Owala FreeSip Stainless Steel Water Bottle 32 oz 80s Ski Slopes

This is my first Owala and I am more than happy with it. Everything about this water bottle is perfect. It keeps the drink cold for a very long time, I like the mouthpiece where you can either sip or drink. I thought that the shape of the sip part would bother me as it’s not shaped like a straw. I actually like the shape of this better. And to drink instead of sip is nice also as neither part interferes with the other. The cap seals tightly and I turned it upside down and did not have any leakage at all. The handle is also a plus. I can carry while hiking or hook it to my backpack. Very satisfied with this water bottle. I will buy another.

I got this Owala for my son and really like it so far! My favorite feature is that you can drink from either the built-in straw or use the chug opening. It gives him both options without having to switch out lids or pieces, which is really convenient.The bottle itself feels sturdy and good quality, and the lid closes securely and has a handle that makes it easy to carry. The colors are also really fun and vibrant.My only concern is the coating on the outside. It feels like it may be somewhat easy to scratch, especially since this is going to be used by a kid and tossed into bags, taken to school, etc. We’ll see how it holds up over time!Overall, though, I’m really happy with it.I’ll update my review once I find out how sturdy it is.

I absolutely love this Owala FreeSip water bottle! The 40 oz size is perfect for keeping me hydrated throughout the day without having to constantly refill it. The FreeSip design is my favorite part because I can either sip through the built-in straw or tilt the bottle back when I want a bigger drink.It keeps my water cold for a long time, and the stainless steel construction feels sturdy and high quality. The lid closes securely, and I love the sleek Very, Very Dark color—it looks simple, stylish, and goes with everything.It’s perfect for the gym, work, errands, or just keeping next to me throughout the day. Great size, keeps drinks cold, comfortable to use, and absolutely worth it.

The FreeSip system. Being able to drink directly through the nozzle or use the integrated sorbet seems super practical to me, especially when I'm busy or driving. The lid also closes very well and so far I have not had problems with spills.It keeps the water cold for many hours and the large size really helps me drink more water during the day. Despite its capacity, it feels comfortable to wear thanks to the lid handle.I also really liked the design. The color is beautiful, it looks modern and the bottle feels resistant and of good quality.

I absolutely adore these water bottles compared to any other I’ve come across. Let’s start with the pros: you have the option to drink using the straw or tilt the bottle back like a cup. The mouthpiece is covered and leak-proof when closed, and it has a handle that locks the cover securely, then when open, it can be used to carry it with your fingers. I’ve dropped it multiple times, and surprisingly, it hasn’t dented. It also keeps my drink cold throughout the day.Now, let’s address the cons. If you open the bottle with the straw and pour in carbonated drinks, some of the liquid will splash out. (Lo and behold, there is a warning on the bottom to not use with hot or carbonated drinks…so there’s that.) Also, the carrying handle is made of plastic and appears to be a bit thin. While I haven’t tested it yet, it seems like it could break if hit the right way. It is sturdy so a tad heavy but lighter than any other I’ve encountered in its class. Considering these minor drawbacks, I’m so happy, I wouldn’t even deduct a star from this product

I purchased this bottle just to try out in the summer of 2023. It is now the summer of 2026 and I still use it multiple times a week (only because I now have multiple Owalas and I have just ordered my third Owala FreeSip). I have used so many cups—Stanleys, Yetis, Hydrojugs, Hydroflask, etc—and the Owala is still my favorite. Here’s my favorite things about it:LEAKPROOF! This is the biggest one. I can throw it my bag and trust that everything will stay dry.THE SPOUT! Hands down the best spout I’ve ever used. I love that I can sip through the straw but then close the lid and keep my straw clean and not have any spills if it tips over. And then it also gives me the option to absolutely inhale water if I’m about to shrivel up from dehydration. I think this alone is why I now own three in different sizes.STAYS COLD! The 32 ounce holds ice for quite a while. It varies depending on how often I refill it but if I’m not constantly refilling it, it will hold ice for about 24 hours.THE SIZES! I love the size options. My original one was a 32 ounce and is a great middle ground for me. It holds enough water that I’m not refilling it every hour but it’s not huge. It’s great for work and this bottle will be going to live at my job. I just ordered the 40 ounce for home because I want a little more volume when I’m outside gardening but I can’t say much about the 40 ounce size yet. I also have a 16 ounce (kids size) that I use when I leave the house. It fits in a lot of my bags and it’s leakproof so I always have cold water with me. It’s perfect especially since I’m on medication that causes dehydration if I’m not careful.DISHWASHER SAFE! This one is self explanatory.It’s amazing and I love it. There are a few cons though. The first one is that the 32 ounce doesn’t fit in my cup holder. Not a huge deal since it’s leakproof—I just keep it on the passenger seat. But Owala does have cup holder friendly options now if that’s something you want.The bottle also does dent and scratch fairl

This bottle does exactly what it's supposed to do. Yes, it's small, but that's the point. There are definitely pros and cons.The obvious downside is that I have to refill it a few times throughout the day. On the other hand, it's incredibly convenient. It's not too heavy when full, fits easily in my bag and my spin bike's water bottle holder, and the locking latch doubles as a carrying handle. I've even clip it to my fanny pack with a carabiner for hands-free trips to the gym.It keeps drinks cold exceptionally well. I usually fill it with ice, and it lasts all day and overnight.One unexpected benefit is that it fits perfectly in the portable "ADHD caddy" I carry from room to room, which has actually helped me stay hydrated because my water is always with me. (I wrote a separate review about that caddy if you're curious.)If you want a bottle that travels well, doesn't leak, and keeps your drinks ice cold, this is a great choice.I also get a ton of compliments from both men and women on the color (Pink/Purple, Darling Diva). It's a less common color. So, it's a great conversation starter at the gym especially!

So I own the 40oz and 24oz. The 40 is great for long term backpacking or all day drinking but will not fit into standard car small vehicle cup holders.maybe truck and suv. The 24oz will fit everywhere. Both keep ice cold for 24hrs. Just make sure you don’t lose the straw. If you use ice balls or cubes they last a lot longer. Great product and doesn’t leak. I got the black ones don’t care about the other colors. Do scratch over time but if you don’t drop them great value for the money you spend
