HYDRATE Stainless Steel 2.2 Litre Water Bottle - Black - BPA-free Metal Gym Water Bottle - Convenient Stainless Steel Water Bottle, Hiking Water Bottle, Nylon Carrying Strap and Leak-Proof Screw Cap

Light weight and hold a good amount of water

Good design, strong and nice size

What is there not to like about this bottle, it has a handle and string to hold it by, it is easy to grip from the middle and the top. So it is not too big too handle, fits in my tiny bag nicely and is just a high quality water bottle.

As a larger person I have, for a very long time, struggled to drink enough water and am routinely severly dehydrated. As an office worker, I purchased this bottle to allow me to have a steady supply of water on hand as I tend to drink a glass or small bottle and not get up to find more. This bottle has made a huge difference in this regard and I like to fill it up in the morning and try to finish by the time work ends as a challenge. The bottle itself is very stylish and I have had compliments on the occasions I have taken it into the office. It is tempting to see a bottle this size as a novelty but the matt colours and sleek logo do work very well for a professional environment. The handle, strap and general metal construction is also very high quality and I am particularly impressed by the screw cap that feels very well engineered. The only reason I have dropped it to 4 stars is I do on occasion end up with a leak. I have figured out that this is due to overtightening the top section after refilling as when doing so it is very slightly crooked which leads to dumping quite a large volume of water over myself! Now that I have learnt to check this I have had zero issues, so it is user error but would have been nice if there was a way to idiotproof it! Overall, if you are in the market for a larger waterbottle then I can throughly reccomend this one.

The large 2.2l version which I bought is sturdy. Quite heavy when it's full, so if you've smaller hands you'd need to hold it with them both. It's not thermo insulated so it'll acclimatise to room temp quite quickly. I wanted to drink my daily requirement of water throughout the day but didn't like the idea of drinking from a plastic receptacle that's been washed in hot water, so thats why I went for metal, and for that purpose, this bottle has been great for me.
