Owala FreeSip Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Straw for Sports and Travel, BPA-Free, 24oz, Iced Breeze

Reaching for a drink mid-workout or mid-drive usually means choosing between a straw you cannot rinse properly and a wide opening that spills when tilted. The Owala FreeSip 24oz in Iced Breeze handles both drinking styles from one spout: stay upright and sip through the built-in straw, or tip the bottle back and drink straight from the opening. The lid opens at the press of a button and stays shut over the spout when closed, with a carry loop that locks it in place. Double-wall stainless steel holds cold drinks at temperature for up to 24 hours, the wide mouth takes ice cubes and a cleaning brush, and the base fits standard cup holders. The bottle is BPA and phthalate free.

Two limits worth knowing: it is not made for hot liquids, and only the lid goes in the dishwasher. The cup needs hand washing.

The carry loop does double duty as a lid lock, which keeps the spout covered when you are on the move and reduces the risk of the button catching on something inside a bag. This is worth checking for when comparing insulated bottles, since a lid that pops open in transit can quickly become a problem. At 24oz, the bottle lands in a range that suits most half-day outings and single gym sessions without needing a refill, while still fitting in the side pocket of a standard backpack or tote.

The dual-opening format suits people whose drinking habits shift across different settings, from a slow sip at a desk to drinking hands-free during a workout or commute. Because the straw is built into the lid rather than a removable insert, there is no extra piece to clean, lose, or replace. When cleaning, giving attention to the underside of the lid and the channel around the straw will help keep the bottle fresh over time, since both spots can hold residue when the bottle is only quickly rinsed.
