Finally, a glass bottle that holds up to real life.

Sound familiar?

Every water bottle has a catch.

  • Plastic that lingers

    Plastic that lingers

    Leaches hidden microplastics and warps with hot drinks.

  • Metal that tastes like metal

    Metal that tastes like metal

    Leaves a metallic taste and often hides a plastic lining.

  • Glass that feels fragile

    Glass that feels fragile

    Great water, scary in a bag.

You shouldn't have to choose between clean taste and a bottle you can actually carry.

Meet Trace

Glass you can take anywhere.

An orange-brown canvas backpack sits on wooden outdoor stairs next to a silver camera, with bamboo water bottles and white headphones in the bag's pockets and on nearby steps.
  • Clean-tasting borosilicate glass
  • Bamboo sleeve cushions bumps
  • Carry loop for pack or hand
  • Refill for years, not weeks

See-through by design

Nothing to hide.

Glass lets you see exactly what you're drinking, how much is left and how clean it is.

  • HOT COLD

    Hot or cold, it's ready.

    Borosilicate glass is made for temperature changes. Tea in the morning, ice water at noon. Made for drinks from 32°F to 212°F.

  • FULL HALF REFILL

    See your water level.

    The window in the bamboo sleeve shows how much is left, so you always know when it's time to refill.

  • STRAW BOTTLE TRACE

    See that it's clean.

    No straw, no hidden valves, no corners where gunk can grow out of sight. If it's clean, you can see it.

Quick answers.

Is it heavy?

It weighs 14.8 oz (420 g) empty, which is heavier than most plastic bottles. At 9.0 in tall and 2.6 in wide, it slips into a bag pocket, and the cotton loop makes it easy to carry.

Trace Oasis bamboo bottle scrubber How do I clean it?

Hand wash only, using the free Trace Oasis scrubber that comes in the box. Keep the bamboo sleeve dry between uses.

Will it break if I drop it?

Glass can break, so we'll never call it unbreakable. The bamboo sleeve helps cushion bumps, and if the glass breaks in the first 90 days, we replace the whole bottle free.

What is it made of?

72% borosilicate glass, 21% bamboo, a 5% polypropylene lining, plus a little silicone and cotton. Your water sits in a glass body.

Can I put hot drinks in it?

Yes, it's made for drinks from 32°F to 212°F. Borosilicate glass is the same kind of glass used for kitchen and lab glassware, and the bamboo sleeve helps keep it comfortable to hold. It isn't insulated, so hot drinks cool down like they would in a mug.

Will it leak in my bag?

No, it's leak-proof. And if it doesn't work for you, you have 30 days to get your money back.

What if I don't like it?

You have 30 days to get your money back.

How long does shipping take?

Shipping is always free. Delivery takes 14 days.
