When I came across this bestselling water bottle holder from CalPak, I immediately felt that I had found something special — and a solution to my problem.
It had all the features I could’ve wanted. An expandable, insulated pocket for bottles and thermoses, which could even hold my large 40-ounce bottle. Four external pockets, one of them zippered, for storing everything I’d possibly need while out: Keys, wallet, my smartphone, earbuds, sunglasses, lip balm, lipstick and travel SPF. An adjustable, detachable shoulder strap for crossbody and over-shoulder wear, plus a duo top handle for the option of hand-carrying.
Made of water-resistant nylon, it felt high-quality, able to withstand the knocking around that I inevitably subject my possessions to, especially carriers and bags. While the price was a little steep, the water bottle holder’s cost shone through in its material and features — this is clearly worth the money it costs, for those seeking easier on-the-go hydration and organization. “It’s like having eight hands,” said one reviewer. I concur.
I’ve found it works beautifully for walks around the neighborhood, shopping, errands and day trips while traveling. Reviewers also love using it at the gym to keep their water, keys, and other items together in one place. I’ve used it while hiking, too, though depending on how much water you carry and how difficult your trek is, it can get a little heavy, which is why I like it best for shorter hands-free jaunts.
Plus, if you do get some spillage, the insulated inner liner will hold everything in so the rest of your belongings won’t get wet. One reviewer named Jeannine recounted a cup spilling inside her CalPak holder on an amusement park ride: “I panicked thinking on the outside pockets my stuff was wet. But no! Everything was dry, the lining in the inside kept my stuff dry on the outside!!” she wrote. “Love it!!!! It’s my go-to bag for parks now!!”
All in all, it’s incredibly handy and simply a nice tool to have on hand for those dedicated to their to-go drinks. “It’s a bag that brings joy,” wrote one reviewer, Allie, echoing the Marie Kondo method’s famous “does it spark joy” sentiment. It’s so useful that you might want to grab multiple in case others in your household start competing for it: “My husband is going to get one for his birthday because he keeps trying to steal mine,” wrote another reviewer named Cat C.
I chose a classic black, but it comes in tons of colors and designs, like a limited edition daisy print, earthy gingham, powder blue, rouge red, and many more.
