So my go to is the Zefal Arctica insulated water bottle. It's doesn't do the best job at keeping water cold, but it's good enough at it that I'll take that trade off for the weight savings while on a bike trip.

My Klean Kanteen is my non-biking go to because I like my water cold, but I bought it with a "cafe cap" which sucks ass when all you're doing is using it for water because it's a pain in the ass to clean the cap. Definitely recommend the normal screw top if you don't need to keep hot sippable beverages in it.

Shout outs go to my smaller zefal biking bottle, even though it's not so good for me because it keeps less water and its not insulated, just because the bottle says Trans Rights.

Now, my needs. I've upgraded my bike bottle carrying infrastructure thinking that I'll get myself a 1L Nalgene. But it turns out that there's a shortage of Nalgenes and they're not so easy to get at decent prices. So now I might just go for a different big water bottle, but I don't know what to get. I'm probably using it for long bike rides so the weight of double walled insulation isn't really something I want.

I use the Nalgene wide mouth bottles with "easy sipper" inserts and often a flexible straw that fits inside the bottle.

Is large, can fit ice easily if you pull the insert out during filling and replace after, and most silicone straws fit inside comfortably.

They are not aesthetically pleasing though.

Functionally, I enjoy my zefal arctic bike bottle. It's not as effective as a double walled vacuum bottle but it does a decent enough job at insulation for the weight.

I guess my favourite overall is my Kleen Kanteen purple water bottle, but only after I replaced the "cafe cap" with a normal kleen kanteen screwtop.

I also have a soft spot for my other zefal water bottle, even though it's not as functional and carries less water than I need because it has colors that says trans rights.
