I liked the product and was happy with my purchase, but was upset after the purchase the rating your bottle has received due to the material it is made out of and was strongly advised not to use. I wish I would have know before I purchased your product. Hope your working on the problem.

I really like the straw! with the straw under the Camelbak bite valve there is no tipping the bottle up to drink, therefore there are no drips of water on my shirt because of leaky tops. Also, the size fits great in the Elliptical's bottle holder...so many others tip over.

I use this bottle every day for my iced coffee. I take it to work to use at my desk as it does not spill. I take it when I'm driving to use in the car. I use it at home. I even bought 2 smaller bottles for my grandchildren to use in the livingroom because they can watch TV and not spill on the rugs. It's a great product!
Love the straw & bite valve.

This bottle is AWESOME for working out -- the soft bite valve lets you drink easily without stopping along the way. And the "coyote" colored one is quirky and cool. I highly recommend these.

I used my camelbak water bottle almost everyday for taking to school, biking, hiking...ect. However, Compared to other water bottles out there, this is not the best. My .75 camelbak water bottle slipped out of the backpack in a parking lot and the bottle snapped in half. I then e-mailed camelbak and they decided that my accident was not covered!!!

Yes, all the great things in the other reviews are true. For me, the beauty is in the classroom. During a lecture, I no longer have to unscrew a cap, tilt my head back and replace the cap. Using the Camelbak, I just drink and never lose eye contact with the students. How cool is that!!!!
Great all-around water bottle!
By Fitness247 from Cape Cod, Massachusetts on 7/11/2007
Pros:
Good grip, Retains temperature well, Unbreakable, Versatile
Best Uses:
At the Gym, Campgrounds, Day Trips, River Trips
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational, Skier
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I really enjoy the CamelBak hydration bottle. At the Gym, its easy for me to grab a sip of water whenever. And its great because unlike a Nalgene bottle, you don't have to take the time to unscrew the cap to get a drink in the middle of a workout. The spout is spill proof and anti-microbial, not to mention convenient to open. It comes with an included straw to attach to the bottle top, but this is removeable and allows you to get fluids when the bottle is not in an upright position. Made out of the same "Neoprene" technology as the Nalgene, this bottle is virtually unbreakable. The only potential negative about the product is that it is diffucult to clean inside the mouthpiece. I reccomend CamelBak's cleaning tabs, or a little brush to clean.
I think this water bottle is great

Good - but wish I could find parts ?
By katjoy
from Shenandoah Valley - Virginia on 11/12/2006
Pros:
Easy to Carry, Good grip, Unbreakable
Cons:
Expensive, Need Replacement Big Bite
Best Uses:
Backpacking, Car Camping, Day trip, Easy to drink more water, Exercise, Hiking, On Desk At work
I like the bottle. It is easy to carry, seems to not break easy. No plastic taste. Downside is that, I have been trying since I bought it to get a replacement for the rubber bite for the bottle. It was too expensive to not be able to use it in the future when Big bite rips. I'm sure it is going to wear out. [...]

Pros:

Best Uses:

everything about this waterbottle is amazing ... but it doesn't fit in a standard waterbottle holder you would use on a road/Mtn bike. I guess I should have inquired first.
A must buy for non-cyclists.
By Marilyn
from Waltham, MA on 9/27/2006
Pros:
Good grip, Retains temperature well, Unbreakable
Best Uses:
At Home, At the Gym, At the office, When going for a walk, When the bubble is far
I have three of these. Two at the office and one at home. The bubbler is very far and I drink about two bottles of water every four hours. I take both of the bottles in the morning, fill them, grab my coffee and english muffin (or whatever I am having) and back to my cube (a mile away). The handles make it easy to carry both bottles along with everything else...
I love this water bottle! The colors are great too!
