The best reusable water bottles for the gym, office and more
Look chic and help save the planet at the same time
Reusable water bottles are a way of life now, and dare we say we've become very attached to our emotional support water bottles. Aside from helping you keep track of how much water you're drinking each day, they're also a helluva lot better for the planet than single-use bottles. But which are the best water bottles? Well, stainless steel is by far the best at keeping liquids chilly and these are our favourites right now.
Here are our favourite reusable water bottles. Drink up!
BLACK + BLUM Stainless Steel Thermal Insulated Flask
BLACK + BLUM Stainless Steel Thermal Insulated Flask
Looking to keep your water cold for up to 24 hours? Invest in a Black + Blum stainless steel flask. It'll also keep any hot drinks hot for 12 hours, ideal for travelling on the go or for any hiking and outdoor activities. It also has a wide opening which makes it easier to clean too. We also love the vegan leather strap, and you can get it engraved too.
Stanley IceFlow™ Flip Straw 2.0 Tumbler | 0.89L
Stanley IceFlow™ Flip Straw 2.0 Tumbler | 0.89L
What did we do in life before the Stanley? It's become a reliable water bottle thanks to it's insulating properties that will keep water cool for up to 12 hours. They come in a variety of colours and we particularly like this version of the Stanley as it comes with a convenient carry handle.
Hydro Flask Hydro Flask 21 oz Vacuum Insulated Bottle
Cold for up to 24 hours and hot for up to 12, Hydro Flask’s drinking bottles will keep your favourite beverage the perfect temperature all day long. Available in a range of bright, bold colours and made using a durable, dishwasher safe powder coating, they’re your ideal daily companion, stashing into your handbag or rucksack or to simply carry comfortably using the handy Flex Cap. Inside, pro-grade stainless steel ensures pure taste and no flavour transfer; perfect for a coffee in the morning followed by a smoothie at lunch.
Chilly's are the big dogs of the water bottle world - and fair, TBH. There's a huge range of colours, patterns and sizes to choose from, including this 500ml pastel purple. The bottles themselves are made from double-walled stainless steel, which keeps drinks hot for 12 hours and cold for 24. They're lightweight, comfy to sip from and it's cool that you can personalise them with name engraving and different-colour lids.
This ultra-lightweight bottle features an amazing piece of technology - it cleans itself and the water (a bottle that helps with the washing up, what more could you want?) using a UV-C LED light that neutralises germs. We felt like we were drinking some of the purest water in the world. With a chic stylish design, it’s easy to use and transport - everything we want when setting out for our daily walks.
One of our favourite things about this bottle is it's able to go in the dishwasher, so cleaning is a breeze. It'll also keep water cool for up to 18 hours and hot drinks warm for six hours. And you can feel good about yourself buying one of these bottles, as they're made from 67 per cent of recycled materials and every one sold funds the collection of 1,000 water bottles from the ocean.
ion8 is a great option if you're looking for a more affordable reusable insulated steel bottle as it's under £20. It'll keep drinks cool for hours and it can also go in the dishwasher.
Frank Green always has the nicest selection of colours for their water bottles and right now we're obsessed with their pastel range. Their bottles are ceramic and triple insulated so you know your water is going to stay cold for hours.
