I am a huge Owala stan so much so that after buying my first one for myself I bought 3 of my friends them for their birthdays. I specifically love the straw shape & how you can drink in two different ways, the sanitary lid, lockable feature, and how you can use the handle to hold or clip on to a caribiner/fanny pack/bag/etc. for on the go. This specific 24 once one happened to be the first one I've bought that broke/has had any problems, not sure if it's from washing it in the dishwasher or what but I believe these do say they are dishwasher safe. The spring bring and would not stay closed, luckily it was within 30 days or whatever so Dicks did refund me. However now my boyfriend is skeptical about getting another and wants to look at other water bottle options. I am still a huge Owala lover though!

Cons I will say though: the boot is protective but makes it hard to but in backpack pockets, cupholders, etc... Without a boot, it dents. I have the white color and it can get dirty easily, top lid can be hard to get fully clean. Expensive although similarly priced to other water bottles

Hands down best water bottle and I’ve tried them all. I now own 3 of these Owala FreeSip water bottles and I use them every day. If the goal is to drink more water then this is the water bottle that will make that happen. Because the sip is has a wide mouth/opening and a thick straw inside the bottle, it’s super easy to drink 2 or 3 of these just at work alone. Every time I see someone with one of these bottles, I ask them how it’s affected their water intake and I get the same super enthusiastic answer from them: It’s doubled or tripled their water intake. Excellent quality, super cute, but most of all it fulfills its mission: to get more water intake which improves health. this 24 of oz bottle fits in my car console cup holder as well as the door cupholder—the bigger size does not fit. Also keeps my water cold for a long time—keeps ice for 24 hours in moderate conditions. ***wishlist: a lightweight non-vacuum version in a larger size that still fits in my car console cup holder ***

As you can see by my photo, I’m a huge Owala fan! I have more that aren’t pictured as well. What I love about these water bottles is, well, everything! The colors and variety are always so fun. I enjoy when they come out with new color combos. You can always swap the lid from another of yours if you feel like a different color would look better. You do you boo!!! The freesip lid is definitely my favorite. You can either choose to drink with the internal straw or take a big swig if you’re feeling super parched. These water bottles are leakproof so you can just throw it right into your beach bag, or whatever bag you are rocking that day.. or you can hold it by the built in lid handle, which is super “handy” (pun intended). The absolute best thing about these bottles is they will keep your drink ice cold the entire day.. in fact, I left my water bottle in my locker once and when I went back to work 2.5 days later, it was still ICE water. I 100% recommend this to my friends, family, and even my enemies (they need to stay hydrated too so why not). Don’t take my word for it though.. try it for yourself.. or don’t.. but you will be the one suffering from drinking warm water on a hot summer day; not me!!

I really love my Owala 32 oz water bottle! It’s the perfect size for traveling. I’m a bit of a water bottle connoisseur, and I find myself reaching for this one the most, especially while traveling. It is leakproof and the stainless steel bottle is very strong. While this bottle is more realistic for everyday use, it doesn’t really keep beverages cold for long. In comparison to other brands, the ice seems to melt much quicker in my Owala bottle. Also, cleaning this bottle can be a chore. The top and straw parts are dishwasher safe, but the bottle itself is hand wash only. I really recommend handwashing this bottle because the top has a lot of crevices that need to be scrubbed. I actually had to buy a set of bottle brushes to be sure that this got as clean as possible. Overall, I really love this bottle and I want to get some more colors!
