Camelbak brand water bottles are very similar to regular water bottles used by sports and outdoor enthusiasts. Rugged and re-usable, Camelbak water bottles are very durable and break resistant lasting a very long time under normal conditions.

Filling up a re-usable water bottle like a Camelbak is a good choice when compared to buying packaged water in disposable bottles. If you are into serious outdoor sports like hiking, running or biking a good alnternative to a water bottle is a regular Camelbak hydration backpack.

These water bottles have different features like the spill proof silicon bite valve that you bite and suck on similar to the Camelbak hydration pack bladders or you can get a bottle with a screw off cap. All of the bottles feature a large sturdy handle for hanging onto a carabiner from your backpack or you can get a special Camelbak pack made to carry one or more bottles.

Camelbak bottles come in four different models, a variety of colors and sizes including the Better bottle, Better bottle with classic cap, Podium bottle for biking and the Performance bottle that can hold up to one liter of refreshing water or your favorite sports beverage.

Due to popular demand recently Camelbak has switched from using Bisphenol-A (BPA) polycarbonate plastic to a new BPA free polymer to make the plastic water bottles. Bottles made from BPA may leach small amounts of chemicals, for more information on BPA take a look at the following URL:
