As a millennial, clips from Hilary Duff’s tour are dominating my social media feed. I love every one of her ’00s-coded outfits and was excited to spot one of my go-to products with her on stage.

In a fan video, Duff looked effortlessly cool in her baggy jeans and graphic T-shirt, but what caught my eye was her brightly colored Owala FreeSip 32-Ounce Water Bottle, which I also own. While you may not think of a water bottle as an accessory, I am rarely more than an arm’s reach away from mine, and it seems Duff is on the same page, as she’s been spotted carrying the hydration essential regularly. Even better, I found her exact bottle at REI.

Though I have not headlined a national tour, I understand why Duff is keeping her Owala close for the demanding show. The genius hidden straw, which is housed inside the bottle unlike other popular designs, makes taking a swig of water a breeze, which I appreciate in workout classes or when I’m on the go. You don’t need to remove the top to fill it, either, thanks to the large spout. Plus, its vacuum-sealed stainless steel construction keeps drinks ice-cold for up to 24 hours. 

I bought my first Owala bottle last summer after relying on a Stanley for years. While the Stanley kept my water cold, it kept tipping over and spilling everywhere. My Owala has never leaked. When commuting, I throw it in my bag alongside my laptop without a worry because I am confident in the airtight seal. I love it so much that I bought it in the 24-ounce and 40-ounce sizes and found they look as good as new, even after more than a year of daily use. Bonus: These bottles can be cleaned in the dishwasher for easy upkeep.

Duff and I are far from the only fans of this water bottle. It has more than 11,000 five-star ratings on REI’s website, with one person calling it their “new favorite bottle,” because they fill it early in the morning and their “water is still chilled by the end of the day.” They added that the straw “works like a charm” and “far surpasses” other reusable options. Another shopper who is a nurse said this is “life-changing” for staying hydrated during 13-hour shifts, because it can slip under their mask.

Match Duff and grab an Owala water bottle for yourself. Ahead, shop more popular picks from REI.
