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

The sturdiness of the HydroFlask is really hard to beat. My husband recently lost his, so I needed to replace it. But I won't do the custom engraving order again. I purchased a custom engraving with the word "DAD" on the bottle. I received a bottle that said "Ander V. " Not only is that so far off from DAD, but it's a rare and unique name, so no real way to reuse or regift the bottle. By the time I finally got in touch with a real person at customer service about how to remedy the issue, the color of the bottle I originally ordered (grey) was out of stock. Basically told "oh well, pick another color" for the exchanged bottle. In the end, I eventually received a bottle (orange) with the correct engraving, but I still ultimately paid for a bottle I didn't receive.

I love the limited edition checkerboard design that I got! To be honest I take this water bottle everywhere I go, sometimes in restaurants without even noticing I have it in my hands. I ONLY drink water, I use to hate the metal after taste I would get but with the straw I can no longer taste that. It’s amazing resourceful and environmentally friendly. This sounds like a promo but I just genuinely love this hydroflask! One thing that I don’t really like is the mouth piece for the straw isn’t rubbery like the older hydro I have, but I feel like it is easier to clean the full plastic piece though. Another thing… my boyfriend has one and he works outside all day and his hydro flask still has ice in it by the end of the day!

I don’t get the hype at all. I know these are supposed to be one of the best on the market but I don’t think I have ever bought a product I have disliked more than this thing especially for the price. I had a Takeya for years but lost it so I wanted to give this brand a try. What a mistake. It constantly leaks behind the spout at the top after taking a drink the first day I bought it (see photo of all the AZ hard water build up where it leaked constantly after only a couple months of use). It also makes a slurping sound if the straw isn’t in the absolutely perfect place when using ice. It’s not easy to screw on the top or open it and I’m not a small guy. There are far superior water bottles out there for the money. The absolute worst.
