Great item, needs new design

Rating:****
This is a great bottle. I love the size, and i love the fact that it has the straw. The only thing i didnt like was the mouth piece. It is really small and VERY hard to clean. If you dont wash it out after every use mold builds up inside the nooks in the small mouth piece. Although it is removable it is hard to get inside because the opening is smaller than my pinky finger, and a bottle brush doesnt do a good enough job to clean out the mold, as i sadly found out (EW!). I will still use thie bottle, and will buy another because it is just so easy. I love it while i am driving because i dont have to tilt the bottle or my head, just bite and suck on the mouth piece.

Just be careful to clean it out really well, every day.

Love it

Rating:*****

I used to use hydration bladders for desert hiking, but I could never tell how far 'down' I was on water. Plus, on longer desert hikes with no water sources, I like to carry four liters of water. Now I use one of these bottles with the sucking straw cap, which has a drinking tube attached to it. I carry up to three of these bottles with the classic cap. When I drain each bottle, I swap the bottle for a full one and put the classic cap on the empty. As a result, I always know how my water supply is holding up without having to open my pack to check a bladder.

I like the size of this bottle for bringing a couple of days worth of milk/juice to work with me. I love the lid-it's secure and leak proof and makes the bottle easy to carry, needing only a finger to grab when your hands are full. Wish it came in a few more colors like the rest of the bottles.

CAMELBAK

Rating:*****

I have used Nalgene for years and now with this whole BPA disaster I decided to switch to CamelBak's BPA free bottles. I purchased 2, 1L bottles and I love them. I like the design better than the Nalgene design. It also gives me some comfort to know chemicals aren't leaching into my water.

Nice bottle, BPA-free

Rating:****
Um, its a water bottle, it holds water. Had a Nalgene which was fine, this Camelbak is fine also and its BPA free and who needs BPA, not me so say some scientists and who am I to argue with science. I added a spill guard because I am inherently spill prone.

Nice size, BPA Free!

Rating:****
We bought Camelbak bottles to replace our Nalgene bottles. No BPA and the bottles actually fit into cup holders in our cars! I bought the kids the bottles with the straws and they are slick. Great bottles, will buy more.

I like it

Rating:****

I prefer it over the Nalgene. Not really sure why, just personal preference. I like the shape, the color, and the cap more, plus everyone has a Nalgene, its a nice change of pace.

Great Product

Rating:*****
Loop at the top is perfect for a carabiner to strap to your pack. The wide mouth fits onto my field water purifier, and the bottles are durable and BPa free.

BPA Free and lightweight for climbing

Rating:*****
Clips onto a pack easily and is slimmer than most bottles

Best part: no nasty chemical seepage into my fresh water!

Negative Reviews:

why not a nalgene?

Rating:**

Yes it is BPA free but so are most naleges. Basically it is the same price but gives you 250ml less!!! Maybe im weird or something but when im on long backpacking trips I like to hold as much water as possible. You can never count on that next blue line actually being there. I know that from experience.

CamelBak Classic Top

Rating:***

I use the bottle for tennis. I just fill it up and drop it in my bag without worrying about leakage. Biggest dissappointment is no insulation sleeve to keep water cold and condensation down.

ingram2290611 at Backcountry.com on 08/11/2008

OK

Rating:***

Mine leaks. It seems to have less of a plastic taste then others but it is still there. Once you go aluminum there is no going back.

Classic Top

Rating:***

Holds water w/o leaking but no good way to pour or suck it out like most water bottles. Get the bite valve instead, also BPA free.

Too large for OR insulated holder

Rating:***
Only cons are the bottle cap is not attached and it does not fit into Outdoor Research insulated holders.
