CamelBak BPA-Free 0.75-Liter Limited Edition Better Bottle


the only problem I have with this is the straw, it's like camel back's staws if you've ever seen them you have to bite it to open the hole then suck. It's a little annoying, but it's definitely no spill that way.

Nalgene Tritan Narrow-Mouth Water Bottles (BPA Free)


I like that the bottle is BPA free. Holds a lot of liquid, and the cap is secure. I like the smaller mouth. Doesn't fit in a lot of cup holders though.

Nalgene "BPA Free" 32oz Wide Mouth Water Bottle - 8 Colors


I decided to purchase a good water bottle when I realized how much plastic I was going through by bringing bottled water to work. When I began shopping, my criteria were that the bottle be BPA-free (I was pregnant at the time of purchase so this was especially important to me) and that it not be made in China. I looked at multiple brands before finally finding Nalgene at a sporting goods store.

I've been using this bottle extensively for months and I love it. I at first wanted one with a drinking spout as unscrewing the cap and drinking from this bottle can be cumbersome and messy (especially while driving, as I found out) but I'm glad I purchased this model as the wide opening makes it very easy to get ice in. I like my water very cold and this bottle can hold a lot of ice. The wide opening also makes it easier to clean the inside of the bottle, which works out especially well when I squeeze lime or lemon juice into the bottle.

Lustre .8L (26 oz) Aluminum Sport Bottle with Screw Top & Caribiner Clip


This item was exactly as advertised, you cannot beat the quality or the price. Will most likely buy more for friends.

Sigg Traveler Classic Water Bottle (1.0-Liters)


I am satisfied with the bottle - it does not taste like metal at the rim, the water always tastes fresh and it is pretty easy to clean (bottle brush recommended).

Only bad or averse things include that I dented it in the first hour of owning it and the cap is sometimes difficult for me to remove. A couple times, if I left it in a vehicle, the pressure increased in it and I have had to use a spoon handle as leverage to open the bottle. (I am a weakling)

Also, I usually put a lemon wedge in my water in Nalgene bottles but I would not recommend this with this bottle. The opening is so narrow...could probably get a lemon wedge in but good luck getting it out.

I like the bottle and I would purchase another.

Sigg Lifestyle Sport Top Water Bottle (0.6-Liters)


I was very excited about my Sigg bottle. However, though it looks really good, I'm unhappy because one cannot fit in ice cubes, it has terrible insulation if they fit anyways, and the sports top that I purchased releases barely any water. I also have a Thermos brand stainless steel bottle which, though plain and not nearly as trendly as the Sigg, works much much better.

Klean Kanteen Stainless Steel Water Bottle Shoulder Sling (27-Ounce Bottles)


Be careful. I ordered quickly based on the photo. This is only a sling, NOT A WATER BOTTLE. My own fault, but sucks anyway. Used the item in Yosemite. Works well, but don't expect to remove a bottle from the sling easily. Maybe the bottle I ended up with is too big, but once in the sling, it is in for good.

New Wave Enviro Stainless Steel Water Bottle (1-Liter)


I have used this water bottle for a few weeks now. It's bigger than I need. I prefer another style, the Thermos Nissan Stainless Steel Hydration Bottle which is 18 oz. Much nicer in size and I prefer the protective lid that keeps the top covered when not using.

New Wave Enviro Stainless Steel Water Bottle (40-Ounces)


This bottle is great to carry water with you, it's very easy to clean and very durable. However it's too big to use on a bicycle water bottle cage, but if you need water on the go and don't want to spend money buying bottled water this is the best way to carry water around.

Liquid Logic Trek Aluminum Water Bottle with Carabiner (28-Ounce)


keeps water cold enough but not for long and it can be dented easily so you can't drop it or step on it. for the price, it works well, but not heavy duty.

Silver 27oz Wide Mouth Stainless Steel Reusable Water Bottle w/ Hiking Clip


This bottle is great for everyday use. I fill it up and take it to the office everyday. I feel safer drinking from a stainless steel bottle rather than plastic bottles. No funny taste, lightweight and easy to clean. The only drawback is with the wide mouth opening, it is harder to take a sip without spilling while driving. It would be ideal for me if it were another 4 or 5 oz larger but still happy with it and may buy a second.

New Wave Enviro Tinted Stainless Steel Water Bottle (0.6-Liter)


I purchased the item at the beginning of April 2009. It works just fine for the purpose that I intended it for, which was to hold water.

I didn't need the hiking clip on the lid, so I took it off.

I first noticed the wear on the item about 2 weeks after using it. The color on the bottom started chipping away. When I first washed it, I washed it by hand. The second time I washed it I put it in the dishwasher. Big mistake! I should have known better, but I wanted to sterilize it. That is when the color started chipping away in bigger chunks and it wasn't just at the bottom, but along the top.

Needless to say, the item still works, but cosmetically it is ruined and I don't want to be seen in public with it. Also, I've only used it for water and it gets a slight metal taste after a while.

I should have listened to the other reviewers, but I wanted to try it for myself. I will be shopping for a better product in the next couple of days. Hope this helps.

Nathan Stainless Steel 700 mL Flip Straw Bottle


I was pleasantly surprised to find that the product comes w/ 2 extra straws. All the parts are easy to disassemble for washing. The mouth spout is a soft rubbery type and very comfortable to use. The flip top has an unfortunate side effect of squirting a few drops of water when you flip it open, so make sure to aim it away from people. The steel is high quality, esp. compared to the cheaper Liquid Logic stainless steel bottle that I bought for comparison's sake. The water tastes fine - no metallic taste, even on the first fill. I also like the wide mouth for easy filling and washing.

I have only had the water bottle for a few weeks and the tree is already rubbing off. Other than that it is a good water bottle.

CamelBak BPA-Free Better Bottle with Classic Cap


The items I purchased were just what I wanted, and arrived in good condition--but I couldn't BELIEVE how long it took to get them! My credit card was charged and I was notified by email that they had shipped--but they didn't arrive until 10 days later! And the kicker is, I could see where they shipped from, and it was in my state! It should have been here in 2 days, tops.

Other than that--great water bottle--glad I read some reviews and ordered it!

Polar Insulated Water Bottle


I ordered this bottle and it leaked all over the place. I thought it was defective and exchanged it for another one. The new bottle just leaked less. No matter how hard I screwed the top, water would always get out. The sides are also stiff and hard to squeeze and the water does have a bit of a plastic aftertaste. I do not recommend this bottle.

Klean Kanteen Stainless Steel Colored Water Bottles with Poly Loop Cap

Klean Kanteen Stainless Steel Water Bottles


I did a lot of research on other water bottles before settling on this one and am I glad I got this one!

I have this in the Stainless Steel with the Poly sport Cap in the 40 ounce size. I 100% love it. I have NO problems with anything with it; NO squeakiness that others mention in lower reviews.

I ordered it from Amazon and received it at lightning speed. When I received it, I washed it with mild dish soap and hot water and have been using it for the gym every day since which is why I bought it. I bought it to replace a Plastic BPA free 32 ounce water bottle that I was using at the gym, that did leak if I put water in it from home and tossed it in my bag. So thus, I would have to hold the plastic water bottle to prevent leaks. A real inconvenience that I needed to fix asap!

This awesome klean kanteen 40 oz. does not leak in my bag and it fits snugly on the elliptical machines cup holder. I measured the opening to be sure before I even bought this, the opening of my gym's elliptical is 4 inches and the 40 ounce circumference is 3 1/2 and thus a snug fit. I love this larger size because I can fill it from home for that much more filtered water vs. the gyms water which is nasty. It fits with room to move on the gym's bike's cup holder! Nice. Maybe gym equipment will start making nicer size holders to accommodate our needed water intake!

Also, I highly recommend this Poly Sport Cap, it has a loop to hold and carry the bottle while moving about the gym or wherever. The Poly Sport cap that I chose with this functions just like the ones on the plastic water bottles from Poland Springs or Zephyrhills Springs, etc.

I am 5 feet and have small hands and I find no problem with holding or carrying this water bottle at all and for added convenience I like to use the loop on the poly sport cap too.

I only wish they made a 64 ounce size and that wasn't any wider so I could use that all the time. I would get that too!

If you are thinking other water bottle don's waste your time, this is it. It is must have for anyone, especially and gym goer!

CamelBak BPA-Free Better Bottle with Bite Valve


I've read many bad reviews about this water bottle. I got my camelbak bottle for free and loved it so much that I bought my daughter and husband one. I fill my bottle up and take it with me everywhere I go. I have bought several other water bottles over the years and have just quit using them after a couple of weeks. I'd struggle so much to get water with some bottles that I'd end up just taking the cap off. Why have a cap with a pull up top if you can't get any water? Or they 'd taste so much like plastic I couldn't stand it. The only problem I have with the size of camelbak bottle I own is it doesn't fit in a bottle cage on my bike. I'm NOT one of those hard core fitness fanatics. I'm an overweight mom whose going back to college. I've read that the smaller bottles will fit but since I drink a lot of water, I will not purchase another for myself until this one gives up the ghost. I will however buy one if they make the same size in a skinnier design to fit a bottle cage for bikes. Since I can't give it 4 1/2 stars, I give it 4.
