When I was a kid, I never remember drinking water. I swear that I survived on SunnyD and Kool-Aid (it was the 90s). But now that I’m older and wiser, and have finally figured out what pants look good on me, I know how important it is to stay hydrated (especially when you’re traveling). And one of the easiest ways to get that hydration is with a reusable water bottle that easily fits in your bag, purse, or carry-on luggage.
The best water bottles for traveling are made of plastic or stainless steel and feature the lid, spout, or straw that you prefer. Plus, it should have a leakproof design so you can throw it in your bag without worry (all of the bottles below promise to be leakproof). Lastly, keep an eye out for bottles with filtration options, which are essential when you’re camping or in a place where you don’t trust the water. Scroll down for features and some tips for water bottle cleanliness.
Whether you’re getting on a plane, train, or automobile, these are the best travel-friendly water bottles to keep you hydrated and refreshed every step of the way.
