A new favorite has arrived in the water bottle world: the HydroJug 40oz Traveler gets retro stripes, and even UO has sold out online
You need to get on board with this new water bottle trend š¤©
Summary
- Large capacity and insulation: HydroJug Traveler offers a practical 40 oz capacity and uses 18/8 food-grade stainless steel with triple-wall vacuum insulation.
- Leakproof and easy to carry: The lid has a built-in flip-up round straw and is completely leakproof, while the 9.8-inch-long, 6-inch-wide tapered base slides easily into most car cup holders.
- Bestselling exclusive style: The retro stripe āStriped Outā design, created in collaboration with Urban Outfitters, is currently selling so well on the official site that itās out of stock, and youāll need to join the waitlist.
- Easy to clean: All parts of the bottle are dishwasher safe. Standard colors like Berry Pop are priced at US$ 44.99.
If you’ve noticed that people on the street aren’t all carrying the same Owala anymore, don’t be too surprised. Over the past few months, attention in the water bottle world has quietly shifted to another brand: HydroJug. Rather than choosing styles with an especially high chance of matching someone else’s, people are looking for options with a large capacity, true leak protection, and a look that fits into everyday outfits.

Why is everyone switching to HydroJug?
There are plenty of water bottles on the market that hold a generous 40 oz, but taking one out often comes with two pain points: It either won’t fit in your car’s cup holder, or water seeps out through the straw opening as soon as it tips over.
The HydroJug Traveler tumbler addresses these issues directly. Made with 18/8 stainless steel and triple-wall insulation, it still fits most car cup holders thanks to its specially tapered base, even with a 40 oz capacity. It measures 9.8 inches tall and 6 inches wide. The lid also features a fully leakproof concealed flip straw, so even if you accidentally knock it over on the passenger seat, you won’t be left with a disaster to clean up.
The everyday aesthetic of UO-exclusive prints
Functionality may be the baseline, but what has truly made it the new trend to replace old favorites is its recent exclusive collection with Urban Outfitters. Moving beyond the neon hues and plain solid colors common on sports water bottles, UO has introduced designs with a distinctly retro feel.
The Striped Out version in particular has a touch of laid-back French charm, softening the somewhat bulky, rugged silhouette of a 40 oz water bottle. It’s noticeably more fashionable than other options in the same price range, so it’s no surprise it sold out quickly after launching.
How do you clean it every day?
For a tumbler you use every day, ease of cleaning is key to whether you’ll keep loving it over time. The brand has considered that, too: Every component is made from food-safe materials and is fully dishwasher-safe, saving you much of the hassle of hand-washing.
Regular colors, including Berry Pop, are currently available on the official website for US$ 44.99. For the highly popular UO-exclusive striped and polka-dot collections, you’ll currently need to join the waitlist on the Urban Outfitters website.
