Why Your Travel Water Bottle Matters

A water bottle may be a small travel accessory but it's role is huge. A well thought out bottle that keeps your drink at the right temperature for hours, that fits perfectly into your bag or into a cup holder and which in turn reduces your use of single use plastics – that is a quality bottle. A good bottle can turn a tiring travel day into a pleasant one by seeing you through dehydration.

Travelers have unique hydration issues: long flights, changeable weather, access to clean water which is not always reliable, and the issue of what to pack light. A good travel bottle solves all of these and more.

Key Features to Look For in a Travel Water Bottle

When selecting the perfect travel bottle, consider the following features:

1. Insulation

Your water bottle should maintain the temp of your drink – cold drinks stay cold and hot drinks stay hot. Double walled vacuum insulation is what you want which will keep your beverage at the right temp for 12-24 hours.

2. Leak Proof Design

No more soaked passports here. A secure tight lid is a must for air travel, day trips and daily excursions.

3. Size and Portability

The ideal travel bottle will fit in your bag, car cup holder or backpack side pocket. A 17 – 25 oz size is great for travel – large enough to keep you hydrated without the weight.

4. Material Quality

Go for stainless steel for durability, taste neutrality and temp retention. Also go BPA free and food grade.

5. Easy to Clean

You want a bottle that is easy to clean, especially on the go. Wide mouths and components that are machine washable are a plus.

6. Sustainability

Travelers are into sustainability. Go for companies that are into that – they use sustainable practices and materials.

7. Style and Personalization

Your water bottle doesn’t have to be boring. Get a sleek design, bright colors and the option to personalize it to express your travel style.
