16-Ounce Coffee Flask with Flex Sip™ Lid

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the wide mouth bottle. Allows me to gulp down more and easy to clean. Yet perfect size to carry around.

Found what I was looking for at a price I was comfortable with to purchase.

The bottle itself is great, high quality. I have used Hydro Flask bottles from the early days c. 2011 The flex sip lid, however, quickly develops a leak. There is a strong warranty policy, but the warranty process to receive a replacement is burdensome-- they ask for a bunch of photos as well as repeatedly asking the same information to be resent that was already in the provided, and overall takes quite some time to process. Would I continue to use and buy hydro flask? Yes, probably. The bottle itself is very good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so sad when I lost my 4 year old hydroflask this summer! It was the only travel mug I'd ever found that didn't leak coffee, so I used it every day, for years. I bought two new hydroflasks, even though they had this new lid design. One of the two lids was fine at first but started leaking after 3 weeks. I have now switched to using the second lid only, but this week i noticed a small amount along the seams when I tilted it for use. . i am so disappointed. My previous experience had been nothing but spectacular. Now I have two new expensive travel mugs as leaky as all the others I paid less for.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great warranty service. I'm sure it will be great the first time I use it.

The leaking issue is from a thin clear gasket on the inside of the bottom portion of the lid that rests on the top of the cup. This is NOT the larger red/orange gasket on the inside of the disassembled lid. If you take the lid off, turn it upside down and look in, you will see a thin clear/opaque rubber gasket. When taking off the lid to fill the cup, it sometimes falls out. It's hard to see on the counter because it is clear. So when you fill your cup up, and screw the lid back on, if that little clear ring has fallen out on the counter or the floor, coffee will leak out between the the lid and the rim of the coffee cup (no matter how tight you have screwed the lid back on. As long as I am careful to watch for this and put it back in when it falls out, there are no leaking problems.
