Hydro flask is definitely a brand that’s fairly well known to be exceptional! This definitely falls right in line with that statement and absolutely does not disappoint! As someone who definitely likes to stay hydrated I’ve literally always got something with me to make sure that happens. I’ve definitely got the gamut from wide mouth bottles, to taller ones with straws, to smaller bottles with handles. This has rapidly become my go to! The handle is perfect and isn’t huge and in the way making the bottle itself feel like a fire extinguisher. I really like that there’s a little bit of weight to it so in the event it slips out of your hand you’re not holding your breath waiting for it to crack. I’m a HUGE fan of the flip top and straw, both because I do tend to be mindful of things like sand or debris finding it’s way into my drink, and because when working out on the treadmill I haven’t quite mastered drinking from an open mouth container and not spilling it all over myself! The number one selling point for me is that my beverages stay cold forever! I literally put ice in and my drink was still cold the following day! Fantastic product and a must have for a durable and incredibly effective water bottle!

I traded in several Hydroflask products that I'd had for a number of years, but either didn't use or were damaged in such a way that they were no longer functional. I love that the company offers this option, as I didn't want to just throw them away, and I'm glad to know Hydro is taking responsibility for the whole life cycle of their products. I'd gone over to the St*nley dark side (I still love it for long car trips), but I've always been a Hydroflask loyalist at heart. I really like the updates they've made to the Flex Straw lid, so it can be more thoroughly cleaned. I also love that the whole thing is dishwasher safe. I got this in the same color as the one that got me all the way from senior year of high school (2018) until my first year of teaching (2023), and I love this one just as much as I loved the other!

We got this small 24oz size insulated water bottle to replace a well-known competing brand that held ice "forever", but the old one was awkward and too big. I had read several reviews (outside of Bean) that said this one leaked. That would be a big problem for us, since we carry this inside our saddle-bags on long motorcycle rides. Yippee...used it for a week in the desert this Summer, bouncing around in the bike for 1400 miles. No drips and plenty of cold water. And, I was skeptical of the 'Flex Straw' deal, but it was fantastically easy to use rather than unscrewing the whole top while standing beside the road!

All around a good product for us.

First there is no way to access, leave or review the “my hydro” customizable bottles. If you want to know the true color of the “camellia” pink color, visit ANY other site for the exact bottle and you will see the true color everywhere except here on the same computer/device. It is Not a bright pink but very dull and a dull finish. Next, it does keep drinks cold. I wish I could’ve reviewed this exact bottle prior to purchasing 3. As some had expressed on various bottles do not insulate properly or at all. This one does not insulate hot drinks. Within an hour and a half my piping hot drink was barely warm.
