So if you’re going to invest in the Purist, we recommend getting the spout lid (the Union) or the Scope cap (Purist’s version of a café cap). A pick from 2017, the 22-ounce Lifefactory Classic Flip was the best wide-mouth glass bottle available. This is the perfect water bottle to have with you from day to night, keeping your beverage cold for up to 24 hours. But if the exposed drinking surface bothers you, several of our other picks—including the Takeya Actives, the Purifyou Premium, and the plastic Thermos Hydration Bottle—have lids that fully cover the drinking surface.

International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions. A major reason this bottle outperformed all the other glass options is it’s the only one we found that has a metal-lined cap (rather than some form of plastic). Flaws but not dealbreakers: After using versions of the 24-ounce Thermos nearly constantly for seven years, we don’t have a lot of criticism.Third, the standard lid is watertight but made of plastic, a concern for many people seeking glass bottles. So, upgrade your hydration routine today with the Hybrid Bottle and enjoy your drinks with peace of mind! They can be very easy to knock over, and they don’t stay upright in cup holders because they’re top-heavy. You can’t drink out of it while walking, the attached cap gets in your face, and it doesn’t fit a cupholder or a backpack pocket.

Why it’s great: The super-affordable 24-ounce Thermos Hydration Bottle has been a pick since we first published this guide, in 2014, and it’s still here. KEEPS LIQUIDS ICY COOL: The sleek triple wall design keeps drinks cold for up to 24 hours while preventing condensation and moisture from collecting on your flask. The Takeya Actives just barely nudges the Chute out of competition because the Takeya comes with the silicone base, and it’s often on sale. I put ice in it yesterday at noon and it is 10:26am the following day and the ice is still in there .Why it’s great: This bottle has an integrated straw in the lid that features a plastic bite valve to keep it sealed (something anyone who has owned a CamelBak hydration pack will be familiar with). The straw lid twists off to reveal a wide mouth that makes adding ice to your drink easy—handy if you like to keep your water cold. Another great feature of this bottle: Despite the fact that it holds 24 ounces—a capacity we’ve found to be cumbersome in a metal bottle—the Thermos possesses just the right proportions to be ergonomic and easy to carry.
