…if you are a regular and massive water drinker like me. I carry water around with me all day and drink easily a gallon per day, so I figured that investing in a BPA-Free container makes a lot of sense in the long run.
Also the construction and materials of these bottles is top-notch. Very sturdy, and the plastic they use for the lid is both visually and tactilely pleasant. Where the lid screws onto the bottle, it seems to be slightly softer so it’s quite leakproof and you don’t have to twist it super tight for it to prevent leakage like you do with some cheaper bottles.
The shape is perfect for fitting into the mesh water-bottle side pockets of my backpacks, a SwissGear laptop pack and a Jansport daypack. One liter ties me over for a good 2-3 hours. I use one of these bottles for water, and another one for Gatorade whenever I go to the gym.
The plastic loop in the lid is great for carrying with one finger or clipping onto a strap on your backpack; it also helps you twist to open the lid. Pretty smart design!
Overall, this is one product that DOES live up to the “You get what you pay for” cliche.
* CLEANING TIP: All you need to do is clean with hot water and add a drop or two of bleach to it, then rinse. I only have to do that maybe once every 2-3 weeks, and I use my bottle every day just about. Most of the time just a simple rinse in warm water will do, but the odor develops over time due to growth of the bacteria in the backwash that happens every time you drink from it—if you pour the water out of the bottle into a glass instead of drinking directly from the bottle, I’d imagine you wouldn’t have any odor issues.

Nice job Camelbak! Great packaging. Camelbak wraps each bottle in a clear plastic protective sheet that both protects the product and eliminates problems with those annoying sticky product labels that are often so difficult to remove. The best part of the bottles are the lids. Just stick your index finger into the hole that also serves as a carabineer hook and spin the lid on and off. Best lid that I have ever used. Really easy and fast to open and close. The one liter bottle is too tall for my dishwasher top rack which is where Camelbak says the bottle must be placed. Buy these bottles for the nifty lids. Oh… and no BPA!

I bought this bottle to replace a Nalgene bottle which was not BPA-free. I purchased the 0.5 liter bottle with classic cap and I take it to work every day. It fits in my lunch bag as well as the cup holder in my car and I have not experienced any leaks. I’ve been using this bottle for about a month now and I’ve been pleased with it so far.

Just got my Camelbak BPA-free better bottles in the mail. Bottle looks good and water tastes good from it. Roughed it up a little bit out of curiosity and it holds up well.
My only complaint is that it would be nice if the lid had something to attach it to the bottle so that I wouldn’t have to hold it to take a drink (something like the nalgene bottles have that connect to the top of the bottle and the lid). They also offer a version with a foldaway bite-valve lid but I don’t like these so I went with the classic lid. I do like the hole in the lid for carrying or slipping it onto a caribiner.

Nice bottle, cool top. The only drawback is that the opening is a bad size, but maybe it’s just my big nose. While driving I find it difficult to drink from.
