Similarly, soaking your entire flask in hot water can discolor the powder coat.” The reply: “Although the dishwasher will not affect the insulation property of the flask, high temperatures along with some detergents may discolor the powder coat. However, the new slider lid’s drink opening is large enough to accommodate a straw the previous version’s was not.įinally, we emailed the company to ask if the tumbler was dishwasher safe. We’ve tried that lid on the larger version, and it’s great: secure, easy to remove and clean, and fitted with a flexible silicone mouthpiece to prevent soft-palate jabbing. Hydro Flask offers a lid with an integrated straw for its tumblers. The lid still has the usual anti-glug hole, which means it’s not entirely spillproof-we’d never toss the tumbler in a tote bag or backpack-but the slider can reduce, for instance, bumpy-road spillages. The biggest change is the plastic lid it comes with: not the original insulated lid, with one larger sipping hole and a smaller, anti-glug hole opposite, but an insulated lid with a slider that you can open and close. (We measured about 3 inches from the base as the spot where we found ourselves naturally grasping the tumblers.) The construction remains the same (double-walled stainless steel), and the tumbler still comes in eight powder-coat colors as well as three other sizes: 12 ounces, 16 ounces, and 28 ounces. It’s not uncomfortably so, but it’s still perceptibly larger in circumference than the old version.

We chatted up a dozen (or more) people over dinner around a campfire, and they all agreed that the Hydro Flask was easier to hold and more visually pleasing than any of the other 16 models we looked at-and that really mattered to tumbler devotees. But the aesthetics were why people loved this tumbler.

But the material is thick enough to hold its shape and offer a stable base to hold it by. I was worried that the tumbler would be “squishy” when I filled it with a drink. Even with the sleeve, I found it uncomfortable to hold after filling it with hot coffee. I found a fresh coffee started to be cool down after around 20 mins, which is better than a normal mug from home. So be aware that drinks will cool down quicker. Though this is claimed to be an insulated tumbler, be aware this will never insulate as well as stainless steel cups. The inside has markings for 8, 12 and 16 ounces to help you measure out a drink. There is an included straw, which I don’t use. The inside is sleek and very easy to clean. It can hold around 16 ounces of coffee or beverage of your choice. Collapsing it and storing it in the sleeve meant that was no leakage during its collapsed state. I tested the tumbler by filling it up and then giving it a good shake. The tapered shape means the tumbler can slide in and not fall through. This cover is made from neoprene and features stitching on either side. It arrived inside the cover, which is used to protect your hands from the hot contents. The bottom of the tumbler has the business logo on it.
