“Our family has owned several Hydro Flasks for close to 5 years now. The only problem I've had is with the lids of the 32 oz wide mouth flasks. First, the strap that attaches the lid to the bottle broke on all of the wide mouth flasks. Second, with a drop to a hard surface, the lid shattered on two of them and we had to order replacements.”— patt on Reddit
