What Makes a Great Gym Bottle
Large capacity: A gym session + commute + rest of the day requires 2.5L+ of water. A 500mL or 1L gym bottle requires constant refilling. EA/AA-free material: Daily supplement contact with the bottle is a real consideration. Generic BPA-free bottles may contain DEHP — Tritan is the safest plastic standard. Easy to clean: Post-workout protein and supplement residue ferments rapidly. Wide mouth + smooth Tritan interior = effective daily cleaning in under 2 minutes. Canadian retail: No import hassle, Canadian pricing, Sport Chek warranty support.Mammoth Mug vs BlenderBottle for Canadian Gym-Goers
