Water Bottles

Standard Water Bottles

• metal
  • attached lid: Takeya Active
  • removable lid: Hydro Flask
• plastic: CamelBak Chute Mag
• fun: Owala FreeSip

a random plastic water bottle on amazon/aliexpress/taobao/etc can be a good cheap alternative. I have this one from a brand called “Uzspace” that has lasted for many years

Purist Collective water bottles prevent the “metal” taste with a “glass-like layer”, but they are much more expensive than similar sized bottles
