Insulated water bottle-which one is best?

[bookgirl]

I have a Yeti (the water bottle with a screw top cap) and two Hydro flasks. The Yeti holds ice better but the Hydro has better cap options. I've taken both to the parks. The Hydro is lighter and with a straw cap option is the one I like better. (The cap will sweat but the bottle doesn't). With the option to refil my bottle from a quick service the ice issue is not a problem and the Hydro does stay cold for hours.

Love my S'well. It kept ice all day while the other ones we used all melted when we used it this summer at a local fair. The opening isn't large so getting ice in isn't the easiest.

We have swell bottles and yeti bottles.

What was easiest for us was toting a thin, lightweight bpa free plastic filtered bottle (we used bobble brand). For convenience we carried one for a family of four. We prefer water over anything else so we'd refill with free cups of ice water from a nearby QS place. On occasion we'd refill from a water fountain which the filter helped to get out the nasty taste. Most of the time though from QS places..oh and always cold since it was ice water.

Another for Contigo insulated containers. Having said that, as far as park touring, I bought an off brand camel pack (mountain something I believe) and have never looked back. I pack it with ice and water in the morning, add 2 bottles of frozen water and 2 of us are good for the day. Holds snacks, wallets ponchos. Everything. I highly recommend to anyone.

We bought 18 oz. Takeya insulated water bottles for our trip last month. They worked out great! We experimented at home, and there was still ice inside 24 hours later! We'd fill them up in the morning, and we always had cold water. It was very easy to refill at quick service locations. I highly recommend them!

Did the water bottle sweat or leak? Also can you post a link or a picture of the bottle? There are so many different bottles. Thank you!

We used a Hydro Flask and frozen water bottles on our trip a couple of weeks ago. We'd drink the water out of all of them before we had to search out counter service or water fountains. We are water drinking fools. We still had a stroller this year, so we didn't have to carry them around. The Hydro Flask kept ice all day. As time went by, we'd eat some of the ice, though, and have to get more from counter service.
