Not only the best but also Amazon sells a ton of them. I had no idea about it until I became an affiliate for Amazon and bought one of my own a month ago. The price right now is $22.00, and it is well worth it.
In future posts I will do comparisons between this water bottle and a few others that are sold on Amazon. For now, I will discuss this one, the reviews, the colors, and more. Plus, why I think it is the best.

My thoughts since I've owned it.
When ordering this item, the list above helped me to buy it. I needed a water bottle, for everyday use at work and for travel. Especially for hiking, or in my case just an easy walk through the woods, or park. I had to start forcing myself to drink more water, and if I can at least get a 24-ounce bottle full of water in my body, that is an improvement. Well, this was the best purchase I have made this year. It is inexpensive and does exactly what I need. I like the straw and swig option. I tend to swig more than sip, but I like having the option. I have washed the lid several times now in the dishwasher and it still is operating great, without any leaks. And it fits in my car cup holder perfectly for my drive to work.
Reviews, Ratings, and Colors
The reviews on this item are amazing also. Basically a 5-star rating. Features rank from 4.5 rating to 4.8. The only negative review I have seen so far is that the white part of the mouthpiece does get dirty, but of course it would it's white.
The only negative I see from using it is I wish there was a way to hang it from my backpack. The flip lid lock would not work for this. This little flip lock can be used to carry, but not made for attaching a cord through and hanging from a backpack.
Replacement lids can be purchased on the Owala website, but the gasket that is under the lids cannot be replaced. If you feel that there is an issue due to workmanship or materials you can submit a claim on their website also. They have a limited manufacture warranty.
Look at the colors you can get. Now of course the boneyard and sky marshmallow are the cheapest, but the others are just a couple bucks more.
More items you can purchase for the bottle on Amazon.
I personally have not had this issue, and have found cleaning to be a breeze, but Owala also offers for purchase a cleaning kit. It comes with a hand washing brush for the cup and a little one for the straw too. You can purchase it on Amazon. Only $12.99
Also for purchase on Amazon is a bottle bootie. It protects the bottle from damage, I think it's cute, and only $6.99.
Final Thoughts
I love this bottle, and if you are in the market for a water bottle for work, or travel, this by far is the best option I have seen. Since I have one of my own, I do not have a problem recommending it. Buy one for yourself and see.
