Product Information

Julie Evans is an experienced wellness writer whose work has appeared in USA Today, CafeMom, SheKnows, and more. Julie understands the importance of proper hydration and won't leave the house without her favorite water bottle. She takes care to only recommend the best products to her readers. The smaller sizes fit in most cupholders, whether you're sipping in the car or on an exercise bike. But like Owala's FreeSip, SimpleModern's water bottle is meant for cold drinks only. For hot drinks, try investing in a high-quality insulated tumbler. At the end of the testing period, we give each water bottle a score of 1 (would not recommend) to 5 (would recommend) in each of the key categories listed above. We also take the bottles home so we can continue to test them—we'll update this story with new insights as we use them in our daily routines. Finding a high-quality water bottle is key for staying hydrated. Bonus points if you can find one with a straw: Drinking through a straw is convenient when you're on the move, so you'll likely drink more water. Aside from quenching your thirst and preventing dehydration, drinking enough water may also boost your digestion, reduce fatigue, prevent headaches, and even improve your complexion. Water bottles with straws are made with various materials, including plastic, glass, and stainless steel. If you're looking for the most lightweight option, you may want to choose a BPA-free plastic water bottle, like Contigo's Ashland 2.0 Leak-Proof Water Bottle. Stainless steel options (like Owala's FreeSip Water Bottle) have better insulation and can keep your favorite drinks hot or cold for hours. For an environmentally-friendly bottle that doesn't hold onto smells or tastes, try glass—we recommend BLUEGO's 64oz Glass Water Bottle.

Unlike other plastic bottles, we love that this one is dishwasher-safe. No more fiddling around with long brushes or sponges—just toss the parts in, close the door, and let the machine do the work. We also like that there's a lid for the straw, which sets Pogo's bottle apart from others on our list. A leakproof lid keeps your gym bag and other essentials protected, while a stretchy carrying loop makes it easy to bring this bottle with you on the go. Plus, it's BPA-free, so you can sip knowing you're limiting any potential exposure. Although it isn't insulated, we think the overall value you get for the price is worth the trade-off. When you want the durability and safety of stainless steel, we recommend this water bottle from Hydro Flask. It will keep hot or cold drinks at the desired temperature for hours. Seriously, hours: up to six hours for hot drinks and 24 hours for cold drinks. This bottle got high marks for portability—it's slim, has a convenient carrying loop, and is smooth to the touch for on-the-go drinking. However, it's not as durable as others we tested. When we dropped it, we noticed it dented easily and that the lid started to leak. If you need to keep hydrated but don't have the opportunity to refill your water bottle often, whether you're gearing up for a hike or a long day out and about, we recommend Iron Flask's 64-ounce water bottle. We like that this half-gallon bottle has three lids, including a straw lid that we found easy to drink from, even while standing or walking.Like Owala's FreeSip, this water bottle from SimpleModern is also leakproof. But we recommend it as the best leakproof option because it's more budget-friendly, comes in more sizes, and has a classic straw lid design, if the FreeSip's chug spout option isn't for you. Finding a glass water bottle with a straw can be difficult, but we think we've found the ideal solution in this option from BLUEGO. The wide mouth is large enough for adding your favorite ice, fruit, or other flavorings. We also love that it has a silicone sleeve to protect it from impact, so you can toss it in a bag or your passenger seat without a second thought. Although this bottle wasn't the most durable one we tested, we still find it stylish and easy to drink from, with a truly impressive capacity.

The exterior is powder-coated to keep it from slipping and to help reduce condensation. You will have to hand wash it, but it comes with a lifetime warranty, so you know it’s built to last. We've also noticed that cleaning the straw is easy, as it detaches from the lid to allow for a thorough scrubbing. It comes in three sizes—24, 32 and 40 ounces—in various bright colors. The bottle is made of food-grade stainless steel, and the cap and straw are made from BPA-free plastic. When testing this water bottle, we found that the lid is easy to screw on and off, and we love that the spout flips up with the push of a tab. But the FreeSip's lid is the star of the show. Flip it open using one finger to access the spout, which offers two ways to drink. You can sip using the bottle's straw or take a big swig from the spout opening—ideal when you're overheating on the treadmill or elliptical. It also features a carrying handle that slots in place over top of the lid to create a seal that's truly leakproof. We like that this water bottle comes with two lids—one with a straw and one with a wider mouth—for optimal versatility. In testing, we appreciated the convenient carrying handle on each lid, helping us easily tote the bottle from place to place. The only downside is it's heavier than some other options we recommend, although this also contributes to its impressive durability. Overall, it's a high-performing bottle and a great value for the price.It comes in several sizes and an array of colors. A carrying clip is built into the cap so you can easily take it on the go. The price is right, too, as you can score the 24-ounce model for less than half the price of other bottles on our list.
