Owala FreeSip Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Straw for Sports and Travel, BPA-Free, 24oz, Iced Breeze

I love this product. Hated most of the color options, so I went with the white, and it is so functional and cute. I got the 40oz. Just came in today and I inspected it thoroughly while cleaning it- it looks great! Perfect condition. Im a lifeguard and spend hours a day in the heat, so Ill update after a week or so of use at work!

It keeps my drinks cold and I love the straw v gulp feature!

Ive never been a big fan of drinking from a water bottle with a straw, but figured I could use the sip option since this bottle has both. To my surprise, I love the straw! It is in a league of its own. It fits your lips in the best way and its easy to get a nice big sip without tilting the water bottle back. I highly recommend this! I literally use it all day, every day now. The hande makes it easy to carry on walks too.

Stanleys, hydroflasks, and other water bottles always have a drawback. Leaks, you have to unscrew the whole top, hard to carry. Not this water bottle! I love that this one flips open and you can either drink by tipping it back or though the integrated straw! The only thing I wish is that it came with a straw cleaner, luckily I have a few from other things, but it could be difficult to clean the straw if you dont have one.

I needed a new waterbottle because I lost mine and I heard good things about this. So far I love it, the straw sip is so smooth and the mouth sip is nicely designed. I love the color variety and the texture of the bottle. It also feels lighter than most reusables I’ve gotten from Amazon. Don’t know how it will hold up with frequent use but it seems promising :)

This is the best thing I’ve purchased in a long time. The straw lets me drink safely while driving. 40oz is perfect. So far it keeps cool. We will see how summer goes. The latch is solid. Though i would hesitate to latch it to a carabiner or some thing. I did not appreciate the stickers labeling parts and on the mouth piece. Removing and cleaning that gunk is always a bit more annoying than it should be and the use of this bottle is fairly obvious? the color options are horrifying. The palate is solid but the lack of cohesion in one bottle is mind blowing. The fandom bottles are less offensive. That said. Theres a grey. And this bottle is the best water bottle I’ve used. I am enthusing to all my friends and coworkers.

For context, Ive used the Kinto 800mL for about 3 years now. I bought it in Japan before it was sold in the US. I love the minimalist look and color of that bottle. Its pretty banged up now, and still looks cool. My only complaint is that the nozzle has gotten pretty loud lately when I sip it, so theres no way to drink silently at this point. I am someone who always has a water bottle with me, and Im particular about user experience with water bottle design. Theres just too much out there to not be. I love this Owala bottle right off the bat. Glad I found it in all white too. The 32oz just barely tucks into the cup holder in my car, which is great. I like how the lock loop doubles as handle, because I often carry my bottle by hand on walks and at work. Well see how long the hinge lasts. It seems pretty beefy, but a 32oz insulated metal bottle full of water swinging around should take a toll after a while. For a bottle thats too large to fit in most cup holders, its probably going to be on its side and tumbling around more than a smaller one, so having a way to secure it closed makes sense as a feature. I also love the size of the opening, and straw/chug design. Unlike the straw on a Hydroflask, its very easy to sip from this one and get a LOT of water quickly with minimal effort. I HATE the big mouth opening of most bottles. Its so weird to me that the big mouth feature is branded as a feature. Its just annoying. I can chug the entire bottle fast, if I want, with no risk of spilling the water on my face with the Owala design. This is simple, but I like the shape of the bottle. I dont like when brands try to get cute with contouring the bottle shape, or fluting the neck (which only makes the water stream more chaotic when you tip to drink). Having a uniform shape is just more practical for drinking from and storing the bottle. My only [potential] complaints: 1. The lock loop is something I find myself constantly messing with, and always have to make sure its pushed out of the way when I go to sip the bottle. Minor complaint, but it does force me to use 2 hands in situations where I didnt previously have to with my Kinto. In 90% of my use cases, I find myself wishing the bottle had a static finger loop mounted behind the spout that would stay out of the way. I think I would prefer giving up the locking feature for this. 2. The hinge of the lock loops also feels like something that will become a weak point and eventually break or swivel loosely, and make the experience of using the bottle worse. The divot around the spout where it tucks also makes cleaning the bottle more complicated--again, another reason the bottle would be improved by excluding it. 3. The bottom that flips the cap open to drink is pretty stiff and hard to press if you arent hitting it at the perfect angle. Im sure this is a good thing for avoiding unwanted opening/spilling, but has made using the bottle a little uncomfortable. Maybe itll break in over time. 4. The rubberized surface around the spout seems to smudge and stain easily, and its hard to wipe stuff off of it. Not sure if theres any practical design purpose to that section being rubberized. If there is, I havent noticed one.

Saw a write up on this and thought Id try it. I love it. Hands down the nicest water bottle Ive used. The built-in straw feature works better than I thought it would. I like that theres a carrying loop but that it can be folded away--too many bottles have large and inconvenient handles. Overall, this is a nice, sleek water bottle that keeps cold, is easy to clean, and easy to use. The few (very minor) cons are: *Just* fits into the car cup holder Release latch for the lid can be a tiny bit stiff If the lid is open, the main drinking mouth is open so it will spill if you knock it over

I love and live this water bottle. Best investment, it takes a hit and the water stays cool. Not mess at all and I love the slip part especially when I’m in a hurry and the slim of the bottle is nice. I drink water from there everyday. I love that you can replace the straw. It’s a really good product.

I love this cup for so many reasons. I love that it has a built in straw. I also like that the straw is always covered.
