What should I pay attention to when buying a stainless steel water bottle?
To ensure long-lasting enjoyment of your bottle, you should pay attention to the following factors when purchasing:
1. Material quality
There are as many stainless steel bottles as there are grains of sand. But only a good water bottle will meet your needs and reliably accompany you on your tours. High-quality bottles made of robust ECO stainless steel are not only extremely lightweight and shatterproof but also food-safe and contain no toxic substances.
This allows you to enjoy your drinks without any unpleasant aftertaste and with a clear conscience. The long lifespan also speaks for the models made of high-quality metal.
2. Weight
You can recognize a good stainless steel water bottle by its low weight. This is extremely important on your tours, as every gram counts. Our bottles made of robust 304 stainless steel guarantee you maximum durability with minimal weight.
- Our stainless steel water bottle has a weight of just 190 g.
- The thermos bottles are slightly heavier at 397 g but are additionally insulated, making them ideal for cold drinks in summer and hot drinks in winter.
3. Insulation
There are different models of stainless steel water bottles: with and without additional insulation. So-called insulated bottles are also referred to as thermos bottles. They are intended for year-round use.
- In summer, they keep your drink cool for up to 24 hours.
- In winter, a stainless steel insulated bottle guarantees you warm drinks for 12 hours.
If you always value well-tempered drinks, our thermos bottles are just right for you. However, if the weight of your bottle is more important to you, we recommend using our "normal" stainless steel water bottles, as they are lighter than their double-walled counterparts.
4. Leak-proof
Reliability is irreplaceable on a tour. This also applies to a good stainless steel water bottle. Therefore, absolute leak-proofness is the top priority. Our water bottles are equipped with an additional silicone sealing ring and a sustainable bamboo lid. This ensures that everything stays in place.
5. Size and capacity
In our range, you will find stainless steel bottles in different sizes: 500 ml, 750 ml, and 1 liter. The smallest thermos bottle has a capacity of 350 ml and, thanks to the integrated straw, is especially suitable for children. So you have the right drink for every thirst on every tour.
6. Design
The design of a good stainless steel water bottle must primarily be one thing: timeless, practical, and yet elegant. All these components are combined in our models.
What are the advantages of stainless steel water bottles in the outdoor area?
Durability and shatter resistance are extremely important, especially in the outdoor area. After all, things can get quite hectic on the go. In such cases, conventional bottles can sometimes reach their limits.
- Models made of plastic and glass can easily break and do not guarantee well-tempered drinks.
- Sustainability and the health aspect of plastic bottles are also rather questionable.
Stainless steel water bottles are guaranteed to be free from BPA, plasticizers, and other harmful substances.
At this point, we would like to recommend our stainless steel lunchbox to you, so you not only have your drink safely packed but can also take something to eat with you.
Is a stainless steel water bottle suitable for carbonated drinks?
You should not use a stainless steel water bottle for carbonated drinks, as the seal cannot withstand the pressure in the long run. As a result, the bottle will lose its leak-proof quality over time.
How can stainless steel water bottles be best cleaned?
Our stainless steel bottles are dishwasher safe.
- You can easily clean them in the dishwasher.
- Alternatively, you can simply clean your bottle with a bottle brush under running water thanks to the large opening
- or rinse it with hot water.
The closure made of sustainable bamboo wood should only be cleaned by hand.
Can the water bottles be used for hot and cold drinks?
A thermos bottle is double-walled insulated and is suitable for hot and cold drinks. It keeps your drink cool for up to 24 hours and warm for 12 hours, which is ideal for long hikes in summer and winter.
Are stainless steel water bottles taste-neutral?
Since we use 100% high-quality ECO stainless steel for our stainless steel water bottles, each bottle is food-safe and therefore absolutely taste-neutral.
