Advanced construction includes an articulated back panel that maximizes external airflow, avoiding trapped body heat or transfer to the water inside.

Ultralight Titanium 21 oz bottle, and Lightweight 32 & 24 oz bottles

Trail Series Bottles

Their new lightweight Trail Series was designed for hiking and backpacking. The collection includes the 21 oz Ultralight Titanium Standard Mouth bottle, and the 24 and 32 oz Lightweight Wide Mouth bottles. All products within the Trail Series feature Hydro Flask’s TempShield double-wall vacuum insulation to keep cold drinks cold for up to 24 hours and hot drinks piping hot for up to 6. The Ultralight Titanium weighs 35% less than its inline counterparts while the Lightweight comes in at 25% lighter. Also, the bodies are skinnier, so they go into and out of packs much easier.

The premium titanium Flex Cap features a leakproof design and flexible perforated strap with titanium pivots to minimize extra weight. At the same time, the bottle’s modern silhouette includes a rounded bottom and premium titanium finish. The 21 oz Trail Series Ultralight Titanium Standard Mouth bottle will retail for $100.

The 24 oz and 32 oz Trail Series Lightweight Wide Mouth bottles utilize 18/8 pro-grade stainless steel, which protects the contents against flavor transfer, breakage, and the effects of heat and light. Each bottle’s innovative construction features tapered walls that are thinner up top to save weight, while thicker on the bottom for increased durability. Paired with a wide mouth design for faster fill, the leakproof Flex Cap is equipped with a flexible perforated strap and aluminum pivots for an even lighter carry, as well as built-in Honeycomb Insulation for additional temperature control. The 24 oz and 32 oz Trail Series Lightweight Wide Mouth bottles will be available in three earth tone finishes, Obsidian, Clay, and Slate. They will retail for $44.95 and $49.95, respectively.

Flex Sip Lid

Flex Sip Lid

The new Flex Sip Lid utilizes a twist opening design and has its functional Flex carry strap. It pours exceptionally well, making for much more delightful sipping, and it doesn’t leak. After using a beta version for almost a year, I much prefer the Flex Sip Lid better than the default Flip Lid since it sipped more effectively and had the carry strap.
