Academy Sports + Outdoors has cut 20% from select Owala water bottle sizes, trimming the 32-ounce Owala FreeSip to $27.99 and the 40-ounce version to $31.99. For shoppers, the discount lowers the price on two larger bottles that can be ordered online with free shipping.
Josie Howell tracks the prices
Josie Howell, a commerce and news writer for AL.com, laid out the sale prices: the 32-ounce Owala FreeSip Stainless Steel Water Bottle is marked down from $35, and select colors of the 40-ounce model are down from $40. Those price cuts give buyers a clear comparison point before they choose between the two sizes.
Both bottles are part of Academy Sports + Outdoors' back-to-school push, which is why the promotion lands now rather than later in the season. The 32-ounce bottle includes double-wall insulation designed to keep drinks cold for up to 24 hours, while the 40-ounce bottle adds eight ounces of capacity and uses triple-layer insulation.
Owala FreeSip size choices
The 32-ounce version gives shoppers two drinking options: a built-in straw or the wide-mouth opening. Academy says it also has an integrated carry loop, fits most cup holders, and is dishwasher safe, so the lower price comes with features aimed at daily use.
The 40-ounce Owala FreeSip keeps the same basic formula but adds a push-button lid and leak-proof construction. For buyers deciding between the two, the bigger bottle is the more practical pick if fewer refills matter more than a lighter carry.
More than 30 color options
Academy currently lists the 32-ounce Owala FreeSip in more than 30 colors overall, and the 40-ounce bottle in more than 20 colors overall. That matters because the discount applies only to select colors, not the full lineup, so shoppers need to check which finishes are included before they buy.
The promotion is notable because it is being described as a rare deal on select Owala FreeSip bottles, but the fine print narrows the offer to specific sizes and colors. Anyone shopping for a larger Owala water bottle now has a simpler choice: move quickly on the eligible colors, or pay the regular price once the sale selection changes.
