Best reusable water bottles to keep you hydrated in 2025

If you want to chuck your water bottle in your bag and forget about it for the rest of the day, look no further. The seal on this bottle is utterly leakproof, even when we left it lying on its side for hours. It operates by pressing a button on the front, which makes the spout pop up. Once it’s pressed back again, there’s a protective spout cover to stop it from getting dirty (a nice touch), and a tiny sliding lock to prevent the button from pressing accidentally when it’s in your bag – something that has happened to us far too many times in the past.

The double-wall vacuum insulation keeps drinks cold for up to 28 hours – even after sitting in our car all day – and there’s a carry handle to make life easier. The only downside is it only comes in one size, which some people might find a little too large. This has everything you could want in a water bottle, without costing a fortune. It’s available in four attractive shades of muted blue, pink, black and grey; it has a carry handle, and the double-walled vacuum construction will keep drinks hot for 12 hours or cold for 24 hours. We also love the fact it’s not enormous, which makes for easier drinking, and it has a sleek, modern design that makes it look a lot more expensive than it is. Plus, 10 per cent of each sale goes towards the Life’s a Beach charity, which works to eradicate single-use plastic from beaches and waterways, as this makes up a shocking 49 per cent of beach litter. What’s not to love?.

This is one seriously good-looking bottle. We loved the range of colours it comes in, including neon green, sky blue and the blush pink we tested. You can even mix and match colours, so the lid is a different shade from the bottle itself. Although the bottle is made of stainless steel, the inside is lined with ceramic, to avoid any metallic taste transferring to the water. It’s fantastic at keeping hot and cold drinks at the right temperature, too, thanks to the triple-wall vacuum insulation.

There’s a choice of two lids – a one-handed push button lid or one with a golden stainless steel straw, which makes a change from the cheap plastic straws many bottles use. We did find it tricky to lift the spout of the straw lid without touching the end we needed to drink from, though. There’s not much this bottle can’t do. It looks more like a flask than a traditional drinking bottle, and could certainly withstand any hike or camping trip – that’s unsurprising, though, when you consider the company is best known for its outdoor gear and makes everything from coolers to camping mugs.

The brand recently found more fame when its ‘quencher’ – an oversized tumbler with a handle and straw – became a TikTok sensation. This quick flip bottle, though, is more for practicality than posing, keeping iced drinks cold for a whopping 40 hours, thanks to its double-wall vacuum insulation. It’s utterly leakproof and didn’t spill a drop even when it lolled around in our bag for a whole day.

No need to turn to pricey bottled water if you hate the taste of tap water. King of the water filter Brita has a nifty solution with this sturdy bottle that includes two MicroDisc refillable water filters. These last for around 60l or four weeks, and have an activated carbon filter that removes chlorine and other nasty-tasting substances. However, good-guy minerals such as calcium and magnesium will still pass through the filter and remain in your water.

We were surprised to discover just how good water can taste when using this bottle – our teen tester in particular was a big fan. We also liked the pull-up mouthpiece that’s protected by a lid, to keep it all clean, though, it is quite stiff to use. The bottle gets bonus points for being dishwasher-safe, though, do remember, you will have to buy replacement filters once a month. Trust iconic cookware brand Le Creuset to make a bottle as discreetly stylish as its covetable casserole dishes. Available in the brand’s distinctive range of stand-out shades with an attractive ombre design, the company has elevated the bog-standard water bottle with small but smart tweaks, for added user-friendliness.

There are ridges on the silver screw cap, to make it easier to undo, and the double-wall vacuum insulation has a copper layer, so you won’t risk condensation. Drinks will also stay cold for up to 24 hours and hot for 12. Plus, it clearly displays the name Le Creuset in block capitals on the front, for tasteful showing off while you’re sipping. The original air up bottle became a must-have accessory in British schools, convincing even the most water-phobic child to get sipping throughout the day. A flavour pod fits over the mouthpiece and, by the power of smell, convinces the drinker they’re sipping a flavoured drink rather than bog standard water.

The problem was that the original version of the bottle tended to leak, and we lost count of the number of times our junior tester’s school bag came back soaked. Air up has now designed a new version of the same bottle and it’s a huge improvement. It comes with a rubber seal inside to stop any leaking – though, it’s worth checking this is in place whenever you fill it. Ours slipped once without us noticing and the school bag got another drenching. The lid also needs to be fastened correctly to prevent further leaks, which our young tester sometimes failed to do.
