I’ve been through my fair share of water bottles, and I can say with confidence that because of this new one I received today, I feel like I can get back on my diet and fitness program and drink my gallon of water like my trainer says! I’m telling ya, this bottle is THE BEST.

camelbakI know water bottles aren’t the biggest concerns we have in this world today, but it’s been bugging me for over 2 years now, and I could never find the one that works for me. Problems I had before:

  • Too big for cup holders (cars and treadmills)
  • Needed to be 32oz (which is a quart, so 4 fillups a day)
  • Leaked around the cap, which is bad if you have flavored water
  • Sucking through straw sounded like I was using a bong in the office
  • Constantly twisting off and on the lid to the bottle
  • Not being able to carry it easily…not having a handle
  • It wasn’t dishwasher safe, so some parts of the bottle would “smell”

“So, tell me Patrick…what is this new bottle the angels brought to you from Heaven??” Ok ok, please know I’m not here to advertise…I’m just excited and needed a place to vent in a positive way, and if anyone has the same problem, I bring you the solution.

It’s from a company called Camelbak. I wish it could find it in stores here, but no luck. I think I got it on Amazon.

No leaks, nice straw, 32 ounces, nifty handle, dishwasher safe, tall and slender for fitting in cupholders easily…and after trying and buying way too long, I’m done. Yippie.
