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

My go-to water bottle, I take it everywhere I go
Whenever asked by recent high school grads what advice we want to share related to college, the first thing we say is to “get a sturdy, insulated water bottle” and we still live by that to this day. Because when we were in college for the first 2 years, it was so easy to forget to drink water. It didn’t cross our minds that staying hydrated would just drastically improve most things (mood, focus, energy, etc). College was always hectic and it was also easy and convenient to waste money at a vending machine and get a quick coke drink. But ever since owning a water bottle, it has been a physical reminder to just sip water instead of getting a sugary drink. That helped us out a lot in fighting the lingering Freshman 15 weight gain too.My wife and I were among the early owners of Owala bottles when they first came out and way before they became trendy on TikTok and became known as koala nose bottles. They were selling them at our local Sam’s in a 2-pack 32 oz black and grey set. It was (and still is) an awesome water bottle and lasted us for years, even after college. Super sturdy and durable, we still have our first bottles. But because of accidental drops, the paint chipped, had scratches, and a few dents on the bottom. It still works in keeping our water cold and hot or cold and we use it to carry ice when camping or having picnic dates at the park. My wife’s favorite water bottle color is white: sleek and clean design, very good looking. So I ordered this 24 oz for her as a surprise. She was very pleased. It’s a smaller size than the 32 oz and she can hold and grip it better since it’s smaller.This is our go-to water bottle. The only brand we use and recommend to all our friends and families. Even ordered two more for my mom and dad. I’d put ice with water in it the night before and it’s still ice cold the next morning until the afternoon, and the ice still hasn’t completely melted then. It’s very well-insulated and very functional. When my wife was recovering from covid, I made her green tea and poured it into her Owala bottle. We didn’t know it was going to retain the heat so well, even after 3 hours and would’ve burned her if she didn’t test it first. It felt like boiling water when she dipped her fingers in. The exterior felt neutral, not warm or hot, so we didn’t know.Overall, this is a heavy-duty water bottle and works incredibly well for insulating both hot and warm water. Even when dropped on wood, cement, tiles, or concrete, it retains its shape albeit a few small dents on the bottom. My wife and I will continue to use our Owala bottles and will buy new ones when the time calls. As long as Owala is still in business, they’ve earned our trust and we will continue buying from them.

Worth the hype
I used to think these were over hyped and I was very wrong, they are the perfect waterbottle.Functionality:First the colors are stunning and I love the look of the bottle’s shape and the colors, it’s just fun. Plus it has two flat sides for easier gripping.We used them when traveling in Hawaii and the drinks stayed cold the whole time. We filled it with ice water in the morning and the next afternoon more then 36 hours later there was still ice.The flap in the front has dual functionality it works as a lock to keep the button to open the top from accidentally being hit but also as a loop to carry it or put on a carabiner.The bottle has two methods for drinking either as a free flow or it has a smaller opening to drink through a straw.It comes apart for easy cleaning.It seals tight and doesn’t leak or sweat.My only complaint is we bought two and on this one the straw falls out constantly, a minor annoyance for an otherwise outstanding product

Awesome bottle
I love my Owala bottle. This smaller size fits in the cup holder in my car, but the larger bottle does not.I have put this bottle in my messenger bag with my computer and have never had it leak at all. I did the same with a Stanley bottle and even though the straw was closed, it still leaked, leaving about an inch of water in my bag with my laptop sitting in said water.There is a small hook that makes it easy to carry. This small handle also folds down and covers the button that is used to open the lid making accidental opening unlikely. I have also used this same handle to clip it to an outside pocket on my backpack.Because these bottles come in 2 different storage capacities you can pick size that suits your needs depending how much water you drink in a day.Also, there is an integrated straw in the opening, so you can either sip through the straw or you can tilt the bottle and drink without using the straw, and the best part is you don’t need to choose a lid with only one of these options because the single lid has both.Stop searching for a bottle and choose your favorite color combination and pick it up today, you won’t regret it.

This bottle has genuinely become my most favourite water bottle I’ve ever owned. Such a cute design (although I can’t speak for some of the others… lol), and the handle makes it very comfortable to carry. I love the straw and the fact that you can choose to sip or chug from it! It also keeps water cold for such a long time. Unfortunately, I’ve dented my bottle already by dropping it (about a metre drop), so it isn’t the most dent-proof but you can always get a silicone boot to protect the bottom. After reading some reviews, I was worried that the bottle might come dented, but thankfully it was sent in a padded mailer and in great condition! My Owala literally comes everywhere with me now and I honestly can never go back to my other bottles. Although it may be a bit pricey, it is 100% worth the money as you’ll get so much use out of it. Also reminder to take all the silicone bits out and wash them individually to keep everything clean! Definitely recommend this bottle if you haven’t bought it already.

Really nice and holds so much water and keeps it cold for a really long time. The quality is worth it for the price.
