CamelBak Chute Mag BPA-Free Water Bottle

this is the best water bottle. I have gone through a lot of water bottles and this is the best one. 1. tall shape. this is important because nearly every high-capacity water bottle goes wider, not taller, and looks like a god-forsaken oil drum. this bottle is 1.5L (50.7oz), and you can easily fit two of these in a backpack; you can't fit most 100oz bottles in a backpack because they'll be too round. the only way to get a similar fit is to find a bottle shaped like a 9V battery or portable USB power bank, which basically doesn't exist in the kind of plastic water bottles are made out of. 2. doesn't leak. this is the One Job a water bottle has to do. 3. clear. every bottle insists on being some obnoxious color, or worse, opaque. you should be able to see what it in your water bottle. we are not 20 year old undergrads who think they're clever as they wink when they say "water" bottle. if your bottle is not clear and you have some mixture in your bottle (say, gatorade) you will not be able to use color as a guide to determine if the liquid has mixed properly. 4. doesn't have any stupid markings on it. I am not remotely exaggerating. this was a fad I was unaware of until just recently, but about 25 (I stopped counting) results on amazon's first page result for water bottle have motivational words on the water bottle, because apparently a region of the world that struggles with obesity and diabetes from consuming too much soda and juice needs motivation to keep consuming extra fluids. to reiterate: unless you are sweating a lot from heat or exercise or both, you are almost certainly not dehydrated and if you think you are, check your pee color and google the corresponding chart. 5. wide-ish mouth for dumping scoops of powder in it, such as protein powder or gatorade powder. you'd be surprised how many water bottles don't have this. if they do, they're usually not tall-shaped per (1). you'd think this would be a low bar for a water bottle. I would too. yet it took me a concerningly large amount of time to find one that meets my specifications.
