Review on 🥤 Graphite CamelBak Ultra Handheld, 17 OZ Capacity, One Size by Sheppard Priest

See update below. What a step forward in bottled water. The bottle itself is collapsible so it shrinks when empty. It has a bite attachment and an open/close position on the lid to ensure it doesn't leak. The bottle is detachable and can be replaced with a small water bottle if needed. 20 ounces is perfect. The collapsible bottle has a large cap hole, a bit hard in color so the hole doesn't collapse when you try to put the cap back on. The large opening allows for faster filling, emptying, cleaning and drying. The bottle has a hole so you can hang it up to dry. The bottle holder has a lot to offer. It's lightweight, cushions, and provides some insulation. It has a cross strap so you can easily carry it in your hand while walking or running. It also has a carabiner loop for attaching to your belt or backpack. A reflective loop on the bottom prevents the bottle from slipping out, but can be pulled to the side to remove the bottle if necessary. There are two compartments in front. One has a zipper and the other is foldable. Keys and cell phone or ID would be ideal there. I only noticed two small things as a disadvantage: The collapsible bottle is difficult to put back in when it is empty. Complete, no problem. Second, you must hold the lid while rotating the open/close mechanism to prevent the lid from coming loose. All in all, this is a great bottle. It is very well designed and made. It is very light and perfect for walking, hiking or running. Bravo! UPDATE: The initial bad taste of the water from this bottle didn't go away with time and washing. So I lowered my rating from 5 to 3 stars. Still pleasant, but the water tastes disgusting.
