Water Bottles for Hiking
BEST GLASS WATER BOTTLES for hiking
Many people are making the switch from plastic to glass water bottles for the health of the environment and their bodies. Water tastes a lot better when you don’t have to worry about BPA, BPS, or phthalates in your water bottle.
We researched dozens of bottles and spent countless hours getting our hydration on to bring you this list of our favorite glass water bottles that are sure to elevate your water drinking experience.
BEST GLASS WATER BOTTLE OVERALL FOR STYLE, DURABILITY & PRICE
MSRP: $17.99
MEASURED WEIGHT: 14.7 oz.
PROS: Affordable, stylish, durable, leakproof, no plastic touches water, ergonomic size/shape, lightweight, dishwasher safe (except for lid)
BOTTOM LINE: The Yomious Glass Bottle is a great value with an excellent blend of style and durability. The silicone sleeve covers most of the bottle for protection if it’s dropped, but leaves a fashionable to peek of glass at the top. The bamboo lid not only adds another touch of style but also adds to the overall sustainable design. And a stainless steel insert in the lid ensures that no plastic touches your water – meaning you only taste water, not chemicals. The borosilicate glass can handle extreme cold or hot temperatures, making this a great choice for everyday water drinking and morning commute coffee.
Ello Syndicate
BEST GLASS WATER BOTTLE FOR LIFE ON THE GO
MEASURED WEIGHT: 1 lb. 3.7 oz.
PROS: Lockable & leakproof flip lid, ergonomic size & shape, the spout is easy to drink from while on the go, durable, dishwasher-safe
CONS: Not as stylish as some others
BOTTOM LINE: Life on the go is hectic enough without having to worry if your water bottle is leaking water all over your gym bag. The Ello Syndicate is a clean alternative to the standard plastic bottles most people associate with active lifestyles. The handy, lockable flip lid prevents leaks and can be opened with one hand for those times when you’re on the move and your arms are full. While we don’t find this bottle to be quite as pretty as some others on this list, it has the best functionality of the bunch.
Tronco 20 oz. Tumbler
MOST STYLISH GLASS WATER BOTTLE WITH A STRAW
MSRP: $15.99
MEASURED WEIGHT: 12.4 oz.
PROS: Stylish, affordable, comes with two straws, lightweight, dishwasher-safe
BOTTOM LINE: For those looking for a stylish water bottle to complement a trendy office space or for feeling fancy around the house, the Tronco Glass Tumbler is the most attractive glass water bottle we’ve used. With a straw for easy sippin’ and ergonomic size and shape, the Tronco Bottle feels truly luxurious. As an added bonus, we’ve noticed that the convenience of having a straw lid actually encourages us to drink more water throughout the day. No chemical taste, good for the planet, good style, and more hydration… This bottle is a win all-around.
Purify 32 oz. Premium Glass Water Bottle
MOST DURABLE GLASS WATER BOTTLE
MSRP: $33.97
MEASURED WEIGHT: 1 lb. 5.7 oz.
PROS: Durable (thick silicone sleeve, thicker glass), no plastic touches water, measurement lines, the narrow mouth is easier to drink from while on the go, dishwasher-safe
BOTTOM LINE: If you know yourself to be… let’s say “accident-prone,” you may have thought glass water bottles weren’t for you. But rest assured, the Purifyou Premium Glass Bottle is tough enough to handle. The silicone sleeve and the glass of this bottle are thicker than any bottle we tested, making it more durable and resilient if dropped. The narrow mouth of the Purifyou bottle is easier to drink from while on the go, and the finger loop on the lid makes it easy to tote around town. We also love that the lid is designed with a stainless steel stopper so no plastic can ever touch your water, which means you can hydrate away without having to worry about any weird plastic taste.
Contigo Purity
BEST BUDGET GLASS WATER BOTTLE WITH NO PLASTIC PARTS
MSRP: $15.49
MEASURED WEIGHT: 1 lb. 2.3 oz.
PROS: Affordable, no plastic components at all, the leakproof, narrow mouth is easier to drink from while on the go, dishwasher-safe
BOTTOM LINE: The Contigo Purity glass water bottle is an affordable option for those looking for something simple. This bottle has no plastic parts; a pretty rare feat for any product in today’s market. The Contigo has the slimmest profile of all the glass bottles we tested which makes it easy to fit in small cupholders and the side pockets of backpacks. Functionally, the lid design is not our favorite, but we love the minimal styling and the clean, sustainable approach by Contigo.
Lifefactory Glass 22 oz. w/ Active Cap
GLASS WATER BOTTLE WITH GOOD LID OPTIONS
MSRP: $24.99
MEASURED WEIGHT: 1 lb. 3.1 oz.
PROS: Ergonomic shape & size, multiple lid options available, easy to drink from the spout, measurement lines
BOTTOM LINE: We love the ergonomic shape of the Lifefactory Glass Water Bottle and the fact that it’s the only bottle on our list that has options available for swapping out the lid. Out of the lid options available, we prefer the active cap because the pour spout makes for a dribble-free drinking experience while you’re on the move.
