Full Review:
I've been looking for a great thermos for a while. Something durable that can store hot and cold beverages with ease and superb drinkability. The Hydroflask fit that niche perfectly. The 40oz capacity fits more than enough water, tea, or adult beverage to keep even the thirstiest camper happy.
Even after a full day in the paddle shop I can come back to a cold beverage in my Hydroflask. And on the cold winter days there is nothing like coming back to the car for a piping hot cup of joe after hours on the river. They also come in an 18, 21, 30, and 64oz model for those with lesser or greater hydration needs. And the colors, oh the colors. So many to choose from whether you want flat black to hunters orange, Hydroflask does not disappoint.
"The Good" List: Keeps things cold or hot. Simplicity = happiness. Eye popping colors.
"The Not so Good List": While I've never dropped it from significant height I'd imagine puncturing the vacuum insulated layer would be detrimental to its insulation.
The Bottom Line: Awesome. I like this product and have a variety of sizes.
