CamelBak Better Bottle w/ Bite Valve - .5L

No leakage issues and the bite valve has lasted forever. Great quality.

This is perfect for travel: just the right amount of liquid so I'm not spending the whole flight visiting the small, stinky closet that passes for a bathroom, just the right size to fit in my bag (or use a carabiner to attach outside). No leaks and great colors, easy to clean.

I bought this bottle for my active 4-year-old to bring along to his various sports classes, its the perfect size as 0.5 liter is significantly larger than his kiddy sippy cups thus ensuring that he will not run out. It's easy for him to use and the bite valve prevents spillage or leakage. The bottle fits nicely into his school backpack, 0.5l should be sufficient when he starts full-day school this fall. As not many kids use Camelbak my son can easily identify his bottle and is proud of his "adult" bottle. So far the bottle has survived his rough handling, the snap open valve is a cinch even for his little hands. I would recommend this bottle.

I don't go anywhere now with out it. It makes me want to drink water more often (which i didnt do enough before) and It is amazing while working out or hiking. There is no spilling or dripping while I use it. I bought my husband one as well and he was skeptical at first because of the bite top - but now be too can't be without his better bottle! The rubber bite part has held up since I bought it a few months ago but I wonder how long it will last.

I've always had trouble staying hydrated while at work, when I use this bottle I drink more and feel better.

I have used many water bottles and we still have many different kinds of water bottles being used by children at my house. This is by far the best one I have ever used! I take a water bottle everywhere! This one fits in the drink holders in the car. It fits in a backpack water bottle pocket. It even fits in my purse. You can hook it to a bag or pack. It does not spill. Many colors are available (so no one has to fight over whose is whose) and it is easy to take apart and throw in the dishwasher. My kids really love them too and I plan to replace their water bottles with these camelbaks this year. I am so happy to have a nice looking, functional, nondribbling, non-spilling, colorful water bottle!

My wife has the larger sized one and the kids kept stealing it. They are 5, 4, and 2 and do not have any problems with the bite valve. The widget factor seems to encourage them to drink so I love em. Disassembles into 4 parts (bottle, cap, straw, bite valve) and is fairly easy to clean.

Bought this bottle for work. Works as expected.

Durable and easy to clean.

Bought this for my wife and she uses it everywhere. Comes in different sizes so you will have to decide which is best for you. It's an uncomplicated water bottle - what else do you want?

I got the blue on for the color. It is really a darker blue. It still works great though.

My girlfriend uses it to workout, to take to class, and just for every day use, and is very happy with it. Doesn't leak!

Great bottle. I miss it dearly. It was beautiful! It clipped to my pack and fit so nicely in my 4x4 cup holders it didnt leak (sigh!) If I ever find the s%#tbag who took it, I'll make sure he stays hydrated with the fishes permanent like see!!!

I love my bottle so much I purchased the .5L bottle for my 7 year old. He would rather drink water from this bottle than a cup when we are at home! It's the perfect size and fun for him to use.

I have been searching for a no-leak bottle for my kids lunch bags and they just cannot be found. These have been the best so far. I think because my kids are not very sure about how tight or closed the top is they leak anyway. But they are wonderful bottles. Then I can send them with real juice or even water instead of sodas or juice drinks. The only other issue is they are kinda expensive to just send to school with your kid. We write their names all over their good stuff and they still come up missing sometimes.

i have a 3 year old and a 2 year old and they've been using this bottle for the last year. it's the only spill-proof bottle i've been able to find. no trouble with the bite valves and i love that it's bpa-free now. we just bought new ones because of the bpa and because one of the bite valves was starting to split a little. not bad for using it every day for more than a year.

love it for working out or keeping it in the car so i drink more water when i'm out and about. perfecto.

I have this water bottle in the 32 oz size and have no complaints. This size is great to fit in my cup holder. Color choices are good. It is great that you can purchase replacement parts, if every needed.

Bought this for my wife and she's crazy about it...takes it with her everywhere. Sturdy, reliable, fits any cupholder, and of course, BPA-free.

I love this water bottle! It totally makes me drink more water because of the bite valve. It washes nicely on the top rack of the dishwasher and does not contain any of that bad plastic...loved it so much I ordered two more for myself and two for a friend!

I really like this bottle. You don't have to tip it up to drink from it, and the bite valve is kinda fun to bite on. It's super easy to drink and I find myself doing so much more often. The ONLY negative is that it's a little too fat to hold in my hand while running comfortably, so I need a different bottle for running. Oh well.

I bought this bottle for my 5 year old and it is perfect. She loves carrying it around and it is super easy for her to drink from. It is holding up very well to being dropped and the bite valve is surviving my active chewer!

love it. fits in the cup holder in the car. easy to carry. bite valve is great, easy to get plenty of water from w/out a whole lotta work. no spill. all 5 family members have one. no more throw away water bottles. recommend this highly.

I bought this bottle in a .75 and .5 size. I find that I drink more water when I have this bottle around and I like that it fits in cup holders. The only down fall is that it only took one drop (.5) and the little snap on the straw broke only after 2 weeks so I will be returning it. I didn't buy the 32 oz size because I figured it would not fit in cup holders but after taking the .75 on a recent backpacking trip I will need to get one as the .75 was not enough water. I am not a fan of the big spout on nalgene bottles (I always make a mess) so this was perfect for me!

This bottle is, in itself, not a bad choice. Well designed and proportioned, it will hold up nicely. However, the sizing was an issue for me. Half a liter was just too small. I know, there's other versions, and I have those other versions, but I think it's worth noting. The other thing would be that the valve can get pretty nasty. If it gets left along for very long, stuff can start growing in there or anything like that. Because of the way it's compartmentalized, liquid gets trapped right at the top, and stays there until drained. Just keep this all in mind. As a water bottle though, it functions quite well, and looks great.
