Iโve been using a reusable 36oz/1L plastic โflip lidโ bottle from Bezosโs market - this is my third one (sadly replaced almost on a yearly basis) since I keep accidentally breaking the lids.
It practically comes everywhere with me - walking, cycling, in my backpack. This lid is starting to crack at the hinge and the latch though, but donโt really want to replace it with the same thing again.
How long have you had you had your current bottle, and how are you finding it so far?
I will lose every water bottle that I brought out of my home, so I just reuse the bottles of bottled waters. If I dont lose it, I will replace it every 3-5 months depends on the usage and weather.
I have couple durable, metal, and dishwasher-safe stanley and hydroflask bottles at home. They should be couple years old, but I am not keeping count.
I got an aluminium one off Ali Express with a metal unscrewable lid, because my previous metal water bottle which was meant to last me forever, had a plastic lid which broke. Iโve had it for many years now, and itโs fine. A bit dented.
I recently bought a Sistema 500ml vacuum flask for like, $10 on a ridiculous special. It has plastic parts in the lid, but seems to be of decent strength. I really like it, I fill it with boiling water and then top up my tea for a few hours with hot water.
Iโve got a ~20oz Yeti vacuum stainless bottle with the small-opening screw-on top. I think Iโve used it for, maybe 5 years at this point? A long while. Itโs the right size for casual carrying at work and school, but I use a bigger non-insulated body when doing physical labor.
That poor yeti gets bounced off the back of ATVโs, thrown in toolboxes, left baking in the car, all sorts of shit. Itโs dinged up and doesnโt sit flat on a table but still doesnโt leak so it keeps going.

Had it for little over a year now. Use it every day. The paint is chipping here and there, but functionally it is as good as new.
Just reminded me to replace the one I have. Bought it at Decathlon, one of their store brands. It has a cap with an opening mechanism which didnโt last for very long - like 4 months of daily use.
