This is my second 32oz Hydra Flask in less then a year. I have read stories about people running over their Hydra Flasks and they still keep their beverages cold. I am finding this hard to believe as I was using mine every day and as a sales rep was not abusing it at all. My issues were that in the course of using them I had accidently dropped them and there were small dents on the bottom of the bottle that seemed to have affected the ability of the bottle to keep beverages cold. Hydra Flask replaced the first bottle as I had it for about 2 years. The replacement bottle has lasted less then 3 months and it too has lost it's ability to keep my beverages cold. I purchased a new one at the REI 25% off sale and will be following up with Hydra Flask directly to see about getting the second one replaced. I want to keep using Hydra Flask but may need to look elsewhere for a bottle.

I recently purchased a water flask (this is second time)
, and I have mixed feelings about its performance. One significant issue I've encountered is the difficulty of sucking water through the straw. It requires an excessive amount of effort, which is inconvenient and frustrating, especially when trying to stay hydrated throughout the day.

Additionally, I noticed a smudge on the top of the flask right out of the box. This detracts from the overall aesthetic and raises concerns about the quality control during the manufacturing process.

While the flask does keep water cold for an extended period, these drawbacks make it hard to fully recommend. I hope the company addresses these issues in future versions.

We bought this for our daughter for her birthday. She studied many brands of “expensive” water bottles and chose hydro flask. One week of school it slipped out of side pocket of back pack (in the school) and has two very large dents. I have never spent this much money on a water bottle for myself nor anyone else, but this is what she wanted for her birthday. A $45 water bottle should not sustain large dents with one drop, especially indoors. . I contacted hydro flask with situation. They offered for me to send the water bottle back (I pay shipping) and they would send us a $5 coupon to buy another one. What a joke! I will never buy another hydro flask. Do not recommend! Poor quality! DO NOT BUY! Waste of money

I've usually avoided metal water bottles because of weight and the fact that they unavoidably get dented.

I bought this one because the bottle carrier I recently purchased is a bit too snug on the Nalgene bottles, making it a serious nuisance to pull out to drink while hiking.

The metal got dented on the first day out! lol.

I am not too impressed by its insulating ability. Given the wall thickness, I would have expected a little longer-lasting coldness retained.

Otherwise, it is a solid bottle and I like it.

One superficial complaint I have is that I saw none that were plain, with no printing of famous sites on them. I like my items simple.
