New Wave Enviro Stainless Steel Water Bottles

New Wave Enviro (NWE) are great for those who would like a safe alternative to plastic water bottles, but don’t want to spend a lot of money. They don’t offer a lot of features but they get the job done at an affordable price. Their bottles come in 4 sizes: 12oz, .6-liter (20oz), 1-liter (33.8oz) and 40oz. NWE offer a sports top and stainless steel loop top. They have a wide mouth (1.75”) which makes it easy to add ice cubes and clean (except .6-liter), but as a result are easier to spill. I recommend purchasing the sports top to prevent spilling, but keep in mind that the sports top leaks if the bottle is not kept upright. The 12oz and .6-liter will fit in a bike water bottle cage and car cup holder, but the 1-liter and 40oz will not. A common complaint is that the stainless steel loop cap must be purchased separately which costs about $5. They are sold very reasonably between $7-$18.
