Why it earns a spot by your side

Drinking more water is a lot easier when the cup is one you actually want to carry.

That's the whole charm of the HydroJug Traveler. It holds a generous 32 ounces, has a sturdy handle that hooks over your fingers, and a flip-up straw that's ready the second you are.

Fill it with ice in the morning and it keeps going. HydroJug says the double-wall vacuum insulation keeps drinks cold for up to 24 hours, or hot for up to 6.

    Made for the car, the desk and the gym bag

    Big tumblers are great until they won't fit in the car. The Traveler tapers to a 3-inch base, so it drops into most cup holders without a fight.

    Flip the straw down and HydroJug says the lid is leakproof, which means you can toss it in a tote and keep going.

    Cleanup is easy, too. It's dishwasher safe on the top rack.

      Good to know

      It's made from 18/8 stainless steel, stands about 9.3 inches tall and weighs a little over a pound empty, so it feels solid without being a workout.

        Your questions, answered

        Will the HydroJug Traveler fit in my car's cup holder?

        Yes, on the top rack, according to HydroJug.

        Does it leak?

        HydroJug says the lid is leakproof with the straw pushed down. Flip the straw closed before it goes in your bag.

        How long does it keep drinks cold?

        Up to 24 hours cold or 6 hours hot, per HydroJug.
