CamelBak Water Bottle - 25 oz.

[flyingwil]

I have been using a 25 oz. CamelBak Water Bottle for quite some time now. It has some great features, and so far no complaints! The best feature of it is how the top is configured for flexability. It can fit on my Nalgene, the straw can be used or not used (becomes a big tommy tippie cup), and the big bite and pressure valve has not leaked yet. Just thought I would share a cool product.

Average price is around $10-15.

• Durable Lexan® polycarbonate construction now benefits from easy-to-use, no-drip bite valve system; simply flip up the valve, bite and drink
• Wide-mouth bottle fills easily and holds 25 fl. oz.; dishwasher safe in the top rack
• Standard cap size fits most wide-mouth bottles; bottle fits many water filters
• Easily attached to a pack or belt using a small, lightweight carabiner; handles warm liquids as easily as cold
• Lists approximate volumes in ounces and milliliters

I have used one for a few months too. Great quality and a VERY good seal.

Just a word of caution: If you fill if with a sugary drink (lets say Snapple Peach Tea) and leave it in your truck in the garage for nearly a month, it is not a good idea to squeeze the bite valve... Just trust me.:violent-smiley-031:

That must have been a great big mess!

Yeah, especially when you are looking at it with the intensity of a science project. Fortunately, I took the brunt of the explosion, saving the truck. :Wow1:

Ah! Major crisis averted. High fructose corn syrup is murder on automotive clear coat. Probably those fancy stickers, too.

Lovely. I had a similar experience (actually several times now) with Zipfizz in bike bottles.

i just read through mark's bottle thread and after i dried the tear and read through this thread i wondered if any one has tried or uses one of these water bottle lanterns?

i saw one at a store in TX a few months ago and it looked pretty nifty. dont know how well it works in the real world though.

Lantern Bottle

I have one of those lantern bottles, they work pretty well. My current winter use is most often to walk in and check on our kids with all the lights out in the house. A kind of handy flashlight by the bed.

If you have it half full and slosh the water around it casts some neat shadows across the walls of a tent!!

My criticism is that when the bottle gets near empty it is very top heavy, definitly don't leave the lid off, you will spill.

I too have a bottle like this. I fly for a living, and its funny, cuz I have mine secured to the aircraft fuselage with a carribeaner (sp). When we climb to altitude, and I grab it, it usually gushes water all over the place from the pressurization. Wierd. I do like it a lot.
