Ello Pure Glass Water Bottle with Silicone Sleeve

Product Information

BOTTOM LINE: If you know yourself to be… let’s say “accident prone,” you may have thought glass water bottles weren’t for you.

Another durable and easy-to-use glass bottle, this one from Lifefactory is a nice choice whether you're working up a sweat or just getting in some additional activity on an under desk bike. You can also take your bottle with you anywhere and drink while at work, running errands, and traveling. Glass water bottles are a great option for getting hydrated if you prefer cleaner-tasting water and want to avoid plastic and BPAs. A sturdy silicone cover adds both style and durability, while motivational markers on the side help you keep track of your hydration goals throughout the day.

The bottle is equipped with a protective silicone sleeve that ensures a good grip and an elegant look. There seemed to be a lot of resistance when using the straw, no matter how much we tried to loosen the lid. The wide mouth is also easy to drink from, so you can stay hydrated even if you only have a few seconds on the sidelines. If you use an adjustable standing desk at work, try refilling your water bottle every time you switch from sitting to standing.

The handy, lockable flip lid prevents leaks and can be opened with one hand for those times when you’re on the move and your arms are full. We recommend the Ello – Aura for the same drinking experience but want to carry more water throughout the day and still fit in standard cupholders. Sippers allow you to gulp more water, while straws are suitable for people who don’t like to lift their entire bottle each time they drink water. And a stainless steel insert in the lid ensures that no plastic touches your water - meaning you only taste water, not chemicals. If you love drinking iced cold water with a straw or sipping coffee from a glass, we recommend the Mukoko – Glass Tumbler for its versatility.

The borosilicate glass can handle extreme cold or hot temperatures, making this a great choice for everyday water drinking and morning commute coffee. Many of the bottles on our list (like CIVAGO's Glass Water Bottle and Takeya's Sure-Grip Glass Water Bottle) have straws. This glass bottle with an infuser is not only an easy way to enhance your water, but it also looks gorgeous sitting on your desk or sticking out of your gym bag.

After testing different glass bottles, we noticed how much smaller the Bkr bottle spout was compared to other models. More expensive bottles often have a higher capacity (meaning they can hold more water) and may come with additional components, like multiple lids or an infuser. We tested nine glass bottles and tumblers for several months to find the best-designed and easiest-to-use glass water bottle. Many of the bottles and tumblers we tested ranged from 16 to 25 ounces because this was the average size and wasn’t too heavy.Out of the lid options available, we prefer the active cap because the pour spout makes for a dribble-free drinking experience while you’re on the move. No chemical taste, good for the planet, good style, and more hydration… This bottle is a win all-around. The Tronco – Glass Tumbler features a silicone sleeve that covers 3/4ths of the glass body and is topped with a press-in bamboo lid.

Glass bottles can be heavy, but this one from Contigo weighs just over 10 ounces, making it one of the lightest bottles on our list. For each glass bottle, we tested each bottle for an entire week throughout our errands, events, driving, work, and gym time. Ello Cooper 22oz vacuum insulated stainless steel water bottle features an FDA food grade silicone straw infused with Guardian Technology which keeps the drink surface clean! But some users have found that the lid tends to leak, so make sure you tighten the cap all the way and be cautious when tossing it into your bag. But Kodrine's Glass Tumbler is our favorite for its sleek, modern design, which is surprisingly leakproof.Read our editorial process to learn more about how we fact-check and keep our content accurate, reliable, and trustworthy. The silicone sleeve covers most of the bottle for protection if it’s dropped, but leaves a fashionable peek of glass at the top. Unfortunately, when we first received the Kodrine tumbler, we noticed that the silicone sleeve didn’t lay flat against the glass body and bubbled out. We love it because: these glass bottles like right at home on your professional work desk or waiting for clients in the conference room. The bamboo lid not only adds another touch of style, but also adds to the overall sustainable design.
