I was a bit unsure about a 2.2L bottle because of how big they are. But, I wanted to make myself drink 2L or more every day and having it in one bottle means that you can’t cheat by ‘forgetting’ to refill your 1L bottle! Also, the fact that the bottle is transparent really helps in letting you know how much you have left. The handle in the side is good to grip and the bit you drink through is just the right size.
Did the job for a while, but after 6 months of wear and tear, developed a leak. It’s fine for keeping on a desk or something like that, but I wouldn’t use it at a gym.
It’s well made and sturdy but I find it tricky to drink from as it gurgles and I stuck in air with the water. It’s due to the little pressure hole.
Great to transport large amount of liquid (I don’t like drinking tap water in my office) but not the easiest to drink from due to the size but I use to refill my smaller bottle throughout the day
Lovely bottle, but it’s only for right handed people.
It sounds silly but your only able to drink from the lid at the top when holding in your right because of the way its positioned.
It’s not a deal breaker but the details matter!
The bottle has honestly been very good for the last 3 months until today. When after I dropped it from around a meter height, with no liquid inside, it got damaged and there is a small puncture in the bottom now. Was expecting a bit more durability considering the thick plastic that it is made from.
UPDATE: Customer support contacted me after they saw this review and provided a refund after hearing about my experience, no questions asked. This makes my issue a lot less significant and hopefully, it was just a quality control issue.
It holds water well, doesn’t leak, it’s very good for summer, doing sports and is in the middle range of prices. If I needed a new one I’d get it in the same colour.
Overall this is a plastic water jug so in reality there’s very little to get excited about. I chose the Mono sprayed finish to match a Hydrate Black Camo neoprene sleeve I bought separately. Someone else said in another review that this jug comes with a “cute sleeve” – no, it doesn’t. You have to buy that from a separate Amazon listing and absolutely doesn’t come with the package.
If you don’t buy the separate carrier sleeve then there’s a webbed strap around the bottle lid which is okay for carrying, but is more annoying and less user-friendly than the fixed plastic handles which accompany the metal versions of these jugs (I also bought one of these to compare the two).
The jug does indeed make the comical whistling sound as you drink which other customers have mentioned. This is because as you suck you draw water through the nozzle and the valve responds, making a whistling noise. This is actually a better drinking “experience” versus the metal version, since those jugs do not, for some reason, include a valve in the lid which instead creates a vacuum.
It may be because I chose the Mono coloured finish that I’ve experienced almost immediate wear and tear, but at the top of the jug handle, due to the neoprene handle rubbing the plastic, the paint has worn away to reveal that it is either a black jug half spray-painted white or vice versa. This obviously hasn’t been applied with any degree of durability.
So it’s okay, holds your water at the end of the day but is a bit cheap and plasticky so I prefer (and will more frequently use) my metal version over this.
Its a water bottle, it does what its’s supposed to, but for the price I expected a more premium feeling item, this feels a bit flimsy. Overall though it serves its purpose.
Easy to use and carry. Only reason it’s 4 stars and not 5 is that when drinking, it makes a whistle sound which to be honest, I don’t really mind but can be annoying for others.
It’s a sturdy bottle and decent seal. The wrist strap isn’t removable which some might find annoying.
The lid cap has a small hole to allow the air in when drinking but you can get the odd drop come out if it’s quite full and you suddenly chug from it.
The HYDRATE water bottle seems to offer a comprehensive package for those looking to stay hydrated throughout the day. With its impressive 2.2-liter capacity, it’s designed to provide your recommended daily water intake in just one fill. The easy-to-drink cap, silicon seal, and sturdy nylon carrying strap enhance the overall convenience of the bottle.
One standout feature is its BPA-free construction, which ensures the safety of the water you’re consuming. Additionally, the bottle’s versatility makes it suitable for various activities, from the gym and outdoor sports to home and office use. The use of extra 50g of plastic compared to other bottles on the market suggests a commitment to durability.
The matte black color and sleek design add to its appeal. The inclusion of a 100% Money Back Guarantee indicates the brand’s confidence in the product’s quality and performance. Overall, the HYDRATE water bottle appears to be a solid choice for those seeking a high-capacity, reusable, and versatile water container.
My son is really pleased with it and actually uses it. Sturdy but lightweight. Good quality and handy carry strap. He says he likes the satisfying sound when he drinks from it. It makes a little gurgling sound from the air hole. It has encouraged him to drink more water and he can monitor how much he drinks too.
It is well made but sweats a bit if the water is very cold & makes a bit of a bird noise when you take a drink out of it !! But overall a good bottle with a strong handle
Really nice purchase, bought this for my husband as his old one broke. It has a drink spout on the lid something the old didnt have. Good size handle and has a strong fabric handle if you choose to use i
I like the bottle, it looks strong and durable. The only downside is it that the quantity ( litres) on the side is its not very clear and I wish it had a extra handle on top instead of just the side. Overall not a bad purchase. Will recommend
Ideal for work as only have to fill up once, some
funny noises, depending on the angle when you take a drink, sounds like a bird chirping away, or a whistling kettle coming to the boil However, overall decent, it does seems a bit over priced
If you’re left handed this is gonna be slightly annoying to hold but it’s not that much of an issue
When i drink from it it squeaks a little. Kinda like a whistling sound.
Easy to hold when drinking from. The screw at the top rarely seems to leak. Relatively easy to clean with a brush.
Amazing all round, strong, leak proof bottle. This bottle makes it much easier to get your water in for the day. Easy to hold, I take mine everywhere with me!
Great size, can’t really complain for the price about much.
Recommend if you want a bottle that holds a lot of water, my son loves it !!
Great product, my daughter takes it to college every day
Very sturdy item easy to clean just what i needed to take to work. Very happy with this produc
Great bottle which holds 2.2L weirdit shows measurements on the side when bottle isn’t clear but stoll works I guess when trying to see how much is left. Only pet peeve is that sometimes the air hole whistles so when ha ung a drink at night it’s a little noisy. But overall great purchase 4/5 would highly recommend. Xx
Does what’s it’s supposed to and design and look is a bonus will be ordering more.
First and foremost doesn’t impair the taste of the water. No plastic taste or smell.
Nice and water tight and easy to tell how much water is left and helps me achieve my goal of 2.5 litres a day. It’s an easy bottle to carry witg lots of grip around the whole bottle.
The only gripe I have is that there is a small air hole on top to help it pour instead of ‘glug’ when drinking – But it does create a whistling sound much to the complaint of people in the office!!
Very good bottle but because of the small secondary air hole, it’s super loud. Not ideal for a quieter office
Bottle is good and leak proof but feels fragile as it is very thin plastic.
Hard to wash properly inside the Handel
Dropped it from about 2 feet full of water and it broke
The stainless version is a lot better and easier to clea
Never cracked or leaked for me, however don’t go for the grey as it doesn’t look like the picture. It’s also very hard to clean inside the bottle and I find it’s awkward to hold based on where your hand grips & where the mouth opening is if the lid is on tigh
Started to leak after 2 days of use. Also if you use your left hand, then the handle and nozzle position makes it almost impossible use with your left hand. If you are after a large water bottle, look else where.
The first time I got one of these types of bottles it smelt and leaked often however that was a different brand.
A few months ago I had bought one from this brand and for a few weeks it was good ,came with a strange smell but it’s easy to clean , after a few weeks passed it suddenly started leaking despite having only taken it to work and back home where it had been on a counter.
I thought to try give it another try and I’m glad I did . The bottle is very easy to clean and is easy to carry . The only issue I’ve had with this new bottle since buying it was that the texture on the area between the bottle and handle is quite rough against the knuckles.
Great bottle! Only problem is the lid has this plastic bit which prevents it from leaking so just make sure that doesn’t fall out. Other than that it’s perfect!
High quality water bottle, lid and sip section fits perfect evertime in the ideal drinking position. Used to buy cheap bottles but well worth the money.
Easy to use, easy to hold but due to the material, I can smell off after a while
I have now bought two of these 1.3L water bottles, both of which have shattered.
Will not be purchasing again.
Absolutely great durable bottle, only problem is occasionally rubber ring seal in lid falls out when taking lid fully off. Other than that it’s spot o
Good size, and lightweight. The air hole at the top can get annoying when drinking, but the most annoying part, is the bottle sweats. No leakage, but if you’re making your bottle cold, it will sweat heavily.
I bought this after my 14yr old son pointed it out. He loves it takes it school with him and it comes back practically empty. He needs to drink plenty of fluids during the day and this is perfect for him as it has a big capacity. It’s easy for him to carry using the handle
Been using this bottle for a long time now, it never leaks and has never had a fault with it. I take it everywhere I go and its still in amazing condition. It does make a weird whistling noise when I drink from it but thats no real problem.
Good size if you want a large bottle, nice to drink from and easy to clean, durable and doesn’t leak
This bottle is one of the best I have used. Doesn’t leak, easy to fill and carry, and helps to stay hydrated.
Does what is says it does. The angle of the handle and position of mouth piece means it’s less ergonomic for a left handed person. Only gripe.
Love the colour and form, but after a couple of weeks, it now leaks from the lid. Not sure where though.
EDIT: It was leaking because the rubber seal got loose, no longer leaking.
Great product, holds plenty of water for your daily intake, easy to carry out and abou
I’ve had two now. They’re such a good shape and size, perfect for what I need. The lod works well to allow easy drinking and prevent leaking. However, both bottles have broken whilst in my rucksack within 6 months. It’s a shame because other then how brittle they are, it’s a great bottles. They then replaced it, really good customer service!
The bottle is very convenient for my daily intake as all i have to do is fill it once and knowing that i just need to carry one bottle of water where ever i go is very nice. I damaged the top rubber part as it was splitting and i messaged the team and they had no issue sending me a new one free of charge, this company really does care about their customers. Would recommend.
Don’t drop it while its over 3/4 full. It will explode.
After much research of the wide choice of large drink bottles suitable for gym use, I went for this lower end priced Hydrate XL bottle in black, based on customer reviews. So far I have been very happy with my purchase. The bottle feels robust, and I have had no leakage issues, so long as I click the flip top cap firmly in place. The carry strap is handy, as an alternative to holding it by the moulded handle. I wash with warm soapy water which seems to do the job. I imagine the bottle could crack if dropped onto a hard surface when full, so it is just about being careful when handling. It’s had plenty home and gym use to date, with no issues, and looks as good as new
Purchased this for my husband as his previous one from another supplier broke. He loves it and uses it daily. Highly reccommend
I like the colour as it’s reserved but cool. The bottle is just the right size for me
and I can drink it on camera and don’t care what other people think. It feels
comfortable. Rehydrating is important!
Not easy to clean with standard brushes you’ll find by your sink as not long enough.
Can be difficult to see where the water line is compared to the specific markers.
End of the day though
Easy to use – you put water in, close it, it doesn’t leak
I needed to drink more water so purchased this bottle, fill it up every morning and it sits by the side of me at work and is at arms length and easy to open and quench my first when required.
Bought this for my hubbie for work, cause he doesnt drink enough water…but he does now with his new bottle. Great bottle however the bottom of the bottle warped in the sun…and now it doesn’t stand up. Too late to return it so I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5.
I had a problem with the closure after just 1 month, there’s a little leak, and I can’t tip the bottle, apart for this the product is amazing
Absolutely brilliant, by far one of the best water bottles I’ve ever bought from what I’ve seen so far completely leak proof amazing design bottle itself is light and easy to use only heavy when full of course , water flows out, really easy to drink from I 100 percent recommend this for gym or home use I wouldn’t say it’s practical to use for walking with it anything but for home or gym use 100 perce
It’s a fairly basic plastic 2.2l water bottle. But it had a nice Matt black finish. Easy enough to clean and reassemble. But the strap/loop is a faff to take off or gets soaking wet when washing. The flip-top spout is a nice touch instead of the large open top. But the only gripe is that the top doesn’t line up with the handle in a consistent way as it’s a screw top. Small gripe, but would have been good to have way for the two to align consistently.
It’s a good bottle, leakproof and attractive. My only gripe is that it’s designed to be held with the right hand, as the spout is away from you if you hold it in your left. Who’d’ve thought a bottle could be prejudiced! Oh well, I guess I’ll get used to it.
Hard to explain but whenever drinking water from it the bottle made a weird sucking noise. The cap on it is quite clever and surprisingly sturdy. The main problem with these bottles is they are just a bit awkward to use and carry around.
Only downfall is the whistling sound as you drink (air entering the bottle to replace the liquid coming out)
This is a great product to help you drink more water as well as giving you the time to not spend forever at the water fountain filling up.
My only criticism is that the bottle is not overly robust so one drop or medium level bang it’s got a crack in it.
If you can cope with the heavy weight when full, the Hydrate xL jug makes a good drinking bottle. Good points – all day drink without the need for refill. Easy to see progress with daily drinking target. Drip tight. Bad points – drinking tube not long enough and a little awkward on the lips. Heavy to hold for one handed drinking when full. Fits no cup holders.
Fantastic Water Bottle! We bought 2, Matt Black and the White one, our decision to purchase these was to encourage us to drink more during the day as we both work from home and very rarely get up from our desks to grab a drink, needless to say our bodies were dehydrated, our skin was dry and plagued with headaches, so these have resolved this issue, we are drinking at least 2.6 litres a day now. Bonus to these is that the barsteward of a bengal cat we have, isn’t able to knock these over, resulting in no more smashed glasses or full glasses of water on the carpet .. He has been defeated finally! Doesn’t stop him from trying though. Perfect Bottles for homeworking, walking or taking to the gym. Can highly recommend, 1 bad point to raise which is annoying is that the bottle whistles like a bird when drinking, due to the air hole, but if I push my nose against it it will stop.
Bought this for my partner for his birthday and he turned up two days before with an almost identical one he bought himself. So now we both have obnoxiously massive bottles to drink from.
I love that it holds so much water. Helps when you’ve got a day of back to back meetings and don’t have time to refill.
Easy to hold.
Slight gripe that you can’t easily remove the fabric handle to wash it.
It also make a whistling sound whenever I drink from it which is slightly annoying.
All round a great product, just a few annoying bits.
I cannot even begin to explain how great this product is. Don’t be fooled by some of the reviews talking about its durability.
I’ve had my bottle for 2 years before I accidentally made a small crack at the side of the bottle itself. It only leaks a tiny few drops so not a big deal but I had bought a new one which arrived promptly (thanks Prime!).
The bottle is very sturdy and relatively easy to clean. When you first get it new, there will be a slug plasticky smell to it which I think is standard. Clean this out with warm water, a tablespoon of salt and a teaspoon of vinegar. Fill the bottle 1/3rd of the way and close securely. Shake like crazy and this will clean the bottle out for you. I would not recommend your washing up liquids as they leave a taste and smell with the plastic.
Finally, when opening the bottle, be careful!! When the bottle is filled and closed, it creates a vacuum to prevent leakage. But this in turn makes the bottle difficult to open. To open easily, open the flap on the bottle cap and twist the cap and voila!
Really good quality bottle and you get what you pay for. Will definitely buy again and recommend.
So, I happily bought a second one. It’s incredible how much cleaner and clearer it is. I’ll be taking better care of this one.
I re-bought the same bottle, which tells you everything you need to know.
The flip lid is so much better than a screw cap for work/gym. The strap is a useful picking up tool. Best of all, the screw on lid, ALWAYS lines up with the handle for right handed drinking. The spout to handle angle is very ergonomic. Doesn’t sound important but when full, it would be a bit unwieldy if they didn’t marry up correctly.
If this one ever breaks, I’ll happily buy a third.
Knowing that this is the amount I should be drinking every day, it is easily trackable as you can clearly see how much of 2L you’ve drunk as well as the measurements on the side of the bottle.
It’s design is great, the red carry handle on the side can surprisingly take a lot. I’ve had this full and the handle will pull it up with ease, and touchwood, hasn’t broke at all. I have the bottle on the floor beside my desk and I’ve used it a lot to lift the bottle upwards when I need it. The side handle in the bottle is a lovely space as I have quite chunky hands and I can hold this bottle with ease. Though funnily it feels like you’re lifting weights when lifting it.
The tiny hole in the top of the lid surprises you at first, it does make a whistle but it stops you from sucking in the bottle (which would make it tougher to drink from) but it does and makes it free flowing. I would have thought the click down lid might have worn down but it hasn’t. 6 months+ on and I still have no leakage now matter how I hold it. The weight of 2L of water will not push the lid off/open the top.
Conclusion – This bottle is amazing 😀 Thank you to the designers!
The product is heavy when full and should be handled with care. Also, it does sometimes squeak in use but I don’t care. Occasionally, it is hard work to finish the bottle but I persevere. Drinking more water has curbed my appetite and I have lost a little weight. Bonus!
Have updated my review, 3 years later my bottle is still going strong!
For instance – the cap. Something that screws on with a hole in it to drink from? Right, but no. The quality is beautiful and sturdy, the secondary hole to drink more smoothly is a bonus, the flip cover – which covers both the drinking hole and the air hole nicely – is well-fitting and never had a drop leak out, and as if that wasn’t enough, it screws in at the perfect place each time, so you can drink directly by shifting the weight of the bottle onto your fist. Every time. I was amazed, truly.
And then, there’s the holder which is attached securely and firmly to the neck of the bottle. A bottle made of a strong, resilient material that has withstood everything I’ve thrown at it. Trust me when I saw that I have manhandled this bottle in every possible way, from using as a faux knuckleduster, to being the subject to test the theory of centrifugal force. A new meaning of durability.
Spotless. Beautiful. A work of art, which I use every day and helps me avoid non-reusable plastic bottles. I’m a bargain hunter by nature but spend the extra few bob, you’ll not regret it.
Very sturdy I have dropped it at the gym twice and hasn’t been damaged or leaked. The plastic being BPA free is a plus. Wrist Strap is small for my gorilla hands. But all in all a great water bottle and at 2ltrs it lasts plenty for a long gym session or a day at work. Also flip top lid does seal the bottle pretty well, no leaks thus far.
