anybody have a water bottle they really like? I have a camelbak one but the mouth piece doesn't stay closed anymore and so whenever I get it out of the fridge or it goes through a temp change, water leaks out the top. Super annoying. I know Nalgenes are supposed to be nice but I don't want one with a screw off lid. That's too slow and clumsy for me. Also, I'd end up spilling water. I've seen the Nalgene button type ones and those seem intriguing. I'm terrible about cleaning my bottle so yeah, something that is less prone to mold type stuff.

I never liked Camelbak's bite-valve thingy. It's just weird for a sports bottle IMO. I've always thought their stuff was really over-rated. I really liked the brita water bottle we had until my daughter lost it a couple weeks ago. I feel like I should be an expert on water bottles with the amount that my daughter has lost over the past two years.

I have the same problem with my camelbak one. The kids have Contigo bottles we got at the same time, they seem pretty good, and I think they get good ratings:

These are all highly rated, I know I have friends that like theirs. http://www.target.com/p/s-ip-by-s-well-15oz-satin-finish-stainless-steel-bottle-top-dog/-/A-50304050
 
thanks! Looking at the Thermos Intak one, seems pretty similar to my current one but easier to clean

Thanks, a water bottle is on my list before traveling this weekend. Looking for some light weight to toss into a sling bag.

I like my rubbermaid bottle - widemouth so I can fill with ice cubes then top with water and it will stay cold for 3-4 hours at work. They come in several sizes from 14oz to 32oz. Cap snaps off with a flick of the thumb, snaps back on again. I've dropped them a couple of times & they haven't popped open.
