If your trip is longer than a few days, pack a sponge and a small container of washing-up liquid (if travelling carry-on only, make sure it’s less than 100ml). If you want a water filter bottle that's a little bit shorter then take a look at the Active 60 cl / 600 ml which will fit neatly into the bottle cage on your mountain or road bike. If however you purchase a product that does not meet your expectations, then we will refund your purchase cost at any time within 3 months if you are unhappy with it. The best way to keep track is to pop a diary note on a calendar when you started filtering water using the Water-to-Go bottle so you have a rough idea when you need to change. It’s a huge plus if you’re travelling to places notorious for unsafe drinking water or venturing into the wilderness on a camping trip.

I’ve even used it with tap water from airport bathrooms when there were no designated water refill stations (a real gripe of mine! Note: If you’ve ever taken a water filter bottle on a plane, you may have noticed that the air pressure causes the water to dribble out of the top when you take the cap off. Not only are BPA-free water bottles like this one better for the environment, but they are also much better for your body. Activated Carbon our filters use activated carbon but instead of using adhesives to glue the carbon particles together, (which vastly reduces the carbon’s efficiency) it is contained within the membrane, helping to reduce contaminants whilst eliminating bad tastes and odours. Hand washing recommended to protect printing but dishwasher safe on the top rack and remove straw from lid first.Previously I had a "Travel Tap" which was brilliant but the filter eventually gave up the ghost and no longer worked. I haven’t managed to get into the external pocket of my bag, but it can fit on a bike, and you can easily stuff it into a daypack when you’re out and about. One of the things that interested me, to begin with, was the filtering concept of the Water-to-Go bottle and how it would save me so much weight in my backpack. Therefore, I’m happy to recommend this bottle, should you want to treat yourself to a new bit of hiking kit!

Other options are to look at the land around you, streams tend to form gullies down mountainsides so they are easy to spot when they are coming up on the trail. Great gift idea for keeping your loved ones cool and hydrated, and with no plastic taste, made with BPA free plastic make sure whatever drink you have tasted is fresh.

The Water-to-Go bottle filters all of these out of any freshwater source no matter where in the world you use it, guaranteeing safe drinking water. Water-to-Go’s 75cl bottle comes out on top for me for several reasons: it’s cheaper, has a better-designed lid to protect the mouthpiece and doesn’t leak. It's an inspiration in a bottle, featuring motivational messages and hourly markers to help you easily track your water intake. Ideal for those New Year resolutions focused on health and well-being, this bottle is eco-friendly and completely leak-proof, making it perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and sports lovers. However, I’ve found this with every water filter bottle I’ve used, so it’s not just specific to Water-to-Go.

On my hike across Britain, I was very fortunate, the water sources were plentiful throughout the entire trail, with the exception of one place. Note: Once their time is up, Water-to-Go’s filters will stop working, and you won’t be able to drink any water from the bottle. A handy water filter , could only give it four stars as good for drinking from but no good to fill bladder or kettle as the bottle is so hard you would be there all day trying to squeeze out the water .As you embrace the New Year, this bottle, crafted from Tritan plastic, offers a durable, BPA-free solution to your hydration needs. Its convenient design, including a flip-up straw and wide neck, ensures filling and cleaning are a breeze. I bought the bottle myself, and I’ve been using it for a while now, so all opinions in this Water-to-Go review are honest and 100% my own.
