Can I trim the straw to a shorter length?

Troubleshooting
Water flow is restricted through the straw
Check the straw for any kinks or pinches in the tubing, and ensure the self-sealing nozzle is not clogged.
Leakage at the cap interface
Ensure the cap is threaded correctly onto the flask and tightened firmly to create an airtight seal.
Difficulty cleaning the straw
Use a specialized straw cleaning brush and warm soapy water to clear out any residue or sports drink buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your flask, ensure the straw is firmly connected to the cap assembly. Before first use, rinse the flask and straw thoroughly with warm water and mild soap. When inserting the flask into your running vest, utilize the provided attachment points to keep the straw positioned near your mouth. For cleaning, hand-wash the flask after every use. It is recommended to use a thin, flexible bottle brush to scrub the interior of the straw to prevent bacteria growth. Always allow the flask to dry completely while stored upside down or with the cap removed to ensure no moisture is trapped inside.
