Feel Secure
"I feel secure in the fact that I'm well protected from micro plastics. The only drawback is that sometimes pressure builds up in the bottle and will come up through the straw and spill."
The LifeStraw Go Series Stainless Steel 18 oz is a robust, insulated water filter bottle engineered for daily hydration, travel, and adventure. Featuring a slim, ergonomic design that fits most cupholders and backpacks, it combines a two-stage filtration system: a membrane microfilter (lasting up to 1,000 gallons/4,000 liters) that removes bacteria (including E. coli and Salmonella), parasites, and microplastics, and an activated carbon filter (lasting up to 26 gallons/100 liters) that reduces chlorine, odors, and organic chemical matter for improved taste. The bottle is made from BPA-free stainless steel, comes in a variety of colors, and is independently tested to NSF 42 and US EPA/NSF P231 standards.
Every purchase directly supports LifeStraw’s Give Back program, providing a child in need with a year of safe drinking water. Customers consistently praise the bottle’s filtration effectiveness, taste, durability, and positive social impact, while also offering constructive feedback for design enhancements. LifeStraw’s science-backed transparency and embedded impact model distinguish it from other water filtration brands.

"This water bottle is my new favorite. I work at a daycare so the cap is great for keeping the germs off. The filter is better than any other brand on the market. I’ve tried others and the water doesn’t taste as good as it does from this bottle. I wish there was a kids version for my kiddos!"
"I bought this bottle to replace a Camelbak bottle that has a lifestraw filter. Unfortunately, the metal camelbak was only available in a huge size that was too big for both my backpack and the cup holder in my car. The new lifestraw bottle is a great color, and fits better in my car. But the straw design does not work as well as well as the flip straw on the camelbak. The cap is really too tall, so it still doesn’t fit really well into my backpack. And you have to find a place to put the lid while you’re drinking."
"Dealing with hard water . No problems with this . I do have large hands, this bottle is a bit large to reach around . I look for a knob to put on it ."
"Easy to fill and filter anywhere. Not great for flying…water comes out the mouth piece with pressure at altitude."
"The water bottle is solidly built and quite durable. The filtered water tastes slightly sweet, which is nice. However, the twist cap is a bit tight, making it somewhat difficult to open and close—hopefully it will loosen up after a few more uses. I also noticed a small issue: possibly due to pressure or temperature differences, when the bottle has been left for a while (such as after hiking for an hour or two) and I open it again, the water tends to gush out like a small fountain."
"Best filtered stainless steel bottle! Just got back from Peru and didn’t have a problem with filtering the water in the LifeStraw Go Series. The water stayed cold in the Amazon!"
"From the packaging to the product, everything is beautiful. More importantly, it finally fixes my problem with drinking from random taps and fountains while traveling! Airport water and hotel water is just… gross. This fixes that AND it looks good. Get one!"
"My entire order was messed up. I purchased nine items and spent over 250+ dollars with them and yet to hear back from them. Poor customer service"
"We purchased 8 bottles for our family of eight traveling to Kenya- the bottles are colorful-(we bought 1 of every color) They are sturdy & have kept us from getting sick. The only drawback is that it is harder for they younger children to suck the water up the straw but still Doable- so glad to have this resource availed for this kind of trip."
