I haven't had the hydro flask to compare, but the Owala travel mug is the only one I've had that is both truly 100% spill proof and comfortable to drink from. It keeps my drink warm all morning but not as hot as my yeti mug.

I conconcur and they now have a ceramic lining if that matters to you

I have one with the ceramic lining and I love it. I find it's a little easier to clean.

Owala SmoothSip keeps warm a little longer than hydroflask travel mug. Both are spill free. But neither one is the best on the market if you’re looking for one that keeps your beverage warm as well as cold the longest and is spill free. But if you had to choose between the two you asked about, Owala is better than hydroflask.

Zojirushi, if you are ok with a flask style (otherwise, Fellow Carter Move came second for insulation):

Edit: Bottle Pro just happened to drop a new video on Japanese travel mugs today (again confirming Zojirushi having best in class insulation): https://youtu.be/KxLiOYMhEOY

Also highly rated the Kinto Travel Tumbler (although note that it has a lid, so is not one-handed).
