WIN an Earthlust Stainless Steel Water Bottle
I have put it off for awhile but I am now ready to take the plunge and switch to metal water bottles for our family. When I started looking for new bottles it annoyed me that Sigg (and Klean Kanteen) seemed to be the only options. I wanted more choices so I searched online and found Earthlust stainless steel water bottles. At first I thought the name was silly sounding but I got past that when I looked closer at the bottles. These are quality bottles with BEAUTIFUL designs on them! I was very excited to be able to test a few out and here is what I found:
- They keep your water tasting great, even after its been in there awhile (no yucky chemical taste if you put your drink in the fridge the night before so its great for packing ahead of time).
- With stainless steel there is no worry like with plastic bottles (even the BPA free plastic ones could have something else bad in them).
- The bottle is easy and comfortable to drink from, its like drinking from a Snapple bottle but smooth because there are no screw top threads on the outside.
- All of the Earthlust designs are Earthy yet sophisticated. I just love the look of them, they’re much more fun than a solid color bottle! They aren’t girly though so John can take them to work without feeling weird.
- They come in three sizes to meet everyone’s needs! Depending on my plans I use the 13 or 20 ounce bottle and love them both.
- I like the clip on the lid, it doesn’t get in the way of opening/closing because its on a metal loop and not directly through the cap top. The clip is great for attaching to a tote bag or to clip to your car keys so you don’t forget your water (I use the clip both of these ways a lot).
- It doesn’t leak!!!! This is BIG for me, I have had bad experiences with Nalgene bottles that leaked and with the Earthlust bottle I can just throw it in my bag without fear of that happening.
- You can get it with a sports cap and that is great too because I wouldn’t use a screw cap for the kids to take to school. The sports top hasn’t leaked for me and its nice when you are on the go or for kids.
- These bottles are also priced very well in my opinion!
Earthlust compared to other metal water bottles:
- We also have one Sigg bottle for our 2 yr old and I am sorry I bought it. It was cute and pink and I thought it would be great but the Sigg neck is too narrow to fit the skinny ice cubes from our ice maker (they go in the Earthlust bottles perfectly) and I hate how the kids lid is on a hinge and gets in our daughter’s face when she drinks. I also think the Earthlust sports top is much nicer because it pulls up and down instead of twisting like the Sigg and that is more straight forward for a little kid. For an adult drinking without the top I also don’t like the Sigg as well, the opening of the Earthlust bottle seems much smoother to me with the rolled down edge.
- Our kids also each have a Klean Kanteen and I am very happy with them for the kids with the sports top but because the Klean Kanteen neck is much wider I don’t like drinking out of it as much for me with the top off and the sports top makes a sort of chirping sound (which the boys love about it) but I personally don’t want to chirp when I drink. The Klean Kanteen is also just plain metal and I really prefer the painted Earthlust designs!
- So to sum it up I like the Earthlust MUCH better than the Sigg because I NEED ice in my water and I don’t like the kid’s tops on the Sigg at all. With sports tops, I like the Earthlust and Klean Kanteen pretty equally for the kids use (I think the Klean Kanteen is slightly better for my kids because its sports top lid is a little easier for little kids). I prefer the Earthlust for my own use over the Klean Kanteen for aesthetic reasons and because I like the neck opening of the Earthlust best for drinking with the screw top lid.
I love the 2 designs (below) that I got and its hard to share them so I mainly use them for myself!

Great iitems!
I’d love to add the red 20oz bottle with the bird profile to our collection.
Thanks for reviewing the Earthlust bottles. We’ve got a small army of Siggs, but there are things about them that I don’t like, and you mentioned many of them in your own complaints. I’m always interested in finding new, safe bottles for the family.

I like the20 oz. light green one with the white design.
Very nice bottles!
I like the tree design. I hear you on the SIGG bottles. The flip cap really annoys me on mine, and the twisty thing never worked right, so water doesn’t come out much and when it does it’s just a trickle. I end up just unscrewing the lid anyway.
Hello, Thanks for a wonderful giveaway prize drawing. I really want to win one of the lovely reusable bottles. I like the “Earthlust Stainless Bottle 20 oz. – Poppies!”

Thank you for this review. I need to get stainless steel water bottles. So far I only have a stainless steel commuter cup that I was lucky to get as “swag” at a conference. I like the silver 1L size with the crow on it.
I ADORE that red 20 oz. with the cream colored bird.
These are absolutely lovely. Very hard to find a bottle like this that is more than just plain functional! Thanks for the very informative review.
I love the white 20 oz one with the blue and green flowers. So pretty – and useful too!

I have this poppies one by Earthlust and just love it:

Good point about the wider mouth, it’s super easy to clean, and I always use ice cubes in my water, although the bottle itself keeps the drinks much colder for a longer period than my plastic bottle ever did.
I like the 20oz with the poppies on it. I’d love a new Stainless Steel bottle. I have a KK and would really like to be able to rotate my bottles and not use the same one everyday.
I love the 13 oz. Growing Tree bottle. Thanks!!
like the liter bottle – silver with the bird on it!!
20 oz green with ivory tree and the sports top would be helpful!
silver with the tree the or the bird very pretty
Love the 20 oz. sagy green with the white design, thanks!
I like the silver with the black tree (20oz).
These are great! I don’t like our Sigg bottles either. I’m ashamed to say because I feel like everyone loves them but me!

I like the Growing Tree design in the 13 oz size for my daughter, with the sport cap. I’ve been looking for a good SS water bottle. I too have a Sigg and found it to be clumsy to use. Especially for my 3 yr old.
Thanks!!
