This bottle has been travelled over 5,000 miles and it functions and looks just as the way when I first received it.
As an avid biker and traveler, I needed a bottle that would put up with my vigorous life style. I knew that with most plastic bottles, there is a plastic taste and odor when you first use it. With the camelback, I did not have this issue. The water I put in it always tasted like how it should taste. The bite tip kept it convenient to use without leakage and withstood the biting I have done for over a year.
The structure of the straw and bite tip is easy to take apart and clean. I just pull off the bite tip, and pull out the straw, run some warm soapy water trough it a couple times and it cleans right out. I have never needed to purchase replacement parts. However, through the heavy usage of the bottle, the surface of the plastic has gotten some wear to it though it is is still usable and functions just like when I first got it.
Drop Durability: There have been countless times where the bottle dropped out of the cage on my bike when on rough terrain. From the drops that it has had even when traveling 20+MPH on a bike, there are no cracks anywhere on the bottle. There are some small nicks but nothing was punctured. When hiking, the top of the bottle easily hooks onto a carabiner and it rests comfortably on my hip. The bottle does swing around and hits rock walls when I hike however, the bottle is still standing without damage or leakage.
Size: Awesome size for a day trip. 750ML is enough for a half of a day out for me. It is not too heavy to carry around yet it is sufficient to keep me hydrated. I convinced my mother and brother to get one. My mother is a hair dresser and my brother is a full time student. The bottle fits right into their lifestyles and it is something they use everyday.
Design: A+. Minimalistic design is great for everyday use. The bite top tucks right in to the top and does not pop out. The hook at the top of the bottle allows for easy carrying when traveling. Big enough to hold a sufficient amount of water yet small enough to not stick out when using it.
If you're thinking about getting one of these bottles, I'd say go for it! It will be the best and most well spent 14 dollars you can use. As I mentioned previously, I've had it for over a year and it works just as good as new!

I received the .75L bottle promptly. I bought it for my trip to Disney this summer.Pros:-The plastic is sturdy and durable-The loop makes it easy and convenient to carry, you can even add a "D" key ring to attach to your backpack-I turned the bottle upside down with the mouthpiece forward and it barely leaked, maybe only a droplet, but not spilling.-When the mouthpiece is tucked back, there is no leaking whatsoever.-The slit in the mouthpiece was easy to open. I simply dug my fingernail in the center while cleaning it and it opened-You don't have to tip the bottle back-Straw and bite valve is removable for cleaning(see con)-Dish-washer safe (although i do prefer hand-washing it)Cons:-The mouthpiece is thick and strong, which is understandable to prevent spilling, but requires a good amount of pressure to keep it open. It doesn't hurt my teeth to bite onto it, but the pressure from the biting only allows me to sip for several seconds at a time before I get dizzy. That can be a nuisance at times when I want to sip consistently.-The bottle is quite inconvenient to clean. You have to spend a bit of time to make sure you've thoroughly cleaned and dried the bite valve and lid or else it would remain unsanitary and mold will form.-Water from cleaning tends to get stuck where the bite valve maneuvers. It can cause mold to form if not dried properly (I actually took a plastic bendable straw and blew air through it to dry the area).-The bite valve is difficult to remove for cleaning. I spent a good number of minutes trying to pry it off the plastic.-When the bite valve is tucked back, it also took several minutes to pry it back up for drinkingOverall, I still like the bottle very much. I'm sure there are better plastic bottles out there, but this one will do.
