All around a great water bottle! I love the colors (I ordered the Obsidian one). The lip of the water bottle is super smooth. I don't know why I expected differently, but it's great. The size and shape is very efficient as well. I use mine almost exclusively for work, so I just toss it in my backpack and because it's shaped similar to a plastic water bottle, it fits efficiently for how I use it.

If there was a negative, opening and closing the bottle isn't effortless. The o-ring is substantial and you'll never get a leak, but that also means it may require more force to open and close it. Also, opening and closing it is a little awkward, in that the cap is narrow and awkward to grip.

At the end of the day, it's a water bottle and does that job quite well! I would recommend this product!

so i bought this one intending to love it. it's the perfect color and looks so sleek. despite the review to follow i really liked the bottle. however, it does not keep drinks cold or warm. when i fill it with ice first thing in the morning it was completely gone by the end of day, and all my other hydroflasks kept ice frozen for days. so i tried it for my coffee, hoping maybe i'd be able to use it for that. nope, I heat up my coffee to scalding first thing in the am and then pour it in there, within 4 hours it was tepid, usually it stays hot/very warm til mid afternoon. so to sum it up, i want to love it, but it does not work as good as the regular hydroflasks.

This bottle is awesome. It’s lightweight but still retains heat decently well.

Shipping however, was a nightmare. I ordered it on Dec 15 and it didn’t ship out until Dec 26. And that was after I called twice, asking about the status. It was a Christmas present that was (obviously) very late and Hydro Flask basically said “that sucks” when I complained about the 11 days my order just sat in a warehouse.

So, bottle is awesome, Hydro Flask shipping and customer service SUCKS. Think it’s going to be YETI for me from here on out. You lost a customer Hydro Flask.

I bought this bottle for my daughter to take to school but had I know it wasn't dishwasher safe I NEVER would have purchased this item. We are too busy to have to hand wash bottles. The need for handwashing should be prominently visible in the product description not buried in the Q&A. I have loved and trusted Hydro Flask for many years and own a variety of bottles and tumblers but this purchase makes me question my feelings, because they aren't up front with their products descriptions.
