HYDRAFLOWRe-Steel Water Bottle: 34oz Dual Lid Triple Wall Vacuum Insulated, Recycled Stainless Steel, Leak Proof, BPA-Free, w/Flip Straw – Perfect for Sports, Travel and Hydration - Midnight Shadow

This is my favorite spout design. I don’t use the straw side, but the chug side is perfect. It twists on and off easily and securely and doesn’t leak, and the semi-flexible folding handle is great because it doesn’t take up any extra space and feels like it’s not brittle. The finish looks great and holds up very well. It’s light weight and keeps things cold/warm for a long time. And being stainless steel, it shouldn’t contaminate your beverage with anything you don’t want in it. It’s a great value when compared to some of the other more popular brands, and the spout is better than those said brands.

I know everyone is going crazy over the stanley cup, but this brand holds ice for over 4 days. Could possibly hold it longer but once I came back home to get my cup, 4 days later, I used the ice.

Let me start off by saying that I have rated it four stars, only because I'm unable to give it half stars. In actuality, I'd say it's more of a 4 1/2 star water bottle. I really like the design, and the construction is excellent. I personally prefer metal water bottles to plastic, because I find that the water stays fresher tasting longer, and I just feel it's a better insulator for cold water as well. The dual design of a straw and spout are very well thought out. I'm replacing my old steel water bottle because it only had a straw function. Unfortunately after time, the straws tend to attract mold, and as thoroughly as I've cleaned it time and time again, sometimes the mold will embed itself inside the silicone of the straw. That for me is the signal to change bottles, which is why I've gone to this new water bottle. I particularly like that this one actually comes with a extra straw insert, and that it comes apart a lot easier than my old one did. It has a very ingenious design to prevent leaking as well through the straw, where it has to be pulled towards you entirely in order to allow for the flow of water. When you let it go, it will rebound back into its position closing an internal valve, which prevents any water from leaking out. The mouth or spout which you can drink from as well, and is nicely designed to prevent any leaking whatsoever with a screw cap. The bottle is, in my opinion, almost perfect. The reason I would take away half a star, is simply because the flow rate through the straw is a little less than I would like. Although the internal valve does a great job of preventing any leakage, I think it restricts the flow just a little bit. I may be nitpicking a little here, but I would prefer less suction required to pull out a good gulp of water. Other than that, I'd say it's a great bottle, and certainly worth a look if you're looking to get yourself a water bottle, or replace an old one. Also, I chose the bottle that holds 34 oz of water, or 1 l. I think that is an excellent amount of water to carry around, where you have a good supply, without it being overwhelming to carry. Even considering the minor flaw that I pointed out, I'd certainly still recommend it.

I work the whole day outside in a hot weather as a PT and this bottle keeps my drink cold for a long time.It’s the perfect size, it has a handle that makes it very easy to take with me. The color is as pictured and looks modern. It is sturdy too, I dropped it multiple time by accident and glad it is still intact!I highly recommend this bottle.

I needed to have find a water bottle that allowed me to chug and to drink from a straw. This one seemed to fit the bill. It is a great size and I love the color (pale yellow). However, when I drink from the straw there is a sucking sound as if the air needs to be released. I have cleaned it, checked the valve, adjusted the straw fitting and to no avail, it still has that sound while drinking. I am keeping it although I wouldn't be able to use the straw at the office due to the sound.
