just regular plastic Polar bottles work for me. Not super light tho.

It comes in one liter bottles with a screw top cap to contain the carbonation.

I sometimes use 1-liter bottles. I'm not a fan of carbonation while riding, but these bottles nicely hold a lot of water. I tend to use them early/late in the season when it's cooler and I'm combining commutes, transportation, and recreational rides to save daylight.

Sometimes I add a drop or two of concentrated lime or lemon juice for a bit of flavor and cool in the refrigerator. Bottle size is small enough to handle with one hand.
The cage can hold a 2 liter soda pop bottle but that size is hard to handle with one hand. A person so inclined could change out the cap for a nozzle-type cap, but I find that unnecessary.
I was surprised to see other subscribers also used (or admitted to) screw top plastic bottles…seems kind of
Fredly to me.
