Water bottles come in all shapes and sizes and the type that you buy should depend on your activity and environment. There’s plenty to consider when choosing. Capacity is an obvious factor, but you’ll also want to think about material, shape, mouth width, and whether or not to opt for a bottle with a built-in water filter or purifier.
I have different types of bottles that I take on different adventures. If I’m going on a day bike ride with plenty of water stops en-route, I want a compact bottle that easily slots into my drinks holder. For a multi-day hike, I prefer a hydration pouch with a long, flexible straw that allows me to drink on the go.
