800 ml boxing water bottle

- Regular price€14,00
In short: lose more than 2% of your body mass in sweat and performance drops — that is the threshold set by the American College of Sports Medicine. For a 75 kg / 165 lb boxer, that is about 1.5 L / 51 fl oz. This 800 ml / 27 fl oz bottle opens one-handed thanks to its push-pull nozzle: pull, drink, push it back, no unscrewing and no taking your gloves off. Matte black body, Esprit Boxe branding in white on the front. €14, free delivery.
The point where performance drops
The American College of Sports Medicine position stand on exercise and fluid replacement sets the goal plainly: keep fluid loss under 2% of body mass during exercise, beyond which performance is compromised. For a 75 kg / 165 lb boxer that comes to 1.5 kg / 3.3 lb, roughly a litre and a half of sweat. This bottle holds 800 ml / 27 fl oz: two fills cover the threshold across a long session.
Research on combat sports points the same way: dehydration of about 3% of body mass measurably reduces strength and endurance in competitive boxers. In short, a bottle within reach during the session beats a large glass afterwards.
A push-pull cap, built for busy hands
The cap screws onto the neck and carries a red push-pull nozzle. Pull it between thumb and finger, drink, push it back down: the bottle closes with nothing to unscrew. That matters when your hands are wrapped or still inside the gloves, and it lets a partner or coach hand the bottle over already open.
The body narrows at the middle, which gives a firm one-handed grip and lets it sit in a bottle cage or the side pocket of a gym bag.
Matte black, branding in white
The body is matte black with no gloss panel, so fingerprints show less than on a polished plastic. The cap is black, the nozzle red.
On the front face, the Esprit Boxe brand is printed in white together with the FOR THE GLORY line. The block sits in the upper third, above the grip zone. Visibility check: from 5 m / 16 ft you read a black bottle with a red nozzle; from 2 m / 6 ft you read the brand.

Frequently asked questions
How much water should you drink during a boxing session?
The goal set by the American College of Sports Medicine is to stay under 2% body-mass loss during exercise — about 1.5 kg / 3.3 lb for a 75 kg / 165 lb boxer, the equivalent of two full 800 ml / 27 fl oz bottles. In practice, a few mouthfuls every ten to fifteen minutes covers a one-hour session. The most reliable way to calibrate yourself is to weigh in before and after training: every kilo lost is roughly a litre to put back.
Why do boxers spit the water out instead of swallowing it?
To rinse the mouth without filling the stomach. Corners work with the one minute of rest allowed between rounds, and a large volume of liquid taken in that window sits heavily for the next three. So the boxer rinses, spits into the bucket, and swallows only a small amount. It is also why the cornerman hands over a bottle that is already open — the fighter still has gloves on and cannot unscrew anything.
What is the difference between a sports bottle and an insulated bottle?
A sports bottle is single wall: light, squeezable one-handed, drunk from a nozzle and sized for a bottle cage. An insulated bottle uses a double steel wall that holds temperature for hours. For an hour in the gym the sports bottle is the practical format; for a competition day or a long journey, the insulated one takes over.
How do you clean a sports water bottle?
With warm soapy water, a bottle brush for the body and a separate rinse for the cap, nozzle pulled to the open position so water runs through the channel. Dry it open and upside down, never sealed while damp. Once a week, a little warm water with a spoon of baking soda or white vinegar left overnight brings it back to new.
Can you use it for isotonic drinks or protein shakes?
Yes for an isotonic drink or flavoured water: the push-pull nozzle passes thin liquids without trouble. For protein powder, mix it first in a shaker with a mesh screen, then pour it across — the texture then flows through cleanly. Rinse straight after use, before residue dries inside the nozzle channel.
