After destroying several plastic water bottles, I bit the bullet and bought these for my family. It has been a great investment. We have travelled all over the country and Asia with these, and they are holding up so well. The do get scratched up, but that doesn't impact the water inside. You can easily keep water cold for hours in this. In Europe last winter, I filled my water bottle up in the morning before leaving for the day, and it literally stayed cold all day long. It was so great. The inside is stainless steel, and is mold/bacteria resistant, but not proof. I have had to soak it in lemon juice and bleach a couple of times to kill what was left in the bottom after a couple of days of letting water sit in it. If you use it a lot, which I do most of the time, that does not happen. Two accessories that make so much sense to add to these, which should come as standard are the rubber boot for the bottom, and the pop up top. These make this so much more versatile, and in the case of the boot, keeps it from crashing so hard and reverberating through time and space so that everyone looks at you. I saw a lady drop one at the airport, and I swear people looked like they were about ready to hit the deck it was so loud. Overall a great investment, and one that two years into it, has paid off handsomely.

Purchased this hydro flask as a gift for someone. They had it literally two days, it fell a total of two feet from where they were seated onto the floor.

It was immediately damaged.

The image that this conveys some sense of sturdiness is misleading. A simple drop at the most should have only scuffed it or scratched it. That would be expected. But a container that wasn’t even full with liquid falling approximately two feet and suffering this kind of damage is extremely disappointing.

If this is the damage if receives from just dropping it from a seated position, what good will it do when being used elsewhere for hiking or working out?

The damage this received has left me with no confidence the insides haven’t cracked or chipped, likely exposing the giftee to possible health risks.

Buyer definitely purchase at your own risk.

I’ve tried several water bottle brands (e.g., Swell, Camelbak) and HydroFlask is my favorite! I’ve used my bottle every day for over 3 years, and would highly recommend! SHAPE / USABILITY I LOVE the top handle - I bring my bottle to the gym and work and love that I can carry it on a finger while also holding other things like my phone, towels, gym equipment, etc. I like the shape of the opening and find that it is easy to clean the inner lip. I live my 21 oz size and will refill it 5-6 times between work and the gym. I’ve found if I don’t completely tighten the lid and throw a full bottle in a bag, it might spill a little, however I usually carry it empty it upright. FUNCTIONALITY The bottle is very insulating - I’ve found that it keep water cold for over 24 hours. At work I’ll fill it up and keep it open on my desk and water is still nice and cool hours later. WEAR AND TEAR Considering I’ve used my bottle every day for over 3 years, I’d say it looks fantastic! I always bring it with me to travel as well. I’ve dropped it several times (knocking it off a bench, dripping from waist high) and it’s held up pretty well. The bottom lip is slightly dented and only a tiny bit of the paint has chipped. Because I have the white color, it shows scratches and fingerprints more, but it’s not too noticeable. Would highly recommend and I’ll definitely be purchasing in more colors!

Really Accessible and Great Quality! My Hydro Flask is the best water bottle I have ever had. With all the different colors and sizes to choose from, I had an easy time finding the one I liked most. They are easy to take with you wherever you go as well. Personalization wise, they are very good with stickers. You can put on whatever stickers you want to make it more personal to you. I have put stickers on mine and none of them are even close to coming off. Just make sure when you put one on, you want it on for good. Another thing I like is how there are many different types of lids that you can use and switch out whenever you want. I have been staying hydrated ever since I got my Hydro Flask because I can carry water with me everywhere I go. The accessibility of a Hydro Flask is just what anyone would need in a water bottle. Most Hydro Flasks range from 30-50 dollars. Which to me, is quite a lot for something you are just going to be putting water in. But let me tell you now, it is worth the money. In the mornings, when I put water and ice in my Hydro Flask, I can leave it somewhere for the whole day and when I come back for it, the ice is still there. Or when it is cold and I’m wanting some hot chocolate, I could bring it in my Hydro Flask and it would stay warm for a really long period of time. None of my other water bottles or containers can do that. The Hydro Flask that I have now has lasted me 3 years and is still in almost perfect condition. The only reason it wouldn’t be in perfect condition is because I drop it every once in a while and it has some scratches and a couple dents. If I was more careful, it would look brand new. Hydro Flasks are definitely worth the money and I would recommend everyone get one.
