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.
Sports reviews of CamelBak BPA-Free Better Bottle with Classic Cap
Customer Review: Nice bottle, easy to use
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
BPA free is the biggest plus. A little large for my bike bottle holder, but I simply bent the holder's aluminum frame for a snug fit. A little hard to clean the parts is the only complaint.Customer Review: sturdy
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
thought mouth was wider for easy hand washing, but it is not. but it is a good, sturdy bottle that doesn't leak; and top makes for easy carryingCustomer Review: A little different from Nalgene
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
I've been a loyal Nalgene bottle user for the last 8 years or so.
I tried the CamelBak since I had a friend who had one and swore by it.
I do like that Nalgene has the 'wide opening' so that you can insert ice if need be, etc.
This bottle is fine but I wish that it didn't have the straw. It seems to be somewhat of a drawback but I know you can remove the straw.
Customer Review: It is what it is
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
The bottle looks nice, but not really practical. I had another bottle that had the <7> recycle number on the bottom that may have also had the BPA in the plastic bottle; which is why I purchased this camelbak. But the other bottle had a bigger opening and the twist off lid was connected to the bottle. This made the bottle easier to clean the inside and also not likely of losing or dropping the lid.Customer Review: Stinky bottles
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars
I expected to love this product and ordered two. While the shape and size are nice and I like the design of the lid, I find that, although I clean it before use, the filtered water (which tastes great out of a glass) takes on this nasty odor after sitting in the bottle for a few hours. It sort of smells like a dirty fish tank. No cleaning instructions shipped with it, so maybe it needs more than hot soapy water (?) The only thing it came with was a "Made in China" sticker. (Sigh.) No, this most definitely is NOT the eco-friendly solution I was hoping for.
