It is a great water bottle! I love the color and the durability. I upgraded after 7 years from a grey plastic camelback (which I loved, an amazing water bottle that I used all throughout college and my first few years of corporate America). But this bottle is more expensive and clearly better. It feels more sturdy and keeps beverages at a good temperature for longer, I do not have to worry about it heating up the water whilst I am out and about on a hike or sitting in the car. This bottle is an investment, I also bought the top that closes the spout a bit to be a more normal plastic water bottle opening so all in all I spent about $60 or so. But honestly for something I use everyday and will have for years, I think it is worth the investment. Ignore the hype the bottle gets on social media bc it’s trendy and get this water bottle because it’s honestly amazing. I love how much water it holds too. I only have to fill it 3-4 times a day and I drink a LOT of water (I aim for ~4 liters a day). Cannot praise this thing enough

I love my Hydro Flask 40 oz bottle. It carries the perfect amount of water without being a clunky, bothersome bottle. The bottle is super easy to carry and portable, especially if you grab it by the ring on the lid. I love how cold the Hydro Flask keeps my water through the day. I put ice in it in the morning and my ice is still there near the end of the day, keeping my water refreshingly cold all day long. The lid is also extremely leak-proof unlike other water bottles that have a straw and when the straw is down I can throw my bottle anywhere and not have to worry that it’s going to leak through the top. This Hydro Flask is also extremely durable and I’ve had mine for years and it’s only acquired a few scratches and a little indentation from dropping it on the driveway. However, this water bottle is pricey, so I think making it more affordable it definitely an improvement point. But overall, a great water bottle!

I bought this around black Friday as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend. I wanted him to have a quality bottle and not a cheap piece of crap like he was using. The bottle worked good...for 3 months. Then the vacuum seal failed on the bottle and it would not keep water cold. Water also somehow got in between the walls of the bottle. I contacted HydroFlask for a return and had to pay almost $10 shipping to return the bottle to them. Then when they sent me a replacement, it did not come with a straw lid like the one I had purchased. I don't think I will purchase from HydroFlask again. Had they covered my return shipping, I probably would have felt differently. But HydroFlask is expensive. And I didn't enjoy paying $10 more after only 3 months of use. I could have gotten a lot of stainless steel bottles at Costco for what I invested in this one bottle. I probably won't buy another HydroFlask. As a side note: I filled out the "How Did We Do" survey that they sent me after the return. They never even responded back to me when they heard I was unhappy.

I bought this as a gift for my husband. For a while, he's been wanting a new waterbottle/ tumbler and for the occasional tea but never got around to getting one so I took this as an opportunity to find the right waterbottle for him. And I must say, I can't stop hearing him glorify how great this water bottle is. The handle is a huge plus, because he has big hands and it's comfortable to hold and if you slip it over your 4 or 3 fingers it doesn't hurt than if it were hard plastic. I also got some splash guards that I thought would be useful for when he has his occasional tea but but he hasn't used them yet nor has had tea in it... I did however use the bottle one day and used the splash guard because I have such a tony face/mouth and I was afraid of drenching myself and it held up great, it didn't fall out. The only thing for me is that since the cap is black, maybe I haven't figured it out yet but I do wish there was a way to take out the rubber ring inside the cap to clean so that mold doesn't build up, because you can see water gets under it. it's a great tumbler otherwise and since I recently lost one of my own, I'm thinking to get one of these myself
