Clever Hiker: Bottles Bora ya Maji
Water bottles. We all use them, but many of us don’t really put much thought into it. We just use whatever vessel is laying around. If you’re still sipping from that banged up old bottle you've had for a decade, it’s probably time for an upgrade.
We’ve used dozens of different water bottles over the years - everything from heavy duty insulated bottles for everyday use to large-capacity soft bottles for long water carries in the desert and everything in between. In this guide, we’ll use our experience to help you easily find the best water bottle for you.
