The only negative thing with these bottles is the concept of the uncovered bite valve. Dust or other things could easily get on it and you'd be putting your mouth on it.
ok so i have a ZeroWater filter and i tested the water and it was 0 (good). i bought a camelbak and tested the water and it was 60! whats up with that?
DO NOT buy one of these bottles. The hole for the water is TOO SMALL it is like trying to suck water through a pin hole. When you are out of breath and you need water the bottle is unusable. I contacted cambak and they said they will send me a new lid...... lets see if they do and if it is any better. The problem is NOT that air cannot get into the bottle I unscrewed the lid and I still could not suck water through the straw. The hole in the lid is to small.
FML.... i just paid like 15.50 for one but idc i still love this bottle! i got a blue one and i plan to get the tube extension so i can keep it in my pack and drink from it
Hey jeff, did you know they have a metal version of these? I have one with a cool green design on stainless steel. Best bottle i've ever had. Except the mouth piece has started to tear at the edges of the opening
Nice review (and great bottle, I have 2!). For anyone deciding between this and the cool stainless steel version, be aware that the opening on the stainless is smaller by about 2mm... which means most drop-in filters, splash guards, etc. will NOT fit in the stainless version! I learned this the hard way, so wanted to give potential buyers a heads up first. If you want "compatibility" with more 3rd party accessories out there, get the BPA-free plastic one in this review (and a bottle sleeve!).
do they make the fluid taste of plastic. the new camelbak bladders using the darker plastic suck compared to the older pale blue plastic bladders camelbak used. the new bladders taste of plastic right from the first use. the older pale blue ones did not
i got one of them from the dentist i liked how durable they were but you have to make sure you wash the bite valve gets cleaned because it can get pretty dirty
Bought the lime green one today for $14 (yeah it's high but I didn't want to wait for Internet shipping). Bought it at Dick's Sporting Goods. Anyway, I think it's an awesome bottle, and I like the fact it's made from tritan (BPA free). The bite valve works great.
Have the same problem. What size? Mine is .75 L. I emailed Camelbak and called their warranty section and had to leave a message. I hope to god they'll contact me back.
camelbak HAWG with a 3 liter bladder ( great for my edc), these bottles are nice, the flipup tab is cheap and snapped off but is unnecesary, just a luxury
I bought a 1 liter bottle in blue over the weekend. It's great. I especially like that it's BPA free. If you drink from a Better Bottle and there's a metallic taste, a water and baking soda mixture works well to clean. It works for the bite valve, too.
I did in this video for almost 7 minutes, lol...its justa gear review man, many people are interested in them hense the video...but I dotn expect EVERYONE to be fascinated by a video on bottles, lol...
Just wanted to say, these are great bottles, My wife and I own a total of 4 of them. In our opinion they are the best bottles out there, we have not had one problem with them. I have put all kinds of powdered drinks in them and the parts never get stained, not one leak after over a year - two years of constant use.
Yes I feel the same way, I have only used wtare in them but recently tried the small bottle packs of lemodae mix and its been gresat, no taste transfer ocne you wash them out...
One cool thing about them I dint hear in the video, might have missed it, is that you can remove the straw from the inside, I still leave it in the bottle so it will not get lost, and you can drink from it by tilting it up. Really nice to do that when you are laying in your sleeping bag at night, you don't have to roll over to drink using the straw. The new ones are BPS free also. Around the house, on the trail, in the gym, dropped, stepped on and it keeps going.
Not to crap on your vid or w/e, but I've had experience with four camelbak water bottles and ALL of them have leaked from the cap, imo a waste of money.
Thats ok, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so far I have been loving these bottle, but aa far as I cna tell they didn't work for you...Sorry to hear it man...Maybe I got lucky and god some good ones? Or maybe I have just been good about not really moving it around much when filled...Anyway its always good to post your opinions on review videos like this, sometimes peopel ahve different experiences with the same porducts...
yeah, the only good reason one of them had to leak was it got wedged under the seat in the car, and so that made it leak, but the other ones were brand new, but they still leaked, very strange. Well, ttyl, btw, which county comm bag would you suggest? I'm thinking the many pocket one or the EOD, any suggestions? thanks much!!!!!!!!!!
I have review videos for both the EOD bag as well as the BOB (bail out bag) It depends on what you want to carry, the EOD bag is good for just a bunch og stuff in one bag without seperating anythgin, but it does have 2 small interior pockets as well as one large too...
Alot of people do...Its a product review, where I talk about a quality water bottle...Soem peopel have reviews on other products that I cna care less about, but I do not post negative comments about the videos...Not every video on youtube is for everyone watching...We all have a choice what to watch here...I have gotten at least 3 messages since I posted this wuith people thanking me for doing this review because they were wondering about this type of bottle...
p.s. your right, why woudl people want to watch this video when they cna watse their time watching for "Xerxes meets jesus" video you posted...I feel stupid for adding such crappy videos when there are soooo many nicer ones on youtube...shame on me, lol...
can recommend a folding kife without lock under 3", preferably straigte clip point? and avaible in the UK, i currently just have my leather man kick, hat would be great. there an no laws on how sharp :)
Hmmmm, I am not sure whats avaliable in the Uk, but as for a non locking 3" knife I woudl HIGHLY suggets a casew sodbuster, but its not clippoint, but rather a drop point style blade, you cna check out my cideo on it under "cheap knives" One of my older videos shows it! What a great knife!!! And cheap, like $20 us...Not sure if you cna get one by you though?
Good for you, I know you will like it! I forgot to mention that the black one has the military graphic on it..."Hydrate or die" But the blue one does not...
