The Eddy+ filtered LifeStraw vacuum-insulated bottle by CamelBak combines the latest innovations from two of the most successful names in outdoor adventure. CamelBak designed the 32-ounce stainless-steel bottle to keep liquids cold for up to 30 hours, which proved accurate during four months of testing. The Eddy+ bottle uses double-wall construction and sweat-proof powder coating to achieve its pack-leading insulation.

The bottle’s two-stage filter removes bacteria, microplastics, and parasites via a hollow fiber element. It then reduces lead, chlorine, taste, and odor via its ion exchange stage. The result is a heavy-duty safety device and a backpacker-friendly form factor. Our tester’s favorite aspect is the bottle’s versatility. The LifeStraw attachment is optional, an intelligent addition that lets you reserve the heavy-duty micropore filter for situations like backcountry tours. You can easily detach the filtration device or swap the entire cap out with another widemouthed lid for short trips. In terms of cons, testing revealed some minor drawbacks. First, preparing the filter for initial use requires close adherence to LifeStraw’s instructions, which come with the Eddy+. Second, even at peak performance, delivery of water through the straw is slower than we would like. That said, the straw’s impressive benefits more than justify a few performance limitations.

For those who find themselves constantly on the go, this YETI Rambler insulated water bottle is as tough as they come. Toss it around your car, throw it in your daypack, this bottle can take all the punishment you throw at it. I’m notoriously rough on gear and can’t kill it. It’s made from durable stainless steel with a DuraCoat Color that’s made to last and still look good even after months or years of use. It features a Leakproof TripleHaul Cap so even if you’re as clumsy as I am, no spills will be had.

YETI helped sponsor the USA Climbing Elite National Championships and part of our competitor swag bag was a Rambler bottle. It has been glued to my hip ever since. I mostly use this for warm beverages and morning tea, but it’s an excellent choice for cold water too.
