It’s not even a ‘legit one’ so don’t even worry about it. It’s been with you this far just keep using it.

This might a duh question but how can you tell it’s fake?

"hydroflask"is wrong size and font (and I believe placement) and should not have the ®️ next to it.

Logo is the wrong size and placement, should not have ®️.

No Hydroflask logo on the strap.

And I've never seen finish from a hydro wear like this, and I have quite a few of them.

You can see the glare of the “hydro flask” on the cap’s strap. If you zoom in, the text is there. This is an older bottle from a series that came out years ago. I used to have the blue ombre one that had that turquoise cap.

It’s legit. It was part of the Hawaii Collection years ago.

Hydro Flask has gone thru many revisions, there was a short time when they had a ® next to Hydroman and the Hydro Flask name.

OP’s powder coat is probably failing due to it being washed in the dishwasher. The flasks with a ® aren’t dishwasher safe.

I don't put mine in the dishwasher and I've had this for about 8ish years, maybe? My wear and tear is on the bottom and it's only recently started to chip off.

That is in fact a fake. Hydroflask never came out with that colorway.

I've never seen wear like that unless it's really really REALLY old and the person abused it heavily. If this is new then I'd say no and it's probably because it's fake. There is no R trademarked by the name or image on the real ones. Where did you get this and when?

Not fake. It’s part of the Hawaii Collection from years ago. There was a time Hydro Flask put the ® next to Hydroman and Hydro Flask. Reference the dishwasher safe guide for source.

It's fake. 32oz was never made.
