Owala  FreeSip Vacuum Water Bottle - 24 fl. oz.

I am really impressed with how Owala FreeSip Vacumm Water Bottle - 24 FL OZ is conveniently helping both my daily life and outdoor activities. The "two option" of sip provide immediate access to my favorite fluid inside bottle so quickly. The options are yours to decide depending on the temperature of the fluid, and how fast you might want to drink from it. The bottle is also around the right size, you could grab it in your hand, have a sip while waiting in the car, during work etc. And whenever I carried it with my hike around the hills, the hook on the top can be easily operated so that your fingers can be fit into it comfortably. Even with the weight of the full bottle of fluid, the whole thing does not feel super heavy to carry. I had no problem holding it for like a few hours with my hike. The temperature preserving feature in general is okay to trust with, my hot tea carried to my hike was well kept with its temperature for quite a few hours. And also I tried it with my large size overnight backpacking pack, there is even more ways to enjoy the drinks by just attaching it to the size pocket of the pack. In general, I really like this bottle and would recommend it.

I am a religious water drinker, so I generally have a water bottle with me at all times. My go to before I received this bottle was the contigo autoseal stainless water bottle. I was intrigued by the design that you have both a straw and an open mouth option. I generally don’t like straw bottles because you usually have to drink out of a silicone spout which I don’t like the taste of and it’s hard to clean. With this bottle I found myself using the straw option more often. No yucky silicon, easy to clean, and good flow of water. As for the open spout option (which is how I’m used to drinking), I found I would tend to spill water on myself because I wanted to put my lips around the straw part and water would flow above it. See picture. Not a major problem but something I would have to learn not to do. I liked how the water bottle locked. It made sense to me that the loop (where I generally held the bottle) dual purposed as the lock. The only downside I could see is that if you were hanging your bottle from your backpack via the loop, I could see the button potentially getting pushed and popping open. I love the look, the large size, and it kept my water nice and cold! This is going to sound funny but I love that you can take large gulps with this bottle. (Especially helpful when working out or hiking) Overall a great water bottle with an new design and great versatility for all types of drinkers!

Bottle is sturdy and color is scratch resistant. However, the release button broke after two months. It just popped off and even though we pushed it back on it would spring right off suddenly. That is how we lost the plastic cover on the spring.

I rarely write reviews, but this little water bottle has brought me so much joy since I bought it that I had to come here and preach. The Owala 24oz feels insanely good in your hand. It has a straw without looking silly. It keeps things hot, it keeps things cold. It fits in my car cup holder, bicycle bottle cage, backpack side pocket. And it looks sleek as h*ck. After having a giant Hydroflask for years, I'm a convert. No more splashing water on my face accidentally. No more struggling to hold it one handed. No more opening and closing a screw top lid. This guy does everything my Hydroflask did but way better and half the price. As you can tell, I'm in love. Do yourself a favor - if you're on the fence, go for it.

I bought the 24 oz "can you see me" pink Owala bottle on May 1, 2024. On June 26, 2024, the gray cap came out of the top so I tried to clip it back in. when I clipped it back in, there are now two extremely sharp wires poking out of the top. Luckily, REI is allowing me to return it. I usually use Hydroflask and will stick with them. Hydroflask's 24 oz bottles are thinner and easier to hold and I've had them for years with no issues. My wife really loved the color so that's why she bought it. I do not recommend these. Try hydroflask.

Poor quality. I bought one in January 2024 and come May the lid has already completely detached. Only reason I’m giving it 2 stars is because it’s otherwise a decent bottle.

This bottle is the perfect size for everything. It fits perfectly in cup holders in my truck so traveling with it didn’t mean it was sitting in the seat or falling on the floorboard. I wasn’t too sure about the spout with the straw. I prefer no straw on my bottles. However, this top worked well to turn it up to drink and to also sip using the straw. That design gives the best of both worlds. I used this on a hike, for a workout, and while I was at work. The bottle is tough and convenient.

I’ve been searching for a better water bottle for a while and looked at all the players. First, at 24oz. this is perfect. It is tall, but not as crazy as a few and it fits in my cup holder. Second, and most importantly the lid is brilliant. The hook folds over so it is not constantly hanging out. The cover flips open at the push of a button for easy one-handed operation. And the integrated straw is a thing of genius. This lid is the best I have found by a wide margin.

I was looking for a slim long insulated water bottle. I was persuaded by the reviews and was not disappointed. Great bottle. I have left it in the car all day half full of ice and water and at 5pm it is still mostly ice. I made the mistake before a hike filling it 3/4 full of ice then filling it with water. Assuming by the time I needed it it would have melted. But it was still 3/4 ice. Thankfully I had other water bottles so I just kept refilling this one and had cold water the entire hike. I like the option to use the straw or tip it back for a larger swig. Especially while driving you can sip via the straw without taking your eyes off the road. My wife has claimed it now as her daily water bottle so I’ll need to buy myself a new one. That is unless my son steals the next one I buy :)

Pros - no leaks. Cons - does not fit properly in a standard cup holder, 2 months in and the paint is already chipping.
