What is BPA?
Bisphenol-A is an ingredient used to make polycarbonate. In recent months, there has been increasing consumer demand for a bottle that is not made with Bisphenol-A (BPA), and CamelBak is proud to introduce BPA-free bottles with the same great properties customers have come to expect from polycarbonate: vibrant color, clarity, durability, dishwasher-safe, and with no residual taste. As of the end of April 2008, the entire CamelBak bottle line will be available in BPA-Free materials in North America.

What are phthalates?
Phthalates (pronounced thal-ates) are a component added to some plastics to make them soft and pliable. None of CamelBak's bottles have ever contained phthalates.

What is the BPA-free Better Bottle made from?
The CamelBak Better Bottle line is made from a new copolyester polymer called Tritan, made by Eastman. It offers the same great qualities that we have come to expect from polycarbonate bottles and is 100 percent BPA-Free. The Big Bite Valve is made of medical-grade silicone for long life and taste-free performance.

About CamelBak
CamelBak is the originator and world leader in hands-free hydration systems. The first CamelBak products proved to be very popular among mountain bikers and motocross riders, because it allowed them to drink without taking their hands off of the handlebars in technical terrain. The product began to cross over into other sports when scientific studies showed athletes drank more fluids and performed better when they wore a CamelBak. Since then, athletes from an ever-growing list of sports and activities use CamelBak hydration systems for their convenience and performance benefits.

In addition to cycling, CamelBak has Hands-Free Hydration systems for hiking, running, snowboarding and skiing. CamelBak's state-of-the-art packs and hydration systems have benefited athletes, outdoorsmen, and soldiers around the world. While CamelBak has grown tremendously since the early days, one thing hasn't changed: CamelBak still believes in the performance advantage that proper hydration delivers for just about any activity. The privately-held company is headquartered in Petaluma, California.

Summary: different 2010-03-18

Comment: I had never used a CamelBak before, so I was wary about the biting down part. It works fine, just as it is supposed to. I have to pinch the lips of the bite valve together sometimes to get it to not leak, and I feel like I am using a sippy cup.
I think it would work great in a more active setting than I am using right now.

Summary: Great bottle! A little too big though... 2010-03-16

Comment: I love the Camelbak bottles. I never go anywhere without them, seriously! One of the best features is that they maintain the coolness of the water fairly well. I leave mine in the car a lot and the first sip (that was in the spout) is hot, but after that, pretty much the temp. that I put it in there as. A very good trait in the CA valley where it gets to be 110 degrees every summer! However I didn't realize that the 1 Liter was a little bigger than the ones I already had. It doesn't fit in most cup holders (like my car's) alas. Other than that, it's wonderful. Easy to clean, Easy to sip from on the go and keep hydrated. I'll remember to get the .75 liter ones in the future. The only reason I had to order 2 was because over the last 2 years I lost a couple :( But the ones I still have just keep going and going.... :) Oh, as a side note, this is not the best bottle to take backpacking. Car camping, yes, but backpacking, I'd stick to just a bladder and hose (like Platypus).

Summary: love love love this bottle 2010-03-15

Comment: Not much to say that has not been said in the 500+ reviews of this product but this is my 3rd one because I wanted a smaller size. They hold up extremely well, I have had the other two for ~4yrs and one has gotten hard to suck out of because the little flap on the one way valve that lets air in as you drink (in the center of the cap next to the screw)is not working right. Not sure what the deal is b/c it looks fine. I used to be able to clean it to make it work better but that does not help anymore. Regardless that is after tons of use over 4 years so I don't have a problem saying it is time to replace it (plus they were not BPA free back then)!

Summary: What more can you ask for? 2010-03-09

Comment: I've owned this bottle for a couple months now and I have no complaints. Well, strike that, I have one complaint: the cap has been known to leak unless you close it with a very precise amount of torque - which you will learn in time.

I've heard that some people have had problems with mold growing inside the bite valve but I haven't experienced that, and to be honest, I haven't cleaned it since the day I started using it. I purchased an extra bite valve (which also came with 3 extra straws), just in case, but I don't think I'll need it for a very long time.

Otherwise, the water flows well, it's fairly durable (I've dropped it dozens of times) and attractive, and the water tastes only of water, not plastic.

I'm happy with my purchase.

Comment: Even though my wife didn't understand the "bite-valve" concept and took it off to drink, it just popped back on and works fine. Great bottle.
