If there’s one product we’re always on the hunt for here at Prevention, it’s a good, reliable water bottle. You can never have too many of them—whether you’re dealing with summer heat or prioritizing hydration in the winter. If you can’t get your hands on a Stanley Quencher (or don’t want to follow the crowd), we’ve found a great alternative. It’s one that reviewers and editors can’t stop raving about: the Owala FreeSip insulated stainless steel water bottle.

If you feel like you’ve seen (or at least heard of) this water bottle before, chances are you probably have. The best-selling brand currently boasts over 40,000 five-star reviews on Amazon, and this bottle in particular has a near-perfect 4.8-star rating overall. And there’s a good reason why it’s so popular. Durable yet lightweight, the stainless steel water bottle is thoughtfully designed with an innovative, patented FreeSip spout, which allows two different ways to drink: You can either take a swig from the wide-mouth opening, or sip as you please with a convenient built-in straw.

But the smart design features don’t stop there, of course. The Owala FreeSip water bottle is leakproof thanks to an easy-to-use push-button opening and a locking lid—which, by the way, doubles as a convenient carrying loop for easy transport when you’re on the go. It’s also BPA-free, fits in standard car cup holders, and is double-wall insulated to keep your drinks cold for up to 24 hours.

It’s easy to see why reviewers can’t get enough. In fact, one Amazon shopper called it “the most genius design ever.” Another wrote: “Where has this been all my life? Easily the best water bottle I’ve ever owned. I will never use another water bottle ever again.”

Did we mention our very own editors here at Prevention are obsessed with the pick, too? “I’ve tried many different kinds of popular water bottles (Camelbaks, Hydroflasks, Tervis) but Owala has quickly become my favorite,” says Madeleine Haase, Prevention’s assistant editor. “I love that it has the two-in-one straw and pour-over design, so I can sip most of the time but also tip it over for the last drop that you can never reach with a straw. I also really like the lock system—definitely the most secure water bottle I’ve tried! It also keeps water cold for decently long time.”

The bottle even landed a coveted spot in our Prevention Picks—a round-up of all of our editors’ favorite products that we curate each month. “It’s beautifully insulating, of course (crucial) and easy to carry—no awkwardly shaped handle or (what are they thinking?) no handle at all,” raved our editor-in-chief, Sarah Smith. “It pops open with a satisfying button click and snaps shut just as easily. And here’s the thing I never knew I needed: a straw. It’s life-changing, you must trust me.”

Well, now that you’re convinced to snag this amazing pick for yourself (we know you are), there’s only one question left to answer: Which one should you buy? You can have your pick of the Owala water bottle in a wide range of sizes—including 24-, 32-, and 40-ounce bottles—as well as a huge selection of beautiful, vibrant colors. The best part? Each and every pick is affordable at around $33. Right now, you can even snag the 24-ounce bottle in the classic black color on sale for $23.

So what are you waiting for? Add this popular, best-selling pick to your cart now in any size and color for all your hydration needs—and get ready to never go back to another water bottle again.
