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 - 32 oz.:

    There is only one downside to this size bottle, there is no thermal sleeve for this size of bottle. I drink about two gallons a day at work and the one quart size works well and fits the hand alot better than the old standard of a Nalgene. I have had this for almost a year and use it every day and still no leaks.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Comments about CamelBak Better Bottle - 32 oz.:

    I have a few of these new bottles, but one with the bite valve in the cap... I can barely get any water through the bite valve. Picture sucking a very thick milkshake through a small straw. I checked it all out and there's no problems, but where the water passed from the straw, through the lid, the opening is very small. Tiny. I don't care how big the valve is, the port is way too small! Have you guys at CamelBak tried this out?

    I like the bottle and use the others with a splash guard, but wish I'd saved a few bucks and not opted for the "Big Bite" valve.

    Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Comments about CamelBak Better Bottle - 32 oz.:

      I purchased this bottle in preparation to float the Grand Canyon - needed a durable bottle.

      Since the 'test' of the new bottle, one month ago, I have used it daily. My wife now uses one daily as well (great in the gym).

      It fits in my truck's drink cup holder so draining 1/2 a liter on a short drive is not uncommon. The bottom line is we drink more water because this bottle is more convenient than a typical screw top type. Note that the 1 liter has a wide base and does not fit the drink cup holder of my wife's Explorer but the .75 liter does fit.

      The wide top is easy to fill. Does not leak. PBA free. Can tote with one finger thru its loop which is great when you are carrying mail, boxes, etc. from the car to the house. And, no fear of spilling water on your computer – great at the office!

      Do yourself a favor - get a couple of these BPA free, dishwasher safe, CONVENIENT bottles. We now own 4 of them a scant month later and have not even gone on the Grand Canyon trip yet! For urban use, they rock.

      Service and delivery comments:

      Excellent service. Easy process.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      "Spillproof" ?!

      Comments about CamelBak Better Bottle - 32 oz.:

      "Spillproof" bottle leaks every time. If you're looking for a bottle that you'll feel safe leaving in you pack, setting on the seat of your car or leaving any other place where it will not be stored 100% upright at all times, look elsewhere.

      This "spillproof" bottle is anything but. Have gone through 3 of these (under impression first 2 were defective). The bottles are not defective, just defectively designed and marketed. All 3 have leaked all over my pack, car, etc...

      No point in paying extra for the "spillproof" lid if it doesn't work as advertised.

      Comments about CamelBak Better Bottle - 32 oz.:

      I bought this bottle several months ago. It is very useful while I'm running on the treadmill. I don't end up covered in water like I would with a conventional water bottle. I can keep on running while drinking. I have increased my daily intake of water because I love this bottle so much. The only con is that it began to leak about a month ago:( Until then I thought it was the PERFECT bottle.

      Comments about CamelBak Better Bottle - 32 oz.:

      My fiance and I bought two of these on a whim. I have had several different styles of water bottles previously, but being quite a klutz, manage to spill more water than I typically drink. The bite valve works great. I never spill water on myself anymore since you don't have to tip the bottle. I actually drink more water and have to refill this constantly! I take it to work, use it in the car, use it at home, etc. I definitely recommend buying one of these!

      WARNING: The big bite may cause waterbottle addiction. I love this bottle-I originally bought it for hiking but now I use it every day. I take to class and to the gym. I don't go anywhere without it. I definitely recommed getting the big bite - I was skeptical at first so I bought one of each, but now I wish I got two with the bite! Bottle is very durable and reliable. Camelbak needs a thermal sleeve for this size though

        I love this bottle. I usually use the nalgeen bottles which I also love, but this one makes it so easy to drink from while on the move or working out at the gym. I have been using this bottle for several months, several times a week and haven't had any prblems with leaks so far. I also like the loop at the top. It is perfect for clipping my keys to the bottle while I'm at the gym. It fits well in the bottle holders on gym equipment, but doesn't fit in car cupholders.

          Comments about CamelBak Better Bottle - 32 oz.:

          I bought two bottles--one for the gym and one for my car/office. It holds all the water that I need for the gym and can refill it easy when water is needed. However, it does not fit in any of the cup holders in my van. The bottle has no insulation and will not keep your water cold even with ice in it as the ice will melt quickly. For those that like cold water at all times this may be a problem. Overall, good water bottle and would buy them again.

            Comments about CamelBak Better Bottle - 32 oz.:

            The first one that I received leaked through the pressure equalizer hole at the top. It was replaced with no problem. The second one has held up well. Convenient loop to hang off a carabiner clip. After about five hours in the bottle, I can detect a plastic taste developing in the water. If you want to chug water look at something else. Water flow through the bite valve is okay under most circumstances.
