FAQs
What is the exact capacity of this Hydro Flask tumbler?
The capacity is 473 ml, which is equivalent to 16 oz.
How long does it keep drinks hot or cold?
It keeps drinks hot for up to 12 hours and cold for up to 24 hours, thanks to TempShield™ insulation.
Is the Flex Sip Lid completely leakproof?
Yes, the Flex Sip Lid is designed to be leakproof when properly closed and sealed.
Can I put this tumbler in the dishwasher?
Yes, the bottle and lid are top-rack dishwasher safe, though handwashing is recommended for optimal longevity.
Will this fit in my car's cupholder?

Can I use this for carbonated beverages?
While the bottle is durable, it is not specifically designed for carbonated beverages. Pressurized liquids can potentially damage the seal or lid.
Does the blue exterior finish chip easily?
The durable finish is designed for everyday use, but like most coated metal products, it can be susceptible to scratches or chips if dropped or subjected to rough handling.
Troubleshooting
Lid is difficult to open or close
Ensure the lid is properly aligned and free of any debris. Check the silicone seal for obstructions. If the issue persists, try washing the lid and checking for any warping.
Beverage is not staying hot/cold as expected
Verify that the Flex Sip Lid is fully sealed. Pre-condition the bottle by filling it with hot water for 5 minutes before adding your hot beverage, or with cold water for iced drinks. Ensure the lid is securely tightened.
Condensation forming on the outside
This typically indicates a breach in the vacuum insulation. Please contact customer support if your bottle is relatively new and condensation persists, as this may be a defect.
Difficulty cleaning the lid mechanism
Disassemble the lid as much as possible (refer to manufacturer instructions if needed) and use a small brush or pipe cleaner to remove residue from the sipping mechanism and seals.
