The 10 Best Water Bottles With Straws For Easy Sipping and Impressive Insulation

Best Overall

Thermoflask Stainless Steel Water Bottle

View On Amazon $23 View On Target $30

This bottle from Thermoflask was a clear choice for our top overall pick because it's sleek, well-insulated, and durable. The streamlined design fits easily into all cup holders (crucial while commuting to and from the gym), and it comes in five sizes ranging from 18 to 64 ounces. The stainless steel exterior is easy to grip and provides great insulation, keeping our cold beverages nice and icy. It can also keep drinks hot for up to 12 hours—a pleasant feature to have when the temperatures start dropping.

When testing water bottles, we always ensure that every option we recommend is fully leakproof, and this pick didn't disappoint. We noticed no leakage, no matter which lid we opted for. Even after performing our durability test, where we dropped each water bottle at least three times from waist height, the straw on this water bottle didn't open up or start leaking.

We like that this water bottle comes with two lids—one with a straw and one with a wider mouth—for optimal versatility. In testing, we appreciated the convenient carrying handle on each lid, helping us easily tote the bottle from place to place. The only downside is it's heavier than some other options we recommend, although this also contributes to its impressive durability. Overall, it's a high-performing bottle and a great value for the price.

Best Budget

Pogo Plastic Water Bottle

View On Amazon $9

For just $10 (or less, depending on the size you choose), this water bottle from Pogo will help you track how much water you're drinking throughout the day. Made from tough plastic and silicone in a range of sizes and bright colors, there's a style that fits every taste and daily routine.

Unlike other plastic bottles, we love that this one is dishwasher-safe. No more fiddling around with long brushes or sponges—just toss the parts in, close the door, and let the machine do the work. We also like that there's a lid for the straw, which sets Pogo's bottle apart from others on our list.

A leakproof lid keeps your gym bag and other essentials protected, while a stretchy carrying loop makes it easy to bring this bottle with you on the go. Plus, it's BPA-free, so you can sip knowing you're limiting any potential exposure. Although it isn't insulated, we think the overall value you get for the price is worth the trade-off.

Best Stainless Steel

Hydro Flask Wide Mouth Water Bottle

View On Amazon $41 View On REI $35 View On Dick's

When you want the durability and safety of stainless steel, we recommend this water bottle from Hydro Flask. It will keep hot or cold drinks at the desired temperature for hours. Seriously, hours: up to six hours for hot drinks and 24 hours for cold drinks.

It comes in three sizes—24, 32 and 40 ounces—in various bright colors. The bottle is made of food-grade stainless steel, and the cap and straw are made from BPA-free plastic. When testing this water bottle, we found that the lid is easy to screw on and off, and we love that the spout flips up with the push of a tab.

The exterior is powder-coated to keep it from slipping and to help reduce condensation. You will have to hand wash it, but it comes with a lifetime warranty, so you know it’s built to last. We've also noticed that cleaning the straw is easy, as it detaches from the lid to allow for a thorough scrubbing.

We like that the bottle features a finger loop, allowing us to attach it to a backpack when traveling. Plus, in testing, it was sturdy, durable, and completely leakproof. And we can attest firsthand that this option will truly keep your beverages cold—we've found ice still frozen in the bottle after 24 hours.

^{Key Specs:
Material: Stainless steel, plastic | Capacity: 24 to 40 fl ounces | Weight: 17.8 to 22.5 ounces | Dimensions: 2.8 x 9.2 inches to 3.5 x 12.2 inches}

Best Insulated

Owala FreeSip Water Bottle

View On Amazon $33 View On Walmart $33 View On REI $33

All of the stainless steel water bottles with straws on our list are insulated in some way. But Owala's viral FreeSip is our favorite because it keeps our water cold for longer—and has a range of innovative features that set it apart.

Owala claims the FreeSip's double-walled insulation keeps water cold for up to 24 hours, which we've found to be true in testing. We love that the wide mouth allows us to add ice to keep our water at the perfect temperature all day long. Plus, the outside is just slightly textured for the right amount of grip, and even the largest 40-ounce size is easy to hold with one hand.

But the FreeSip's lid is the star of the show. Flip it open using one finger to access the spout, which offers two ways to drink. You can sip using the bottle's straw or take a big swig from the spout opening—ideal when you're overheating on the treadmill or elliptical. It also features a carrying handle that slots in place over top of the lid to create a seal that's truly leakproof.

Choose from a range of colors that compliment the FreeSip's sleek design. Just note that, while the lid and straw can go in the top rack of the dishwasher, the bottle has to be washed by hand. Also, unlike many other bottles on our list, the FreeSip is designed to hold cold drinks only.

^{Key Specs:
Material: Stainless steel, plastic | Capacity: 24 to 40 fl ounces | Weight: 14 to 20.1 ounces | Dimensions: 3.2 x 10.7 inches to 3.6 x 11.6 inches}

Best Plastic

Contigo Ashland Water Bottle

View On Amazon $15 View On Walmart $33 View On Gocontigo.com

While we recommend multiple plastic water bottles with straws on this list, Contigo's Ashland Water Bottle stands out for its compact size and intuitive design. If you're looking for a smaller plastic bottle to always keep on hand in your bag, in your car, or while you cycle indoors, this bottle is our top pick.

It has a wide mouth that's easy to fill with ice, and the straw pops up with a single push—no need to mess with caps or lids. When not in use, the straw can be tucked back down and locked to keep out dust and germs and keep the bottle securely closed.

It comes in several sizes and an array of colors. A carrying clip is built into the cap so you can easily take it on the go. The price is right, too, as you can score the 24-ounce model for less than half the price of other bottles on our list.

It’s BPA-free, dishwasher-safe (top rack only), and it checks all of the boxes for what you want in a good water bottle. We love that we can open this water bottle with just one hand and that it's durable and great for all occasions. However, if you're looking for something that's insulated, we suggest our top overall pick from Thermoflask.

^{Key Specs:
Material: Plastic | Capacity: 24 to 40 fl ounces | Weight: 7.2 to 9.8 ounces | Dimensions: 3.2 x 10.7 inches to 3.6 x 11.9 inches}

Best Large Capacity

Iron Flask Wide Mouth Water Bottle

View On Amazon $38 View On Ironflask.com

If you need to keep hydrated but don't have the opportunity to refill your water bottle often, whether you're gearing up for a hike or a long day out and about, we recommend Iron Flask's 64-ounce water bottle. Similar to the trendy Stanley Tumbler, this water bottle comes in a half-gallon size. It also has three lids, including a straw lid that we found easy to drink from, even while standing or walking.

With double-wall vacuum insulation, this pick keeps our drinks cold for up to 24 hours and hot for up to 12 hours. Plus, it keeps our water clean and never gives it a metallic taste.

When testing to see if this water bottle was truly leakproof, we shook it thoroughly, held it upside down for about one minute, threw it in a backpack, and walked around for about five minutes. We noticed that a few drops leaked out, but there were no major spills. So we'd recommend it for stashing in your backpack—just away from any sensitive or valuable objects.

Although this bottle wasn't the most durable one we tested, we still find it stylish and easy to drink from, with a truly impressive capacity.

^{Key Specs:
Material: Stainless steel, plastic | Capacity: 14 to 64 fl ounces | Weight: 7.2 to 27 ounces | Dimensions: 2.9 x 6 inches to 4.8 x 10 inches}

Best BPA-Free

Brita Insulated Filtered Water Bottle

View On Amazon $30 View On Walmart $17 View On Lowe's $23

Many of our top picks are BPA-free. But this bottle from Brita is our favorite because it also has a filter, unlike all of our other recommendations. We like that it has an easy-access lid: Simply push the button with one finger to reveal the silicone straw inside.

This bottle got high marks for portability—it's slim, has a convenient carrying loop, and is smooth to the touch for on-the-go drinking. However, it's not as durable as others we tested. When we dropped it, we noticed it dented easily and that the lid started to leak.

Still, we appreciate the bottle's modern design, which comes in a few stylish, muted colors. It offers two middle-of-the-road sizes, 20 and 32 ounces—enough to keep you hydrated all day long. Just note that it's hand wash only and can't go in the dishwasher.

^{Key Specs:
Material: Stainless steel | Capacity: 20 to 32 fl ounces | Weight: 16 to 18.6 ounces | Dimensions: 3.2 x 10.8 inches to 3.8 x 10.7 inches}

Best Glass

BLUEGO Glass Water Bottle

View On Amazon $29

Finding a glass water bottle with a straw can be difficult, but we think we've found the ideal solution in this option from BLUEGO. The wide mouth is large enough for adding your favorite ice, fruit, or other flavorings. We also love that it has a silicone sleeve to protect it from impact, so you can toss it in a bag or your passenger seat without a second thought.

Like other bottles on our list, this one has a lid with a button that can be activated using just one finger. Plus, the sleeve has time markers on it so you can track how well you're staying hydrated throughout the day. Choose from a range of colors and two sizes (56 or 64 ounces) to find the option that best matches your style and daily schedule.

For the size and the construction, we're impressed by the price of this bottle. You'll also get a brush for easy cleaning—yet another reason to invest. Just be aware that since it's made from thick glass, it's on the heavier side.

^{Key Specs:
Material: Glass, silicone | Capacity: 56 to 64 fl ounces | Weight: 29.6 to 45 ounces | Dimensions: 4.7 x 11.8 inches to 5.7 x 11.8 inches}

Best Dishwasher-Safe

FineDine Insulated Water Bottle

View On Amazon $15 View On Walmart $27

Unlike some of our other stainless steel picks, this bottle from FineDine is also dishwasher-safe. We love it because although it holds a lot of water, its streamlined design fits in most cupholders, including those on the Peloton Bike and Tread.

We also like that the triple-layered insulation keeps beverages hot for up to 12 hours or cold for up to 24. Leakproof and shatterproof, it's sturdy enough to withstand constant use. And the carrying handle on the straw lid is a nice, convenient touch.

While choosing your favorite color or pattern may be tough, you don't have to choose your favorite way to sip—this bottle comes with three lids, so you can switch them out as you please. But it is heavier than many of our other stainless steel picks, so it may be harder to carry on-the-go when it's filled all the way up.

^{Key Specs:
Material: Stainless steel, plastic | Capacity: 25 to 64 fl ounces | Weight: 19.4 to 37 ounces | Dimensions: 3.8 x 13.8 inches to 4.8 x 10 inches}
