The leather handle is slippery and not strong enough to twist & open the lid. I wish I bought a hydro flask with straw lid.

I held off buying my first Hydro Flask for a long time. I have other water bottles and didn't want to waste money. BUT this was certainly not a waste. This has become the one and ONLY water bottle I use and I couldn't be happier. I love that it's dishwasher safe and keeps drinks cold forever. Absolutely worth the purchase.
