Say goodbye to lukewarm beverages—insulated water bottles can keep beverages piping hot or icy cold for hours. Packing your own insulated water bottle when you fly can save you money (bring it through security empty and fill it up with chilled water at a bottle refill station) and help you keep that overpriced airport coffee warm through an entire flight. These are the best insulated water bottles and mugs for travel.
Brumate Muv 35oz
Insulated mugs with handles are all the rage right now, and for good reason—they make it easy to keep a firm grip on your beverage. However, most mugs with handles have one significant downside—they won’t fit in your car’s cup holder. Brumate solves this problem with their 35 oz Muv, which tapers down to a cup holder-friendly baser. Other travel-friendly features include a 100 percent leakproof lid, removable silicone sleeve, and a trademarked MagFlip design that keeps your lid open while you sip (but makes it simple to snap closed one-handed when you’re done.)
The Muv will keep your drinks hot for six or more hours and cold for over 24 hours.
Snow Peak Kanpai Bottle 500
The Japanese-designed Kanpai Bottle 500 from Snow Peak is vacuum-sealed and made from double-wall stainless steel that’s lightweight and won’t retain tastes or odors. The Kanpai Bottle will keep drinks hot or cold for hours.
The Kanpai comes with three lids—one to lock in heat, one to freeze for chilled beverages, and one for sipping on the go.
Simple Modern Insulated Water Bottle With Straw
An insulated water bottle with a straw is a necessity if you’re worried about spills, smudging your lipstick or staining your teeth with cold brew. Simple Modern’s Insulated Water Bottle comes with a BPA-free straw lid that’s dishwasher safe, making it easy to clean between trips.
Even with the built-in straw, the lid is leakproof.
Stanley Iceflow 64 Ounce Insulated Tumbler
Perfect for road trips or anywhere where you want a lot of water, the Stanley Iceflow holds up to 64 ounces of liquids. The double-wall design keeps drinks cold for up to 20 hours, and iced for up to four days.
A built-in flip straw makes the big bottle easy to drink from, and it also has a handle to help you carry it around. The entire bottle is dishwasher safe, so you can wash it after every use.
Zojirushi Insulated Water Bottle
If you want to be able to pack your water bottle inside your bag without worrying about leaks, invest in Zojirushi’s Insulated Water Bottle. The bottle’s lid has a spill-proof lock that makes accidentally opening it practically impossible.
The lid breaks into two parts so you can give it a thorough cleaning in between uses.
Contigo Aubrey Kids Insulated Water Bottle
Want your kids to hydrate more? Get them Contigo’s Aubrey Kids Insulated Water Bottle. The child-sized bottle holds 13 ounces of liquids, and will keep whatever’s inside cold for up to 14 hours.
The water bottle comes in fun colors so you can pick your kid’s favorite, and a unique pop-up straw design features a spill-proof valve that helps prevent accidents even when the spout is open.
Tervis Clear Insulated Water Bottle
Most insulated water bottles are made from steel, but Tervis’ is made from a BPA-free plastic that’s microwave, freezer, and dishwasher safe. Tervis’ water bottles are made in America out of an impact-resistant material that can withstand falls without cracking or shattering.
The bottle’s tapered design helps it to fit in bike cages and backpacks, and its lids feature a loop for easy carrying.
