Which Hydro Flask Lid is Best? (We Have a Favorite)

_______
*Update 1/1/2023*
Hydro Flask came out with a new lid in late 2022 that wasn't mentioned in this video. See our video here for our review on their Flex Chug lid!

Hydro Flask has four listed on Amazon, the Flex Cap, Flex Sip, Flex Straw, and Straw Lid. In this video, we review each lid and list out what we like and what we don't like about them.

I gotta say I really like the OG straw lid! The small handle is great for holding the bottle with my middle finger and thumb when I drink from it, and I already use a paracord as a larger handle, which extends so conveniently with the shoulder strap. Having an extra, smaller handle with the new straw lid would kinda get in the way and be redundant. Therefore, from my perspective it's still not the ideal lid and the OG is still quite worthy.

Great! Returned the old straw lid for a flex straw lid.... thank you!

Is the hydrocortisone dishwasher safe?

[farrock]

Can you use the straw lid without a straw ?

Greetings, Nice video. I have coldest water bottle flip 40oz and i want to buy hydro flask wide mouth lids. Will they fit?

I Saw several video cirkul lid cap both fit on hydroflask bottle and coldest bottle.

But I want to make sure from expert bottle review from you.

Thanks in advance for the answers

does the flex straw leak at all? i tend to throw my bottles in my bags with my laptop and they never stay right side up – leaking has been a huge issue in the past so am trying to avoid!

Is it just me or is the Flex Straw much, much harder to flip up than the original straw lid?

[elizabethday]

So helpful, thank you! I was trying to explain to my husband why I dislike the original straw lid and wanted to try the new flex straw lid, and this info was exactly what I was looking for!

I just purchased one of your splash guards for my 32oz Hydro Flask in white, but I would prefer it in black. If not black, then I would prefer yellow. I noticed in a few of your videos that there is a black version. Is it possible for me to receive that color variation instead?

I attempted to email via the contact section on your website, but nothing happened when selecting "Submit"

I have older hydroflasks that came with older style lids that tended to be leaky, so I’d love to get new lids if they are compatible with the older hydroflasks. Can you confirm whether these new lids will work with them? I want mine to be absolutely leak proof so am only interested in the first one you mention.

[DistortedLinds]

mine came with the red thingy on the 2022 model and i had no idea wtf it was, thanks for clarifying!

Can the Flex Straw lid be used without the straw? I'd like the flip option, but be able to sip from my 40 oz bottle.

[karlhelser]

Bring back the Hydro Flip Cap...please.

[alphaomega]

Are we suppose to re-use the straws that comes with it and can i use other straws in future?

[emgeezef]

The second option looks like the only one that actually has deals in it that can be taken completely out each time easily.

I hate gaskets that are way up in the top and hard to get out with the need of some extra things like a toothpick or something. These cups really need to start taking into mind that gaskets need taken out after every single use and washed or they grow mold and with them way up in the top in a skinny area that's hard to get to, most people probably won't clean them each time.

I decided to get the Wide Mouth Flex Chug Cap which isn’t listed here. I use it on my bottle for the gym. My 32oz HF came with the straw, which is hard to get more water to come thru.

[gdowling]

do you have a link to purchase the splash guard? I can't find on amazon. Thanks!

[leenaluvs]

i know the original straw lid is not leakproof but can i still put my hydroflask on the pool?

[ClockitENT]

I LOVE the flex cap I just wished it fully covered the part I put my mouth on. Because once I drop it I have to wash the rim/ whole cup.

[chefjoewittenbrook]

Horrible, pain in the butt to put back together, throwing it out.
