Single-use plastic water bottles are so last decade. Reusable water bottles are not only great for staying hydrated — some even blink when it's time to drink — but they also prevent you from adding trash to landfills. They're great for traveling too, because wherever you can find water, you can just fill them right up (and you can bring it along through TSA and refill after without having to toss it away).
Some insulated reusable water bottles claim to keep your drink cold for up to 24 hours, so you can take an ice-cold sip hours after you fill it up. Plus, this one-time investment will save you from shelling out a few dollars every time you want to buy a water bottle.
Because there are so many bottle options available, we've tested and reviewed over 30 models with different features and narrowed them down to this list of the best. Happy hydrating!

Best Design
S'well always seems to be coming out with cool new patterns for their super popular reusable water bottles. But they're not just all looks — this bottle will keep your water cold for 24 hours, and it can keep hot drinks hot for up to 12 hours. It's far from fragile, too, with its stainless steel, triple-walled build.
One of the best features of the bottle is that it won't get moist with condensation, no matter how hot the temperature gets outside. You can buy it in the standard 17-ounce size, as a mini 9-ounce bottle, or in a larger 25-ounce bottle.
Best for Travel
When it comes to jet-setting, or just fitting a bottle of water in your purse or gym bag, the que bottle is genius. It expands to a 20-ounce size, or collapses down to measure just 8.4 inches. The bottle is also super light and won't add any bulky weight to a backpack or suitcase.
You can easily add ice to the wide opening to get a colder drink, though this bottle holds hot drinks too. And you don't need to worry about any water leaking out of the stainless steel screw-on cap! As easy as it is to refill, the BPA-free silicone material is even easier to clean, as it's dishwasher-safe.
Best Built-In Straw
If you hate having to unscrew the bottle top every time you want to take a sip of water, you’ll want to get a reusable bottle with a built-in straw cap. Hydro Flask’s version is the best.
Unless you live under a rock, you've definitely seen a Hydro Flask bottle. If you haven't tried one yet, their double-walled, vacuum-insulated, nontoxic, BPA-free bottles are seriously life-changing. The bottle will keep drinks icy cold for up to 24 hours, and they can even keep liquids hot for up to 6 hours. The powder coating will give you a solid grip and zero condensation. Hydro Flask bottles come in an assortment of sizes and colors to meet any and every need.
Their 32-ounce, built-in straw option is top of the line. To take a sip, just flip up the straw. Unlike other options where you have to bite down on a rubber straw to drink, this straw — made of hard, BPA-free plastic — won’t get gross over time, which makes it the best in our book.
Best Narrow-Mouth Bottle
Simple Modern offers an affordable, narrow-mouth bottle that comes in multiple sizes — 12, 17, 24, 32, and 64 ounces — earning the top spot in this category on our list.
Narrow mouth bottles make it easier to sip water on the go when there isn’t a built-in straw. They allow you to easily tip the bottle back without the water sloshing all over. Many other brands on the market don’t offer the narrow mouth on bottles bigger than 24 ounces. Simple Modern not only offers a narrow mouth 32-ounce bottle, but a 64-ounce option as well!
Best Wide-Mouth Bottle
Hydro Cell’s double-wall, vacuum-insulated bottle is one of the best due to its affordable price. Like other brands, Hydro Cell will keep your liquids cold for 24 hours and hot for 8.
The BPA-free, stainless steel bottles come in many fun colors to choose from. You’ll even receive two different tops: The stainless steel screw cap and a bonus sport cap with a built-in straw. For the low price, you can’t go wrong.
Best Glass Water Bottle
Purifyou offers the best glass water bottle, thanks to its stainless steel interior cap on the lid. This allows you to not only put your hot liquids in the bottle, but also seal the cap tightly and not worry that the high temps will crack the plastic.
The bottle is made from 100% recyclable glass and has a silicone sleeve for drop protection. It's also available in 12-, 22-, or 32-ounce sizes. The only downside is that the glass bottle won’t have the same insulation capabilities. To some, it doesn’t matter, as long as they’re not sipping from metal.
Best Smart Bottle
You never have to worry about hitting your daily H2O intake with this smart water bottle that lights up every hour to remind you to drink your water. The 22-ounce bottle is BPA-free and comes in several different colors, but its most wow-worthy feature is by far the included Bluetooth speaker hidden at its base. Impressive 360-degree sound and booming bass help get the party started, while dancing lights bop to the beat.
Coolest Effects
The Kiara Crystal gem-infused water bottle will keep your chakras aligned with every fill. This reusable water bottle features a stone that's 100% clear quartz at the base, which is meant to provide clarity and perception. Whether or not you're a believer in the supposed energy-boosting power of crystals, it does look really pretty! Each water bottle opens at both ends for easy cleaning. It also comes with a neoprene sleeve to protect the bottle in your bag.
Best Insulation
The Corkcicle canteen has three layers of insulation to keep your cold drinks cold for 25 hours and your hot ones hot for 12 hours. The stainless steel interior of the bottle won’t retain any taste, so you can put your water, green juice, or even wine inside and not worry. No matter what the temperature of the contents are, there won’t be any condensation — nor will you burn your hand.
Most Durable
Purist’s Founder bottle is a sleek and modern reusable water bottle, and it’s actually made of glass! The unbreakable, glass-interior finish keeps your water pure and doesn’t allow any smell or taste of metal. The outside is double-wall vacuum-insulated so your cold drinks stay cold for 24 hours and your hot ones stay hot for 12 hours. The leakproof bottle also comes in two other sizes: a 10-ounce and an 18-ounce.
