Finally caved and bought this from hydroflask. Quality is always the best for me at hydroflask and totally worth the price. I use the standard size cap with straw to be able to drink from the oasis without having to carry it. I use the oasis at home cause it’s just so heavy to carry around lol. Suggestion maybe have a silicone boot from hydroflask already for the oasis or at least come with a silicone bottom? Otherwise I was able to find a silicone boot for the oasis on Etsy.

Overall great product thou. Gave 4 stars cause no specific boot and lack of color options now but totally worth it.

PROS: Well made. Holds a gallon of water (hard to find many of these). Had a wide mouth (easier for cleaning). Non-plastic (we wanted a gallon that was stainless steel for durability/better temp control)

CONS: It is ridiculously heavy. Not practical for taking to workouts, road trips etc. Since we can't return it, we will sell it or donate it. It's too impractical to use. If you were using it to simply hold backup water but didn't need to drink water out of it continuously, the weight wouldn't be an issue.

It’s excellent quality as any of them are but it has three issues that concern me:

The seal with the lid isn’t particularly secure with no locking mechanism and has leaked in my bat, creating a big swampy mess.

Also, the handle/lid is made with the same style lid as the smaller bottles: same thickness, strength, and material, only a longer handle to adapt to the girth. Ordinarily it would be fine but I don’t foresee this handle being able to withstand the heavy pressure for years to come. The handle would best be metal.

The walls are completely smooth, meaning that there is nothing for my hands to grip onto for a container of such a size for drinking out of it. Not so concerning if being used to pour but a grip of some kind would still be nice.

We love this 128 oz Hydroflask!!! It has solved so many of our hydration issues! It has been phenomenal to use at the beach, on a day on the boat, and at home. Would be fantastic for camping and virtually any outdoor activity. So easy to transport (great handle), easy to pour/fill (love that you can switch been taking the entire large lid off or just use the small cap at the top!), and keeps water ice cold for 1-2 days (and maybe longer!). We really couldn’t be more happy that we decided to invest in this item. We got it for a huge discount during a seasonal sale (30-40% off), but even that is still a huge investment. But worth it!!!
