Review on Flex Sip Lid for Hydro Flask Wide Mouth Bottles by Nathan Tsugawa

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Great lid with one fatal flaw

This is an excellent lid, an improvement over the standard flip lid except for one major issue which causes it to leak a bit. Plastic edges fray and wash small pieces of rubber into the drink (this was my problem with the standard flip top - rubber pieces were showing after a year of heavy use), this lid seems to be much more durable - it opens by twisting, not pressure - no additional fuses required. I'm pretty sure it won't rotate in my backpack. Bad: - There is a large cavity in the lid that fills up when drinking when the lid is closed. , causing the void to detach from the bottle, but if you turn the bottle upside down the void will still flow into your bag! - The cavity is difficult to empty, there is always some liquid left that spoils and leaves dirt - I drink a lot of coffee with sugar and milk, it's not nice and it smelled. See photo of cap with top removed after use - all liquid visible there is free to drain out and the rest of the vial is sealed.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • thin
