Owala FreeSip Twist Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Straw for Sports and Travel, BPA-Free, 18-oz, Purple/Mint (Minty Horizons)

This is a great water bottle. I got it for Black Friday (so in case you want to wait for a lower price, I got it for around $20). It is easy to add water to as it has a separate screw to add water and to sip/drink from. The size is very convenient for traveling and can fit in an average cup holder. The loop handle allows me to attach it to a backpack via a carabiner so it won't fall out. I haven't experienced any leaks, and the water remains cold all day.

I freaking LOVE this water bottle! It was a little bigger than I expected, but it holds the perfect amount of water for me. I have really small hands so the 30 oz was probably going to be way too big for me to carry around comfortably. I normally like a water bottle with a handle, but this one is so much nicer. I like that it has the string on top to carry around and a silicone/rubber piece around the top, which makes carrying it around easier. And don’t even get me started on the color. 😍 It’s seriously so beautiful!! It doesn’t hold ice for a super long time, but it does keep my water cold all day and the built in straw still blows my mind! lol. It definitely lives up to the hype. I did drop it in the sink when I first went to wash it and a very small piece of the color chipped off, just underneath the lid. But, I've been using it for a few weeks now and haven’t had any other problems. Great quality water bottle for $20!

Solid bottle with some heft to it, which is expected given it’s insulated. Easy to twist cap and has a loop to help carry around. It keeps my water cold for hours, but haven’t tried hot liquids. Small and compact. I like the dual tone color way. I do find that I have to suck harder to use the straw than their bigger freesip bottles and that the cap isn’t as easy to clean since it is made to twist into the bottle.

This water bottle keeps drinks cold (or hot) for hours and feels more durable than other brands I’ve tried at similar prices. The build quality is solid and the lid doesn’t leak, which I’ve had issues with before. Great performance for the price, definitely better value than many alternatives.

Great bottle! Keeps drinks cold and easy to clean. You do get a little condensation around the plastic collar but otherwise stays dry. Love the straw-sip combo.

I'm a big fan of Owala especially their FreeSip spout bottles. I already have the original design in the 24oz and 32oz, I also have the Sway in 40oz and now I was looking for a smaller bottle that is easier to travel with and this FreeSip Twist 18oz is the one! I do have to get used to the twist off cap that's not attached to the bottle since it's not as quick or easy to use as a push button attached lid. It is leak proof as advertised but beware that if you have ice water in your bottle and you have it laying on its side, the cap and right at the fill to area will form condensation (just like the other Owala bottles). I also like how this bottle can carry carbonated or hot liquids (the other Owalas do not recommend it). It is fairly easy to take apart and clean but coming from larger bottles where I can usually fit my hand in it to clean, this one you definitely need to invest in a bottle cleaning brush if you don't have one already. I hope Owala doesn't come out with other styles of FreeSip bottles because I'm just going to keep growing my collection! I love this Dreamy Fields color which seems to only be available through Amazon, it's a very subtle pink to the point where it looks almost white online but when placed next to my Shy Marshmallow (white bottle), you can clearly see the difference. I do wish Owala made a bottle boot that would fit this bottle, I ordered a generic one but it is just slightly too loose but it is still better than nothing since I don't want to scratch or dent the bottom of the bottle (btw, the Owala boots are the best quality ones you can get). The thin shape of this bottle is easy to grab and it does fit in the side pocket of my Baggallini Securetex Vacation backpack purse (you can look it up for reference) and it fits inside of that bag too (that's why I opted for the 18oz vs the 24oz one). The quality is great as usual and it does keep ice water cold for a long time. I do think that Amazon should improve the packaging on this type of item because it was shipped in the brown paper bag that no longer has any type of cushioning and this is a stainless steel bottle so I'm surprised and grateful that there were no dents or scratches when I received it (especially when I saw the delivery guy just throw the package onto my cement stairs). I did order multiple items hoping it would ship in 1 box but it was shipped separately on its own (my other items did come in a box).

Owala has changed the water bottle game for me. It solves so many issues I hate about other brands. It comes apart easily for thorough cleaning, its an insulated bottle, and the freesip technology is amazing. I love being able to sip or chug depending on how i feel! Its common for bottles with a built in straw to have like a weird pressure build up thing happen where water shoots out of the straw, and i hate that. This bottle indirectly solves it by having the straw hole AND the open hole for chugging. There is an infinite supply of air to displace the water as u suck through the straw, so the straw experience is lovely. The colors are probably my biggest complaint honestly. The color combinations do not make any sense to me, and i feel like they want consumers to buy multiple bottles and switch the caps? Either way its just a color so not my biggest concern. The lid on this secures very nicely and I feel very confident slinging it around by the loop handle. I got this one specifically because its skinny enough to fit in my cup holders and in my backpack bottle pocket. The 24oz seems like the perfect amount for me. Especially since there are multiple bottle refill stations on campus accessible to me. overall great bottle for a very very very great price compared to other brands.....

Great hiking, walking and travel size. Keeps drinks cold and great ice retention
