Reusable water bottles are a matter of personal taste, and WIRED reviewers have strong opinions on which jug reigns supreme. We’ve spent years testing, sipping, and spilling our way through the best water bottles to round up our favorites.

The Stanley Quencher tumbler has been flagged due to lead soldering, a practice we think is unnecessary given the availability of lead-free alternatives. This issue might seem like a minor concern, but it’s important to remember that no amount of lead exposure is safe, especially for children and pregnant people.

Hydro Flask stands out as the best overall pick, with its customizable options and durability. Outdoor enthusiasts and those who want a bottle that won’t easily crack or break will find it a reliable choice. Owala’s FreeSip Sway bottle offers a more refined experience, with its multifunctional mouthpiece and comfortable grip. However, the lid can be a bit tricky to clean.

The Nalgene bottle, made from Tritan, is a BPA-free classic that’s perfect for carrying a day’s worth of water. It’s a symbol of outdoor living and a nod to the ’90s, though it might not be the most stylish option. The Larq bottle uses a UV-C LED light to sterilize water, reducing odors and bacterial buildup. It’s a great choice for those who want peace of mind, but the filter-free version might be more convenient.

The Brita bottle offers a portable filtering option for those who need their water to taste and smell perfect. It’s a simple and effective solution for anyone who’s particular about the quality of their drinking water.
