CamelBak Thrive Flip Straw Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle Yellow Bloom 20oz

I bought this after loosing my favorite water bottle. I didn't think that I would like this one as much, but needed something until I replaced the one I loved. I love this one so much more! Keeps my water cold, and the best thing is it has rubber coating on the base so that it doesn't clink when I put it down on my desk! Not terribly heavy to carry it around town, but definitely big enough to take out anyone following me down a dark alley. No strange pieces that don't clean by hand, we don't have a dishwasher, so can't speak to that, but it's pretty simple and easy to open! Does require you to pull the spout open, so not good for anyone that needs ease of use, has chronic pain in your hands. A button press option would be a better idea. Read more

The Upside: The quality is excellent, it’s very easy to clean, and I love the color. The Downside: The bottle is a bit too large for standard car cup holders, and if the straw isn’t locked shut, it can leak. Overall, despite these small flaws, I still really enjoy using this bottle. It’s a great choice if you’re looking for something durable and user-friendly. Read more

The perfect water bottle that does the job! It keeps your water cold all day and vice verse if you used this for hot water. It’s leak proof and durable with a grippy bottom for non slip. I also love the blue color! Read more

The bottle is a really quality! It’s pleasant to the touch, and the bottom is made of rubber. It keeps water cold for hours. Read more

Love, love this product!! My sensitive teeth enjoy not having cold water being poured directly on them. The straw is the best part. This bottle keeps water cold for a long time, it holds a lot and it is really easy to clean. Highly recommend!! Read more

I had been using a Stanley IceFlow Flip Straw Tumbler for a while. After about 2-3 months it started to leak rather badly even if I closed the drinking part all the way down and tight. Went looking for another water btl with a straw as I prefer those, esp for while driving vs needing to tilt your head so far back out of a spout. Long story short settled on this Camelback btl. The good is it does NOT leak at all. Also such a small touch but I love how the bottom has some soft silicone under it and also protects the bottom sides just like an 1/8th inch up the btl, but a nice touch. Love the color...got it in yellow it's almost EXACTLY the same color as my Stanley yellow. The bad or flaw? Every time you open the spout it will splash a "very little bit" of water out. I happen to be treating a small eye infection at this time so I am even more sensitive to the TINY splash of water that will spray to your face or eyes each time you flip the spout open. It's not a HUGE big deal as you can simply make sure the spout is slighly off angle to your face but it's kind of a DUMB dersign that water will splash you, and again it's VERY little. Also and maybe this would be with any btl that uses silicone...it had a strong taste of rubber or silicone for several days...now it's fine. Lastly, I am not in neeed of a btl that keeps your water cold 24 hours..but I feel since rhe lid is a very light plastic..it likely won't keep liquids quite as cold as some of the others with heavier or more insulated lids. In short I DO like the btl...but that one flaw of getting sprayed almost every time you open the spout is a pain or can be...its' also though a very smart lip in that is does not leak AT ALL. I dunno...no bottle is perfect I guess...I give it a solid 4 stars... Read more

Great product, easy to use and leak proof. Love the flip open straw, and the handle makes it easy to carry with me. The color is beautiful, just what we were looking for. Read more

Got it when it discounted to 20bucks. Always loved camelbak bottles and used the brand for 10 years with chutes. The lid being interchangable with most newer bottles are amazing. Just the right size, it says dont use hot liquids but i understand expanding gasses can squirt out when you open it but exercise at your own risks. Straw is good, dirt cover is nice to have, but if you drink fast out of it the straw/bite valve shape has a cavity for air to knock it around and the first mouthful is full of bubbles. Not a deal breaker but nice to know for people that hasnt used this before. Temperature holds decent. Both hot and cold. Handle is a soft silicone-like material i feel it makes it more comfortable Easy to clean, easy to reassemble, easy to dry, easy to get spare parts once they start failing. If you want a good flask and can wait for discounts, wishlist this and wait for it to drop to $20 Read more
