Product Information

To find the best Hydro Flasks, we compared six bottles of various shapes and sizes and seven styles of lids, considering the cost, weight, usability, and insulating performance of each. We assessed insulation as follows: No consumer health risk from bisphenol A exposure, European Food Safety Authority, January 21, 2015

Johanna R. Rochester, Ashley L. Bolden, Bisphenol S and F: A Systematic Review and Comparison of the Hormonal Activity of Bisphenol A Substitutes, Environmental Health Perspectives, July 1, 2015Since the American manufacturer, Thermos, came to fame, the term has become slang for vacuum-insulated flasks. Although the terms are largely interchangeable, the original scientific phrasing is 'vacuum flask'. But typically, the best material for a flask is stainless steel due to its excellent durability qualities. Look for flasks with excellent heat retention, sturdy materials like stainless steel, and are known to be long lasting. Flasks are more 'smell prone' than 'stain prone' – none of the flasks we tested had any staining after cleaning, but some retained a faint coffee smell.

Stainless steel is also cost effective and helps to prevent unwanted odours seeping into your delicious coffee drink.

Hydro Flask’s bold and bright range of products and interchangeable accessories are perfect for commuting, camping, climbing - or whatever outdoor activity floats your boat. We hand-washed each flask with hot soapy water and let them air dry overnight, then ranked them on smell.Textured coatings are useful – it’s a nice touch to have a handle on a drinks flask but generally, for a one-litre flask, it’s more useful to have a textured coating that provides grip. Pay attention to details like leak-proof seals, insulation technology, comfortable grips, and easy-to-use lids. We dropped each flask five times from 90cm to mimic a dropped flask. Those with large dents that inhibited function or ability were rated low.
