Ocean Bottle Original 17 oz Stainless Steel Water Bottle - Durable

Our review of the Ocean Bottle Original 17 oz finds it best suited for someone who wants a well-built, sustainable everyday thermos with practical features and a clear environmental mission. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of sturdy, recycled stainless steel construction and a dual-opening lid that makes drinking, pouring and cleaning straightforward. This bottle pairs everyday usefulness with the brand's promise to fund collection of ocean-bound plastics, so buyers get both functionality and a tangible eco impact.

Key Features

• Double-walled insulation: Keeps cold drinks cold and hot drinks hot while preventing exterior condensation during typical use.
• Dual opening design: The double lid provides a drinking spout and a wider fill/pour opening for soups, smoothies or ice cubes.
• 180 twist anti-leak lids: A tight, twist closure reduces spills for commuting or travel when closed correctly.
• Recycled materials: Constructed from about 90% recycled stainless steel plus BPA-free plastic and ocean-bound plastics for a lower environmental footprint.
• Dishwasher safe: Rated safe up to 60C so it cleans easily in a dishwasher, with a quick hot-water trick to remove any marks.
• Purpose-driven purchase: Each purchase funds the collection of ocean-bound plastic bottles before they reach the sea, linking the product to a clear conservation outcome.

Who It's For

The Ocean Bottle Original 17 oz is a good fit for commuters, students and anyone who wants a mid-size insulated bottle that is easy to clean and convenient to drink from. Its dual opening is especially handy for people who switch between beverages like coffee, smoothies and soup and who appreciate a container that will accept ice cubes or thicker liquids.

People who regularly need very long hot retention, or who want a very large-capacity bottle for long outdoor excursions, should look elsewhere; some customers report mixed hot retention and find the 17 oz capacity too small for extended hikes or long work shifts.
