Bottles

An innovative and sustainable water bottle that works brilliantly

Refined and well-engineered insulated bottle – but weighty and pricey

Sustainably made bottle, but issues with the bite valve mean it can be annoying to use

Does everything you might hope, though the valve is quite tough to open

Innovative idea, but I didn't find it as practical as I'd hoped it would be

Good all-rounder that keeps drinks cooler for longer but would benefit from minor refinement

Great bottle for rough, dirty and exhausting trails

Ideal way to upgrade your existing bottles to be muck-free – if it fits...

It's a great way to store water low down and in a small space

Well made and with a good quality leak-free removable valve, but not much of an insulation effect for the extra money

An environmentally friendly and useful everyday bottle, but not the most practical for use on the bike

Nice-looking storage option, but very expensive for what it does

Leak-free bottle for those who like little sips, but won't stay in all cages

Makes suspect water instantly drinkable – if you're into adventures, it's brilliant

Effective and rattle-free storage with loads of room

A sensibly priced, rattle free solution to carrying your tools and spares

Competent bottle that's easy to live with and to keep clean

Grippy to hold, delivers fluid fast with just the right amount of squish, easily cleaned and BPA-free

Full marks to Elite for producing an eco-friendly bottle with pro-level performance and a price that's easy to swallow too

The largest cycling water bottle in the world does exactly what it says on the tin

Keeps drinks cold for hours and easy to use, though the price is a little hard to swallow

Leak-free, taint-free bottle that'll stay put in your bottle cage

A bit pricey but keeps your drinks tasting fresh while remaining stain free

Good size, well-priced bottle with a very nice mouthpiece

Bottle that doesn't retain any nasty aftertastes, great for use with electrolytes
