  Water bottle for travel

  I like the original 17oz Swell with the bottle handle accessory. They’re on sale right now too https://www.swell.com/products/bottle-handle?variant=43290541523202

  Water bottle that keeps water cold?

  This is the [bottle](https://www.swell.com/products/roamer-64oz?variant=43969282539778) i take to the pool/beach - 64oz - rated at 72 hours of keep-cold but i find ice to be pretty much all there after 5-6 hours in the hot sand. The larger the capacity, the more insulation, the longer it retains temp just like the rotomolded coolers (larger capacity = thicker walls)

  Best corporate gifting platform for durable, long lasting employee gifts?

  I have an engraved Swell bottle that I use daily. Accidentally left it at a workout class on the other side of town that I was only at to attend with a friend. In most circumstances I would have given it to the universe, but nope I drive 45 minutes to get that bottle back. I also received a backpack by the brand State. It’s been 8 years so it’s showing some wear but it’s still my go to when traveling. (And a great bonus is that I received it without any corporate branding on it except for a little keychain pull of their logo attached. Very easy to remove!) I heard after I left that they started cheaping out on the swag.

  With a new style of water bottle popping up every year, Which one have you stuck with?

  I used to drink from a Dasani plastic water bottle all the time and I wanted a proper bottle that was in the same shape and not a jug, so I got a Swell; I absolutely love it and have been using it for probably about 7 years!

  I’ve had the same swell bottle for almost 15 years. They’re so great and still keeps my water hot or cold for hours.

  Water Bottle to replace my girlfriend's addiction to Smart Water

  Why don’t people like swell bottles anymore? I personally think metal is the best and easiest to clean. When I make tea at night, I just pour the extra boiling water into my swell bottle and then later put it in the dishwasher.

  BIFL request: A thermos that actually keeps tea hot for hours

  Swell is an oldie but a goodie. I have a Yeti and Fellow but those go to lukewarm within a few hours (sometimes I forget to drink or I left it on my desk and run to back to back meetings).

  Water bottle that keeps water cold?

  I have several Swell bottles and they're my favorite for keeping stuff cold. I had one of those original bottles in a hot car for hours when I went to a theme park. Came outside end of the day and the water was still super cold. Idk if the actual design of all their bottles is my fav but at least they're effective. I have some with the flip straw lids too that also stay cold. I use some of their coffee mugs for iced coffee and this is also better than any other I've tried. I actually can enjoy iced coffee at work now because it doesn't immediately melt. I've still had ice in the cup even after an 8 hour day. The brand is pricey though. They have occasional sales.

  I want to buy a good water bottle

  Sigg >= Swell>Yeti>Fellow I have all four and the one I keep reaching for are the oldest my Sigg or Swell (depending on if it need it hot/cold). Fellow was a gift and while I liked the aesthetic of it - functionally it was horrible to use and didn’t keep it hot or cold.

  Best water bottle to take everywhere? One that can last very very long?

  Same, I've broken several Nalgenes, and they get scratched and look terrible too. I like my insulated Contigo, and I also got a Swell in 2019 at a conference. It's going strong! I use it almost daily.

  Water bottle that looks like...a water bottle.

  Swell water bottles. Stainless, but no taste. Keep ice for a few hours, normal sized too. Also good for hot!
