Owala FreeSip Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Straw, BPA-Free Sports Water Bottle, Great for Travel, 24 Oz, Forrestry

it keeps the water really cold

Nice

Works great! Spill proof and keeps ice cold for over 24 hours. Design keeps it leak proof.

Bought for my boyf and he loves it for for gym. Keeps water cold for sooo long. Likes how you can use the straw or not and how it covers the straw.

I love this bottle, the lid is super leak-proof and I really like the easy click-open feature and the handle. This makes it perfect for traveling and keeps me drinking more water throughout the day. I also like how well it keeps water cold for hours and that the bottle is very well designed, most of the bottles have very nice colors and combinations. Overall I think it is one of the best water bottles I have ever purchased.

I love that the bottle has a large capacity (40 oz) but still fits well in backpack bottle holders (if it can hold a 32 oz Nalgene, it can hold the 40 oz Owala). The sipping straw feature built into the mouthpiece is surprisingly comfortable and very easy and convenient to use regardless if you're sipping or swigging. The design of the mouthpiece also makes it very easy to clean compared to other sipping bottles like a bite valve bottle. The stainless steel vacuum interior holds water temperature very well and is very easy to clean, especially with the wide mouth opening when the cap is removed. The cap secures very well and you can feel the tight seal when you close it, giving you confidence that it won't leak. The silicone seal for the mouthpiece also can be removed very easily for cleaning and the carrying handle folds in very well and locks in securely. Everything locks into place with a very satisfying, secure click.The one caveat, or limitation, of the bottle is that the seal on the mouth piece is so effective that it can cause the straw to store water when you remove the cap when the bottle is full. This may lead to some spillage from the end of the straw if the mouthpiece seal is opened after the removal of the straw. Also, when filling the bottle, be sure to replace the cap with the mouthpiece seal open or some water may shoot out of the mouthpiece when you open the seal as the water rushes into the straw when the air is released. In my opinion, this is a very minor issue.Overall, the bottle has quickly become my everyday water bottle. It fits into my bag's bottle pockets very well and is great for leaving on my desk at work to sip water from while also being great to take swigs from while at the gym, or when I'm especially thirsty. The simple design makes it easy to clean and the stainless steel interior holds temperature very well while being plastic free.

I really like this water bottle, and it would work for a lot of people. However I think they’re competing with Hydro flask, so I’ll list some pros and cons as to why I like this brand better than Hydro flask. Keep in mind I’m very picky about my daily use waterbottle and I have the 32 oz in grey!PROS: Feels less bulky and heavy than a 32oz Hydro flask bottle, the straw is really unique and easy to drink out of compared to a Hydro flask straw bottle (I even let a stranger drink out of it one time so I could brag about how cool the straw was), fully leak proof when sealedCONS: The lid is spring loaded so when you click the button the lid opens really fast. The first couple times I opened it it hit my knuckle pretty hard so I had to adjust the way I hold it when I press the button. It’s also tempting to just not seal the bottle completely, because the lid is spring loaded it takes just a little bit of effort to make sure the top “clicks” to fully seal. If you’re lazy like me then you may accidentally not completely seal it every time. If it lays flat when it’s not fully sealed it can leak a full 32oz of water before you even realize it’s spilling, it happens fast and happened to me on the floor of an airplane as well as the passenger seat of my car. Needless to say I trained myself to always hear the “click” so it fully seals. Last con and honestly the biggest one to me, I’m not a fan of their color options! They do stripes of random bright or pastel colors, some of which really don’t match each other at all and they look like they are made for kids (I’m 26 so it’s not like I’m old) basically my only color options were solid black or gray. I think if they had more solid color options without the weird striped lids they would appeal to more people so I’m confident in the future they’ll provide better color options!

If you like putting bottles in your backpack's side pockets when you travel, this won't do well for you. However if you're ok holding it or attaching an extra clip on your bag to hold it, then I highly recommend this bottle.One of the things I like is that there are two ways to drink the water, with ONE spout! You can use the straw feature or you can chug! Up to you.
