FAMILY

When you stumble upon a brand that resonates with you then it makes sense to support that. From my first Klean Kanteen purchase, I knew immediately it was a winner. Years later everyone in the house has one!

It’s hard to find a better recommendation than, “I’ve used it for years and it’s held up!”

In case you missed it, don’t forget to check out our Top 10 Water Bottle Brands article as recommended by us and our community

OUR TOP 10: Water Bottle Brands

If there’s one thing that everyone can agree must be included in every pack it’s the water bottle. As an essential part of health and survival, good hydration keeps you going further.

There are a few things to look out for when choosing a water bottle, the materials it is made from, its durability and how easy it is to keep clean. There are also considerations as to how it is used, for example whether you’re drinking on the go or stopping to take a break. All factors that will affect your choice.

We recently asked the Pack Config Community to tell us about their favourite water bottles, and we’ve combined that with years of loadouts from our readers, to put together this list for you of tried and tested brands.
