Spill-proof, easy-sipping convenience meets new Tritan™ copolyester construction in the CamelBak Better Bottle with Big Bite™ valve.

  • Made of Eastman Tritan™ copolyester, the bottle is completely BPA-free and is dishwasher safe
  • Tritan™ copolyester provides excellent impact resistance and is suitable for both warm and cold beverages
  • Bypass the potential hazards of drinking from wide openings—the CamelBak Big Bite valve virtually eliminates spills
  • Just bite and sip and the beverage flows through the valve—you don't even need to tip the bottle to drink
  • But if lifting and tipping is your preferred method, no problem; just remove the straw inside
  • Big Bite valve has an articulating stem, so when not in use it folds down next to the bottle and stays clean
  • Carry the integrated handle in the crook of a finger, or connect it to a pack or waistbelt with a small carabiner
  • Simply unscrew the cap to uncover bottle's wide-mouth opening for easy filling and cleaning; standard cap size fits many other wide-mouth bottles
  • Specially shaped bottle fits nicely in your hand and accommodates most automobile cup holders
  • All components are dishwasher safe (top rack only); do not microwave
  • CamelBak does not recommend the use of carbonated beverages with the straw configuration; remove straw and drink by tipping and sipping

Imported.

Comments about CamelBak Better Bottle - 25 oz.:

I bought a few of these so I wouldn't have to buy bottled water all the time. They are a great size, and easier to slip in a bag than my fat Nalgene. The "handle" works great with a carabiner if I want to slip it to a bag.

They worked fantastic for the first 3-4 months. They are now they are a leaky mess. I would like to think that I just got 1 bad one, but they all leak. I filled one up and packed it in my lunch bag today, when I got to work everything was wet. I am very disappointed.

Comments about CamelBak Better Bottle - 25 oz.:

Dropped this 3 times in one day on the side of a mountain along the AT. One of those times it bounced about 50 down the trail off several rocks ricocheting several feet in the air each time. It's now scuffed up, but doesn't leak, didn't break.

It also survived being put in the freezer filled to the brim with water. Twice.

I think this would have to be hit with a wrecking ball to be broken.

    Comments about CamelBak Better Bottle - 25 oz.:

    I bought this bottle out of desperation when I was heading down into the Grand Canyon. I'm really picky about my equipment and figured I'd probably just use it the one trip then toss it. That was over a year ago. It's like an American Express card; I don't leave home without it. I take this with me everywhere I go, great for work, car or on the bike to hikes into the desert with my dogs. I absolutely love this bottle.

      I bought these bottles for my family and we love them. Easy to use, easy to clean. The size is just right for day use. We drink alot of water throughout the day and these bottles have been great to have on hand. Colorful and not big and bulky. help reduce plastics in landfiles, buy this resuable bottle.

        This is the best. The Nalgene bottles were just too big and hard to carry around, so I bought this one. I have never drank so much water in my life. I find myself drinking even when I'm not thirsty...I must fill this bottle 3-4 times a day. My husband even started drinking water because of this bottle. I'm buying lots more online, can't find it in the REI stores anymore.

          I LOVE this bottle! I take it to the gym, to work, and I use it around the house. I love it when I go for walks, shopping, or I know I'll be out for awhile. It is a great way to avoid buying bottled water when out places- it is easy to fill and even easier to drink from and it is totally leak-proof! I use mine every day- and definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quality bottle that can take the rough and tumble of every day life!

            The bottle is nice, but advertised as fitting in most car cup holders.

            It doesn't fit in a Honda Odyssey or BMW 3-series. It's close - if Camelbak just shaved a couple millimeters at the base it would fit. But as it is, I'll have to return these.

              I feel safe drinking from the better bottle. The flip top drinking top is really convenient. I use it everyday. I have dropped it at work and it stays strong. The only negative is that it does not fit in my car cup holder.

                Join the fight against landfill waste surplus and pick up a H2O bottle. I use to drink from the old BPA laced Nalgene bottles, not anymore. This bottle rocks and the bite valve is revolutionary. Who would have ever thought of putting a Camelback bite valve on a H2O bottle? Genius! It makes drinking from this bottle so easy. Mine goes everywhere with me. Do yourself a favor and pick one up. I don't think you will be disappointed.

                  I bought one of these recently with the bite valve cap due to reviews and hoping to enjoy clean tasting water in re-usable package. To my surprise Camelbak bottle that is advertised as BPA free with bite valve actually has weird smell that did not go away. This seems to be due to Bite valve which seems to be made of silicone or the straw part inside the bottle. In any case smell was unpleasant so I have decided to switch to the classic cap Cambelbak or the Nalgene bottle.
