How to choose a water bottle in Singapore
Before we dive into a list of water bottles you can buy from top brands such as Owala, Chako Lab and Hydro Flask, here are some things to look out for when choosing a water bottle.
Water bottle material
Generally, you want to pick a bottle made from a material that is safe to drink from long-term. Stainless steel, aluminium, BPA-free plastic and glass are popular options.
Stainless steel: Stainless steel water bottles make for extremely durable containers that are best for keeping drinks at your desired temperature, especially if they are insulated bottles. However, stainless steel water bottles tend to be heavier and cost more.
Aluminium: Aluminium water bottles are lightweight and affordable but usually require a plastic liner. If not cleaned properly, the bottle can leak a metallic taste into your drink.
Glass: Water stored in glass water bottles tend to have the ‘cleanest’ taste. But glass water bottles are heavy and fragile; they are most suitable for home or office use.
BPA-free plastic: Of the four materials, plastic water bottles are the lightest. They are portable and affordable but tend to get scratched more easily and offer no insulation.
Water bottle features
Water bottle capacity: Having a smaller water bottle would mean you are carrying less weight around, but would require you to refill it more often. The reverse is true for a larger bottle.
Insulation: If you like your drinks at a particular temperature, look out for water bottles that offer double-walled vacuum insulation for better temperature retention.
Lid type: Straw and flip lids let you quickly sip water while on the go. Meanwhile, twist caps are the most secure and are usually leakproof. Wide-mouth lids allow you to drink water more quickly and are the easiest to clean and maintain.
Intended use for the water bottle
For outdoor activities or when you are on the move: Go for smaller, insulated stainless steel bottles that are durable and leakproof.
For the gym or indoor sports: Stainless steel, plastic and aluminium water bottles which offer easy drinking access are ideal. Pick bottles with features like an in-built straw or an ergonomic spout.
For the office or at home: Larger bottles would be best as you would not have to refill your water bottle as often. Glass bottles become a feasible option as there is less likelihood of damage.
