Review on Stainless Steel Hydro Flask Water Bottle – Reusable, Vacuum Insulated with Flex Lid for Standard Mouth by Bob Jensen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good option - wish the cap was easier to screw on though

Overall I like the water bottle. There are two issues I have with a bottle of water. First, the top doesn't screw in as easily as I'd like. But compared to other water bottles, it's still not bad. I had a serious problem when it was too easy to screw the cap on an old Kleen Kanteen water bottle, and I didn't realize it until I noticed a lot of water had leaked out. No problem with this bottle. This bottle cannot be screwed on incorrectly, it just takes a little longer to screw on than other Hydro Flask closures. My second issue with this has to do with size. I'd really like to find a good quality 1 liter stainless steel water bottle that fits in a cup holder and doesn't leak. I really need something extra to go to the gym. Narrower water bottles fit best in gym cup holders. This size just doesn't give me enough water. This is of course not due to a product defect. I have tried many different glass and stainless steel bottles. My favorite brands are Hydro Flask and Life Factory. You have good seals. Hydro Flask Bottle Caps unscrew easily and are durable. I've tried Ello water bottles and generally like them, but the lid breaks easily. Life Factory lids are strong but not easy to screw on properly.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Almost never
