Paravalve High Performance Straw Lid for wide mouth water bottles, Leak-Proof, Insulated, Soft Touch Shaka Handle, BPA Free

The 2 pack comes with 2 lids, 4 straws and 2 cleaners. I was surprised that the straw fit my 48oz Nalgene right out of the box. I tested it the first day and it is amazing - straw works well, no leaking and cleans nicely. I cut the second straw to fit a liter Nalgene and it is amazing too!

I’ve used a 32oz nalgene daily for many years, with a variety of lid formats, and this one has been a game changer. So much more convenient to take a drink when it just involves flipping up the spout, rather than having to unscrew a lid. I like that the straw is wide- definitely feel like I get more water than I do through a straw of standard diameter. When the spout is closed, it really does not leak.A little bonus feature I’ve noticed: when you open the spout, it also opens a small second hole which is standard for improving the flow of liquids from closed containers (like to-go coffee lids). But what’s cool about this one is that, if you tip the bottle upside down with the spout open, a narrow little stream of water will flow out of the second hole - which has been great for quenching my dog’s thirst on a hike! (water doesn’t really pour out of the actual straw when the bottle is upside down & spout open, because the tip of my straw is all the way at the base of my bottle so it’s not getting intake in that position.) I think I’ve been using it for about 4 months with no funky smell or taste, no mold or gross buildup; a substantially more pleasant drinking experience than drinking from the lip of the Nalgene bottle or other configurations (like the “cap cap” - my previous go-to solution). finally, I like that it has a carrying loop- it comfortably fits on my finger, or I can use this to secure it to my bag when I’m not holding it.My only gripe, which really isn’t that big a deal, is that in order to actually slurp up the last bits of my beverage the straw has to be so long that it sits at an odd angle when the lid is screwed on tightly. I initially cut a straw a little shorter, sitting just above the bottle’s base & thus not bent, but it left a good amount of bev on the bottom of my bottle. I cut my second straw longer, such that the end of it drags across the bottom of the bottom; this does allow me to drink it all up, but I have to tilt the bottle at the right angle for the straw to round up the last of it for me. I can tell this has made my straw get pretty bent out of shape, but hasn’t really caused problems. Overall I really love this thing and will likely come looking for another one if/when my current one needs replacing!

While I thought this item had soft tipped valve tips and I was slightly disappointed they weren't, the fact that the flow is so greatly improved over every other Hydro flask lid and replacement lid I had bought prompted this 5 star review. This lid fits great with no leakage and the flow is fabulous. Would definitely buy again.
