Whether you're at work, losing yourself on the hiking trail, training on your bike, or pounding the trails on a long run - you're going to need to stay hydrated, and the simplest way to make sure you have some thirst-quenching liquid at hand is with a good old fashioned water bottle.

While drink bottles from yesteryear were touted as sports bottles, they often had difficult to use pop-top lids and were made of a plastic that made the water rather unpalatable. The range available nowadays come in a range of closures from quick sip to secure closures with carry loops and they are made from a range of materials including food-safe resins, silicone, laminated BPA free plastics and good old stainless steel.

You'll now find collapsible bottles that are ideal for running vests, double-wall insulated bottles to keep your water cool in summer and your tea warm in winter, next-generation sports drink bottles with sip tops that work easily along with a whole host of patterns and textures that boast modern designs so your water bottle fits seamlessly with your lifestyle, whether it be work or play.
