Replacement for my favorite water bottle? (Contigo Madison autoseal)

September 9, 2021 6:08 PM

I really liked the Contigo Madison water bottle but it was discontinued. I loved that I could use it with one hand, that it was basically impossible for me to accidentally not close properly and spill all over my bag, the built in carabiner hook, and the fact that water flowed quite fast. For a while I was using the Contigo Chug as a replacement because at least it had the carabiner and I could drink fast, but now it looks like that's discontinued as well. Does anyone have any ideas? (no straws please)

I like the IKEA BERGLUBB - no hook but it has a nice strap.

Stanley recently revamped their entire line; here's their 22 oz. "ice flow" water bottle with a bail handle and a flip up spout for one-handed drinking.

Have you looked at the Contigo Cortland Bottle?

I am a large fan of the Camelbak Chute. Large mouth, quick flow, easy one-handed operation, and it has a big handle that a carabiner can easily be attached.

We use the Contigo Chill Autoseal. One handed, autoseal, big handle for a caribiner. I don't know your threshold for "quite fast", but we've had a bunch of these and none has failed.

Seconding the Cortland from Contigo. Various sizes here.

a few of the "we can put your company's logo on stuff" places online seem to have the contigo madison in stock still, perhaps you might be able to contact them and see if they'll sell you a few unbranded?

alternately, there are quite a few contigo chugs available on ebay.

Response by poster: Thanks to all. I have tried the Cortland and it drips slow to me, unfortunately.

I will probably go the eBay route for the Chug for now, but I’m anticipating that will eventually run dry as well (as it did for the Madison) and trying to figure out my options.

It looks like the IKEA one is on its way out as well!

I will give the Camelback Chute a try too!

Not a precisely perfect answer, but the Owala brand water bottles are my favorite - hook for carabiner, closes nicely, and although there is a straw it’s fully integrated/allows for chugging via straw, and the chugging/pouring option means you can drink water at a high rate of speed.
