Owala FreeSip Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Straw for Sports, Travel, and School BPA-Free Sports Water Bottle, 24 oz, Surfs Edge

I love this product!! Just wanted to mention—since the colors are a little unclear online—that the base color is a very soft pastel periwinkle, and I LOVE it. The colors overall are adorable, even better in person.The combination of the straw and chug spout is great because you get the best of both options. I especially love that the part you put your mouth on is covered, which makes it feel much more sanitary.It keeps water cold for a long time, and the size is perfect. I drink quite a bit of water throughout the day, and this bottle lasts me a long time without needing to refill. It doesn't leak at all as long as it's closed properly.Another feature I really appreciate is the handle lock—it gives peace of mind when tossing it into a bag, knowing it won’t accidentally open. It's also super easy to use.The only small downside is that the handle is a bit tight and not the most comfortable to hold, so it’s not ideal for carrying around for long periods. But other than that, it’s a fantastic bottle and I’m really happy with it!

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.

I’ve been using the Owala FreeSip insulated water bottle for a few weeks now, and it’s quickly become my favorite! The insulation keeps my drinks cold for hours, which is perfect for long workdays or outdoor adventures.The lid is super convenient — you can sip through the built-in straw or flip it open for a bigger gulp. It’s also completely leakproof, so I toss it in my bag without worrying about spills.I appreciate how easy it is to clean, thanks to the wide mouth opening. Plus, the bottle feels solid and well-made but isn’t too heavy to carry around.If you want a stylish, functional bottle that keeps drinks cold and is easy to use, I definitely recommend the Owala FreeSip!

Best leak proof water bottle. Well insulated and keeps ice in my bottle for hours, even after sitting in the hot car, or at the beach. Really well designed. If the bottle tips over in my bag it does not leak. Love that it has an internal straw as well as an option to pour into mouth with a wider spout. I take this everywhere: in the car, in my work bag, to Barre class, hiking and workouts.I’ve tried a dozen different kinds of water bottles and this one is by far the BEST. We have it in 24 oz size also and love it.

Like most, I've had countless water bottles over the years, and I've never felt compelled to write a review of any of them. The owala bottles are just different. I started with a 32 oz. bottle, and quickly bought a 24 oz. bottle to go along with it. The 24 oz. bottle is more convenient as it fits bottle holders and coasters, whereas the 32 oz. is good for when I need to carry more water. The 24 oz. bottle is obviously narrower, and to make it even easier to grasp, it has flat areas on the front and back, giving you better grip. The 32 oz. bottle would probably benefit from a similar design since it has a larger circumference, but you just have to be a little more careful grabbing it. Both have the little lifting tab you can just hook your fingers through. Both have a course texture that does help with grip, as well. The simple but ingenious design of the "FreeSip" lid is what really sets these bottles apart. Sip through the straw, or turn it up. Both work great. It's also very easy to clean. Both bottled keep beverages cold as one would expect. I don't really care about keeping ice from melting for days on end, as long as the water is cold whenever I take a drink, and I've never been disappointed with either bottle. Five stars and worth the price.
