Contigo Luxe Autoseal for $36: What makes the Contigo “automated” is a button on the aspect of the lid that opens the sippin’ gap. There’s a lock to forestall the button from opening the opening too. With or with out the lock activated, the Contigo by no means leaked a single drop. Of all of the tumblers and bottles I’ve examined, that is the simplest to achieve down and shortly use one-handed.

The stainless-steel rim makes it nicer to sip from than rivals’ mugs, and it comes with Hydro Flask’s typical drip-proof lid and bomber-tough powder coating that’s practically unimaginable to scratch. However it’s extra at residence on a desk than at a campsite or in a automobile’s cupholder, which it might probably’t match into.
