It may seem like a common, everyday item, but the water bottle has grown over the years to become an activity-specific accessory used for comfort and convenience as much as for hydration.

Choosing a good water bottle can be complicated, what with thousands of companies coming out with jugs, tumblers, flasks and so on in every shape and size. Most brands claim that their bottles are BPA-free, durable and safe to use.

With several top quality brands of water bottles on our shelves, Gearaholic offers you this simple selection guide to help you find a hydration solution to best suit your needs.


How to choose the right water bottle brand for you

Choosing a goodwater bottle brand isn’t as simple as picking the prettiest one in your favourite colour or the one with the lowest price tag.

Your brand choice will depend largely on your activities or where you plan to use your water bottle, whether it’s at school, the gym or the office, or out on the road, by the sea or in the mountains.

If you see your water bottle sitting on your office desk most of the time, then your needs are bound to be different from those who’ll be needing a lightweight companion on an adventurous weekend hike or a leak-proof bottle that can get tossed around in your gym bag without soaking everything inside.

A good water bottle brand will typically offer a range of sizes that are easy to clean and easily adaptable to your lifestyle. A socially responsible brand will even encourage you to drink more water as part of staying healthy.

Environmentally-conscious consumers will also want to choose reusable water bottles for their durability and recycling potential, and might lean toward brands who disclose the eco-friendliness of their materials and manufacturing process.


What is your water bottle made of?

Be wary of plastic water bottles that may contain chemicals that could leach into your drinking water, and cause heart disease in adults, and be particularly harmful to infants. It is best to avoid unbranded plastic water bottles or brands that do not come with manufacturer’s notes on their bottles’ composition. Polymer plastics that are BPA, BPS and BPF-free are safe for use in hydration bottles.

Though generally considered safer than plastic, aluminium as a water bottle substitute also comes with its own risks if the bottle should be overexposed, which include skeletal complications in infants and neurotoxicity in adults.

Safer water bottle alternatives include stainless steel, or the steel used for making kitchen utensils, which is strong and lightweight, albeit prone to dents and scratches. Shatterproof glass is another alternative which, though it might cost more, can guarantee a clean taste of your water without plastics or chemicals leaching into it.

Insulated steel or glass is another option you might want to consider if you prefer to keep your water cold or hot for extended periods.
