Hydro Flask Water Bottle Alternatives
We all know the name Hydro Flask and they make a lot of great stainless steel water bottles. That being said, you are here looking for an alternative to Hydro Flask insulated water bottles or a Hydro Flask knock off, and I’ve done the research to find you some.
The best-selling Hydro Flask bottle is their 32oz wide-mouth bottle and I’ve tracked down seven options that you may want to consider. For the purposes of this list of Hydro Flask water bottle alternatives, I’ve narrowed the selection down to bottles that were ~32oz in volume, stainless steel, and double-walled/insulated.
Do keep in mind that as you are shopping for water bottles, these are big bottles and if you are wanting a stainless steel water bottle for the car or to shove in a pack pocket, you will likely want a 20oz or 24oz slim bottle. These 32oz bottles are perfect for staying hydrated all day at work, or quenching your thirst during a hard workout at the gym!
Glass Water Bottles with Bamboo Lids
Top 3 HydroFlask Alternatives
Klean Kanteen

Klean Kanteen 32oz Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle
No burying the lead here, my top pick for a Hydro Flask 32oz bottle alternative is the Klean Kanteen 32oz water bottle. In addition to being cheaper than the Hydro Flask, Klean Kanteen is steadily working to increase the amount of recycled material in their water bottles, while decreasing their impact on the environment. Company values matter, and a mission to reduce plastic while protecting the environment works for me.
Pros:
- Recycled Materail
- Claims 66 hours of iced cold retention
- Wide selection of bottles
- Big selection of caps
Cons:
- Extra lids cost more
- On par with Hydroflask on price
CamelBak Chute Mag Water Bottle

CamelBak Chute Mag Water Bottle, Insulated Stainless Steel
Most people know CamelBak for their hydration bladders and not their line of stainless steel water bottles. They do make these as well though.
You are paying for the name though and the CamelBak rivals the Hydro Flask in price. People do love this water bottle though and surprisingly enough, one feature people rave about is the magnetic holder for the flip-top lid.
Pros:
- Loop for carrying
- Magnetic lid holder
- Keeps drinks cold all day
Cons:
- Price
Purist Founder Water Bottle

Purist Founder Vacuum Water Bottle with Element Top – 32 fl. oz
If you are looking for a little different look to your water bottle, you might consider the Purist Founder stainless steel water bottle. While is hard to really stand out in water bottle design, they have managed to change up the lines a bit to have what to me, looks like a more European aesthetic to their bottles.
Pros:
- Looks
Cons:
- Price
- Limited lid choices
Explore Nomad Water Bottle

Explore Nomad Insulated Water Bottle – 40 Oz Stainless Steel Water Bottle
If you are looking for a no-frills, economy-insulated stainless steel water bottle that looks like a knock off of a Hydro Flask, the Explore Nomad is your choice.
Priced at half of a comparable Hydro Flask flip-top bottle, the Explore Nomad claims to be dishwasher safe and to keep drinks cold for 24hours.
Pros:
- Dishwasher safe
- 24 hour cold retention
- Price
Cons:
- Limited lid selection
Thermoflask Stainless Steel Water Bottle

Thermoflask Double Stainless Steel Insulated Water Bottle, 32 oz
Another solid contender as an alternative to a Hydro Flask is the 32oz ThermoFlask. Lots of the same stats as the others, with a claim of 24 hours of cold holding time, but with the added benefit of coming with chug and sipping lid.
The only real complaint I’ve found about this water bottle is that it is noisy to drink from. The horrors!
Pros:
- Comes with two lids
- Carrying handle
Cons:
- Noisy
- Harder to find replacement parts
Revist Insulated Water Bottle

Revist 32oz Stainless Steel Insulated Water Bottle
If you want the whole bundle in one water bottle order, the Revist is your choice. They throw in all the goodies in this bundle. In addition to the 32oz stainless steel insulated water bottle, you get 3 different types of lids, 2 straws, 1 straw cleaner, and 1 silicone boot.
Pros:
- 24 hour cold holding time
- Lots of accessories
Cons:
- None
BottleBaboon Insulated Water Bottle
BottleBaboon Stainless 32 Oz Insulated Steel WaterWater Bottle
Winner for the best name is the BottleBaboon stainless steel water bottle.
While overall highly rated, about the only complaint people have with Hydro Flask knock off is that the lids aren’t super durable and can sometimes leak. Considering that it comes in at under $20 though, it is hard to beat.
Pros:
- Comes with 3 lids
- 24 hours cold holding time
Cons:
- Lids aren’t super durable
