Insulated water bottles

Steel bottles and tumblers compared on capacity, lid style and price.

They all use the same double-wall vacuum construction, so insulation performance is close across brands. The real differences are lid style, whether it fits a cup holder, and whether it is dishwasher safe. Buy the capacity you will actually carry: a full 40 ounce steel tumbler weighs close to three pounds.
