love glass water bottles and and drinking from <a href=\"https:\/\/gogreentravelgreen.com\/how-to-choose-a-healthy-water-bottle-and-34-resources\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reusable water bottles<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>These are a score on both counts.<\/p>\n<p>When they are made from recycled glass like these are, it doesn&#8217;t get any better for us.<\/p>\n<p>Well, it would if they were <a href=\"https:\/\/gogreentravelgreen.com\/made-in-america-products-why-choose-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">made in America<\/a>, but we have yet to find a reusable water bottle made in the USA.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the user and the situation, we often prefer glass water bottles over <a href=\"https:\/\/gogreentravelgreen.com\/stainless-steel-water-bottle-smackdown\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">stainless steel water bottles<\/a> too.<\/p>\n<p>For my purposes, I like the flip cap on the Zulu bottle and find myself using it more often; it is my go-to bottle.<\/p>\n<p>It is easier for me to carry and use in general.<\/p>\n<p>I can easily drink it in the car with the flip cap as I don&#8217;t need two hands to open it.<\/p>\n<p>I also like that the opening is a little bit smaller than the Eco Vessel one so I can drink from it easier.<\/p>\n<p>Both are great picks.<\/p>\n<p>I tend to bring the EcoVessel recycled glass water bottle when I am putting it in a bag with electronics as there is zero chance of it leaking.<\/p>\n<p>The Zulu bottle&#8217;s locking feature is great and also leak-proof, but I always check to ensure it is sealed before putting with my smartphone, etc.<\/p>\n<p>I also use the loop carrier on the Zulu bottle to carry it and like this feature.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"EcoVessel_Surf_vs_Zulu_glass_water_bottles\"><\/span>EcoVessel Surf vs Zulu glass water bottles<span
