HydroCord 1.0 Handle for Hydro Flask Wide Mouth Water Bottles, Hydroflask 1.0, Iron Flask, Thermoflask and Takeya Reusable Water Bottles, Paracord Survival Strap

UPDATE: This company has stellar customer service! What I thought was a product error was actually user error. I did not realize that I had a newer version of the hydro flask and this was meant for the older version. The company actually contacted me after my review and I told me how to find out what model I had and let me know that it was not made for the model I had purchased. On top of that they offered recommendations of their product that were meant for the model I had... and then above and beyond that they actually offered to send me a brand new model they had been working on as soon as it was available. At no cost to me! AMAZING!! I just received it in the mail today and put it on my bottle. It looks great and works wonderfully! Props to Gearproz. I will definitely buy from you guys again and I recommend this company to everyone. Did I get a dud? I was so happy when I received this paracord handle. I struggled a little bit getting it on, but it wasn't too hard. It seemed to always be sliding up on my bottle though and I was constantly pushing it down. I didn't think too much of it though, as it still seemed snug. Then the other day after getting out of my car and starting across the parking lot to go into work, juggling a bunch of things as I usually am, I hear this clank and I looked down in my hydro flask, my beautiful brand new hydro flask is on the ground. Not so new and beautiful anymore. I'm so bummed! I had such high hopes for this paracord and I wanted to protect my hydro flask because they are so darn expensive. It's a nice concept, but it just didn't work for me. now I have a dented and banged-up hydro flask and I'm not putting the Paracord back on because I'm scared to death it's going to just fall off again :( I would return it except that I threw out all of the packaging because it seemed to be working fine at the beginning.

I’m really fond of this product. It’s true, getting it on is the hardest part - I had to soak the plastic ring in some hot water for a few minutes to make it more maleable, but that’s also a good thing because it means it’s not going anywhere. It’s super secure, I’ve seen other makers try to create a product similar with JUST the paracord, and that frankly isn’t sturdy enough. The plastic ring is vital I think. It’s also cute as heck, the color of the cord matched the image which was nice. Because the cord fits around my arm, I can actually carry my bottle like a bag and hold more things in my hands which is my favorite part. (Trying to juggle it before I bought a hydrocord was actually how I ended up denting my hydro flask in the first place). Anyway, it’s a very well-made product, totally worth the money, and I adore supporting small family businesses so I will likely buy another one for my partner’s hydro flask for Christmas.

This is a great product, very well made and makes my HydroFlask so much easier to lug around! It was a bit tricky to install; I managed to do it without warming up the ring or employing any help, but I damaged the carabiner in the process. It wasn't a big deal because I happened to have another one laying around, so I just replaced it with that. When the store emailed me to follow up on the order I mentioned it, and they were so helpful. They sent out a replacement right away. As far as functionality of the product, it is exactly what I needed. Once I got it on I have had absolutely no issues with it, it fits perfectly. When I looked at the packaging more closely, I realized that this company actually donates a portion of their proceeds to a charity that is local to me!! I feel great about my purchase, and given how sturdy the handle is I doubt I will need to replace it any time soon, but if I did I would definitely order from Gearproz again.

I thought I already left a review for this product and am ashamed I forgot to post it! I purchased this paracord handle back in April 2017. I'm not going to lie, it may not be the cheapest but the quality as well as the customer service is outstanding. You get what you pay for. I actually purchased 5 of these handles and they are worth every penny. They were easy to install and has made carrying our hydroflasks so much easier to take along with us. The carabiner clip helps my smaller children clip it to their backpacks and because they now have a handle to hold their hydroflasks with, they are drinking more and more water. Also, I can't imagine how many times my kids would have dropped their hydroflasks had it not been for these handles. Customer service was very kind, professional, and responsive regarding a concern I had. That speaks volumes about how this company stands by its products. If you are a bit hesitant on purchasing this compared to other ones, pick GearProz as the quality is very impressive. I would recommend this to anyone.

Decent for the price. I have this and the ones sold from ironflask.com. the iron flask version is woven so it does not show where the cord was sealed via melting the fibers together. This product shows those on one end of the strap. Not the worst but still not appealing. Still 4 out of 5. It is very sturdy.

I saw this concept when I was on vacation in the Philippines. I'm so glad I got these. As a person who refuses to go back to the car to grab everything, this makes life easier. I can just slip the cord into my wrist and no more hurt fingers or dropping my things. As you can see, it also works for the 64 oz thermoflask.
