The 12 Best Reusable Water Bottles To Buy In 2023
As a longtime sustainability editor (who is very prone to losing stuff), I've had dozens of reusable water bottles through the years.
In that time, I've learned that some are definitely better at managing mishaps like leaks and dents than others.
I personally prefer stainless steel bottles since I've had more than one glass bottle break on me in the past, and usually opt for a twist lid instead of a straw lid because I find them easier to clean. But that's just me.
I put together this list of the top 12 reusable water bottles to appeal to any type of sipper.
Though they vary in material, size, and design, each one is BPA-free, a joy to use, and guaranteed to make you forget all about single-use plastic.

Best insulated: S'well White Marble Bottle
By now, many people have heard whisperings of S'well's minimalist, sleek design and almost magical ability to keep drinks piping hot and ice-cold. It's true! Made from triple-layered steel, all of S'well's bottles are incredibly well insulated and can keep beverages cold for 24 hours and hot for 12.
S'well White Marble Bottle ($35)
Best budget: CamelBak eddy+ 20oz Bottle with Tritan™ Renew
This lightweight plastic bottle from CamelBak features a straw that's spill-proof when open and leaf-proof when closed, and a body that's made from 50% recycled plastic. At less than $15, it's an affordable option for anyone who's been known to lose a bottle or two in their day.

Best stainless steel: Hydro Flask 32 oz Wide Mouth
Hydro Flask's signature steel bottles are all over the place for a reason. They're well-made, versatile, and extremely durable. (Like, I've used mine for the past five years level durable.) They come in a variety of colors and lid designs, but the wide lid has my vote because it's so easy to fill and clean.
Hydro Flask 32 oz Wide Mouth ($29.22)
Best multipurpose: Welly Traveler 12oz
Pop open Welly's lid and you'll find a removable infuser for brewing tea or infusing fruit, making this a good pick for anyone who likes to jazz up their H20 every now and again. It's also well-sized for coffee and can double as a travel mug—though its sustainable bamboo bottom is not dishwasher safe, so you'll have to hand wash it between brews.
Welly Traveler 12oz ($30)
Best sustainable: Klean Kanteen Insulated TKWide 32 oz with Twist Cap
A certified B-corp, Klean Kanteen offers a sustainably made bottle that gives back. The company offsets their electricity use with renewable energy credits, uses recycled packaging material, and gives money to environmental causes through a partnership with 1% for the Planet. Most recently, they pledged to use 90% post-consumer recycled stainless steel in their bottles starting in 2023.

Best with built-in purifier: LARQ Bottle PureVis™
The only water bottle you'll find with its own charging station, LARQ's sleek, futuristic bottles have built-in LED lights to zap nearly 100% of the bio-contaminants from your water. These LEDs also make the bottle self-cleaning, so it's a smart splurge for travelers or those who don't have water filters at home.
LARQ Bottle PureVis™ ($95)
Best for camping: Parks Project PARKS Glow in the Dark Water Bottle
With an easy-to-fill wide mouth, large size, and lid hook, this one is ideal for strapping on your pack for a backcountry adventure. It'll be easy to find in your tent due to its glow-in-the-dark plastic, and every purchase goes towards helping the next generation of hikers thanks to a collaboration with Open OutDoors for Kids. See that little writing on the bottle? It's a list of national parks in the U.S.!

Best collapsible: Que The Collapsible Bottle
Short on space? This Que bottle collapses to less than half the size when not in use. (The company notes that this also makes it easier and less carbon-intensive to ship.) Bonus: Its lightweight, food-grade silicon body is dishwasher-safe.
Que The Collapsible Bottle ($24.95)
Best glass: Love Bottle

Best philanthropic: Cotopaxi MiiR Llama 20oz Wide Mouth Bottle

Bonus: This sleek bottle is designed to fit in your cup holder.
