- This is a great product and I have been using this bottle for years.
- This item is Camelbak 21 ounce water bottle. The special feature here is the insulated nature of the bottle.
- The design is really meant for a bike cage, though I use these types of bottles for fitness purposes beyond biking.
- I tested it against my 24 ounce insulated CamelBak and the difference was negligible.
- There is a twist top to open it, which is actually pretty stiff, so it won't open on accident, and then there is a valve inside which requires some pressure to push water through.
- Overall, solid water bottle for the price. Materials feel sturdy, nozzle is rubbery, semi-soft, and comfortable.
- Have not had problems with fungus in the bite valve, despite using sugar materials in the drinks.
- love these bottles because of the fact that they deliver a large volume of water with little effort yet the liquid will not spill if the bottle is tipped over. I
- My husband loves his bottle water, nice colors, strong material. Really great product
- One problem is the plastic material retains the aroma of the drink (orange) even with vigorous washing.
- It definitely does keep a drink cold for a noticeably longer period than many water bottles I've used in the past, but there are many these days which are every bit as good as this one.
- Too tall and hard to squeeze
- My overall impression of this bottle, which I ordered specifically to use as a bicycling hydration bottle is only so-so. I really wish it had a cap and that the twist open/close mouthpiece was not so difficult to work.
- Other than that, this is an excellent bottle. You can suck on the nozzle to drink or just simply squeeze the bottle.
- Dishwasher safe, but the inner liner deforms if run through the top rack of the dishwasher
- My kids even threw them in the dishwasher and they were great still. We will be getting more for sure and would be a great coach gift too!
- The mouth piece is now removeable for easy cleaning, and they are no dishwasher safe.
- It has made it through the dishwasher without any issues and is also very easy to clean by hand.
- It is nice to know that the bottle is BPA-free and BPS-free, but the smell (chemicals?) can't be much better.
- Black mold grows inside even after cleaning and going thru the dishwasher.
