I use as a day-to-day water bottle while running errands, including iced coffee, hot tea, OJ. Does not retain taste & still looks pristine after 15+ times through the dishwasher

I started using this bottle on a long road trip. Fits my cup holder in the truck well. Easy to fill with ice and water. works well on the trail, and I really like the solid attach point for a carabiner or grabbing with a finger. The old nalgene bottles with the plastic attach strap didin't last long for me. Nice to know that the chemicals used to manufacture this product are consumer safe.
Right sized capacity. The standard size nalgene bottles (old style) were slightly too big for use in the car or at work. Very satisfied with the product.

Use this bottle instead of bottled water to help with the environment

This water bottle is easy to fill and clean, and fits in a car cup holder or handbag so I can take it to work or shopping. It is just the right size.

This product is great for a college student. I use it all the time around campus and also while I am working out at the gym. It is very sturdy and easy to clean. The lid could be a little better, sometimes tedious to unscrew it off at the gym.

It isn't easy to find BPA free water bottles. I really like the Camelbak bottle and use it every day. It is light and very portable. I am highly recommending the bottle to all my friends.

I had a Camelbak Better Bottle that wasn't BPA free. I wanted one that was. I transferred the lid from my better bottle to this one, but saved the lid for transporting other liquids. This size is great for carrying around. I can fit it in my cup holder even with a Built NY bottle holder on it. I love the Camelbak bottles.
I've grown addicted to this bottle for use when I'm anywhere _but_ on the trail. The only disappointing thing is that I've noticed that it grows mold fairly easily and is really difficult to clean. The inside of the cap (where it connects with the bottle) can get moldy, as can the rubber piece on top of the straw. Also, the bendable straw piece can get moldy and the little rubber thing on top (like an air valve or something). And it gets moldy after using it for a day and then leaving it in the sink overnight. I wash it the next morning and have to struggle with my camelback bladder cleaning kit to clean it. That said, with some effort and the pipe cleaner part of the kit, it does get clean. I'll buy more of these because I love the design (though it could use a side grip) only when I get a dishwasher and the cleaning is done for me!
I just can't bring myself to spend [$] on a water bottle (Sigg - I mean really, that's just too expensive for something that you can lose so easily!), but don't want to drink from Nalgenes now that I know about the hormone disrupting chemicals that are leached from them. This seems like a good, more economical alternative. It definitely tastes much less like plastic than a Nalgene - in fact I would say there is less taste than the metallic taste you get with a Sigg.
