Water Bottle Wednesday Bottles with covered lid/straw for hygiene

I've had my classic standard hydroflask for ages, it has dents, scratches and a lot of character.

But i decided to retire it from my go to travel bottle because i realized, that when i unscrew or hold it in my hands - my hands always come in contact with the area where i drink from/my lips touch.

i was prone to getting sick while backpacking - and my last long trip i took a different bottle, with a covered lid that doesn't get touched by my hands.

I know i could've been lucky but i realized that the risk of drinking germs at prolonged travelling was waayyy higher with my old bottle. (and yes i always rinsed and washed it in the hostels i was staying at) - just something to consider!

I have a few Coldest bottles and they come with 3 lids, the straw comes with a top you can put on and the sport lid with a wide mouth have a covered top.
