Running Water Bottles: FAQs
What are the best brands of water bottles?
The best running water bottles are durable, easy to use, and offer adequate temperature control. They should also be affordable, versatile, and lightweight.
Hydro Flask water bottles, for example, are a great choice for outdoor adventures. These vacuum-sealed bottles are made from stainless steel and can keep drinks cold or hot for hours. Choose between a standard and wide fit; each comes with a Flex Cap for easy carry on the trail.
Camelback water bottles are simple and convenient, making them ideal for everyday commutes and gym workouts. The reusable water bottles are BPA-free for ease of mind and dishwasher safe for easy care. They also feature a mud cap to keep dirt out.
If you carry a bag while running, a S’well bottle is a great pick. These stylish stainless-steel bottles feature a copper wall layer that prevents condensation from building up. Now you won’t have to worry about your bottle sweating all over your stuff.
A hard plastic water bottle from Road Runner Sports will have your back during intense training. Lightweight yet tough, these bottles are made to last while pushing you further.
How durable are water bottles for running?
Water bottles come in a variety of materials, including metal, plastic, and glass. For running, water bottles made from BPA-free plastic or stainless steel are the most durable choices.
Plastic water bottles are lightweight, so they won’t be as tiring to carry. They’re also quite flexible. If you happen to drop yours on the road, for example, it won’t take as much damage. However, plastic bottles do have the potential to transfer harmful chemicals into your water, so it’s important to look for BPA-free options.
On the other hand, stainless steel water bottles won’t leak any harmful chemicals. This makes them much safer for your health. While they’re prone to denting, stainless steel bottles are also non-corrosive, which means they’re more durable than plastic. They also keep drinks hot or cold for longer.
However, stainless steel bottles are a lot heavier. It can be uncomfortable to carry these accessories around, especially on longer runs. If you struggle with the extra bulk, consider a hydration pack instead. These reservoir systems fit like a backpack or waist belt for on-the-go, hands-free hydration.
How do I run with a water bottle?
The simplest way to run with a water bottle is to hold it by hand. It costs nothing, and it’s right there whenever you want to take a sip. Look for designs with a hand strap for the most secure grip.
While convenient for jogging and short runs, holding a water bottle isn’t always practical for long-distance training. It can get super tiring and uncomfortable, sometimes resulting in hand cramps. In this case, it’s better to carry your water using a hydration bladder, waist belt, or vest.
Hydration bladders are water pouches with drinking hoses attached. When carried in a pack, they allow you hands-free sipping for a distraction-free run. Hydration belts fit around the waist like a belt. They feature storage for a water flask and other on-the-go essentials, like your phone and keys. Hydration vests are designed to accommodate up to two water bottles, giving you the option to carry a second drink on your run. Lightweight and breathable, they also feature pockets for extra storage. Explore a wide range of designs to discover your best fit.
