I recently got back into Klean Kanteen. Simple, lightweight and can boil water directly (non-insulated only), looks kool. Englaving is free until 1/31 :D
Still absolutely SWEAR by my Klean Kanteen (I have a 12oz and a 16oz), which I didn't see in the video, but HIGHLY recommend reviewing....I feel like people sleep on this brand FAR too often STILL! I see there was a mention of it on the website where the video was posted, but not a full review. It did mention that the capacity wasn't big enough (it specifically cited the TKWide 16oz), but that bottle comes in sizes ranging from 12oz to 64oz. The 64oz is definitely a fatty, but even the 32oz (1L) one will fit in most cup holders and water bottle pockets, and b/c the TKWide is a 'system' all of the different types of leak-proof lids (yes multiple types) bit on every size of bottle. Klean Kanteen is also a BCorp and a member of 1% for the planet on top of ticking all of the other boxes you typically look for (insulation capability - beats out others hands down and there have been a LOT of other UA-cam channel review this - leak-proof, dent-resistant, easy to drink from, no taste transfer, handle/portability, etc).
Yeah I stopped buying them because I realized all the waste I was generating. Actually hate bringing around an insulated bottle now because it's so damn heavy. Especially if you have kids. They can just drink from a lighter uninsulated one or I'm just going to buy a drink.
If you're looking for a way to clean your bottles, I've found denture cleaning tablets, now being rebranded under labels like "Bottle Bright", to be an excellent way to get gaskets, integrated straws, and the bottles themselves a good cleaning.
Costco Takeya is simple to disassemble and clean. I also like my HydroFlask and Klean Kanteen. I have a yeti gallon jug I need to stand on to open and a 20 oz rambler that's nice too.
Iron Flask 40oz and 32oz are my travel go tos and I have a 50oz Iron Flask mug I use for water in my house. Love the leak proof lids & hours of hot coffee they give me
I love my 48oz yeti water bottle with the straw top. It’s a little large for many cup holders but the trade off is worth it for me because I drink so much water. My wife loves owala too!
I have used Thermos brand kid's water bottles for years. It's stainless steel and I think it holds 12 ounces (cold only). It doesn't have a straw and has a flip top. I have never had a problem with one leaking. I just looked at the website and I think the design has changed, and maybe the quality too. :(
contigo westloop is by far the best insulated water bottle. best of all they dont cost 30 bucks and they automatically seal. nothing to flip open nothing to make sure closes. the 3.0 has a lock on it now. have dropped mine many times on tile and concrete and yes it has gotten a dent and a couple scuffs its still the best one out there
I've used the 24oz Owala and I have to say, while my initial thoughts of it are positive, long term use and active use it's not that good. I think if you're someone who wants a daily water bottle for an office it's perfect. But if you're using this water bottle for everything, you're better off just getting one of those large Nalgene bottles. The Owala water bottle runs the issue of being a metal water bottle where leaving it out in the sun can make it too hot too the touch if you live in an area with a hot climate. The durability of it can be somewhat of an issue as well as it easily dents with a limited amount of force. The other thing has to do with its design and accessibility to clean. You're going to have to buy a small brush to deal with the straw hole and do something about sanitizing the rubber part. I'd say it's biggest upside is the fact that it's able to keep liquids cool for upwards to 5-8 hours which is pretty impressive and the biggest selling point in my mind. I'd say for the price you're paying for I didn't find it worth it paying upwards to $60 to have a larger capacity water-bottle so while it's "nice" in some rights, I'd pass on it and probably buy the 32-40 Oz if it's on sale and around $30

Honestly, I really love the Yeti one! This is hands down the best water bottles video you've made on this channel super informative and straight to the point
Have been using a Tiger Thermos for years, and have found it way better than half of your recommendations in here. Not only that, visually it is stunning (mine is the limited edition Waves design). Am actually quite surprised that the “less tacticool” brands like Tiger and Zojirushi arent featured here.
They should ban the styrofoam and plastic red cups first! Same with plastic or paper dish-ware that the lazies are using for parties, events, even weddings! Is not that hard to clean some dishes.
I don't carry a water bottle daily but do use one for traveling, when I want a collapsible one to save on weight and space. For years I had a Platypus that served me very well, but it eventually developed a couple of worn spots that I was afraid would leak at any moment. In searching for a replacement I found the Vapur and liked the way the carabiner keeps it rolled up. I got one that worked great for a year or so, but found that once in a while the carabiner would come unfastened when the bottle was empty. In order to hold the rolled bottle the carabiner has to be large, but the drawback is that it doesn't resist opening as strongly as a smaller one if something presses against it. Eventually it came off my bag somewhere en route and I lost it. Since the problem only seemed to happen when the bottle was empty (the weight of water helping to hold it in place otherwise), I decided to chance buying another one and just be sure to put it inside my bag when empty. That has worked very well. I do recommend it with that one precaution.
I don't care for an insulated bottle as room temperature water seems to be the best for the body from what I've researched. Cogito's regular Cortland 2.0 (not the chill one) is an excellent option that only costs $12-15. Double spill proof cap as well as transparent form factor.
Agree. Wide opening makes those bottles way easier to clean. Just throw em in the dishwasher and be done with it. No idea why small neck and glass bottles exist.
The Yonder, I'm one of those weird people that drink water at room temp unless I go somewhere really hot and humid so the insulating factor doesn't matter a whole lot to me. I like being able to drink throughout the day without stopping to refill that often. I still use the Owala when I'm not traveling but not as often as the YETI. Mostly if I'm hiking, backpacking, or camping just because it's more rugged.
Why does a water bottle need to be isolated? 90% of the time my fluid doesn't need to be temperature regulated and I'm just adding bulk and weight to my pack for no reason. And straws does add issues. imo the least parts a bottle has keeps your bottle the cleanest. Btw, it's only in the US that people are obsessed of icecubes with some water.
I've been using Takaya bottles for years. They do an excellent job of keeping water cold, and I like the screw cap that stays attached so that I don't lose it.
I love my HydroJug! I have the bigger 44oz version, but my husband has the 32oz "Traveler" model that he loves, it's leakproff, has a handle on the top, and ice has stayed solid in it for at least 24 hours :)
Y’all talking best 2025 bottles a bit premature, Owala just dropped the new FreeSip Sway. It’s got some sweet upgrades over the old model. OG FreeSip = old news!
Owala seems a bit hard to clean regularly and it's top flicks water in the front when using that spring loaded mechanism to open the lid. Also their ideology is color shortages and 'limited' drops shows bag ethics of company pushing their customers to keep purchasing them even if they are not needed
I don’t get the mania with the water bottles. It’s just a bottle and you probably don’t even need it as most places serve free water and workplaces have mugs and glasses.
i like to carry water while i am out and about. and yes there are some places that have fountains lots of places dont have them or are gross. most work places dont have mugs and i like to have a water bottle at my desk for convivence. im not a bottle snob though.
What's your favorite travel water bottle? 💦👍
Currently, my Owala. Love that you can sip or gulp. Also, the wide mouth make it easy to add ice.
I recently got back into Klean Kanteen. Simple, lightweight and can boil water directly (non-insulated only), looks kool.
Englaving is free until 1/31 :D
💯 love my new LARQ2
Ninja Thirsti for my carbonated water.

As a water bottle addict-
Use the insulated one you already have. It’s probably fine.
Give it a good clean and use some bottle steriliser.
Yeah I stopped buying them because I realized all the waste I was generating. Actually hate bringing around an insulated bottle now because it's so damn heavy. Especially if you have kids. They can just drink from a lighter uninsulated one or I'm just going to buy a drink.

also look into barkeeper friend coffee cleaner, used it for huge coffee pots dispenser at my job.
Yup, totally agree. Use this as well. Also for those horrible CamelBak cleaning
I'm gonna try that with my protein shake bottle. My regular water bottle doesn't get that dirty, given that I only ever put water in it

My wife loves owala too!
🤙🤙🤙
My vapur has been taking a serious beating and it still going strong. The only wish I have is for wider mouth access to wash it inside.
Thanks for sharing your insights! 🤙
The hydroflask 24 ounce ultralight trail series is my current go to.
Larq Purevis 2. Great for travel. Filtered, self cleaning, and wide swig top for ice.
Where is the Larq bottle review? You had it in the thumbnail
1:30 if you (like me) don't like pop lids owala sells a version of this bottle with a screw top as well, but still with the same spout
I've been using the same Takeya 24oz insulated bottle since 2018. Every single day.
Check out the Klean Kanteen bottles. That's what I use. 👍

I love kleen
LOLed at seeing the Ball Mason Jar!
😂😂😂
Honestly, I really love the Yeti one! This is hands down the best water bottles video you've made on this channel super informative and straight to the point
Thanks for watching! 😃
I want something that's not aluminum or plastic. Not even on the lid.
Look at miir or kleen.
I would love to see a video of favorite/best Marino Wool shirts for traveling.
Camelbak 40Oz ChuteMag Insulated is the way to go

No Larq?
I have an owala water bottle and I love it. I also have a Zojirushi and I have been using it for years and still in good shape.
I have a couple of bottles. My favorites are made from metal, have wide openings and are dishwasher compatible (no idea why not all are).
Agree. Wide opening makes those bottles way easier to clean. Just throw em in the dishwasher and be done with it. No idea why small neck and glass bottles exist.
Ikea thermos 0.5 litre ❤
My EDC is a 1L YETI Yonder and my go to for travel is a 24oz Owala FreeSip.
Which do you like better overall? 🧐
The Yonder, I'm one of those weird people that drink water at room temp unless I go somewhere really hot and humid so the insulating factor doesn't matter a whole lot to me. I like being able to drink throughout the day without stopping to refill that often.

got the owala on your reco.. so far so good.. drink still cold when i come to work the next morning
Thanks for the info! 🤙
@packhacker can plz give metric conversions for fluid ounces as well 😊
google 20 oz to l
@pen25 🙄
Absolutely love my Purist waterbottle! Over a decade of searching for the "perfect water bottle" stopped with the Purist.
surprised that you didn`t mention any in the catergory of purifying bottles . like life straw . Grayl or any of the others on the market
I love my HydroJug! I have the bigger 44oz version, but my husband has the 32oz "Traveler" model that he loves, it's leakproff, has a handle on the top, and ice has stayed solid in it for at least 24 hours :)
Y’all talking best 2025 bottles a bit premature, Owala just dropped the new FreeSip Sway. It’s got some sweet upgrades over the old model. OG FreeSip = old news!
You just made me buy the new one.
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll pass it along.
Whatever you can remove the gaskets and clean gunk
Owala bottles are really good but incredibly ugly in my opinion.
The straw / chug combo is a game-changer so I deal with the ugliness
حلة
I prefer Brumate. Stanley are the worst
Owala seems a bit hard to clean regularly and it's top flicks water in the front when using that spring loaded mechanism to open the lid. Also their ideology is color shortages and 'limited' drops shows bag ethics of company pushing their customers to keep purchasing them even if they are not needed
what does limited drops mean? thanks
A thick sparkling water plastic bottle still is the best hygienic and lightest way to carry water
I don’t get the mania with the water bottles. It’s just a bottle and you probably don’t even need it as most places serve free water and workplaces have mugs and glasses.
i like to carry water while i am out and about. and yes there are some places that have fountains lots of places dont have them or are gross. most work places dont have mugs and i like to have a water bottle at my desk for convivence. im not a bottle snob though.
