AQUAFIT 1 Gallon Water Bottle with Straw - 4 Litre/128 Ounces Large Water Bottle with Time Marker - Giant Water Bottle Motivational - Gray

Product Information

Marks on the sides of the bottles remind you to keep drinking, including encouraging slogans such as ‘keep drinking!

Made from tough borosilicate glass wrapped in silicone to prevent condensation, potential slippage and breakage from knocks (although we didn’t perform the drop test this model), it looks great and performs well. Its insulated ‘flex cap’ has a novel rubber handle secured by two large circular rivets – they add to this bottle’s style and sturdiness.While most of us agree that carrying a reusable bottle is a sensible step towards helping reduce plastic waste, one drawback can be that filling it from the tap or a public water fountain doesn’t give you water as pure as the bottled stuff.

Fill up the plastic or metal water bottle with still or sparkling water, top with a flavoured pod, such as cassis, tangerine or cola, then sip through the straw, which aerates the water with flavoured air bubbles. Its double-wall vacuum insulation can keep water cold for an incredible 50 hours and hot for 20, both of which it achieves with aplomb.The edition we tested has the surprisingly large capacity of 750ml within its deceptively small A5 footprint. An easily loaded charcoal filter is also provided – simply drop it into the filter cage before attaching to the mouthpiece. A lot of thought has gone into the design: it’s easy to fill, with a neck wide enough to fit an ice cube, and, uniquely, the thread is inside the neck instead of the outside, making it pleasant to drink from and setting it apart from similar models. A small neck (about the same size as a standard plastic bottle) makes it easy to drink from while walking and textured sides stop it slipping out of your hand.

It also passes the shake test without any leaks, which is essential if you’re carrying this around in cases with expensive tech. Reusable water bottles are also miles better for the environment than single use plastics, so do your bit for the environment and your back pocket with a new water bottle. If you want your water to taste clean, this is a great option, and if you change your mind it even has a 30-day money-back guarantee. Modern insulated water bottles are genius bits of kit, designed to offer all the insulating functionality of a traditional thermos in a smaller, budget-friendly package. 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.

On the downsides, it doesn’t have any insulating properties and is fairly functional-looking, but those are small niggles. This original water bottle twins water with flavour-scented pods that gives you the impression you’re drinking something other than water. Remove the black box lid and you find the bottle nestled inside with two choices of lid in black or white. It ultimately gives you control over your drinks, whatever the weather, and is available in a selection of cheery, bright colours.
