Water Bottles Explained

1. Why are they important?

   A bike water bottle allows you to transport and carry a beverage in a bottle cage. There are also water bottles that are sized larger than bottles cages, these are ideal for off the bike activities such as hiking, camping or at the gym.

2. Why are they good?

   Water bottles are designed ergonomically. This means that they are designed for easy handling, this is particularly important whilst cycling, as drinking from a water bottle whilst riding is a common occurrence. Triathlon and TT specific bottles are aerodynamically designed and available to help shave seconds off during events. The nozzles/lids of water bottles are designed to allow fluid to pass through when you want it too, so are leakproof and safe for carrying in luggage.

3. How do I choose?

   Various designs, colours and types are available from the wide range of water bottles at Wiggle, we are sure there is something to suit your requirement. If you take part in long journeys where replacement fluid is not readily available, it's worth considering larger volume bottles - the standard size of a cycling water bottle is 500/550ml. Thermal bottles are highly recommended for keeping fluids warm or cold, ideal for climates with extreme temperatures to keep you hydrated.
