All hikers know that a good reusable water bottle is the foundation of your gear (you can't go anywhere if you're dehydrated). But for some reason, several of my outdoorsy friends still buy their water by the liter in single-use plastic bottles, or, even worse, refill their single-use plastic bottles and risk chemical leaching.
Thankfully, there are some great offers on the best water bottles for Cyber Monday and you can pick up several top brands for under $20. If you're not sure whether you should be going for stainless steel vs plastic, I've collected a few of the ones I'll be purchasing as stocking stuffers below (some stainless steel, some plastic).
My absolute favorite and the best water bottle for hiking in my opinion is the CamleBak Eddy+, which I use every day and is under $12 in the Cyber Monday sales.
How to choose a water bottle for hiking
When looking for a reusable water bottle I'm always very aware of the weight. Plastic options like the CamelBak tend to be lighter (and cheaper) while steel models will be a bit heavier.
However, steel bottles will be able to keep your drink at its ideal temperature. Plus, they tend to be more robust, so they can take a few bashes if you're scrambling over rocks. That might make them a better option for most hikers, but I prefer my CamelBak for everyday use.
