Fill the CamelBak Better Bottle w/Classic Cap, screw the no-leak top on, and stash this 0.75-liter bottle in your gym bag or hiking pack. CamelBak made this bottle out of a BPA-free copolyester polymer. This means you won't have to worry about chemical leaching, and this Better Bottle won't dent easily like many aluminum water bottles do.
Bottom Line: This bottle won't leach BPAs into your water or leak water into your pack.
I love the top in comparison to Nalgenes, east to hold, easy to open. I got the pink for my girlfriend in order to qualify for the free shipping, it was a good choice. She loves it and takes it to class and work with her everyday. It was small enough to fit in her bag(big purse), but give her enough liquid for the day. We had no problem with ours. Highly recommended if you aren't in the market for a large bottle.
So far this bottle is holding up just as well as my old lexan Nalgene bottles held up. There's no plastic taste, but I still don't put hot liquids in it. It has survived some falls, being strapped in a raft, getting thrown around truck and 6x6 beds, and stayed in tact. The .75 size fits in my Subaru's cupholders, too. This plastic seems to be a little weaker than lexan, because I can flex the sides of this bottle a bit.
Write your question here...I ordered 3 of the better bite bottles. All the bite tips are sealed, no opening to suck the water out of the bottle. There were no instructions.....am I supposed to use a knife and cut the tip so I can drink??? Or are these defective?? My old camelbak back pack came with the bite tip already open. Thanks, I am feeling kind of stupid!1/6/09Thanks for the response Dustin, I am going to try to cut one and see what happens. DP
That's very unfortunate. The better bite value is suppose to come with the slit pre-cut into the silicone, you are not suppose to make the hole yourself, so yes, they are defective. Its up to you whether you wish you try it yourself, or send them back for a refund/exchange them for new ones.If this is the bottle you ordered, it doesn't have a bite valve. This one has a standard screw-off top. If you did get one with a bite valve and it doesn't have a hole in it, they're defective. However, if you got the bottle on this page, just unscrew the lid and enjoy your drink.
I bought this water bottle when I trashed all of my Nalgenes for being non-bpa free. I like the size and the design of the bottle, but am withholding one star because I really liked being able to attach the Nalgene to the outside of my pack using the lid. I realize that I can just use a carabiner but that's extra weight and another piece of equipment to keep track of.
The two CamelBak Better Bottle w/ Classic Cap - .75L that I ordered looked like they were delaminating after i filled them with water and ice. I sent them back. What's going on. How do we know they are safe when they look so terrible?
Is that after you took off the heat shrink plastic protective covering intended to prevent scratches during shipping????? Or was it the plastic heat shrink plastic that you saw 'delaminating'?--I have to laugh because I had the same problem. I didn't realize it was shrink-wrapped and I thought it seemed really cheap and cheezy on the outside at first. I was way glad to realize that the outer wrap was supposed to come off.
This bottle is probably my favorite bottle out of the entire Camelbak line and Nalgene. It had the simple design, which is there for reliability. It also has a screw top, which I have found I prefer as opposed to the bite top. The size is still a bit small, but definitely better than the .5L. I would absolutely suggest getting one, two, or three of these bottles.
