The More Elegant Hydroflask
This Hydroflask uses TempShield, a double-wall vacuum insulation technology. This technology keeps your drinks hot for up to 12 hours or cold for up to 24 hours.
When pouring hot water into this Hydroflask, remember to rinse it out with hot water first so you don’t lose heat. Remember also that it’s best if the water temperature is NOT 100° OR MORE. 99° and below is fine. This will ensure its longevity.
With TempShield, you won’t burn your palms holding your water bottle, no matter how hot your coffee or tea is.
It has a tough construction. Made of 18/8 pro-grade stainless steel, it prevents flavor transfer. This construction lets you enjoy the purest taste of your drinks.
The food-grade stainless steel also resists bacteria and odor buildup. With these features, this water bottle does not need daily washing.
Remember also that this water bottle shouldn’t be put in the dishwasher.
Moreover, like all HydroFlask water bottles, the 24 oz. Standard Mouth is free from Bisphenol A (BPA). And just like every bottle on our best of list, this reflects an approach to health that is a good trend.
This organic compound has been used to make cutlery, food containers, and water bottles for decades. However, this material has harmful effects on the environment. More and more manufacturers today are shifting to BPA-free processes, and HydroFlask is one of them.
This water bottle is phthalate-free, too. Phthalates are harmful chemicals that are used to make cheap consumer products like water bottles. Significantly, they pose threats to body organs like kidneys and lungs.
For the surface, Hydroflask has developed a proprietary coating for finishing its water bottles. With this coating, the Standard Mouth has a nice texture and grip.
Additionally, this water bottle has a narrow design. It is a lot easier to hold than a Wide Mouth model. It fits in most cup holders and water bottle cages, so you can bring it and stay hydrated wherever you go.
Carrying it around or pulling it out of the side pocket of a backpack is also made easy by the intelligent loop around the mouth.
The HydroFlask 24 oz. Standard Mouth has an opening diameter of 1.81”. This mouth opening is wide enough for you to fill your water bottle with any drink without needing a funnel.
Sealing this water bottle is the Standard Mouth Flex Cap. This cap has an easy screw mechanism and honeycomb insulation. With TempShield, it helps keep your cold beverages cold for up to 24 hours and your hot drinks hot for up to 12 hours.
The combination of state-of-the-art insulation technology, food-grade construction, and proprietary powder finishing results in the long-lasting durability of the HydroFlask 24 oz. Standard Mouth.

Great for On-the-Go
This HydroFlask water bottle is ideal for casual, everyday use. It is also suitable for outdoor activities like camping. Thanks to the Standard Mouth Flex Cap’s easy-to-carry strap, you can easily bring it wherever you go. With the narrow body, it can also fit in most cup holders and side pockets.
The easy-to-carry strap also moves easily with the help of the stainless steel pivots. You can easily open the HydroFlask 24 oz. Standard Mouth with its flexible yet strong cap.
As the biggest Standard Mouth option, this water bottle can carry the right amount of water to keep you hydrated. With a weight of 13.2 oz. and a water volume of 710 ml, it’s the ideal compromise between portability and volume.
The entire HydroFlask 24 oz. Standard Mouth, including the cap, is free from harmful chemicals. No BPA and phthalates were used in manufacturing, so it is safe for you and the environment.
This water bottle is an ideal companion for intense and highly demanding activities. The proprietary powder finishing makes it sweat-free and easy to handle in any situation. It is unlikely to slip off and escape your grip even when the conditions are far from ideal. That comes in handy at the gym.
Thanks to TempShield, the HydroFlask 24 oz. Standard Mouth does not “sweat”, either. Condensation from cold drinks is a common water bottle issue. You won’t have to deal with this problem with any Hydro Flask model. The body remains dry no matter how cold your drink is.
In the same way, you can still grab your water bottle no matter how hot your drink is. The temperature inside does not affect the temperature outside.
TempShield also maintains the temperature of your beverages. Cold drinks remain cold for up to 24 hours. Meanwhile, hot drinks remain hot for up to 12 hours. With this superb insulation technology, the HydroFlask 24 oz. Standard Mouth is a fitting choice for road trips and lengthy outdoor activities.
We also like that this water bottle is easy to maintain. The high-quality, food-grade stainless steel material prevents flavor transfers and odor buildups. Essentially, cleaning your drinking bottle after every use is not necessary if it only contains water.
The HydroFlask 24 oz. Standard Mouth is compatible with the Standard Mouth Insulated Sport Cap. With this cap, you can quickly take your drink using only one hand. This cap is best used when cycling, hiking, working out, or generally being active.
Pair this HydroFlask water bottle with the Standard Mouth Insulated Sport Cap and you can easily have a refreshing, ice-cold drink throughout your activity.
Easy to clean, but don’t drop it too much
While it is true that the HydroFlask 24 oz. Standard Mouth can take a beating, it does dent easily. There can be noticeable dents if it falls from a height and hits a rock or any rough surface.
Usually, thorough cleaning is enough to bring this water bottle back to near-mint condition. Cleaning it regularly, depending on what you put in it and how often you use it, also helps prolong its life.
We use some lemon juice, dishwasher soap and warm water to clean it. Add baking soda for a more thorough cleaning and let it sit for half an hour.
The Hydro lask 24 oz. Standard Mouth is relatively low-maintenance. However, ensure you clean it after every use if used for any beverage other than water.
Conclusion
This water bottle is suitable for daily use. You can take it on bike rides and road trips. With a dependable grip and easy-to-carry strap, it is also an ideal companion for demanding sports and physical activities.
It’s also very popular with yoga practitioners for its clear health benefits.
TempShield is a tried and tested insulation technology. It does keep drinks cold for up to 24 hours and hot for up to 12 hours. This design and the food-grade stainless steel construction set the Hydro lask 24 oz. Standard Mouth apart from most drinking bottles.
HydroFlask water bottles fall in the high-end price category, especially the Wide Mouth options. Nonetheless, they deliver long-term value for your money.
If you are thinking twice because of the price, consider how long they will last. Cheaper brands, like Iron Flask aren’t much cheaper but won’t last nearly as long. Whereas Yeti’s Rambler costs much more. It has the right volume and size for casual use, so you can still enjoy the benefits of a Hydro Flask drinking bottle without spending much more money.
Check out other water bottles with similar profiles at different prices. But HydroFlask is one of the best brands and this bottle proves why.
