Everything at Owala is 20% off. Get our favorite water bottle ahead of the school year
Reusable water bottles have been rising in popularity since the mid-2010s, and once we hit 2020, brands like Hydro Flask, Stanley, Yeti and Owala took hydration and the hype around stainless steel bottles to new heights. Owala makes one of our favorite water bottles because of its leakproof lid, innovative spout to sip or chug from and triple-layer insulation.
No matter where you stand on the reusable water bottle spectrum, one thing we can all agree on is an undeniably good sale. With back-to-school deals ramping up, Owala is celebrating with sitewide markdowns that run through August 9. Its entire stock of drinkware, alongside accessories, pet bowls and towels, is 20% off.
Owala 20-Ounce SmoothSip Slider
After initially covering its launch last September, our associate testing writer tested it about a month later. She was a fan of its leakproof lid and its comfortable patented spout, which helped it stand out among other travel mugs she'd tried. It's down to an all-new low price of $ our review
Owala 32-Ounce FreeSip
While both water bottles impressed us in our Owala vs. Yeti Battle of the Brands piece, we recommend the FreeSip if you want your spout to have a chug and straw sipping option. It comes in over 20 colors and two other sizes — a 24-ounce and a 40-ounce. While it's not at its best price, it's $3 lower than its usual our review
Owala FreeSip Tumbler
Earlier in the year, Owala debuted its cupholder-friendly tumbler that's finally equipped with an ergonomic handle. Commuters will love the versatility of this over $10 off reusable bottle since you can sip or swig with ease, no matter if you're a left or right-handed drinker.
Owala 30-Ounce FreeSip Sway
Owala's FreeSip Sway dethroned its original FreeSip in our best straw water bottle category. What stayed consistent was its wide chug opening, sippable straw and easy-to-clean cap. Our outdoors editor was wowed by the addition of a large carrying handle and a narrow base that fits in (most) cupholders. With this discount, it's an all-time low price in every color.
Owala 3-Cup Pet Bowl
As a dog owner, hydrating my older fur baby is always top of mind. I always reach for a stainless steel bowl since it's easy to clean and keeps his water nice and crisp. Now that this durable pick is $6 off, I'm considering getting one for his food as well. It typically hovers above $25, but this end-of-summer sale drops it lower.
Owala Beach Towel
While you probably don't think of beach towels when hearing Owala, the brand does have one option. It's great for those on the road since it's sand resistant and has quick drying capabilities. As someone who already travels with a towel, this is a suitable alternative with less bulk. Given its size, the fact that it's machine washable and its thickness, this is a fair rate for a packable towel.
Owala 24-Ounce FreeSip Twist Water Bottle
While this water bottle didn't make it into the top three best, our tester thought it was a better option for those looking for something smaller and sleeker. It has no issue fitting in cupholders and would be a great back-to-school pick for a variety of ages. During Memorial Day weekend, it was a dollar and some change cheaper, so this is the second-best sale price we've seen all year. Owala water bottles rarely go on sale. If they do, it's often in one size and color variation on Amazon and most likely isn't your first choice or the one you've been dreaming of buying. With back-to-school sales live and more to come, it's difficult to sift through what's worth snagging and what you should pass on. Aside from the entire site beign 20% off, Owala's drinkware has made regular users out of our staffers and performed well in testing. But if you happen to have enough reusable bottles, consider getting something new, like a coffee mug, a bowl for the dog or even a new lid or straw for an affordable refresh.
