Comments about humangear capCAP Water Bottle Top:

Finally someone decided to make a better cap for my beloved wide mouth bottle. Yes, I got a bottle insert and that stops most spills, but where the heck is your nose suppose to go when you're drinking (maybe I've just got a big nose)? I like to fill my bottle with ice so the narrow mouth bottle was never really an option. And I don't like sucking through a rubber nipple that some bottles have. This cap just works - Easy to drink from the small spout (plenty of room for my schnoz), while still leaving me the big bottle opening to dump my ice in. So far, it's been as leakproof as the original cap. The small green cap has a nice rubber grip, the large gray cap is a little harder to grab. I'm upgrading to one of the new BPA-free plastic bottles, and, yes, this cap is completely BPA-free and PC-free. Done deal. What the heck took them so long? Only bummer is, there's only one color. I want a blue one!

Comments about humangear capCAP Water Bottle Top:

I kept buying different bottles trying to find one that wouldn't leak. The bottles I still have include the CamelBak Better bottle,Nalgene OTG, and a Nalgene widemouth Cyclone. I hate all their lids. Either the mouth is too small to add ice to your bottle or the opening is so big I end up with my drink down the front of my shirt or everything leaks out of the bottle onto my bag contents. I read the reviews for the capCAP from Humangear and bought two as I take a water bottle everywhere with me. This is the perfect lid! I cannot say enough good about this lid and cannot find anything negative about it. The lid fits all of my bottles (how can that be?). I even found myself standing in the bottle-lid section at REI yesterday telling everyone I could find about how great this lid is. I love this lid! Buy it!

Comments about humangear capCAP Water Bottle Top:

I just updated the Nalgene collection at my home. I was wanting to get one for my mother but there was one thing I was worried about... One of the largest benefits of my Nalgene is the wide mouth, however, this is one of its largest drawbacks. I wanted to find something comfortable, and usable, for my mom. So I took a step out and bought this product. It was truly a great investment. I am ordering one for myself and I have currently "misplaced" hers although if I were to look at my Nalgene I may find it :).

This product seems to be fairly tough. I have not taken it through any major abuse but it seems fairly solid. The top is very grippable. Another large advantage is that the loop where it attaches to the bottle is softer and a little wider than the lid that comes with the Nalgene. I know your not supposed to carry it by that, but really, it is ready made for it. Another great feature is the part you actually drink out of is a really nice, smooth, texture.

More sanitary

Comments about humangear capCAP Water Bottle Top:

I already commented earlier, but one more advantage came to light. When dipping the bottle into a contaminated water source and then adding chemical purification, you don't have the problem of later putting your mouth on the contaminated bottle threads when drinking. The capCap's drinking spout can be kept sanitary through the whole procedure.

Comments about humangear capCAP Water Bottle Top:

I got one of these for Christmas and thought it was so cool. But it seemed hard to screw onto my new Nalgene bottle. I checked out the humangear website and it said the plastic of the new BPA-free bottles can make for a tight fit. The site said they'd already adjusted the caps to work on the newer bottles, but that a small number of tight caps did get sold (guess I got one of them - just my luck!). I emailed them and they sent me a new large cap right away that fits perfectly. Been using it ever since with a smile on my face. [...] I recently went to my local REI to get another capCAP and it fit perfectly too, so I'm guessing they've gotten the adjusted cap out into stores already.

Comments about humangear capCAP Water Bottle Top:

Dude!

For 32oz Nalgene widemouths:
-doesn't shred when grinded like the standard cap
-appealing colors and sleek design
-no giant cap to swing back and smack you in the face
-no more goofy inserts needed to drink normally
-no more drinking while goofy insert swims around the bottom of your bottle
-no more pouring out bottle to get goofy insert

For 20oz Nalgene flip-top:
-won't pop open and spill when dropped
-soft loop plays nice with carabiners
-no protruding points to catch on mesh pockets

Quality rubberized top. Perfect fit. Replace EVERY top with these! Fits most brands to boot.

Comments about humangear capCAP Water Bottle Top:

I've been wanting a cap like this for a long time and was quite excited when I bought this. But it doesn't fit well on any of the Nalgenes I've tried it on. I still use it, but it takes several tries to line the cap up with the bottle threads.

Best Uses

Comments about humangear capCAP Water Bottle Top:

I love this idea, but the smaller cap at the top tends to stick more tightly than the larger cap on the bottom. When you turn the top cap to take a drink, the bottom cap is the one that opens. It defeats the purpose of having two caps! I find myself going back and re-screwing the bottom cap and using a lot more effort to get the top cap open.

Comments about humangear capCAP Water Bottle Top:

Once I finally found em I Purchased 2 of the capcaps via REI. Fast ship btw.
1 green was obviously defective upon receiving. 1 email directly to Human Gear service/warranty got it IMMEDIATELY resolved.
Outstanding service!

I took my oldest 1L hard lexan nalgene replaced the old cracked lid &put it straight to work.

So far this cap/nalgene combo has withstood constant use while in light Forestry
Construction
Outdoor/property chores
Kayaking
Hiking

Better than widemouth original that it doesn't spill out the opening when ur walking. I had tried a narrow mouth bottle also but its hard to clean, dryout, or add ice. Black mold formed too quickly.

So far I,ve dropped capcap combo over 20' a few times, and "tossed" it further.
I wash it every few days.

Had a camelbak flip straw recently gifted to me but the bite valve wears out quik (as does other moving parts), easily grows mold and if dropped in sand or whatever its compromised. Also hot drinks can build up pressure and jet stream down ur gullet. Straw is easier to replace than clean when stained. Not to mention I get a headache trying to pull large amnts of drinks thru it.

Overall the capcap suffers from none of that and it delivers alot of drink @once! I dont use anything else

theres no washers or seals to fail.

AND imo HumanGear is a phenominal company that seems to care about customer experience.

I will be giving capcaps as gifts to my ecotourist friends and a buddy @the Nature Conservancy knowing if theres a problem it"ll get a fair listen.

Comments about humangear capCAP Water Bottle Top:

I love these caps because they increase the useability of wide mouth water bottles. They allow you to keep the wide mouth opening for adding ice or treating water with a SteriPen, but then you can use the narrow opening for drinking and pouring. No more dumping water down my chin when I'm just trying to get a drink! These caps are not lightweight so I wouldn't use them on a backpacking trip where every ounce counts, but for everyday hiking and excercise, these are great. I've had mine for several years now and they've taken a beating but still work perfectly. In fact, they may be completely indestructable, so choose a color you won't get sick of.
