hydro flask's newest drop is small, but definitely mighty
if you’re looking for a water bottle, the micro hydro probably isn’t for you. in fact, it’s not supposed to be.
hydro flask has always offered a wide array of drinkware, and that still rings true. however, this exciting new launch sees the brand venture out into an uncharted territory that, although relatively new, feels like the next logical step.
so, if it’s a highly-functional, fashion-forward accessory that you’re after, hear me out.

the micro hydro (it just rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it?) is small, but definitely mighty.
with a capacity of roughly 6.7oz, a.k.a. 190ml, it probably won’t be your main choice for storing water; once again, it’s not meant to be. if anything, you can get quite creative with it – and that’s exactly what makes it stand out.
i, for one, am a massive coffee lover. whether it’s an iced latte or a double espresso, caffeine is there to help me get ready for the day. safe to say, the micro hydro is already shaping up to be an essential part of my daily routine. thanks to its insulated stainless steel interior, it excels at keeping drinks hot, perfect for those colder mornings ahead. if you’re not a fan of espresso, fear not – the bottle is big enough for a traditional flat white. or some matcha. either way, the choice is yours.
speaking of sipping on the go, the micro hydro is unbeatable when it comes to compactness. it fits in the palm of your hand, which means that there’ll be space for it in your pocket, too.
you can also use a carabiner to attach the bottle to your tote bag or rucksack, saving even more space, which, let’s be honest, is always needed.
yet another great use i discovered, albeit somewhat accidentally, is that it can store more than just liquids.
if you’re anything like me, you’re the type of person who always craves a snack… sue me! but all jokes aside, the micro hydro can easily double up as a container for little treats such as nuts, muesli, and even sweets – filling up a flask with skittles has never felt this wrong yet so right.
Functionality aside, the micro hydro is unmistakably chic. with a variety of colourway options, from the sophisticated tonal agave to the aesthetically-pleasing shade of Nectar, it’s the perfect accessory to don on your bag.
if you were to ask me, i’d say that the micro hydro is the next big thing (no pun intended), and it’ll likely follow the viral success of the Uniqlo crossbody bag.
you can buy the micro hydro mini bottle from hydro flask for £17.50.
