This is one of the most bomber water bottles we have ever tested. At 40 oz., this will last you all day and keep your ice water cold during long summer hikes or even sitting in your car. Hydro Flask 40 oz. Wide Mouth w/ Straw Lid The straw lid is convenient for a bottle this size and makes drinking easier – although our testers did experience a little leakage when the bottle was rolling around the car floorboards. If you are a little more reckless with your gear, we recommend going with the flex cap (link this version https://www.hydroflask.com/40-oz-wide-bottle#92=60) as it is solid and can handle a bit more abuse.

Our testers opted to leave the growler in the car while on a backcountry ski mission near Rocky Mountain National Park, and after returning exhausted, a stout from Jagged Mountain Brewery was exactly what the doctor ordered to raise the spirits and cap-off an excellent day. Despite being filled more than 24 hours before consumption, the beer maintained fresh-from-the-tap taste.
