Medical professionals and health care experts always tell us to hydrate and that is to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. Most of us are all on the go whether at school or at work and even at home. Most people today are always on the move here and there so it's easy for us to not drink the recommended amount of water daily. That is why most people carry water bottles with them so that they can quench their thirst even while waiting in line at the bank or at the supermarket or just sitting in the office.
Medical professionals and health care experts always tell
us to hydrate and that is to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. Most of us
are all on the go whether at school or at work and even at home. Most people
today are always on the move here and there so it's easy for us to not drink the
recommended amount of water daily. That is why most people carry water bottles
with them so that they can quench their thirst even while waiting in line at the
bank or at the supermarket or just sitting in the office. Today, water bottles
not only come in trendy designs and cool utility functions, they are also made
to be eco-friendly. Eco-friendly sports bottles are increasingly becoming
popular as they are reliable, durable and green compared to plastic water
bottles.
Some of the most trusted brands in eco-friendly sports bottles
is Nalgene. Nalgene is a US made, reasonably priced sport bottle that is ever
popular among sportsmen women, as well as among office workers and soccer moms.
Nalgene has a new line of sports bottles that are BPA free. Among the bottles,
the Tritan Wide-Mouth Everyday bottle is the hottest selling in the line and it
can hold enough water to keep you hydrated on a coast-to-coast flight or for a
full day at the office. The mouth of the bottle is large enough to accommodate
ice cubes and Nalgene sells a variety of accessories such as pop-up sports cap.
The bottle retails are $11.50.
Another innovative design in sports
bottles that are environmentally friendly are the Camelbak Better bottles. These
bottles are designed to not spill thanks to its "flip, bite-n-sip" design, even
when the flip lock is left open. These types of bottles are ideal for situations
where there is a lot of movement such as driving or drinking while on the move.
The Camelbak is also made with BPA free plastic and has a sporty design which
comes with a bottle-top loop that can be clipped with a carabiner to a backpack.
Consumers have a choice in colors and patterns such as argyle and hounds tooth
for a more urban feel. This bottle retails for $11 to $15 depending on its
liter.
Some companies have taken the humble sports bottle to a whole new
level by incorporating hip designs and cool extra features and the Sigg Traveler
takes the cup. Sigg, is considered hip as it is the popular choice among
celebrities and eco-stars such as the Dave Matthews Band. Sigg is from a Swiss
company and they have been in the business of making lightweight,
recycled-aluminum bottles for a hundred years. The Sigg is lightweight and has a
coating that prevents aluminum from secreting the contents. Up to its name, the
Sigg Traveler is uber- trendy and lightweight and comes two sizes and a variety
colors. The designs range from classic to simple steel. Unlike the Nalgene
Tritan Wide Mouth, the Sigg Traveller has a small opening that cant fit in ice
cubes but is great for warm beverages as the sports bottle is metal. Sigg offers
a carrying pouch and even a new hot-beverage Sigg as well as a specially
designed brush and cleaning tablets for cleaning. The price retails at $21.99
(0.6 liter); $24.99 (1 liter).
