Staying hydrated is critical.
Traveling can make this a little tricky. For example, when you fly you’re more likely to become dehydrated because airplane cabins have low humidity levels, and at high altitudes, the air is almost completely devoid of moisture. So whether you’re hitting the links, hiking in the desert, or just flying the friendly skies, having the right water bottle is key.
Known for its excellent insulation, the Hydro Flask keeps beverages cold for up to 24 hours and hot for up to 12 hours. Its durable stainless steel construction makes it ideal for both urban and outdoor adventures. The standard mouth size is perfect for easy sipping and adding ice cubes.
The Nalgene Wide Mouth Bottle is a classic choice for travelers. Made from BPA-free plastic, it is lightweight and virtually indestructible. The wide mouth makes it easy to fill, clean, and add ice or drink mixes. It's also compatible with most water filters, making it great for outdoor enthusiasts.
For those concerned about water quality, the LARQ bottle uses UV-C LED technology to purify water and clean the inner surfaces of the bottle. It’s rechargeable and ensures you have access to clean water wherever you go, making it perfect for international travel.
The S'well bottle combines style with functionality. Its triple-layered, vacuum-insulated construction keeps beverages cold for up to 36 hours and hot for up to 18 hours. The sleek design fits in most cup holders and travel bags, making it ideal for frequent flyers.
