    Comments about CamelBak Better Bottle - 25 oz.:

    We liked the first bottle so much we bought another. Works great for the car and short hikes.
    It doesn't fit a bike water bottle holder well. Other than that, they are great for general uses and to the gym. Easy to clean and take apart.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Comments about CamelBak Better Bottle - 25 oz.:

    I've had a couple of these bottles (I keep losing them!). I love the ease of use. I know it sounds lazy, but not having to screw open a lid, or even tip the thing up to take a drink, makes staying hydrated so much easier! I first wondered if it would leak, but I throw it in my purse, suitcase, and the back seat of my car all the time, and it's never given up a drop. It's very VERY durable, as I've dropped it on all sorts of harmful surfaces.

    For me, the biggest drawback is that cold water condenses and makes a big puddle. Also, I don't tend to give it a thorough cleaning very often, and gunk builds up on the mouthpiece. However, you can stick the whole thing in the dishwasher, which is convenient. Also, for a plastic bottle, it didn't taste plasticky at all, even after months and months of use.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Comments about CamelBak Better Bottle - 25 oz.:

    The reason why I chose this bottle over the Nalgene bottles is that they are basically the same, but the CamelBak has something extra: the straw. You can take off the straw and use it as you would use any bottle, too. I chose the 750 mL over the 1L because an insulation sleeve was available for it, which I HIGHLY recommend. Otherwise, with a cold drink, it will condense and your hands will get wet.
    The only flaw is that when you only have a little water left, you can have somewhat of a plastic taste.
    However, the plastic taste is only minor issue and this bottle is really great!

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Comments about CamelBak Better Bottle - 25 oz.:

    I didn't want a water bottle. My husband has been a life-long athlete. He bought this bottle for riding his bike. Loved it and said I should have one. Why should I pay for a water bottle when I sit all day at a desk and can fill up old Evian bottles to drag back and forth? He kept on. Finally, he bought me one as a gift.
    Now, here is why you should buy this bottle. It encourages an office worker to drink more water because you're using a straw. I don't know why. Maybe because it doesn't require tipping to access the liquid. Your skin will look more beautiful and supple because you drink more water--promise--it's better than makeup. The bottle doesn't leak. The shape is ergonomic and comfortable. It fits easily into my lunch sack, stays cool for a long time. It fits on a bike for a ride or hangs on your belt for a hike if you aren't in an office most of the time. It's one of the best gifts I ever received.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Comments about CamelBak Better Bottle - 25 oz.:

    I was looking for something that would help me to drink more water during the day. We saw these and bought 2 right off. We made the mistake of buying a different kind of bottle for our kids. They are drinking out of ours all the time. I am glad they come in so many colors because will be back to buy 3 more for them. I love that it doesn't leak since my 18-month-old prefers to drink from this bottle.

      I leave the house at 6:40 am and generally don't get home till after 6 pm. I can fill this bottle and toss in right into my bag, it doesn't leak it doesn't come unscrewed and it has the wonderful bladder that the big brother camelbaks have. I've been through a lot of water bottles and so far this is by far the best one I've ever used.

        I take this water bottle everywhere with me. Perfect for the treadmill as I don't have to stop running to drink. Easy to drink from and never leaks. I bought an insulator from REI for it so my water stays colder longer. I've bought several for friends and they all love it too. Like I said BEST WATER BOTTLE EVER.
