Water bottles compared: Owala, Hydro Flask and YETI

Insulated bottles have become an everyday essential, and three American brands lead the way. Here's how they differ.

Owala FreeSip

The Owala FreeSip is the one everyone's talking about. Its clever lid lets you sip through a built-in straw or tip it back and swig, and it locks for your bag. It comes in lots of colourways, and a silicone boot protects the base. For kids, try the Owala Kids Tumbler.

Hydro Flask

A classic for a reason. The Hydro Flask Wide Flex Cap has a wide mouth that's easy to fill with ice and clean, and keeps drinks cold for hours.

YETI

Built tough. The YETI Yonder is a lightweight, leakproof option that's great for the gym.

Which one?

Choose Owala if you want two ways to drink and a bag-proof lid, Hydro Flask for easy cleaning and ice, and YETI for durability. Browse all our bottles in Kitchen & bottles.
