Sports reviews of CamelBak BPA-Free Better Bottle with Bite Valve

Customer Review: The Almost Perfect Water Bottle?
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

After using this water bottle for over 2 months now, I have found it quite perfect for my daily needs.
I have the "Grey" 750 ml model and LOVE LOVE LOVE it! The grey is more like a grey with a hint of dark blue.

Pros:
The "spout looking tip" or valve where you place your mouth on the bottle can be folded down when not using it. The valve is strong enough to last, but soft enough that it easy to drink and not hard on your mouth.

It seals very well! When I screw on the lid I don't have to worry about it leaking through the valve nor from where the lid screws on to the bottle. It maintains its seal.

It is super strong and "drop resistant". I am not asking you to drop it yourself to test it. I am just saying it because I have experienced several big drops already :) and though it has some little scrapes nothing major has happened to the bottle.

I have found myself drinking much more water than before (around 2-3 bottles full daily in addition to whatever else I drink when eating meals).

The width-circumference of the water bottle is about the width of a normal house-hold regular-sized cup which makes it quite comfortable to the hand.

It is dishwasher safe - I have taken it apart and put it in the dish washer several times and continues function the same.

The loop on the top of the bottle it perfect to hold it with one finger or if you put it on your backpack like me. I recommend buying a carabiner (preferably a locking one) so that you don't have to worry about it dropping. Here are some options: Cheap option (Price/piece)GOGO' Camper Standard Carabiner, Blue, and cheap locking option LOCKING CARABINER and Locking option Black Professional Aluminum Alloy 80mm Locking Carabiner


Cons.
I was only able to find 2 things that I didn't like about this water bottle.
One can't completely finish the drinking the water inside the bottle through the valve. At the very bottom, there is a little bit of water left. The solution to this is opening the lid and drinking the 2 table spoon of left water.

The other thing that I didn't like is that when I take off the lid for some reason there is water in the lid and "straw" or connected tube which can spill a couple of drops where ever opening it (so be careful with Red Kool-aid:)).

I hope this review was helpful:).

What is BPA?
Bisphenol-A is an ingredient used to make polycarbonate. In recent months, there has been increasing consumer demand for a bottle that is not made with Bisphenol-A (BPA), and CamelBak is proud to introduce BPA-free bottles with the same great properties customers have come to expect from polycarbonate: vibrant color, clarity, durability, dishwasher-safe, and with no residual taste. As of the end of April 2008, the entire CamelBak bottle line will be available in BPA-Free materials in North America.

What are phthalates?
Phthalates (pronounced thal-ates) are a component added to some plastics to make them soft and pliable. None of CamelBak's bottles have ever contained phthalates.

What is the BPA-free Better Bottle made from?
The CamelBak Better Bottle line is made from a new copolyester polymer called Tritan, made by Eastman. It offers the same great qualities that we have come to expect from polycarbonate bottles and is 100 percent BPA-Free. The Big Bite Valve is made of medical-grade silicone for long life and taste-free performance.

About CamelBak
CamelBak is the originator and world leader in hands-free hydration systems. The first CamelBak products proved to be very popular among mountain bikers and motocross riders, because it allowed them to drink without taking their hands off of the handlebars in technical terrain. The product began to cross over into other sports when scientific studies showed athletes drank more fluids and performed better when they wore a CamelBak. Since then, athletes from an ever-growing list of sports and activities use CamelBak hydration systems for their convenience and performance benefits.

In addition to cycling, CamelBak has Hands-Free Hydration systems for hiking, running, snowboarding and skiing. CamelBak?s state-of-the-art packs and hydration systems have benefited athletes, outdoorsmen, and soldiers around the world. While CamelBak has grown tremendously since the early days, one thing hasn't changed: CamelBak still believes in the performance advantage that proper hydration delivers for just about any activity. The privately-held company is headquartered in Petaluma, California.
