Whether you're into challenging hikes, intense workouts, or strength training, the best water bottles will help you stay hydrated.
Plus, having a reusable water bottle that you like can motivate you to drink more water and reduce single-use plastic. The best water bottles are durable, leak-proof, and available in a variety of shapes and sizes.
“Many of us have a few unused water bottles in our kitchen cabinets. Choose one that meets your needs and that you enjoy drinking from, and you’ll significantly reduce your risk of dehydration,” Elliot Hansun, a personal trainer and founder of EH Coaching, told Live Science.
Water makes up about 60 percent of our body and is vital for all bodily functions—delivering nutrients to cells, digesting food, maintaining normal temperature, and lubricating joints.
Staying hydrated before, during, and after exercise is essential to keep your body functioning efficiently. When you exercise, you lose a lot of fluid, which needs to be replenished to avoid dehydration. Drinking after exercise can reduce the risk of delayed onset muscle soreness, known as DOMS.
At Live Science, our testers carefully evaluated some of the best water bottles on the market, focusing on factors like price, size, insulation, spout design, and leak-proofing. Find a bottle you love, and you’ll be more likely to stay hydrated. Keep reading to learn about our picks for the best water bottles.
