I have really enjoyed my new camelbak water bottle. I take it everywhere I go. It is so handy and I know that when I drink two of them I have had my water for the day without having to count ounces. I would really like to recommend them to anyone trying to keep up with their water intake.

This is the best bottle I've ever had. It's easy to carry, easy to fill up and wash. I've already gotten a second one.

The size is great and the color is very rich. The top is very durable, but the initial trial of the bottle was interesting. You actually have to bite the rubber end to get the tip to open and allow you to suck water up the straw (takes some practice and oral talent). I teach high school and I wanted to use crushed ice in with the water to use at work. The straws are about an inch short of reaching the bottom of the bottle. When I add ice, the straw typically gets dislodged from the cover multiple times and I can't get a drink without taking the cover off and fishing the straw, which has now sunk to the bottom of the bottle. If I could melt the straw to the top, I would... I'd shop for something else next time.

I love this water bottle! I've purchased another one of these after I lost my first one, and several more as gifts. It is completely leak proof, so I can throw it into my bag and not have to worry. It also is pretty much indistructable, and also easy to clean.

I love everything about this water bottle except the fact that it is not watertight. It sometimes leaks when I drink from it after I have filled it full. Also, it would be nice if the bottle had a condensation barrier to prevent its "sweating". I use it at the office and usually just wrap a paper towel around the bottom. I had never used a bite valve before, but it appears to be a sturdy material that takes a lot of abuse. I fill the bottle once or twice a day and it keeps me well hydrated. I feel good about the fact it does not contain bpa - that is the main reason I got it. The price was reasonable and it arrived quickly. People have commented about its beautiful blue color.
