CamelBak Eddy+ BPA Free Water Bottle 32oz

I've bought CamelBak Eddy bottles for 10+ years and never thought I'd ever not like them. I never had a bottle break and anytime the lid began leaking or other lid issue, CamelBak always sent me a replacement top, which fixed the problem. My last Eddy got rolled around on the floor of a hospital room back in March and I didn't try to clean it or use it for a while afterwards and just got too grossed out when I did go to clean it up. So, I ordered a new Eddy through Amazon recently. CamelBak has tinkered with the Eddy for the worse and I find myself not using it much, when previously these bottles were like an additional limb for me. I'm super disappointed. ISSUE = LID (well, CamelBak product designers and the "Oh, that's a great idea!" team are the real issue, but anyway...) a) The bite valve is now concave rather than level, making it much harder to drink from- much less water flow and the valve is often partially blocking suction as I try to bring the water up through the straw. b) The valve comes off too easily now, and often does come off between my teeth as I'm trying to get the concave valve to open. c) The lid as a whole now looks and feels cheap- dull black, shorter, and has a low-quality texture. Overall, it's like something you'd for at Dollar Tree (I like Dollar Tree, but it's not where I want my bottles from). d) The open tab area that comes up from the lid is now at a lower angel and does not go out as far from the lid. That means you don't have as much room for your fingers or hook pegs or whatever you might try to pass through the opening. I used to hold these bottles by the tab area when walking with it, but it's now no longer comfortable to do so. a,b,c,d!) WORST OF ALL, ... it seems these changes were made for the benefit of CamelBak, not us (or something went wrong between the design plan and the implementation of it). Their website is touting the top as being interchangeable with its other bottles and hot liquid containers. That doesn't matter to me at all, why would it?? Each vessel comes with a top and so I wouldn't need an interchangeable one. If the top to one crapped out, I'd use the lifetime warranty and ask for a new top for that vessel... like I've always done. If I ruined the top, I'd buy a new top or new bottle, not switch a top between two vessels for ever more. Summary: BAD MOVE/ BAD DESIGN, CamelBak. I guess I should be glad that CamelBak didn't "improve" the bottle itself. Thankfully, it still seems to be the same. Here's hoping CamelBak RE-UNIMPROVES the Eddy lid!!
