We have tested and reviewed many water bottles over the years; luckily Muddy Madam loves her water.

This one litre water bottle from Primus is made of strong, long-lasting 18/8 stainless steel. It's got a slightly textured powder coating on the outside that gives it a nice grip, even if your hands are wet.

The best part is, this stainless steel is BPA-free and won't absorb any weird smells or tastes.

The drinking cap is designed with an unusual internal threading, which means it stays nice and clean, and dirt won't get lodged under the cap where you actually drink from, and the threading is compatible with many water filter systems too, so you can easily use it with your favorite filters.

The drinking spout is the perfect size so you are very unlikely to spill drink down yourself if you get a bit over-zealous whilst taking a swig.

You'll love the wide opening of this bottle, it makes refilling and cleaning super easy. No more struggling to fit a brush inside.

To top it off, there's a handy lid strap to keep the cap from getting lost, and it's attached in a way that it is really easy to unscrew the cap, and you can even attach the bottle to your backpack with it.

At only 240g this is quite lightweight for a bottle that holds one litre, but as you may have guessed by that weight it is only a single wall construction, so if you prefer to keep your drinks cold or hot this is not the bottle for you.

That said, if you just want a water bottle that holds a good amount of liquid, that is practical, well made, and easy to clean, then you can't go wrong with this Primus Trailbottle, it's a great choice.
