Outdoor drinking bottles

What kind of drinking bottles are there for hiking

As you may have already read, it is always wise to bring drinks with you when you go for a walk, regardless of the walking distance. There are different drinking bottles that you can take with you during your hike.

Thermos flasks

Some people love to have a cup of coffee on the go. It is wonderful to find a beautiful spot and drink your own coffee from your drinking bottle, but how do you keep the coffee at the right temperature? This can be done with a thermos flask! Thermos flasks are often made of stainless steel or aluminum and are treated on the inside with another material, preventing the aforementioned materials from mixing with the drink. But thermos flasks are not only ideal for keeping coffee and tea warm, you can also use them to keep water (or other cold drinks) cold! At Plutosport.nl you can find thermos flasks that can keep your drink warm or cold for a few hours.

Hydration backpack

If you are going to walk many kilometers, it is even more important that you drink enough! If you want to cover long distances quickly while hiking, without too many breaks in between, it is best to choose a hydration backpack. The hydration backpack sits comfortably on your back and allows you to drink larger quantities more easily because you can take bigger sips.

What material should my drinking bottle be made of?

Many drinking bottles are made of plastic, such as the well-known water bottles, but there are also drinking bottles made of hard plastic. The regular water bottles have the major disadvantage that the smell of the plastic often mixes with the drink, giving your tasty drink an unpleasant aftertaste. Drinking bottles made of hard plastic are often made without the addition of Bisphenol A (or BPA) which causes the unpleasant smell and taste. For example, Contigo drinking bottles are also made without BPA, keeping your drink fresh and tasty!
