S'well Stainless Steel Water Bottle 17oz - Hillside Lavender

Our review of the S'well 17oz Hillside Lavender bottle finds it best suited to someone who wants reliable all-day temperature control in a stylish, reusable container. The single biggest reason to buy is the triple-layered Therma-Swell insulation, which legitimately keeps drinks cold for up to 36 hours and hot for up to 18, making it a practical choice for commuters, gym-goers and anyone who dislikes refilling. It is crafted from 18/8 food-grade stainless steel and offers a condensation-free exterior, so it stays dry in hand or bag while delivering long-term performance.

Key Features

• Therma-Swell Technology: Triple-layered vacuum insulation keeps beverages cold for 36 hours and hot for 18, reducing the need for reheating or frequent ice refills.
• 18/8 Stainless Steel: Food-grade construction provides durability and a clean taste without BPA or BPS, suitable for daily hydration.
• Condensation-Free Exterior: The bottle does not sweat, so it stays dry in your bag and comfortable to hold even with icy drinks.
• Wide Mouth Opening: The opening fits most ice cubes and makes refilling and cleaning easier, enhancing everyday usability.
• Designed for On-the-Go: The 17oz size fits most standard cup holders and balances capacity with portability for commuting, workouts, and travel.

Who It's For

The S'well 17oz Hillside Lavender is ideal for people who want a visually appealing, durable bottle that excels at temperature retention for long days away from home. It suits commuters, cyclists who stop for coffee, students, and those who prefer a compact bottle that still holds a full serving plus ice.

Those who need an ultra-rugged bottle for rough outdoor use or who are highly concerned about surface scratches should consider alternatives: some customers report the finish scratches relatively easily, which can affect cosmetic appearance over time even though performance remains strong.
