Rub the pain away: The 8 Best Running Jackets for Surviving Winter
I was drawn to the slick matte black finish and light blue bird graphics of the Oiselle wide mouth bottle. Available in three vibrant color ways—black with light blue birds, white with red, and blue with white—this tall, perfectly cylindrical bottle was made for thirsty people with an eye for design.
Lightweight
This lightweight stainless steel bottle can go with you everywhere throughout your day. Running late but want a spill-proof way of transporting your freshly brewed dark roast? As long as the lid stays on in between sips, your coffee remains piping hot for hours. Need a post-run refresher? Fill it up with water and drop in a few ice cubes before you leave the house; you won’t have to worry about leaving the bottle in the sun-soaked car on your long runs. Liquids, cool or hot, will keep their temperature. Your hand will not freeze or get scorched either, and the bottle doesn’t gather up condensation—the only one sweating is you.
Easy to Grab and Go
I like to bring this bottle with me in the car or to throw in a bag when commuting. It’s easy to grab using the wide handle, and the screw top lid prevents drips or spills. It also has a damage-proof exterior.
A minor complaint is that the lid drips when removed, and the bottle’s not easy to wash as the opening is a bit too narrow for a hand. You’ll also want to be careful going over speed bumps—unless you want to make a splash.
