Our Review of Hydro Flask's New Flex Chug Cap (Released in 2022)

Hydro Flask just released a brand new cap in late 2022. It’s called the Flex Chug, and it’s Hydro Flask’s first true spout-style chug lid. We ordered one, and we have been testing it for a few days. We’ll let you know our initial impressions as well as what to expect if you’re thinking about buying one for yourself.

i love when companies put the cap threads in the mouth piece so mold can grow in the nooks :)

The Takeya and others with hinges will break. I didn't see any video coverage of the gaskets and how easy it is to clean these lids. If the gasket is too recessed or difficult to remove, then bacteria is going to build up in there and cause health issues. That's more important to me than any of the stuff mentioned in most lid reviews.

For those who are wondering, The spout cap is not attached to the lid to prevent breakage over time from frequent opening and closing, especially for heavy users. The size of the spout is intentionally big, as a small one would limit the amount you can drink at once. Overall, this design effectively addresses several issues.

Is the opening of the chug lid the same size as a standard mouth hydro flask bottle?

[NMS]

Takeya = the bottle "sweats" from condensation and everything around it also gets wet.

Hydro Flask = cheap lid/handle, the handle on the cap broke off.

There are enough aftermarket lids that nobody needs to buy a Hydro Flask lid of any kind.
