Just got one of these. I'd been using a generic plastic bottle for years. I'm loving this bottle and wish I had it years ago. I wasn't even particularly worried about the insulation but it delivers. Just so nice to know that water's going to be nicely chilled. I doubt I'll ever need to find out if it really lasts 24 hours but it stays cold as long as my water's in there. But the game changer for me is that spout. It's just so simple when you think about it but it just works so well.

Sold , I would like dis bottle

Hey! Hope you got some value from this super short video. Here is a link for the water bottle - amzn.to/4aU3ED3

Two issues with Owala water bottles: 1) The exterior surface is slippery as a mother if it gets even a slight amount of liquid on it which is bound to happen when filling. I returned it for this reason alone. Infuriating slipperiness. I was thinking of buying latex tubing to tie on a two-ended handle to slip my hand in, etc. but I just went with the Contigo lock-top 32 oz. and Coleman 40-oz lock-top, neither of which are slippery when wet. The Coleman doesn't seem to retain cold as long as the Contigo and it does seem a Stanley handle would be nice (along with the narrowed base for car cup holders). 2) The plastics in the lid are cheaper and retain odors. I got a two-pack from Costco and one lid retained a muted and unpleasant Earl Grey Tea scent and the other got a sort of musty scent to it, not sure from what, but opening the bottle after washing it presented the smell of something you'd expect to find at a thrift store, not less than a month old and properly cared for and washed.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing your experiences. I've personally had none of those issues. I actually just got the bottle wet to see if would make it difficult to hold and there doesn't seem to be an issue. I've also never experienced any weird scents. Did you buy the Owala free-sip? Maybe there is a difference between the ones sent to the UK and the US. Such a shame. I hope you find a good one soon that's right for you :)

The perfect "big" waterbottle would actually be those "Simply Grapefruit" bottles, with the narrow neck and wider base. If only they weren't plastic. A plain steel one would be great, no need for vacuum-double wall either, the shape is great for large volume. In the same size as the juices but also maybe a taller one, same footprint. Nothing fancy for the lid, but a lanyard so it can hang off the side while drinking so it could be a one-handed affair.

@@tristbrook There might even be a difference in the two-pack versions for Costco or bigbox stores. It was definitely the FreeSip. The plastics used it in seemed to be of a slightly lower quality/density (hard to say, like variance between car interiors, some seem "cheaper") The exterior surface has a fine small-grain dapple to it, and when wet it's a real bear to keep it from slipping through my fingers. The Coleman bottle has a similar texture, but no slippage. (This one: "FreeFlow AUTOSEAL® 40 oz Stainless Steel Water Bottle") It felt like some kind of prank, like "how could they DO this to me?" XD

@@tristbrooknah king you did a great job and the Owala is a solid product. Some folks just don’t clean their product properly

We need an update on the Owala! I've been using mine for a couple of days and I like it. Would love to hear your opinion after almost a month!

It does have a carry handle built into the lid. It's shown very briefly at 02:08 🙂
