Take comfort in knowing your drinking water is securely stowed in the sleek and clean CamelBak Stainless-Steel Better Bottle.

Stainless-steel bottle is naturally BPA free, stain resistant and taste free; no coatings or liners are used on the interior
CamelBak's Big Bite valve eliminates awkward drips and 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 (sold separately)
Simply unscrew the cap to uncover bottle's wide-mouth opening for easy filling and cleaning; opening is compatible with standard 63mm caps, filters and accessories
Specially shaped bottle fits nicely in your hand and in most automobile cup holders
CamelBak does not recommend the use of carbonated beverages with the straw configuration; remove straw and drink by tipping and sipping
Please note: bottle is single walled and may get hot to the touch when used with hot liquids

Imported.

Comments about CamelBak Stainless-Steel Better Bottle - 25 oz.:

Pretty durable, I haven't dented it yet. I like the design on the bottle and the easy-to-sip "bite valve stem bottle" flip top. I also like the fact that the bottle is leak-proof (I turned it upside-down with the flip top open and no leaks!)! However, I notice the printed image design on the bottle does scratch off and gets scratched overtime. And water remains cold for about 4 hours. But overall I am satisfied and rate this product a perfect score.

Comments about CamelBak Stainless-Steel Better Bottle - 25 oz.:

Must have been invented by someone raised on 'sippy-cups'. Not only do you have to bite-and-suck simultaneously (so you don't get much at a time), but the stem is too short to reach to the bottom of the bottle -- so you can't get the last liquid out.
However, it doesn't leak.

Comments about CamelBak Stainless-Steel Better Bottle - 25 oz.:

Santa brought 3 of these to our family and we LOVE them. The straw and bite valve have us drinking water and carrying this with us everywhere. If I knock it over on my desk, nothing is ruined. The kids can open it easier than anything they've ever used and this is BPA free. Getting kids to drink water and stay hydrated is a challenge but this bottle makes it easier.

The only down side is that only 1 will fit in our car cup holder at a time.

Comments about CamelBak Stainless-Steel Better Bottle - 25 oz.:

I'm a student, and this water bottle is perfect for my backpack water bottle pocket. The collapsable mouthpiece stays relatively clean and it dispenses water when you want it. It doesn't squirt water at you when the beverage starts to warm up a little - as happened with some of my previous water bottles. I did have a slight problem with water leaking from the mouthpiece, but I realized that it was because I left water in the mouthpiece, and sometimes I would hit it, allowing the fluid to be released. Simple fix: Bite on the mouthpiece with your mouth open after you get a drink. This allows the fluid to drop back down the straw, removing it from the inside of the mouthpiece.
All-in-all I'm pretty happy with this bottle. The only negative I've found is that it can be challenging to clean the mouthpiece.

Comments about CamelBak Stainless-Steel Better Bottle - 25 oz.:

I have a lot of water bottles at home, but when I became pregnant I wanted a bottle that I knew was BPA-free, and I wanted a bottle that I could easily drink from while driving. I thought this bottle would be a great choice. After using it for a few months, it began leaking through the threads when it was turned on its side. This wasn't going to work for me so I returned it for a new one. Within two uses the new one began leaking also. I give up. I love the design, but seriously, how hard is it to make a water bottle that doesn't leak?!

Comments about CamelBak Stainless-Steel Better Bottle - 25 oz.:

I use this as an everyday bottle around the house, in the car, and at work. Water stays really cold and it's fun to drink out of so it helps me drink more water.

Would be five stars, but it doesn't fit in a water bottle cage on a bike and isn't the best for intense workouts. It's too hard to suck on the mouthpiece while breathing hard at the same time.

Great casual use water bottle!

Comments about CamelBak Stainless-Steel Better Bottle - 25 oz.:

I love this water bottle for every day use but maybe not for camping or needing fast water. I drink much more water during the day when I can sip on it. My mom and my husband don't like that it's like a "sippy cup" and I understand that if it's fast water that you want. So if you're trying to slam a bunch down at once, this water bottle may not be for you. If you want to sip at it all day, it's great. Also, I'm kind of a germ freak, only kind of, but sometimes I get paranoid about the protruding mouth piece and if I take it camping or something and a bunch of dust and stuff gets on it I always try to rinse it off somehow. So if you're a germ-a-phobe you might not like that either. But for everyday use at work I find I drink much more water with it. I wish it was a full liter, that's maybe the only complaint I have for my usage.

Comments about CamelBak Stainless-Steel Better Bottle - 25 oz.:

I really like the look of this bottle and that it is BPA free. However, it does not fit well in car cup holders and unless you use a death grip on it, it will definitely leak. I don't remember it leaking at first, but I've been using it consistently for a couple months now and it is getting worse. There have to be better bottles out there.
