3. Plastic Bottles (e.g., Nalgene, CamelBak):

* Advantages: Light, durable, usually less expensive than glass or stainless steel.

(make sure to choose BPA-free bottles).

4. Collapsible Bottles (e.g., Hydrapak, Nomader):

Things to Consider:

* Capacity: Consider how much water you'd like to bring. Bottles usually vary between 12 oz and 64 oz.

* Insulation: If you need your water hot or cold for several hours, seek out insulated bottles.

* Ease of Use: Consider features like a wide mouth for easy filling or a flip-top for drinking on the go.

* Eco-Friendliness: If sustainability is important to you, stainless steel or glass is a good choice.
