Hiking water bottle buying guide<\/h2>\n

Price<\/h3>\n

Reusable water bottles come in at many different price points, but generally of course you\u2019ll pay more for high-quality materials, sustainable construction and practical features.<\/p>\n

While you can expect to pay up to \u00a320 for plastic bottles, you\u2019ll see some of the more premium designs selling at up to \u00a350.<\/p>\n

Insulated vs Non-Insulated<\/h3>\n

While insulated metal water bottles can keep your drinks hot or cold for hours \u2013 or even days \u2013 at a time, the payoff is their weight.<\/p>\n

Insulated bottles can also be more expensive and, as they\u2019re made of metal, you can\u2019t see how full they are at a glance.<\/p>\n

Weight and Packability<\/h3>\n

While metal insulated designs are often fairly lightweight at around 300g or 400g, they\u2019re usually more hefty than plastic alternatives, which are roughly 100g.<\/p>\n

Most hiking water bottles are easy to slip into rucksacks, but for ultimate packability, why not try a hydration pouch<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Metal vs Plastic Water Bottles<\/h3>\n

There\u2019s no right or wrong here \u2013 the decision between metal and plastic comes down to personal preference. If you\u2019re happy to choose a slightly heavier and more expensive design, a metal insulated water bottle is the clear winner. It\u2019ll be more durable and keep your drinks at the right temperature.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d rather strip out weight and go for a simple, familiar design, a plastic bottle is for you.<\/p>\n
