Glass is much better because it has no taste. I would expect people to care about that if they use it all day. How often do you break a glass bottle? That’s the thickness of glass you need.
My grandfather has a glass Gatorade bottle he still reuses. That’s the kind of shit I expect from today’s hipsters. Do they even retro bro?
I broke 3 glass water bottles (they even had the little rubber sleeves to try and protect them) before I gave up and settled for stainless steel. Twice I broke them in the gym. Really awkward trying to clean up glass and water without causing a scene.
You are buying crappy water bottles. How often do you break a beer bottle? Those are much thicker than crappy water bottles. Acqua Panna bottles are even thicker.
I’ve never broken either one unless it fell on cement. Use cheaper glass bottles and stop dropping your bottles on cement.
I don’t break beer bottles because I don’t drink beer, especially not at the gym? But last I checked I see broken beer bottles all the time.
I’m talking about refillable 24oz glass water bottles with slightly wider mouths for drinking quickly while working out and easier cleaning.
And I’m not dropping them on cement. :( That’s wonderful for you that you don’t drop things, but some people do so those of us buy more durable products. I’m not sure why you’re so aggressive about it.
I’d honestly love a glass bottle if it doesn’t break. The only downsides are weight and fragility. To be fair I’ve never tried. But I’ve smacked my water bottles against doorframes while in my backpack, dropped them on rocks while hiking, etc. It’s gonna get knocked around. I’d be concerned about getting soaked with water and shards of glass everywhere.
It shouldn’t be that hard to figure out if there’s lead in a metal bottle I think, but I see your point for sure. It can be hard to find non-terrible stuff.
I’m a big fan of the single wall stuff. It works pretty well for water carrying at least. For hot and cold stuff you could always add a cozy. Certainly not as effective but no lead!
On the other hand, I dream of the day when I make my own wax lined leather bottle like the days of old
I mean, plastic is not the only thing you can make a bottle out of. Metal or glass could be appropriate options, perhaps.
Glass breaks, metal has the aforementioned lead problems. I shall create a water pouch from the bladder of a steer.
