, the ideal bottle will last you forever and never go out of style. But with so many options on the market, how do you know which one’s right for you?
That’s where we come in. From Owala to Stanley to Hydro Flask and more, we’ve broken down some of the best and most popular reusable water bottles to help you decide which one should become your ultimate hydration companion. To level the drinking field, we’re looking only at true water bottles here, which means no tumblers, coffee thermoses or other bottle-adjacent cups (sorry to the Stanley Quencher H2.0). Keep reading to see the pros, cons and unique features of the bottles that might just earn a place in your drinkware collection.
Spoiler alert: While all of these bottles are appealing for different reasons, we think the universal winner is the Owala FreeSip for its price, size and color range and dual drinking spout, in addition to the convenient handle and leakproof insulation.
