There’s so much to like with this stainless steel bottle from Red Original. Let’s just start with its impressive look and feel – definitely leagues ahead of anything plastic that I’ve owned in the past or present. It looks weapon grade – leaving you in no doubt that it can perform the job asked.

Red Original Insulated Drinks Bottle

Make no mistake, this is a serious piece of kit on what is now a serious problem on our waterways: plastic pollution. It is expensive but that’s your commitment to the cause and nobody throws away a bottle costing £25.

In the winter you’ll use it for tea and coffee, which it will keep hot for an impressive 12 hours, more than enough for all paddlers with the possible exception of the Sian Sykes and Cal Majors of this world. In the summer it performs the reverse result by keeping cold beverages, really cold for up to 24 hours – try doing that with plastic!

Take a look at the tech specs below to see how it performs this and you’ll soon realise that a lot of thought has gone into making this an invaluable part of your paddling kit.

Other notes of mention include the rubberised sports cap for drinking on the move, the ability to attach with a carabiner to anywhere you line and the large size of 750ml, which is ideal for a couple of hours on the water. All your problems solved.

Tech specs

  • Insulated double walled construction: the double wall construction creates a vacuum between the outside environment and inside liquid helping to keep cold drinks cold for 24 hours and hot drinks hot for 12 hours with no external condensation.
  • Keep warm with hot drinks on the go: the canteen cap enables you to take your favourite hot drink or soup on every adventure.
  • Single-handed drinking: sports cap attachment enables easy drinking whilst on the go.
  • Easily attachable: attach your bottle to your board, deck bag or cool bag with a carabiner so it wont get lost when on the water.
  • Comfortable rubberised mouth piece (sports cap): easy to use and prevents any leakage.
  • Large 750ml/25oz capacity: big enough to carry three cups of coffee or a whole bottle of wine!
