To ask what water bottle you use?

I have to admit im guilty of buying a plastic water bottle, using it to death and then buying another.

but with this heat at the moment and a holiday coming up, I want a genuinely good, portable water bottle that will keep ice cold all day. My idea is to fill it with ice water in the morning and then refill through the day, hopefully with ice still in it.

At home I use a Stanley cup which keeps it cold all day, but is far too big to travel with! I’m thinking 500-750ml, and quite portable? Does anyone have any recommendations?

Owala is the best one I’ve ever had. And I’ve had a LOT of water bottle. Stays cool. Doesn’t leak. Not stupidly big. I like the sip or pour option. Winner all round for me.

I got a sistema one in Asda yesterday, not too big and it’s lightweight. The one I had before was far too heavy. The plastic ones start to smell after a while even after scrubbing so I wouldn’t recommend those ones

Is it insulated?

I use a sho one and it’s brilliant at keeping drinks cold. I fill it with ice and water and it still has ice in it 12hrs later. I just top it up throughout the day
