Product Description
UNBOTTLE 100OZ BLU/GRAPHITE
Amazon.com Product Description
Turn any expedition pack or daypack into a personal hydration system with the CamelBak 100-ounce UnBottle. A ideal option for backpackers who want to add easily accessible hydration to an overnight pack, the UnBottle comes with a series of clips that attach to pretty much anything, including a backpack, a jacket, or a golf cart. It even works for water sports, as it fits on the back of a personal flotation device or the deck of a sea kayak. The UnBottle is made of lightweight, abrasion-resistant materials, with an Omega HydroTanium insulated reservoir that helps keep liquids cool for hours. In addition, the bottle is easy to clean thanks to the integrated hanger loop, which allows you to hang the UnBottle upside down for drying after rinsing or cleaning. The UnBottle, which won the esteemed Backpacker Magazine Editor's Choice Award in 2002, carries a lifetime warranty. About CamelBak
CamelBak is the originator and world leader in hands-free hydration systems. The first CamelBak products proved to be extremely popular among mountain bikers and motocross riders, because it allowed them to drink without taking their hands off the handlebars in technical terrain. The product began to cross over into other sports when scientific studies showed athletes drank more fluids and performed better when they were a CamelBak. Since then, athletes from an ever-growing list of sports and activities began to use CamelBak hydration systems for their convenience and performance benefits. In addition to cycling, CamelBak offers hands-free hydration systems for hiking, running, snowboarding, and skiing. CamelBak's state-of-the-art packs and hydration systems have benefited athletes, outdoorsmen, and soldiers around the world. While CamelBak has grown tremendously since the early days, one thing hasn't changed--CamelBak still believes in the performance advantage that proper hydration delivers for just about any activity. The privately held company is headquartered in Petaluma, California.

Another great product from Camelbak January 8, 2009
B. Klotzek (Ashland, Ohio)

I originally bought the BetterBottle from Camelbak for my husband for work. He travels a lot and would always bring a screw top water bottle with him. I thought this was dangerous especially on the super hilly and curvy roads that he travels on. The bottle worked great, but he would have to fill it up constantly. So I set out to buy him a bigger bottle. I then found the Unbottle. He loves it! He attaches it to the back of his seat and runs the hose around the seat and hooks it on the seat belt. He then can take sips whenever he needs too. Plus when he leaves it in the car on a hot day, it has not tasted like plastic when he goes back to it. Great purchase!
Built to last forever January 9, 2009

This hydration pack is a little heavy but it's worth the extra weight because it's build to last. I think I could throw this out of my car at 50 MPH and it would survive. What else could pass that test?
Great product! July 10, 2010

I've used this hydration bladder for about 4 years and I love it. I mostly use it for hiking and it does a great job keeping water cool for an all day hike in the Texas heat. There are clips attached to the cover if you want to clip it to the exterior of your pack, but I always just drop it in my pack; although, it can be a bit bulky. I think you may be able to attach straps to it to wear it, but I have not figured out that part and there are no instructions on how to do it. It's a little bit of a fight to get the reservoir out of the cover, but it does come out and is easy to clean.
 Tough, but very bulky August 24, 2007

This is a very strong 3-liter water bladder that fits inside an outer pouch (what you see in the picture). This is definitely "leak-proof." The bladder itself is stronger and thicker than other bladders I've used, and once it is inside the outer pouch, I don't see any way of it getting punctured. I am fairly confident I could fill this up and toss it onto the rocks from 50 feet and it would be okay. So it should hold up to branches and thorns that you brush up against. The reservoir comes with a lifetime warranty as well.
The description says it attaches to the outside of your pack. I guess it does using those clips if you purchase a couple straps, but I could not figure out anything to attach it to on my overnight pack or how that would work. There were no instructions explaining how the "slick clips" worked. I just stuffed mine into my pack. The handle at the top is very convenient for hanging it on a tree though, and I would say is one of the best features of this product. This bladder will definitely not fit in a pack's reservoir pocket, as one description told me. Even the smallest 2-liter Unbottle is fairly enormous. It will take up a lot of room, so if you need to bring a lot of water, it is best to go with several smaller bladders like the Platypus Bottle 2+L (80 ounces).
The outer pouch does seem to insulate the bladder fairly well, and keep your water cool, which is going to be a requirement if this is clipped to the outside of your pack in the direct sun. The bladder has a huge opening on it, which makes it very convenient for filling up. The hose has a lock on it, although I never had problems with it leaking so I have never used it. If you stuff this in a pack however, it might be nice in case something shifts and presses down on the bite valve.
Lastly, if you've never used a bladder or water container with a drinking tube before, you don't know what you're missing. It is so convenient to run the hose through your pack so you can just bite down on the valve and get water. I keep water bottles in my pack's side pockets, but it is a pain to use them when I can just stick the hose in my mouth and bite down. You also drink more often with a tube so you stay better hydrated. My only gripe is that the Unbottle doesn't come with a clip to attach the tube to your shirt, that way it is right in front of you when you need it.
Overall, if this bladder is all the water you need, and you are able to figure out how to attach it to your pack, I would definitely recommend it. But it is very bulky and takes up space, so if you are planning an overnight trip and need to bring along several containers of water, I would only bring one 2 or 3 liter UnBottle with you.
Mild Chemical Taste August 5, 2009
21st Century Hermit (Colorado)
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Pros:
Incredibly handy hydration
High quality materials and workmanship
Cons:
Mild chemical (plastic) taste
Fabric cover attached to bladder not removable
No bite valve cover
I got one of these to put in my older backpack which didn't have a hydration pocket. I put it closest to my back and I opened a seam to get the hose to the front. Unless your going to attach this outside the pack, all the fabric and buckles are unnecessary added weight.
I have two Camelbak bladders, both have a mild chemical taste which I'd as soon live without. I emailed Camelbak, they replied in an hour (Wow) with a canned cleaning message, but the taste was day one to two years later. Turns out a teaspoon of lemon juice will kill the plastic taste w/o adding a lemon taste.
I consider this to be very well made, but I wish Camelbak had included the bite valve cover as a standard feature. Otherwise, the valve drags in the dirt each time I take my pack off.
Can't imagine using a water bottle ever again.
