One reviewer wrote: “I’ve been a Hydroflask fan for a few years now. This is the perfect size for coffee or a beverage Togo! I love iced coffee so this keeps my drink colder longer and the new improved lid with hanging handle makes it even more convenient. It fits in my car cup holder and not too heavy to carry around in my purse! Please keep adding more fun colors!”

You can see that these are worth every penny. The quality is there. Great as presents for others, men, housewarming, and for yourself.”

One reviewer wrote: “Love it. Have used it every day since buying. Not sure I trust it in my bag loose with the commuter lid I bought separately, but the standard lid it comes with would be good for that and then it easy to just swap it over. The colour is great. Keeps warmth in for the whole day. Really happy.”
