Introduction: The FreeSip Revolution
FreeSip spout merges two styles of sipping—smooth straw drinking for daily hydration and a chug opening for rapid fluid consumption—without the need to change lids.This solves a common complaint: regular bottles force you to choose between a straw or chug opening, but Owala's design brings both together in one leak‑proof lid.
In‑Depth Look at the Patented Spout Mechanism
In Straw Mode, an integrated silicone straw flips up under the hygienic cover, keeping dust out while you drink.Switching to Chug Mode, the spout flips out of the way to reveal a wide-open rimmed-in shape for your lips—exactly what you need after an intense workout.
A locking carry loop keeps the lid shut while in transit and serves as a handle, delivering zero leaks through backpacks or car cup holders.
Insulation & Temperature Retention
The three-layer stainless-steel construction of the bottle uses vacuum insulation to keep beverages cold for as long as 24 hours—only a 13 °F rise over that period in lab tests.In head-to-head comparisons with premium brands like Hydro Flask and Yeti, the Owala FreeSip remained within 2 °F of top performers for 8 hours, showing its thermal performance.
Build Quality & Durability
In‑house drop testing and customer opinions confirm the moving parts of FreeSip's lid can tolerate day-to-day wear—no leaks or cracking even when dropped accidentally.
Size & Style Options
Owala comes in four sizes—19 oz, 24 oz, 32 oz, and 40 oz—to contain your gym visit, office workday, or backpack.Colorways range from pale "Sleepy Lavender" to bright "Tangy Tango," and Target exclusives such as "Gingham Getaway" with Magnolia by Joanna Gaines.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Deep clean the FreeSip spout by disassembling the straw and soaking each component in warm water with EcoBrite™ tablets for 5–10 minutes prior to rinsing thoroughly.While straw and lid components are top‑rack dishwasher safe, hand washing maintains the body finish intact and also dents.
