Choosing a sports water bottle? We can help!

Even if you’re new to the gym, you already know how important it is to follow a drinking regimen during your workouts. And we’ve already written about this article

“Drinking Regimen for Fitness.”

Why it’s important to buy a sports water bottle

Instead of just using a plastic mineral water bottle?

1. First of all, because 90% of plastic mineral water bottles are not designed to be reusable. The plastic from which they are made, over time, emits harmful substances that have a negative impact on the body.

2. Sports water bottle – should be personalized, firstly hygienic and safe for your healthSecondly, its volume should be tailored to your needs and of course, thirdly, the design and construction should be consistent with your preferences

The main characteristics of the sports bottle.

1. Purpose of the bottle

For children:

For a child to go to physical education, to a sports club, for a bike ride, and so on. Here you should choose, first of all, a container of perfectly safe material. It is important that it would be convenient for your child to drink water from this bottle. And that means we choose small sports water bottles (Nike, Adidas and other “brands for adults” are not suitable in this case).

And secondly, sports bottles for children should be equipped with special caps and lids that are easy to open during classes. They should have a handy carabiner to strap the bottle to your backpack and a bright color print!

For adults:

• To the gym. A sports water bottle at a fitness workout is an indispensable thing in every way. When choosing, pay attention to the material from which the bottle is made, as well as the volume of water needed for good health. About how not to go wrong in choosing the material for the bottles, we’ll talk next.

• For training outside the gym. For example, a sports water bottle for cyclists should have a comfortable shape. General advice to those who choose a sports bottle for working out outside the gym – look for impact resistant material. In addition, the sports cap and neck should be such that you can comfortably drink on the run or without getting off the bike.

2.Material

This is one of the most important parameters for choosing a sports bottle, because it determines the safety for health, durability, strength and weight of the future accessory. Consider the main advantages and disadvantages of individual sports bottle materials:

• 
  QUALITY PLASTIC
  . On the plus side can clearly be attributed a small weight, low cost and all kinds of design options. Also, because plastic bottles are very often transparent, you can observe the level of water in the container. The disadvantages include low strength and the tendency of the material to scratches. Therefore, plastic bottles are ideal for the gym, but for cycling is still better to choose a more durable material.

• ALUMINIUM. Unlike steel and even glass water bottles, aluminum is very light and quite durable. The bottles have a concise and stylish design. Minus of these containers is that they are not always suitable for sour liquids (ask about this characteristic separately). The disadvantages are also the lack of durability, because the soft aluminum is easily scratched, and if dropped, the bottles can leave impressive dents.

• GLASS. Glass bottles are the most environmentally friendly, hold the temperature of liquids well and, thanks to the laconic design with transparent inserts, you can observe the amount of liquid in them. Glass sports bottles are also suitable for sour liquids. Cons: fragile, weighs more than plastic and aluminum.

• STEEL. The single pluses: durability and strength, they almost do not corrode and do not oxidize during use. But there are disadvantages, too. Steel sports bottles are heavier than bottles made of other materials, quite expensive, and often have a small selection of designs. Buy a sports water bottle at Sportsterritory online store

3. Bottle design, cap and neck

Universal advice is to focus on individual needs and comfort. Choose a container of such a volume that you really have enough for your workout. Such a shape that you will be comfortable holdingand a design that meets your needs.

For example,
lid and neck
should also be suitable for drinking comfortably during exercise. The lid can be screwed on, providing a secure hold against leakage (suitable for hiking or gym), or it can work on the principle of a cork, then you will be more convenient and easier to open and drink during training (suitable for running and cycling).

4.Additional properties

Some manufacturers equip sports bottles with additional conveniences:

• Bottles with a recess for the fingers, which can be made of both plastic and other material. Such bottles are more convenient to hold, they are well fixed in the palm of your hand.

• Special spill-proof neckprevents you from spilling liquids during use. This same feature is quite popular in children’s sports bottles.

• Some containers are made with a special container inside the bottle itself, for example, for pills or vitaminsthat athletes sometimes add to water.

• Manufacturers have gone even further, equipping sports bottles with additional compartments in which you can put a locker key or small documents.

And so, a sports water bottle is an essential, high-quality, practical and hygienic accessory for anyone who monitors their drinking regimen both during training and in everyday life.
