Free sip is the best of both worlds IMHO. You can sip from it or chug out of it like a Gatorade bottle because of the unique design. It does t rush out like other bottles AND if you need to pour it out into something else then it makes it so much easier. Also the COTS bottles are very cool. Grab them while you can! Very happy with all of them and have given them as gifts. I like Yeti and still buy some of their products, but when it comes to water bottles I think Owala is light years ahead of the competition in functionality.

I got some of these for all my boys because everything else we had tried ended up breaking within days. So far they're indestructible and the kids love them. It doesn't hurt that its been over 110 degrees for weeks and they keep the water ice cold all day long either.

My Owala water bottle is awesome and I can admit that I kinda succumbed to a Facebook ad to buy it. I also saw fellow coworkers (I work in Healthcare) have it. I love that fact the bottle has two ways to drink from it. You can sip through hidden straw or gulp other way. The colors are awesome and the ice I put in it stays for a long time... even when I left it in my hot car in Florida. The only negative thing I'll say is that it tends to be easily scratch able and easy to dent if dropped.

I love this water bottle! Throw a little ice in with water and it keeps it nice and cold all day long. Even leaving it in my hot car. Also the design is very good although I find myself using the straw 90% of the time. My only complaint would be it is a tad hard to open and close but I m still give it a 5 star. Love it!

Honestly, when I saw the ads I knew that I d like this bottle. I love a straw but also the option of getting a chug when really thirsty (usually gym or yard work). My fiancé wants one now too. Really great. It has replaced my Yeti. Keeping a 32oz bottle makes getting one gallon of water in a day easy. I wish it fit in my car cup holder because it rolls around then I can t reach when driving. Nonetheless, I ll be buying more. Thank you for the teacher discount!

I really love being able to use a straw and free sip outta the same top it's awesome! It was a little weird at first I didn't know what to expect, I was afraid it would drown me (sorry Owala!) But it is just perfect it's exactly the perfect amount of fluid per sip! Love! Highly recommend. I'm buying as gifts!

I love this bottle. It s very insulated, the built in straw is great. I ve bought a total of 5 of these for myself and my family. The only downfall...it does leak, contrary to description. Not all of them do, but 3 out of the 5 have. So keep it upright! I ve learned that if not you ll end up with a car floorboard full of water!

I love my freedsip so much! It s great for my days in the hospital. My only complaint is that sadly it is not leak proof. If it gets tipped over the water starts leaking out from where the lid meets the cup portion. It s gotten on my leather car seats multiple times now /: but still love it and still an excellent product even with this annoyance.

I absolutely love my Owala bottles and especially the summer color. I normally don t like a lot of bright colors but the summer color is so cheerful and fun... strange combination but oddly I like it. So many compliments and inquiry as how they can get one. I carry it everywhere! A great addition to my collection.

Best drinking bottle I've ever had, hands down. Since I bought my first one I have not drank out of any of my other (way too many) bottles and cups. I now have a cabinet full of bottles and insulated cups to get rid of. Every one else in my family and immediate circle of friends now use them as well. Ice keeps forever in them and the opening lets you jug just the right amount of water. I drink so much more water now and it never seems like the chore it used to be to get my allotment down each day. Do yourself a favor and get yourself one or two or three!
