PLASTIC water bottle recs?

[pinkly]

My girls have been taking metal insulated bottles to school for years but now the students are being told they are too loud.

Does anyone have a plastic bottle they would recommend that keeps ice water cold for hours and fits in a water bottle sleeve on a backpack?

Thanks!

Camelback if they need a straw, other Nalgene is still good.

Edit: There's also LifeFactory which is protected glass. I don't know if those are great for kids, but they make baby and kid sizes.

Would a stainless steel water bottle with a plastic bottom work? The Funtainer is like that and not loud.

This seems unnecessarily picky to me.

If this works, they make rubber bottom sleeve things for Hydroflask. They make them a lot quieter.

I like the Polar water bottles. The largest size is too big for school, IMO, but they have a medium size and a small one. I ordered a couple of the medium (20 oz., I think?) off Amazon for my kids for school water bottles.

I have a couple of these Nathan Fire and Ice bottles: www.amazon.com/Nathan-Fire-Bottle-Dark-Slate/dp/B01BTXK8H6/

They won't keep water cold forever, especially if they're in direct sunlight, but they can last at least three or four hours. I fill them at night before bed and store them in the fridge overnight with the lid off, then add ice cubes right before I leave the house.

I’m guessing the problem might be the sound of the ice on the inside. So the plastic sleeves/bottoms wouldn’t help.

Thanks for the recs. I’ll look into these.

I like my Tervis bottles.

Polar water bottle! I think they are definitely the best of the plastic options. They aren’t going to keep ice as long as a stainless steel water bottle would but I do think they do a much better job than other plastic containers (most of which have no real insulation).

I have one (medium size I think) and my boys use the small kid size.

I was going to suggest polar too. Unfortunately my boys lost 3 of them during summer camp this year, including one I use for biking. Gotta buy a few more.

Of all of them, Polar is probably your best bet but I used them and my stuff became warm after 3 hours or so, in an air-conditioned setting. The stainless steel has really spoiled me and my kids. Mine also sweat terribly, which I didn't love. But maybe I got a bad batch. Luckily, Xavier lost all 3 and I never replaced them, lol.

Camelbak or Contigo (I can get those for cheap and you get 3 or something like that).

ETA: I see you're looking for something to keep liquid cold so feel free to ignore my comments.

Camelbak Podium Chill 21oz - keeps things cold, fits in a water bottle holder, and is no spill.

My children use the 'Avex FreeFlow Autoseal Water Bottle'. They do not care about the temp of the water so I am not sure how long the water remains cold. If cold water is a must fill the bottle half-way and freeze overnight. In the morning fill the bottle up and the water will stay cold all day.

We have the camelback squeeze ones that are lightly insulated.

This reminds me of the time back I the 90's our tyrant school principal tried to band wind suits for being too loud.

Ridiculous!

I love the regular Tupperware bottles believe it or not...so easy to drink out of. I've gotten several people hooked on them. I think you can order without knowing a consultant, definitely wait for a sale

I like the Contigo plastic water bottle and the loop on the top now has a clip so you can hook it onto a strap. We have several of them.
