The Best Vacuum-Insulated Bottles for Keeping Your Water as Cold as Ice
A good water bottle should keep your liquids from leaking. A great one, though, should also keep everything inside warm or cold—depending on whether you’re stashing ice water or an espresso. And for that, you’ll need a vacuum insulated water bottle.
Vacuum insulation means that your water bottle has a stainless-steel double wall, with a space devoid of air in between the two barriers that keeps external temperatures from reaching the internal liquids. In other words, it’s a great option for those on-the-go, who want their drink to stay the same temperature no matter how long it takes them to get to the office.

1. Iron Flask Sports Water Bottle
At their core, all vacuum-insulated water bottles have core parts in common. That’s why the details are so important. They’re what make a good bottle stand out. Take, for example, Iron Flask’s 32-ounce model. It keeps your water cold and comes with three different lids (screw-on, flip and straw). Best of all, though, the bottle comes in a kaleidoscopic array of colors. There are so many to choose from, including several multi-hued options, that you’re all but guaranteed to find one that works for your personal taste.

The bottle’s colorful DuraCoat finish, meanwhile, means that its bright hues won’t chip or scratch too easily.
