Klean Kanteen

KOR ONE Hydration Vessel
2. KOR ONE Hydration Vessel by KOR – I LOVE this beautiful bottle made from BPA-free Tritan. Dishwasher safe and recyclable. Hinged cap for easy open and close. Plus looks like no other water bottle on the market, yet has a low price point. Comes in four lovely basic colors and some awesome special edition designs.

thinksport
3. thinksport Sports Bottle by thinksport – really sleek and lovely reusable water bottle and way less expensive than you’d expect (around $16-$20). This bottle is super light-weight stainless steel with an elegant design that’s easy to hold and drink from. The bottle is vacuum sealed to keep beverage hot or cold for hours. Also, like all the bottles I’m showing, thinksport’s bottle is free of Bisphenol-A and toxic chemicals. Comes in two sizes; 350 and 750ml and an array of colors including basic silver.

Como Carrier with Canteen
4. uscanteen by uscanteen – This is the stylish, more expensive option on the list. But it is BPA-free and eco-savvy. Read my in-depth review.

CamelBak Better Bottle in stainless steel
5. The CamelBak Better Bottle in stainless steel by CamelBak - CamelBak doesn’t deal in all stainless steel, but their Better Bottle does. This bottle is BPA-free, comes with a Big Bite Valve and is spill-proof. Available in .5L Insulated Stainless and .75L Stainless. Also available in an insulated stainless steel version – micro-welded, double-wall .5L Insulated Stainless bottles feature vacuum insulation to keep beverages cool for hours.

Love Bottle
6. Reusable Glass Water Bottles by Love Bottle – for something a little out of the ordinary I’d try a Love Bottle. Love Bottles are made of shiny clear glass (made partially from recycled glass) and come in 500 or 1000 ml. Each Love Bottle has a ceramic swing top lid that creates a water-tight seal and you can get one that’s pre-designed or customize your own. Glass water bottles offer better taste quality than plastic, steel or aluminum and are great for people who are bothered by stainless steel in their mouth. Of course glass is 100% recyclable too and looks amazing. The downsides include easy to break and glass won’t keep fluids very cold; I’d suggest a bottle carrier to help with both situations.
Platypus SoftBottle
7. Platypus SoftBottle by Cascade Design – I’m not a fan of plastic, even BPA-free plastic like the Platypus SoftBottle. However, in order to offer an option for every adult and every lifestyle, I’m going to mention this bottle. Each bottle comes with a Clean-Taste Guarantee and is reusable and ultra lightweight. In fact, this bottle, or vessel as the case may be, rolls right up when empty and weighs 80% less than hard hydration bottles. Available with Closure Cap or dual-valve HyperFlow Cap. I don’t think this bottle is all that attractive, but because of this bottle’s flexibility it’s great for active adults and its light weight means even kids can easily carry it.

Innate Fresco Stainless Steel Water Bottle
8. Fresco V2 Stainless Steel Water Bottle by Innate – The newest Innate bottle, the Fresco is really nice design-wise. The 29 oz bottle has a wide look and a really unique lid, designed for easy carrying and clipping onto a pack. The bottle is single wall stainless steel, BPA Free and has a food grade polypropylene mouth part which means no more chilly lips in cooler weather.

ROHO Reusable Water Bottle
9. ROHO Hydration Bottle by Thermos – When you hear Thermos you might just think coffee, but Thermos actually has a very attractive BPA-free reusable water bottle line as well called ROHO. ROHO bottles remind me of old school soda bottles in design, but are made with BPA-free, single-wall stainless steel. ROHO features a leak-proof lid with one hand push button operation and integrated carry loop. The wide mouth makes this bottle easy to clean and you can fit ice cubes in. Also dishwasher safe and many designs to choose from. Only comes in one size – 24oz.

EarthLust Water Bottles
10. EarthLust bottles by EarthLust – Oh how I LOVE EarthLust bottle designs. They’re just so darn pretty. Sadly my pal has one and she says you need to be careful with them when washing because the non-toxic paint used on these bottles can come off if you’re rough. Still, EarthLust bottles are super sweet. Each features a custom design, many of which are limited editions. The bottles are made of food grade stainless steel so they’re naturally BPA-free and come in 13 oz, 20 oz or 1 liter sizes.

Thanks so much for including the Platypus SoftBottle option. I can’t handle stainless steel, and glass is too heavy for traveling, so it looks like this may be a good option. I’m going to head off to a nearby store and check it out this afternoon. lt may just be what I need for travel!
Ha, I was actually thinking of you when I posted that one. That’s too funny. You were the first person I knew who mentioned the steel near mouth issue, but since then I’ve met other people who don’t like it, so it must be more common than I thought. I still don’t love plastic, but reuse is reuse in my opinion. So long as you aim for BPA-free plastic it’s a good deal.
Good list. ThinkSport is the only one on your list I’ve tried. I like it, though I find myself taking a different water bottle out walking since the ThinkSport can be a little bulky. Guess I have the large one! However, it does do the best job of keeping beverages cold on a hot day.
Speaking of BPA-free, I just got my Preserve order of kitchen stuff in the mail. So, excited. I love how cute the apple green colanders are. I also got their cutting board and reusable plastic plates, which I’m very curious about.
My friend has a thinksport and really likes it, but I do think it looks a little heavy. At some point I’m going to do a post about the easiest to carry bottles for folks who like to jog and such. Klean Kanteen is a nightmare for jogging. I LOVE how cute the Preserve kitchen stuff is too. Will you be reviewing? I want to know how good the cutting board is. Guess I could just check LGS
Jennifer,
Yes! I’m going to review them. I used the small colander tonight for strawberry washing, but haven’t used the cutting board yet. Preserve threw in some samples of Annie’s Homegrown Bunny Grahams. I think I’m addicted.
Cedar loves those bunny grahams – he also likes the organic cheese bunny crackers.
I own the thinksport 25oz and love it. It is slightly large, but I did buy the large one after all. They also make a 12oz which is obviously smaller and lighter. The vacuum sealed dual walled stainless is why I love it so much. Keeps my water cold for quite awhile.
I LOVE the look of the Thinksport. But I really, really, super bad want the new Klean Kanteen with bamboo lid, so that will likely be my next bottle. Thanks for sharing that you like your bottle – it even looks like it would keep water ice cold! Glad to hear it does.
