Paperchase Agenzio 1L Water Bottle - Oatmeal

Product Information

We filled them with hot water and let them sit to determine whether or not materials leach to impart undesirable flavor (think of a water bottle left in a hot car). Because she is constantly traveling, Jane rarely drinks from a traditional drinking glass in a kitchen, making her an expert at hydration on the go. The quality and thickness of materials, as well as design and construction, seem to make a big difference in insulative quality. The second part of this test was how easy the closure, whether it be lid, straw, or cap, was to use. We keep a constant eye on the market for new and innovative designs and have seen many trends come and go over the years.

The Nalgene Wide Mouth is likewise more difficult to grip, and although the lid has a plastic loop that attaches it to the bottle, it's hard, edgy, and sharp and not comfortable to carry with over time.Our main reviewer is really sensitive to plastic taste and smell, so we were able to hone in on not just the differentiation but also the elements that contributed to the difference. That said, if you aren't a fan of a straw-style lid, the Nalgene's simple and classic design is a time-tested favorite for a reason. The water in this vessel got up to 110 degrees (at 81F ambient temperature) in our 6-hour sunbaked bottle insulation test. The Brita Stainless Steel Filter Bottle bottle was also extremely easy to operate one-handed, simply with the push of a button. Models for long hikes, bike rides, or climbing trips will differ from the bottles used at work or taken to the gym.

The straw attaches to the cap via a silicon receptacle, which we also found could be a weak point for wear.We tested collapsible and glass bottles, as well as bottles offering different methods of filtration. These were closely followed by the Hydroflask Wide Mouth with Straw, Yeti Rambler, and the Speedfil Speedflask.

The 20 ounces of water goes fast if you're big on hydrating like we are, though this bottle is also available in 32-ounce. At least you can rest assured that companies are taking environmental health into consideration and making plastic bottles out of materials that don't leach BPA, BPS, BPF, phthalates, and other known carcinogens into your water. The champions of this test were bottles that were easy to carry, allowing for quick hydration, and even fit in our cup holders.To ensure we got plenty of varied input, we also passed these bottles around to our friends and family. Everyone drinks water, but not everyone takes hydration as seriously as our lead bottle testers, Jon Oleson and Jane Jackson.

The magnet next to the bite valve securely attaches to your backpack strap (if designed for this use). The cap threads are well made, and it spins open with a satisfyingly smooth whirl and clamps down tight due to a rubber gasket under the lid. It's essential to stay hydrated, and you're probably more likely to do so if the water you're drinking tastes good. If you are hiking or biking and want the lightest and fastest way to filter water, check out the LifeStraw Peak Squeeze.The durable plastic cap has an ergonomic carry handle with a carabiner-like clip, making it easy to lug around. The Iron Flask is attractive and lightweight, plus its straw-style lid promotes hydration more readily than a standard wide mouth. If taste and insulation are a higher priority for you, the Klean Kanteen TKWide Recycled Insulated scored higher in those two metrics and just a point behind the Hydro Flask, overall.
