Of all the water bottles we've purchased/owned over the years, in my opinion these are definitely the best.My kids have been participating in a bunch of various sports for a number of years, so if there's one thing I've become something of an amateur expert on it's water bottles. Not by choice mind you, but because given they're kids we've managed own and subsequently lose about a thousand of them over the last 5-7 years. We've purchased replacements from a variety of stores, gotten our share as promo items from local businesses, and picked up a few at birthday parties. They tend to fall into two primary categories, the insulated bottles which are important for outdoor sports on hot days,and the regular water bottles like this one. We use the insulated bottles maybe a1/3 of the time, and non-insulated bottles the rest.Features that I deem critical:1) Durable - Our kids are rough on their water bottles, so this is important. These bottles fit the bill.2) Wide mouth for easy cleaning - This is a personal pet peeve because from time to time the kids will put juice or sports drinks in their water bottles and if the mouth isn't that wide they are a pain to thoroughly clean. The wide mouth on this water bottle is perfect It's easy to clean, and can fit the larger ice cubes I'll sometimes toss in.3) Mid-sized opening for drinking - Probably because they are still young, my kids often take some big swigs of water as they run off the field/court and a wide mouth for drinking means that often some drink spills around the edges and down their shirt. I don't see this being an issue for adults, though I prefer a spout that I can more easily put my lips around, and these bottle have that feature. But I'm also not fond of the bottles where you have to bite down on the spout to get water out because the water flow is often too slow. My kids often complain of this same issue.4) Lids which stay attached to the water bottle - I'm not sure if this feature is that important to others, but with a dozen or two water bottles bouncing around the house, kitchen, kids rooms, sports bags, cars, etc. it's not unheard of for a lid to go missing. I can't explain it, but it happens more often than you'd expect. I pull a water bottle out of the cabinet and then can't find the matching lid. Seriously annoying. So bottles like these with attached lids are a plus. It's important to note that both the larger lid and smaller drinking opening stay attached to the water bottle when opened, so neither will get misplaced.I know this is lengthy review for a water bottle, but I really like these things for all the reasons I mentioned above. They are a little pricey, but we've ordered some name/phone # labels to stick on them, to increase the likelihood that we get them back if they kids leave them behind.

I love this water bottle! I will take it everywhere, for errands, traveling, to the pool, anywhere. It holds plenty of water for me and most importantly, it DOES NOT leak. I have read a lot of reviews and tested it out and not one drop comes out. I think a lot of people writing these reviews don’t realize while filling it up, that some water spilled over the edges will pool up around the lid and then you got to take a drink and it drips. For those saying the whole bottle empties into their bags and gets everything wet, I think these people made the mistake of not closing it properly.I like that the lid is attached to the bottle, the bottle is dishwasher safe and lightweight, it’s in-expensive (I paid $9.06)

It's CamelBak...it is a high quality water bottle you can count on and the units I have DO NOT leak.. 100% pure BPA safe plastic. The wide mouth allows for ice cube insertion and ease of cleaning and the unit is ruggedly constructed. You can hook these to a bug-out-bag or fanny pack using a carabiner between the bottle handle and the bag. This is a one (1) liter bottle, so it is considerably larger than a normal water bottle. That's good for relying on your fluid source for longer periods of time, but it is slightly bulkier and heavier to carry. A nice aspect of the transparent bottle and large mouth is that you can stow personal gear in them when not in use for travel. For example,

For YEARS I have been looking for a 32oz bottle with a wide enough mouth, without a straw and that would not leak when shaken. Everything I found or tried was too difficult to clean, or had a cap that worked well for shaking OR drinking, but not both. I sometimes add powders such as creatine, l-glutamine, and taurine to my water; even though these powders are unflavored and sugarless, the bottle eventually gets slimy or moldy if not cleaned. I was re-using Powerade bottles but couldn't clean them properly. A Blender Bottle came closest to meeting my needs, but sometimes leaked, and the cap covering the spout only snaps on; the Chute has a little lid that screws on very securely.

I absolutely LOVE my 32 oz. CamelBak Chute Water Bottle. It met all the specific criteria I was searching for in a bottle. I wanted a water bottle with a wide-mouth opening. I felt this would be better for chugging water instead of sucking it from a straw-like opening. It's transparent which enables me to see just how much water I have or have not been drinking throughout the day. Since it's 32 oz. I only have to fill it twice to reach my goal of at least 64 oz. in a day. Initially, I didn't care about whether the water bottle came with a carrying handle but now after using it I wouldn't want one without.I hesitated on purchasing this bottle because so many reviewers said it leaked.

This is a great water bottle!! It is definitely secure- it doesn't leak at all. I have no fears when I drop it in my purse or a work bag full of papers and my laptop. It holds a good amount of water which is a plus. I also love the the caps are attached so that they don't get lost or dropped. The reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is that one if it's biggest selling points, the ability to stash the spout cap in the handle, doesn't work as well as it could. It is VERY hard for me to get it in there. I often have to try multiple times because you can only tuck it in there in a very specific way and it is a very tight fit.

I've been trying to find something to replace my big cup that I got from the hospital when I had my baby almost 2 years ago. I've tried many bottles and I'm not sure this is my favorite but it's pretty good. Right off the bat there is an issue. Mine leaks. I don't know if it's a faulty lid but it has leaked on my couch twice and I just got it today and I know the lid was on tight both times.Here's the good. It holds the same amount as my giant mug. I hate 12 oz bottles that I have to refill 50 times throughout the day. I was worried about the drinking spout because I've tried other wider mouth bottles and hated them. This to me is the perfect size opening to drink from.

I try to drink a lot of water throughout the day. To me, having something that is a liter is a must. It keeps me from getting up all the time to get water, so I can focus on my work, and it also helps me to mentally keep tabs on how much water I am consuming. I try to fill it 2 times a day, that pretty much keeps me hydrated to recommended levels.I have used a Sigg metal liter bottle for a few years now. The O-ring that seals the lid is giving out and makes a mess when I tip it to take a sip... So the search for a better bottle started.After reading reviews etc. I decided to buy my first camelbak product. The design is really nice, I like that the cap fits into the lid,

The CamelBak Chute is the ideal water bottle for me. It's extremely well made and available in a variety of colours and a few different capacities.All of the parts feel premium and to be fair look premium. I've been hunting for the right bottle and this is superb for the office and gym due to it's robust build. The lid has a handy grab hook that you could use to attach it to anything and it makes it really easy to grip with a finger whilst managing a few items walking about.The cap is genius. It screws off and clips into the carry hole in the lid. To stop you losing it there's a semi-rigid plastic harness which doesn't intrude on use at all.The 'chute'

I have problems with drinking my goal of 13 cups of water a day (3L's). Bottled water is expensive and wasteful and tap water in a cup just doesn't motivate me. Plus it takes too long to go back and forth to the kitchen at work. This bottle solves most of those hurdles for me.I drink 3 of these (1 Liter if it's filled up) and I'm done! I try to knock one out by noon, another before I go home, and one more before I go to bed. It's not ideal but it works for me.As for the bottle itself, the carrying handle works great. I have a caribeener that I have my keys on, I can clip it to this easily. I also have a sling bag I take to the gym that I use that same caribeener/keys and clip my bottle to my bag.

Superior to Nalgene in every way. It's like CamelBak took a list of the "cons" of a standard 1L Nalgene bottle and specifically addressed them all with the Chute to make the most nearly perfect water vessel they could. Water sloshing all over your face with a Nalgene? Chute has a spout. No comfortable way to carry a Nalgene? Rubberized hole/handle on the Chute for easy two-finger carry. Threading annoying your lips with a Nalgene? Chute put the threading internal to the cap. Nalgene too fat to slip easily into the exterior bottle holder pockets on your pack? Chute is leaner and taller for an easier fit. No annoying bite valve/straw to clean, check.

My first was a lost-and-found. After scrubbing it inside and out, I loved it. Sturdy, holds a lot of water (or juice, or tea). Then, I lost it on a flight to Europe. So when I got back home, I ordered a new one through Amazon, because I had grown so attached to the one I'd lost.The only thing thing that bothered me about it was, I had to hold the cap down with my finger to take a drink. Not that big of a deal, especially once you get used to it. But still, a minor nuisance.So imagine how stupid I felt when this arrived, with instructions, and I learned that you can stow the cap in the handle. Duhhh. Not without some effort, mind you: You do need some finger strength to squeeze it in there.But I love it.

Good looking, mostly ergonomic. We used it on a recent backpacking trip to get water from sources and treat it with SteriPen. The spout has its own cover that unscrews easily and fast. All the parts are connected with the orange (in this color scheme) plastic thingy making it easy to keep all the parts together. The bottle is light, too. The only tricky part is ensuring that you screw on the main cover well enough so it doesn't leak when the bottle is not standing upright. Once almost the whole liter leaked into our tent: we learned the hard way to ensure the cap is closed correctly. It doesn't hurt to turn the bottle upside down and check for leaking.

When I saw that Camelbak had released a new bottle I had to try it. Lately I have been getting a little creeped out by my eddy .75 ml because I had stupidly left the mouth piece and straw soaking in hot soapy water and have not been able to get the soap taste out of it. I love that the Chute doesn't have the straw and mouthpiece, this to me makes it a much easier to clean and healthier bottle. For some reason I have trouble with clipping the cap in place but my boyfriend does it with ease so I am sure it is just something to get used to. I have been drinking about 50% more water with the Chute than my eddy's that I have been using for a couple years.

An good office/gym water bottle. But... just good.Pros:- The way it pours into your mouth is satisfying. I don't know any other way to put this but it actually is- The cap and lid are very tight. I have never had a problem with leakage.- Having 1L in a managable-size bottle is really nice. Less trips to the water cooler which means walking past Kristen's desk less which means you think about her less; but it still hurts. It still hurts, Karen.Cons:- The cap leans back and snaps back into the lid... which i guess is nice so it's out of your way when you drink but it just seems clunky, and the rubber washer/connector thingy that it's attatched to is just not a very great solution to holding the cap on.- The actual color combo that I got,
