The popular Eddy Camelbaks are designed to be leak proof, a feature that many students find useful over the traditional plastic water bottle.
Sophomore Kira Roman said, “I like Camelbaks over regular water bottles because they are spill and leak proof and normal bottles aren’t. ”
Part of the leak proof design is in the rubber mouth piece. Camelbaks are designed with a rubber top that flips up and down and connects to the straw, when one wants to drink water they bite on the straw.
Sophomore Sydney Salzman said, “I like the chewy rubber piece at the top because you can hold them upright while you drink.”
Although the bottle has the advantage of drinking upright the rubber top does have its flaws.
