I LOOOOVE Hydro Flask!! Which is saying a lot because humans don't normally have strong feelings for water bottles.



But THIS, my friends.... This is game-changing, life-upgrading GOLD. I've already purchased 6 Hydro Flasks, and promote the wonders of Hydro Flask everywhere I go, to everyone I know ... and don't know.

Just got back from a trip to Australia in blazing hot summer (yes, you can bring these to airports) and Hydro Flask was my best friend. Apparently good-looking friend, too, because my orange Hydro Flask got more compliments in an average day than I normally get in a month. -_-



Reasons to love the 24 oz. Narrow Mouth Hydro Flask:

- No disgusting metal taste - EVER

- Narrow mouth = convenient for drinking in the car/on the go (I do still spill sometimes, though. That's because I'm a dweeb).

- It really does what it says. Filled up Hydro Flask with cold water on the morning of a 107°F day hike, enjoyed blissfully cold refreshment all throughout the wretched day, converted all my jealous, overheated hiking buddies into raving Hydro Flask fans.

- Hydro Flask is great for hot drinks, too! Fill it up with tea, cocoa, or coffee and enjoy throughout the day. Yes, it stays piping hot. :)

- The matte powder coat finish feels really cool and looks very attractive.

- 24 oz. is the perfect size for short strenuous hikes, theme parks, days at the office, gym, etc. It's the perfect size for LIFE.

- I've already dropped my beautiful Hydro Flask several times (each time with a mournful wail) but it still looks attractive after a few dents and scratches. I love dropping things knowing they won't shatter... unlike iPhones.

- Outside temperatures do not affect Hydro Flask AT ALL. This is amazing when you're suffering in heat. Nobody likes heated water from a hot plastic bottle on a scorching day. Gross. (That being said, popping your Hydro Flask in a freezer will do absolutely nothing to cool the liquid inside.)

- If your Hydro Flask doesn't knock your socks off, you got a defect - get a replacement! Hydro Flasks come with a LIFETIME WARRANTY, so take advantage of that instead of sitting there angry that 700+ Amazon reviewers lied to you.



FYI:

- Because it's an insulated bottle, Hydro Flask IS noticeably heavier than other non-insulated flasks of the same size. However, this is a VERY small price to pay when you know you'll be rewarded with ice cold/piping hot liquid on a hot/cold day. I gladly carry the extra weight to have access to cold/hot water anytime.

- The loop top cap might be small for big fingers/hands. Use a strap/carabiner to make carrying your Hydro Flask easier.

- Be careful when drinking hot liquids - the opening after all is metal, so it will feel hot on your lips.

- Seller's photos are way overexposed, so don't expect to receive the exact color in the photos. Hydro Flasks are actually darker and more saturated in person. See my photos.



Yes, I know $25 sounds like a lot for "just a water bottle," but Hydro Flask ain't yo' average canteen. This is totally worth the money. Like I said, I've purchased 6 now. They make great gifts (go change someone's life, yo) and you can use it forever.



CONCLUSION:

The is the simply the best water bottle you'll find anywhere: design, function, features - it beats them all. I have yet to see a bottle that puts my Hydro Flask to shame. (I've shamed many insulated and non-insulated bottles so far.) Stop your research already. Just get one!!
