These are a great addition to the camelbak product line even my 3 year old can use this on our bike rides. Love that they can go in the dishwasher.

Camelbak solid quality

Its just a water bottle, yes. Still, I really like the dispenser. Its leak proof, its soft/rubbery, so you dont accidentally wop your teeth. Ill buy another.

Nice but...

Its a nice water bottle. It looks good, tastes good, and it works pretty well. Its nice not having to open and close the bottle. Overall though it wasnt the revolution that people seem to think it is if you look at all the reviews out there. I had a hard time biting hard enough and sucking at the same time and I wished that you could bite it a little lower. I have only used it for one short ride so we will see but that was initial impression.

Best Bottle !!

I bought the Blue/Silver one. The bottle is transparent so I can see the drink level. The nipple is nice and perfect fit for drinking. I was kind of compelled to order the second bottle from Amazon.com within two weeks again (getting rid of my old bottles). This bottle is a perfect fit for Road Biking, where no time for opening the cap. I never have to squeeze the bottle, all I do I suck for a brief and that works the way I want to drink.

I have at list 8-10 different water bottles but I think this is the best one.

Pro: 1. Suck and Drink. (Although drink flows by itself, without sucking too).
2. Transparent Bottle to See the Drink.
3. Nice shape Sucking Nipple, I love it.

Cons: 1. The Bottle is not Insulated or Thermal. Wish they have a Thermal Product like Polar Bottle.

Finally, a smart water bottle...

...I wasnt expecting Camelbak to sell a bike water bottle. The design is ingenious - it works great, doesnt leak and doesnt change the taste of your water. Cheap, comes in different colors and fits nicely in a standard water bottle cage. I bought a couple and went for a ride. First time I ever had a bottle I didnt have to constantly open/close during a ride. Great stuff.
