Pros & cons
Pros
- FreeSip lid lets you sip through the straw or tip back for a wide-mouth gulp — two drinking styles in one
- A generous 710ml sees you through a gym session or a commute without a refill
- Double-wall insulation helps hold your drink's temperature, and it is leak-proof and BPA-free
Cons
- The lid mechanism needs precise finger control, so it is awkward with gloves on
- 710ml makes for a larger body than a compact flask
Skip it if
Skip it if you need to operate the lid with gloves on — the mechanism calls for precise finger control that gloves make difficult.
How we assessed it
We synthesized this
The FreeSip lid is what makes this bottle click. One spout lets you sip through the built-in straw without tipping, then you unlock the wide mouth for a fast gulp — two drinking styles in one lid. At 710ml it carries enough water for a gym session or a commute without a refill, and the double-wall stainless build is insulated, leak-proof and BPA-free. We recommend it for gym-goers and commuters who want versatile, spill-safe hydration.
The honest trade-off: that clever lid needs precise finger control, so it is fiddly to open with gloves on, and 710ml makes for a taller body than a compact flask. If you often drink on cold-weather commutes in gloves, weigh that up. Our assessment synthesises Owala's documented lid, capacity and insulation against everyday carry rather than a hands-on retention test — see how we test.
