💧 Sports Bottle Guide

📦 Capacity by Activity

You can roughly calculate how much water you need per day in the water requirement calculator.

🧵 Materials

• Stainless steel — long-lasting, doesn't retain odors, fairly light; can dent and is not resistant to bending.
• Tritan/plastic (BPA-free) — lightweight, inexpensive; may absorb odors over time.
• Glass — cleanest taste, but heavy and breakable — not suitable for sports.
• Collapsible Silicone — very convenient for travel, but capacity is limited and harder to wash.

🔧 Details That Really Matter

• Lid: "sport" type (drink without unscrewing) is convenient when running; screw-on — more leak-proof.
• Wide neck — makes it easier to add ice cubes and wash.
• Anti-sweat coating — the bottle doesn't slip in sweaty hands.
• Rinsing Option — whether the sealing gaskets can be removed and washed separately.

🧼 Care

Wash after every workout with warm water and mild detergent, and once a week with a cleaning brush and a cleaning tablet (baking soda or special tablets). Leave it open to dry — a damp closed bottle is the best place for bacteria. Do not try to put cold drinks into the bottle straight from the refrigerator if the manufacturer does not recommend it.
