Stainless steel drinking bottles are a basic piece of equipment for hiking, mountaineering and all outdoor activities. They give you maximum independence and freedom - after all, you never know if and when you will be able to stop for refreshments along the way.
Stainless steel bottles from Alpin Loacker are the ideal companion and give you more lightness for your trail. Thanks to their low weight, they fit into any hiking rucksack.
We offer a range of different models: whether insulated, large or small, our stainless steel bottles are lightweight, food-safe, tasteless and 100% non-toxic.
What should I look out for when buying a stainless steel drinking bottle?
To ensure that you can enjoy your bottle for a long time, you should pay attention to the following factors when buying it:
1. material quality
Stainless steel bottles are a dime a dozen. But only a good water bottle will meet your needs and accompany you reliably on your tours. High-quality bottles made from robust ECO stainless steel are not only extremely light and unbreakable, but also food-safe and contain no toxic substances.
This means you can enjoy your drinks with a clear conscience and without a bland aftertaste. The long service life also speaks for the models made of high-quality metal.
2. weight
You can recognize a good stainless steel water bottle by its low weight. This is extremely important on your tours, as every gram counts. Our bottles made from robust 304 stainless steel guarantee you maximum durability with minimum weight.
- Our stainless steel drinking bottle weighs just 190 g.
- At 397 g, the thermos flasks are slightly heavier, but are also insulated, making them ideal for cold drinks in summer and hot drinks in winter.
3. insulation
There are different models of stainless steel drinking bottles: with and without additional insulation. So-called insulated bottles are also known as thermo bottles. They are intended for use all year round.
- In summer, they keep your drink cool for up to 24 hours.
- In winter, a stainless steel vacuum flask guarantees you warm drinks for 12 hours.
If you value drinks at the right temperature at all times, our thermo bottles are just right for you. However, if the weight of your bottle is more important to you, we recommend using our "normal" stainless steel drinking bottles, as these are lighter than their double-walled counterparts.
4. leakage safety
Reliability is irreplaceable on a tour. This also applies to a good stainless steel drinking bottle. That's why absolute leakproofness is the top priority. Our drinking bottles are equipped with an additional silicone sealing ring and a sustainable lid made of bamboo wood. Everything is guaranteed to stay in place.
5. size and capacity
In our range you will find stainless steel bottles in different sizes: 500 ml, 750 ml and 1 liter. The smallest thermos flask has a capacity of 350 ml and is particularly suitable for children thanks to the integrated drinking straw. So you have the right drink for every thirst on every tour.
6. design
The design of a good stainless steel drinking bottle must be one thing above all: timeless, practical and yet elegant. All these components are combined in our models.
What are the advantages of stainless steel drinking bottles for outdoor use?
Durability and break resistance are extremely important, especially in the outdoor sector. After all, things sometimes get hot on the go. This is where conventional bottles can reach their limits.
- Plastic and glass models can break easily and do not guarantee well-tempered drinks.
- The sustainability and health aspects of plastic bottles are also rather questionable.
Stainless steel drinking bottles are guaranteed to be free from BPA, plasticizers and other harmful substances.
At this point, we would like to recommend our stainless steel lunch box, so you not only have your drink safely packed, but can also take something to eat with you.
Is a stainless steel drinking bottle suitable for carbonated drinks?
You should not use a stainless steel drinking bottle for carbonated drinks, as the seal cannot withstand the pressure in the long term. As a result, the bottle loses its leak-proof properties over time.
What is the best way to clean stainless steel drinking bottles?
Our stainless steel bottles are dishwasher-safe.
- You can easily clean them in the dishwasher.
- Alternatively, you can easily clean your bottle under running water with a bottle brush thanks to the large opening
- or rinse with hot water.
The closure made of sustainable bamboo wood should only be cleaned by hand.
Can the drinking bottles be used for hot and cold drinks?
A thermos flask is double-walled insulated and is suitable for hot and cold drinks. It can keep your drink cool for up to 24 hours and warm for 12 hours. This is ideal for long hikes in summer and winter.
Are stainless steel drinking bottles tasteless?
As we use 100% high-quality ECO stainless steel for our stainless steel drinking bottles, every bottle from Alpin Loacker is food-safe and therefore absolutely tasteless.
