I think they are for a number of reasons:

Best Temperature Control

You know how Katy Perry sings, “You’re hot, then you’re cold?” Well, she isn’t singing about Hydro Flasks. When they're hot, they stay hot. The same goes for cold. Because of their incredible TempShield technology, Hydro Flasks are equipped with double vacuum wall insulation, which eliminates condensation and keeps your beverage of choice at the desired temperature for as long as possible. According to Hydro Flask’s website, a hot chai tea will stay steamy for up to 12 hours and an iced latte will stay icy for up to 24 hours. Now that’s cool!

Taste Is Not Compromised

Hydro Flasks are constructed with a durable 18/8 food grade stainless steel, which keeps your beverage’s taste from being compromised. But what does 18/8 mean exactly? The 18 refers to the amount of chromium present, which plays a key role in preventing any rusting. The 8 refers to the amount of nickel present, which hinders corrosion. These bad boys were built to last!

So Many Choices

Hydro Flasks come in a variety of sizes, from as small as 12oz to as big as 64oz. They are available in wide mouth with straw lids for full-on refreshment or standard mouth with sport caps for sipping. Besides water bottles and tumblers, they also have specific types of holders for different beverages: mugs and flasks for coffee, tumblers and bottles for wine, and even growlers and cooler cups for beer. As far as colors go, Hydro Flasks come in all the colors of the rainbow and more!

You can even customize your own Hydro Flask to be exactly what you want, which will make you feel like a kid in a candy store. Customizations include the size, type of mouth and cap, and color of the strap, cap, bottle, and boot. To give you an idea of the price, a customized 12oz Hydro Flask costs $34.00.

The Company Cares about the Environment

Instead of single-use plastic water bottles, which are bad for the environment, Hydro Flask came up with a high quality reusable solution that is not only eco-friendly, but hip as well. I’m sure the company didn’t expect their product to blow up like it did, but I for one am appreciative of its nationwide popularity, because it has gotten people to care much more about the environment.

In 2017, the company also created a charitable giving program called Parks For All, which supports the development and maintenance of green spaces in America and beyond. Through Parks For All, Hydro Flask donates to 92 non-profit organizations that want to help build, restore, and preserve green parks. So far, $1.5 million dollars has been donated.

Conclusion

For the high quality you are getting with a Hydro Flask, it is definitely worth the price, especially if you take good care of it. They will last years and years. Being able to customize your Hydro Flask to look and feel the way you want is also a definite plus. You will also feel good about supporting a company that cares deeply about the environment and keeping our planet as green as possible. Cheers to that!
