I often go on long walks in the countryside, camping adventures or cycling trips. Having decent kit is important and I have owned my DNC Polar Gear Aluminium Drinks Bottle for a couple of years now. Keeping hydrated is very important, especially when undertaking physical exercise and the best way to do this is to have a drink to hand. Instead of buying bottled water or using disposable drinks containers I find it better to carry this drinks bottle as it is gentler on the environment and also convenient.
The bottle has a tough aluminium shell which protects it from the rigours of trips outside. It can be left in a bag and forgotten about without the worry of the bottle bursting. The bottle also gives you the added benefit that when it is warm (not often in the UK!) you can keep your drinks chilled in it.
The bottles come in a variety of colours but they all have black plastic caps. The cap of the bottle is a flip lid and allows you to access the drink quickly and easily. The lid is very secure when it is on and I can trust that the bottle won't leak or the lid pop open when it is in my bag. This is one thing that sports-cap bottles don't often offer. I think for the price it is excellent quality. One consideration is that over prolonged use the bottle may gain a few war scars. As the main body of the bottle is aluminium it can easily dent as this is a soft metal. Once dented the bottle is still useful, but aesthetically it can soon begin to look tired.
Available from Amazon for around £5-£6 I am more than happy to recommend this product. For the convenient and easy storage of drinks I would suggest the DNC Polar Gear Aluminium Drinks Bottle to be a great option. The well constructed and designed drinks bottle is fit for purpose when it comes to outdoor use in all terrain.
