I was really excited to receive this bottle as an upgrade to my daily water vessel! I filled it up, put it in my backpack, and went off to work. Arriving at the office, I bent down to fix my shoe, and out tumbled my Hydro Flask onto the parking lot. Surely not a big deal - my previous water bottle had been subjected to worse a hundred times with minimal scratching to show for it. Wrong! Massive dent, before I had even taken my first sip. I expected a little bit more robustness and durability. That being said, the water inside my warped bottle was kept cold.
Great bottle. Easy to get my ice inside and keeps ice for very long time. Lid takes effort to remove, which is mostly a bonus since that’s what keeps it from leaking (but may be a problem for a person with reduced strength)
