I have only use camel back bottles for the last several years. The system that they use always make it easy to get a quick drink. This bottle is not as long as many bottles and works well with my frame bag.
The bottle is stylish and has a great feature by twisting an outer flap to open and close it without the need to pull the mouth piece.
I love these bottles. They don't drip, are easy to fill and drink from.
My wife tried these first because she isn't like to pull up the nozzle on Elite bottles while riding usually with her teeth. She seemed happy to use the new bottles so I also gave them a try. These have been the best bottles for riding on the go. Great quality and reasonable price. Holding up very well after a couple months of use.
I love these bottles.. they hold up to road, gravel or MTB use with no leaks or mess. They look good too. The only knock is they tend to develop mold under the rubber piece contained within the lid if you don't take it off and let it dry out after washing.
This is the best bottle I've ever used. Easy to disassemble and clean. Nice feel in the hand and the no leak option is very nice.
Love the top on this bottle . Easy to open end close.
Easy to pull out of the cage but doesn't bounce out; not sure how this works. Also, doesn't seem to mar or scuff.
Great bottle. Shut off valve is one of, if not the best. NO PLASTIC TASTE!
Great bottle, improved valve openclose control, but stiff. Recommend it.
No fuss use.
So they changed how you twist to open the spout. It's seriously much harder than the previous style. It's no longer a one handed, open it while it's still your cage affair. I used to keep my second one closed til I needed it. Now I keep both open on a ride.
The spout still gives a good flow, but I don't think you get as much as the previous style.
I got the clear and after a few rides, it was already getting the black scuff marks they get.
They look like I've had them for years.
Still a good bottle, but not a step forward in design.
nice water bottle. just have the bottle open if you want to drink while riding .. otherwise you will have to stop to open bottle to drink.
just another bottle . I need to keep it open while riding. The twist cap opens up the bottle cap if you were trying to open it with one hand while riding.
Pros: No plastic smell.
Camelbak is number one. I use it for both cycling and running
Doesn't keep water cold
