Up close with the Oasis Insulated Sports Bottle with the best Sippy Straw Cap
Looking for a quality and affordable insulated water bottle with a straw? The original Oasis Insulated Sports Bottle in the 780ml size has been joined by 2 new sizes, a 550ml bottle which is great for kids at school, bike cages and car cup holders, and a larger 1.1l capacity. When compared to other brands on the market, there were three things that really stood out for us with this brand:-
- Quality at an affordable price
- Two lid options with spares available to buy
- Lots of colours to choose from
In this blog, we're going to show you the bottle up close, especially the lid choices.
Oasis Insulated Sports Bottle Straw Lid Water Flow
This picture (above) shows many of the features of the straw lid on the Oasis insulated sports bottle up close. The lid is currently off the bottle in the open position. From this position we can see:-
- What the mouthpiece looks like to drink from and the size of the opening
- The little clear silicone plug to help water flow
- The internal straw
Can I replace the straw lid top on the Oasis insulated sports bottle?
Yes. The whole top section that screws on to the bottle can be replaced as one piece. On all water bottles, especially those with mouthpieces and bite valves, the lids are a consumable product and should be replaced from time to time. The replacement lids come with a black silicone band around them. You can either leave this band on the new lid or remove the coloured one from your original lid and put it on your new lid.
Can I replace just the internal straw on the Oasis insulated sports bottle?
Yes. As an online store, we have chosen to stock the top section and the bottom internal straw separately for those who only need to replace one and not the other.
Can I buy the screw cap for the Oasis insulated sports bottle and put it on this bottle?
Yes. The 550ml, 780ml and 1.1L bottles all share the same thread and the same lid size. The two lids that are available as spares, both the sippy straw lid (as pictured above) and the screw lid (pictured below) fit on all three sizes of these bottles.
How do I clean the sippy straw lid on the Oasis insulated sports bottle?
Great care should be taken when cleaning any water bottle with a straw lid. You might think that it's only water going through, but it's also saliva from your mouth on the straw. The straw lid and the internal straw should be cleaned daily with a sippy straw cleaner and allowed to dry. When the straw lid is in the open position, it is easy to get a sippy straw cleaning brush all the way through.
The bottle should also be washed with warm soapy water and allowed to dry before refilling for best results.
Can I put the lids and the bottle in the dishwasher to clean them?
No. The lid won't get clean in the dishwasher, and while you can technically put any painted stainless steel bottle in the dishwasher and not have it negatively impact the inside of the bottle, which is always just polished stainless steel, dishwashers have a habit of chipping away at the paint on the exterior of the bottle over time, even the expensive brands.
What colours are available in the Oasis insulated sports bottle?
These are a stainless steel water bottle with coloured paint on the exterior. Oasis have over a dozen colours with three different sizes and 2 different lid options, bringing a grand total of over 70 colour, size and lid combinations. We don't have all the options, but we have around half of them. We do take requests for expanding the range, so if you think we missed an important colour, do let us know.
What sizes does the Oasis insulates sports bottle come in?
Originally the bottle was only made in a 780ml size. For children, a 550ml kids water bottle was added in these plain designs as an addition to the 550ml designs with the matching lunch bags. For those taking bottles to the gym or to work or with a larger need, a 1.1 litre bottle is also now a part of the range.
