Go Series — Insulated Stainless Steel Water Filter Bottle for Travel and Everyday Use Removes Bacteria, Parasites and Microplastics, Improves Taste, 24oz Nordic Noir

I purchased this bottle for when I need to fly on planes to areas where water in glass bottles isn't readily accessible (I don't drink from plastic bottles). I'm very grateful to have it. It's quite easy to drink from (with minimal effort), the water tastes great, and the parts are very easy to clean (you can even put some of them in the dishwasher). It's also easy to carry and fairly lightweight. The amount of impurities, microplastics, etc. the filter eliminates is impressive. I definitely recommend this bottle. We'll be purchasing a second one.

I got this as a replacement for my Brita filtered water bottle. Previously, I settled on the Brita due to Lifestraw not having an insulated bottle yet. My review would be mostly comparing these two. I like the design of the bottle. Both are nearly the same size, 34oz vs. 32oz (Brita). They are basically the same weight when full of water. I would expect it to be similar to other bottles tbh. The handle design though makes it feel like it's a bit lighter than the Brita though. Since you can use way more fingers to hold it comfortably. I prefer this bottles straw design. And it stays a lot cleaner and way easier to clean them the Brita. On the Brita the straw extends more, but cleaning it was a chore. Like I resorted to basically trying to clean it with a chopstick. Although, the Brita's advantage is opening the cap to get to the straw. Brita uses a push button with a spring hinge for the cap so it's super easy to open and close. The taste is better, most likely due to the 2 stage filter vs. 1 for the Brita (carbon only). The carbon filter is a lot smaller than the Brita though. Like 1/3 the size, so you'll end up replacing that a little more frequently. As far as the effort to suck the water. It's actually easier than with the Brita. It is hard in the beginning as usual, but like after 5 or so refills, it starts getting easier. It's like near effortless tbh compared to my Brita which barely got better. It wasn't hard on the Brita either, but it definitely takes more effort than the Lifestraw. All in all, this is a great water bottle. With Lifestraw famous filtration capabilities, you have more options on water source as well. I also bought the silicone bottom for the bottle which you can see in my picture. It's like a perfect match to the bottle color.

Pros: - Great color options - No added taste to the water; just a clean water sensation - Effective filtration of contaminants - Fits many cup holders - Feels Durable Cons: - Doesn’t fit all cup holders - On the heavier side Insights: I recently bought the 18oz bottle in the Aegean Sea color, and it has exceeded my expectations in several ways. I was looking for a stainless steel bottle, as I am trying to get away from plastics. The double wall design does a great job of keeping water cool. The color is vibrant and appealing, and the bottle effectively filters out contaminants, providing a clean water sensation with no added taste. The filtration system is impressive and gives me a level of confidence I don't get from other water bottles. The bottle is designed to fit many cup holders, but be aware that it doesn’t fit all, which can be inconvenient at times. It is also heavier than other water bottles, but this is expected due to its high-quality stainless steel construction and advanced filtration system. The added weight does not feel excessive and is a small trade-off for the benefits it offers. There is sometimes an issue with water kinda of bubbling up and out of the mouthpiece (presumably due to pressure differences), but they had a great tip in the instruction pamphlet that came with the bottle. It described the process of blowing air back into the mouthpiece when you are done drinking. That technique seems to work well for me, as I haven't had an issue since trying it. Overall, the LifeStraw Go Series is a durable, effective, and stylish water filter bottle that delivers clean, great-tasting water, making it a worthwhile investment for those who prioritize water quality and sustainability.

I love a good filtered water bottle. The brand I had before, I had multiple of and the lid kept breaking on each one I purchased so I finally decided to buy a LifeStraw water bottle. It’s pricey, a little heavy since it’s stainless steel, and the straw is a little hard to suck out of at first until you use it for a few days. But so far I love this water bottle, it seems sturdy and like it will last. The filtered water tastes good and doesn’t taste like stainless steel like some water bottles and it never leaks while the lid is on so if it’s laying in the seat of my car I don’t have to worry about a huge mess! I love the size because I don’t have to refill it as often.

Good, large size, not very travel size easy though, large filter

Let's start with the reasons why you shouldn't: It's too heavy for serious hiking It's filter works great for filtering out all of the stuff you shouldn't have in clean drinking water And it doesn't filter out any of the things tap water drinkers are concerned about. So who is this filter bottle for? At first glance it just seems like another gimmicky product, but let's dive deeper. There's a saying in photography that the best camera is the one you have with you. The same is true of water bottles. Emergencies can strike at any time, and our ability to go without water is limited to 3ish days. Even getting mildly dehydrated can slow reaction time and decision making. This bottle is great for people who want to guarantee that they can safely drink any water they can find. While it doesn't remove chemicals from water, if this is your daily driver for a water bottle, then if you should find yourself needing to drink from a sketchy fountain, pond, stream, river or puddle this is the bottle that will get you through it. Some examples I can think of: Your local water treatment plant has a sewage leak or bacterial contamination, or flood waters have contaminated your water supply. Heck a year ago a bunch of people got stuck on the I-95 for 27 hours, so you just never know. It's also a great bottle for people who travel to places with sketchy water. Overall it costs about as much as a regular stainless bottle but it lets you drink puddle water. It looks nice, and whole the carbon filter is not exceptionally large or exceptionally good at removing chemicals it will reduce chlorine and other chemicals somewhat. This is the only bottle I've ever had that didn't have an off taste and I've had stainless steel, plastic and glass. Even the glass bottle tasted like the silicone lid. The straw also prevents the consumption of microplastics. This is really great since all tap and bottled waters contain microplastics. I have had a friend test reverse osmosis water he filled into a glass bottle and it too had plastic contamination. While I wouldn't exactly buy this bottle due to the microplastics it's an added benefit. Concerns: the first thing I noticed when I opened up the straw is that the fibers are glued in place with an adhesive. A recent video on youtube by modern castle claims their water test revealed that the filter added dichloromethane to the water. I believe this may be from the adhesive holding the fibers in place. Modern Castle was testing a gravity fed version of the pitcher, in which case the adhesive side was submerged underwater. My guess is that it may be leaching in that scenario. Regardless, the measurement was 1.4ppb, which is well below the epa limit of 5ppb and below california's more stringent 4ppb. Lifestraw's customer service was light on the details regarding the ingredients or type of adhesive used, but competitor filter straws such as those made by Sawyer are constructed in a similar manner. The lifestraw go version has the glue at the top and it sits above the water line. While looking at it, it appears water may contact it but it is brief as it passes through to the carbon filter so I don't think this model of the lifestraw has much to worry about but I'd skip the fridge filter version of the lifestraw and just buy RO water. Finally I'm unsure of what the straw membrane are made of. It's definitely some sort of plastic, and I found news articles stating that lifestraw uses halogenated resins that have germicidal properties and I personally don't like the sound of any of that. **update** per lifestraw their current membranes do not contain germicidal properties. The material in the membrane is Polysulfone which is a rigid polymer that is stable and retains the pore size needed to filter particles out of the water. It also is resistant to degradation from high or low ph levels, and should not degrade or leach at the temperatures the fibers will be exposed to in the bottle. That being said, lifestraw didn't invent hollow fiber membrane filters, they're used in medical applications, food manufacturing, and municipal water treatment. The fibers are said to be food safe and non leaching and should only be dangerous if you light them on fire and inhale the fumes.

Not very well insulated... I bought this before I have to spend 3 months in Africa this summer. In my AC-redulated office, the ice melts by lunch, and this is after I filled it with ice then water around 6am. For the price, I was expecting Yeti-like double wall insulated capability. Also it doesn't sit in a car's cup holder, so I can't drink from it on the road. It ends up rolling around the floor or the passenger seat. Not a big deal, but this product is so-so based on these factors. The water tastes great, the bottle fine and all, but it has room for improvement before it is worthy of this price. I use a few other Life Straw products for camping and they are really good... I hope this product gets better.

This water bottle has quickly become a daily essential for me. I’m always thinking about quality, taste, and safety when it comes to what I drink, and this bottle checks all the boxes. I was specifically looking for something sturdy and sleek—preferably black to match my other water bottles and Yeti mugs—and this one fits in perfectly. The bottle I own is the 24 oz size which is ideal for everyday use. Whether I’m at the office, the gym, or just around the house, it’s the right balance between capacity and portability. It’s also easy to toss into a bag without being too bulky. I’m even considering buying a larger version to use while bartending where staying hydrated during long shifts is a must. The great thing about this brand is it offers several additional sizes - both smaller and larger to properly ensuring your water capacity needs. Two things that really stand out are how easy it is to open and clean. A lot of bottles can be a hassle in one or both of those areas, but this design is very user-friendly. The lid opens smoothly, and there aren’t a lot of hard-to-reach crevices—which is key for keeping things hygienic. What really sets this bottle apart, though, is the built-in LifeStraw filtration system. It’s a game-changer. Not only does it improve the taste of tap water, but it also gives you reliable peace of mind knowing that the water you're drinking is filtered and safe. I don’t typically like the taste of tap water, and this makes a noticeable difference. The filter is built right into the straw, so there’s no extra effort—just fill and drink. This bottle is so practical and reassuring that even one of my co-workers—who’s about to study abroad in Peru—picked one up to ensure access to clean drinking water during her travels. That alone speaks volumes about its reliability. 10/10 – Highly recommend. It looks great, works even better, and gives you the confidence that you're drinking clean, great-tasting water wherever you go. I never leave home without it.

Ottimo prodotto.

Superbe gourde. Matériaux très agréable. Facile d emploi et bonne contenance. Solide. Très contente. Et la couleur sublime.

Used it for my travel to southeast Asia and filled water from taps and didn't get diarrhoea in all 6 weeks of travel so I guess the bottle does its job well! It helped me reduce plastic waste a little

Excelente botella con filtro superior, confianza y salud. Muy recomendable

Pretty good item, just that the effort to suck the water is abit on the high side but it is all good.
