Memobottle original., A5

Product Information

Although the bottle is made of stainless steel, the inside is lined with ceramic, to avoid any metallic taste transferring to the water. For each one, we took it with us when out and about, to test whether it leaked and if it kept our water cold all day – or kept hot liquids piping if it promised it would. UK consumers go through an estimated 14 billion plastic drinks bottles per year, according to Defra, but single-use plastic is falling out of favour thanks to efforts from David Attenborough and Greta Thunberg. Growing up in a small coastal town south of Melbourne co-founders Jesse Leeworthy and Jonathan Byrt saw first hand the devastating effect that single use plastic water bottles were having on our oceans and environment, an issue not unique to Australia. We loved the range of colours it comes in, including neon green, mint gelato and the blush pink we tested.

Discover sustainability made simple with CamelBak’s Tritan™ Renew hydration collection, made of 50% recyclable material.billion plastic water bottles are used in the UK each year, with the average person using 150 plastic water bottles every year – that’s around three a week. As it’s made from single-wall brushed aluminium, it doesn’t offer insulation but is impressively lightweight (180g when empty) and sleekly stylish in a utilitarian kind of way. It has a silicone bite valve and is made of compressible material, which means it gets smaller the more you drink, for easy storage on the go.

Some can be used with one hand and are ideal for drinking on a treadmill, while others fold almost flat after use for packing. Vargo says The patented Vargo Funnel Flask’s integrated silicone funnel is always right where you need it. If you need something a little sturdier that will keep drinks cold, we also rate Decathlon’s aluminium hiking water bottle 900 instant cap with straw 0.

If it’s too large, you risk spilling water all over you clothes; too small and it’s not a comfortable fit for the mouth. It’s clearly designed for your desk or the gym rather than a hike, so that’s unlikely to be a big issue. Whether you are a connoisseur, an enthusiast or a casual admirer of wine, one truth remains: the delicate taste of wine change upon exposure to oxygen. The Recon is a versatile and practical drinks bottle that works well for outdoor adventures, gym sessions and everyday use.
