Great Water Bottle!
Color: Off Road, Size: 30 Ounces
I was looking for an insulated water bottle that would actually fit in a standard cup holder. I decided to try the Owala FreeSip Sway Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle. Upon receiving it, I noticed that it felt solid in my hand. The mechanism worked very smoothly with a simple button press opening the lid. Once open, you can choose to either use the included straw or tip the bottle and drink from the chug spout. In addition to it fitting in my cup holder, I needed it to be leak proof. This bottle is leak proof, and the spout can be locked by engaging a lock in the back. The rugged flip handle is also a convenient way to carry the Owala when it's not in the water bottle holder on my backpack.
I hand wash the body of the bottle, but the top disassembles easily and can go right in the dishwasher when I want a deep cleaning. The bottle has a wide opening, so it is very easy to clean the inside.
This has quickly become my favorite water bottle due to its ease of cleaning, good insulation, ability to fit in my cup holder, solid construction and materials, and the option of using the straw or chug spout. I have the 30 ounce bottle, but I am going to be picking up a 40 ouncer also. You won't regret purchasing one!
I have used the bottle for a couple of weeks now, and here are my observations: It has gone on two camping trips, and it has proven to be durable. I have placed the Owala on its side on my passenger seat (just to test it...it fits perfectly in my car's cup holder!). It did not leak a single drop on a long road trip. On my camping trip, the water in the bottle was still ice cold the next morning, so it keeps cold beverages very cold!
