      Comments about CamelBak Better Bottle with Classic Cap - 25 oz.:

      I love this bottle! It's BPA free, which is HUGE! If you have an old Camelbak with a sipper, you can put that on this bottle.

      - Solid construction
      - Nice handle
      - 1 full-twist cap, very nice!

      It's made of a co-polymer, so you don't have to worry about leaching... and you don't have to go to stainless steel (steel taste?, more expensive), alumnium (easily dented), or glass (heavy and breakable).

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        Comments about CamelBak Better Bottle with Classic Cap - 25 oz.:

        Come on, how can you get excited about water bottles that have been around for a long time? I purchased one of these bottles to replace the old pull top bike water bottle that I have had at work for a long time since I thought this looks a bit more professional. To my surprise there are features with this I never considered that make it great: no spilling, no dribbling down my front as I take a swig, no tilting of the bottle to take a swig, no squeezing or noise as air rushes back in after a long swig.
        Very impressed - nice job Camelbak. This may revolutionize the water bottle.

          Comments about CamelBak Better Bottle with Classic Cap - 25 oz.:

          This bottle is good for everyday use; it's rugged and takes abuse in sports bags well, insulated just enough to keep ice water temperature for a while, orange color is nice and bright, BPA free (as stated on bottle), nice weight, loop hole is convenient, and made by a good company. Not too much wrong with this product as far as I'm concerned.

          Comments about CamelBak Better Bottle with Classic Cap - 25 oz.:

          The size is great althought I must say the 32oz is the way to go. But I bought 8 of these for my family. One goes in my office and likewise for the wife. They fit better than other brands in our backpacks, or whatever we use. Easy to hold too. The best part is when you use a biner and hook it on to your belt. The bottle configuration does not bounce around as you walk. It seems more stable than others. BPA free too!

            Comments about CamelBak Better Bottle with Classic Cap - 25 oz.:

            I had this bottle once, and I lost it. I bought the same one because I love it so much. It's just the right size around to hold, but still big enough to hold lots of water. The only downfall as far as design is that the lid is not attached. This is easily fixed with a bit of yarn and duct tape. :) At least now I can easily spot my own bottle. And it fits in my bike bottle holder. A little snug, but enough well enough for me to carry it!

            And as far as the "ugly white sticker" goes, that sticker is attached to the plastic that is wrapped around the water bottle, the plastic you remove before use. So it is still aesthetically pleasing.

                I think it's great. I had no sticker on mine the sticker was on the plastic film that was around the bottle. I switched from a Nalgene and I couldn't be happier.

                  Comments about CamelBak Better Bottle with Classic Cap - 25 oz.:

                  After a ton of research, this is what I purchased. Here's why.
                  Sigg - can't put ice in it.
                  Klean -some complain of metalic taste
                  Nalgene - most are too big to fit in drink holder
                  One with a built in straw - straw will get disgusting and you can't clean it. Some complain of rubber taste.

                  I know you wish you could have a Sigg because it looks cool, but this will save you money and it works better. It just sweats a little (doesn't drip) with ice cubes in it so don't leave it on wood surfaces. I filled with water and held upside down and it does not leak at all. Get a carabiner so you can clip it to your pack.

                  Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

                      I use this bottle mostly to keep some water at my desk at work. We have water dispensers that dispense filtered tap water (rather than bottled) at work and I usually only get chilled or room temp water in this bottle and there's no plastic taste. I haven't tried hot water nor do I have any intention to do so. I only use hot water for tea with a mug at work.

                      I find the loop on the top a bit awkward because it sticks out past the diameter of the bottle. I haven't had any leak issues with the top. I sometimes spill water on myself if I try to drink too fast though.

                      I don't have any stickers on my bottle that I can remember, but the bottle was wrapped in plastic when I got it. Goo-Gone or WD-40 usually work well for removing stickers.
