Strengths: Valve that keeps water from coming out until you want it toWeaknesses: NoneBottom Line: Near Perfect water bottle. Never had a leak and its so much easier to use than waterbottles with the pull top. You can also use a squirter for dogs. Perfect for races.

Strengths: Easy to squeeze.Weaknesses: Can't put in dishwasher. Leaks when squeezed.Bottom Line: Rather disappointed in this product. I purchased tow new bottles because they were easier to squeeze than my old Polar bottles. The trouble is that the material is so soft that it mal-forms while it is being squeezed and leaks from where the cap screws onto the body. This is very annoying, especially when riding in the cold. I wrote to Camelbak to complain and they sent me two replacement bottles - after accusing me of putting the bottles in the dishwasher. The newer bottles are no better than the old ones. I cannot recommend.

Strengths: Doesn't leak even when open, no plastic taste, durable.Weaknesses: Can't take apart and clean drinking valve to clean. Mold can form in the white funnel area and nothing seems to get it out, chlorine, vinegar, etc. After a year with no success cleaning the valve I was forced to buy a new set of bottles even though the old ones function perfectly.Bottom Line: I ride a lot as I have a road bike touring company. I've been using the Camelbak podium nearly every day since I bought them. Best bottle around.

Strengths: no leaks.
Bottom Line: BUY IT. It holds fluids way better than the standard Specialized bottles we've gotten used to. the cap doesn't leak. the spout doesn't leak. when using Nuun, the mild effervescence, combined with sloshing, doesn't cause drips to continually come out the spout until the bottle is less than 3/4 full.

Strengths: Cytomax taste like Cytomax not plastic. No drip spout works great. Also it is easier to load ice cubes as the Specialized have a skinny middle section which jams up the ice cubes going in. Soak in light bleach solution for 10 min to clean bottle and spout apparatus every couple of weeks to sanitize.Weaknesses: None except they don't make the insulated version in the 24 oz size. WeirdBottom Line: Great bottle. Does not drip as advertised. Well worth the extra $$$. I thought the reflectice silver bottle would stay cooler longer but it doesn't in the hot Miami sun. I got them at USPhome.com they are on sale right now for $6.74 and sell for locally 11-13 dollars. Got 2 for 20.00 and some change shipped to Miami. Going to buy 2 more
