I’ve been using a reusable 36oz/1L plastic “flip lid” bottle from Bezos’s market - this is my third one (sadly replaced almost on a yearly basis) since I keep accidentally breaking the lids.
It practically comes everywhere with me - walking, cycling, in my backpack. This lid is starting to crack at the hinge and the latch though, but don’t really want to replace it with the same thing again.
How long have you had you had your current bottle, and how are you finding it so far?
Nalgene for life. Lifetime warranty, BPA free, and durable as all hell.
My only problem with them is that the little rubbery plug in the lid trap water. The trapped moisture is perfect for black mold to grow.
Example
Gross. I used the widemouth, so there’s now rubber gasket to trap water.
Nalgene sounds like something you shove up your bottom to cure piles
I bought a Silo once, like twenty years ago. Dropped it on asphalt and they replaced it. Dropped that on asphalt and they sent me two. Dropped one of those on concrete and they sent me two more, one in Tritan and one in polypropylene.
Apparently I’m not allowed to not have a Nalgene. I lose them all the time, but never for long.
I use a gallon Yeti Rambler. I’ve been using it for a few months now and it’s great.
Hydroflask. Probably 7 or 8 years now. Great customer support as well.
Insulated Klean Kanteen. It’s got about nine years worth of debts and scratches.
I’d like the bigger capacity I could get from a non-insulated bottle — as I really don’t need the insulation anyways — but I have become sentimental towards this old thing.
Buy a hydroflask or other similar double walled insulated metal water bottle. They last forever (albeit with a few dents), you won’t be ingesting plastic, and it’ll keep your water cold for at least a full day.
And a company like Hydroflask offers replaceable lids. So if you do lose it or break it, you can replace just the lid rather than the entire bottle.
I have 2. 1 from previous work which I’ve using from past 3 years and the other I got when I joined the new workplace. Fuckers asked me to choose between a coffee mug or water bottle so I chose water bottle.
I have one that’s gone to work with me for about seven years and a bigger glass one for beside my computer that’s a repurposed glass mineral water bottle (Voss)
I am planning on getting a modest pelican one though at some point to support the channel
I’ve started drinking evian a week ago. Although it’s a few bucks more compared to other brands, what I’ve heard it’s more like actual water because the water source has (some) minerals that you would expect to find in water.
