CamelBak 0.75 Liter Insulated Bottle Carrier


This insulator just doesn't keep my liquids cool for as long as I expected it should. It might be I have too high expectations, given that it is just neoprene and not all that thick but my drinks seem to warm up just about as fast as if I had no sleeve at all.

NALGENE Tritan 1-Quart Wide Mouth BPA-Free Water Bottle


The words that are printed on the bottle are wearing off and I have only been using it for 3 days. The size and durability of the bottle is great, but I'd like to keep the ounces and printed information on it. It would also be nice if I didn't have to unscrew the entire top for water access.

Klean Kanteen Poly Sports Cap


The little clear plastic plugs fell out within the first week. One is lost forever. Without these little plugs, the bottles leak all over through that hole. Very disappointed!

Liquid Logic Excursion BPA Free Single Wall Stainless Steel Water Bottle (26-Ounce)


Cheapest price for a large stainless steel water bottle on Amazon. There is a slight metallic taste but this goes away after several uses. Washing w/ vinegar helps to remove the metallic taste.

Sigg Traveler Classic Water Bottle (0.6-Liters)


I like this bottle a lot--it's the right size for me, keeps liquids cold for longer than the nalgene bottles and is convenient to carry. It's small opening means that it is not as easy to fill and the screw top is more difficult to open than competitor styles. But, all in all, I think the Sigg bottles are the best on the market.

Nalgene Tritan Wide-Mouth Water Bottle - BPA Free


I like that the bottle is BPA free, and the cap is secure. It holds a lot of liquid as well. I'm not as crazy about the wide mouth, but it does make it easier to clean. Doesn't fit in a lot of cup holders either.

NALGENE Tritan Wide Mouth BPA-Free Water Bottle


This bottle is a trooper. I've had it almost a year and I've put it through some rough stuff. It's taken a beating but is still holding together fabulously. I was worried that I would break the loop that keeps the lid attached but that is tougher than it looks and shows no sign of breaking. It's reusable, BPA-free, and I love the color--what's not to like? Even the milliliters markings on the outside are durable--they've had their share of abuse but are still legible. I suspect I'll be using this until someone discovers something toxic about Tritan plastic...
My only caution about this bottle is that it did take about 8 thorough hand-washes before I got rid of the nasty plastic after-taste that is present in all new water bottles. Also if I leave water in it for more than about 24 hours it'll start to taste faintly plastic-y. But that's the case with any water bottle no matter which plastic it's made from.
