TAL 64oz Stainless Steel Ranger Water Bottle Black scores 85/100 on Scout's independent analysis of ingredients, additives, and lab results — one of the stronger scores in Scout's catalog. Stainless steel is what touches the drink — inert food-grade steel that doesn't leach or shed microplastics.

In Scout's ingredient-by-ingredient analysis, Stainless steel (body) counts in its favor, and Plastic lid, spout or straw (type undisclosed) is flagged as an ingredient of concern. The full breakdown, with why each one matters, is in the Key ingredients section on this page.
