Unfortunately my bottles still do not hold up and keep ice for more than about 5 hours. My last 2 bottles have done this and this new one is doing the same. It is nice to have the straw though to drink while I m driving. My container is in my ambulance most of the time with the air conditioning going and still lose the ice.

The has some nice hybrid features with the straw/pour options, but the lid is connected via a plastic hinge. After just one week of use and ordinary handling, the plastic loop-handle snapped. Since the hinge is connected by the plastic piece, once the loop-handle is gone, the lid is no longer tethered to the waterbottle. This is a major design flaw given the importance of the piece and low-quality of the material (other pieces of the waterbottle and lid are of high quality).

I ve historically used Tervis water bottles which only have a pour spout and I was looking for something with a straw. I came across Owala and it gave the best of both worlds. At first I wasn t sure how the straw would function with their different design but I can now say it s amazing! I love that I can drink from the straw or spout easily. I also love the straw is covered as I am a healthcare worker and worry about contamination while in the hospital. I recommended this water bottle to all of my friends and bought one for my husband who prefers this to his hydro flask!

I like it. It's light weight. My favorite part is the straw aspect and the push button top. I don't drink cold water so I can't speak to how cold it keeps drinks. I only wish I could've gotten the pink one but it sold out. Womp womp. Overall, very good bottle.

I LOVE this cup! It keeps your drink super cold. The best part is, it s so easy to clean! You are able to enjoy the straw feature without the hassle of cleaning all the little parts. Spill proof for sure. I loved mine so much I bought one for each of my friends. Highly recommend.

I was using a Yeti until I stumbled upon an ad for the Owala. I'm so glad I did. I ordered the stainless steel free sip in every color. Gave them away. I love mine so much. It goes everywhere with me. EVERY WHERE! I love that it doesn't leak if it's knocked over. It's easy to clean and it keeps my water cold. I'm drinking more water too. Will order more to give family next Christmas. Thanks Owala!

Not only is the Owala Free Sip made well, the straw and chug setup is extremely functional and corrects many issues I have found in other brand water bottles. It is spill free and the carrying handle also functions as a lock when it s in my bag so it doesn t accidentally pop open. The steel keeps drinks cold for hours. The fun or subdued color choices are great for everyone. Great bottle!

I really love these water bottles. As a healthcare worker, I am especially thankful that I do not have to touch that part of the bottle from which I drink. Also nice that the locking mechanism doubles as a handle, making this bottle easier to carry while walking. Aside from these useful features, the colors are fantastic amd unique- there is no mistaking which bottle is mine!

I have gone through my fair share of water bottles and I am always looking for new ones, but I no longer need to search because I found the perfect bottle! I love the straw feature! The larger hole is great for big sips, but also refilling my water from a water cooler at work without needing to take off the lid! I tell everybody this is that water bottle they need!

My new favorite water bottle! I love the built in straw, it s so fun and makes me want to drink more water. Lots of people have complimented me on the water bottle and also think it s fun to drink out of. It s super convenient to carry and use. Keeps water pretty cool too! Love it so much!!
