Is it hot enough out there for ya yet? Same here. It’s the middle of summer, and with temperatures languishing in the 90s and beyond, it’s more important than ever to stay well hydrated. But, of course, no one wants to be sipping from a bottle of lukewarm water when it already feels like you’re hanging out in an oven. That’s where investing in one of the best insulated water bottles come in.

These insulated water bottles are specially designed to keep your drinks ice cold for hours on end. And, because they’re insulated, you can leave them out in direct sunlight or sitting in your steamy car with virtually no impact on the precious liquid inside—it’ll still be cool enough to drink when you take a sip.

Way back when, there were only a few brands that offered insulated water bottles designed to withstand the elements and keep your drink nice and refreshing. Now, you’ve got your pick of a huge range of sizes, temperature-retaining qualities, and finishes. To keep you from getting overwhelmed, we narrowed down the field for you. These are the best-insulated water bottles out there, so you can stay cool this summer and beyond.
