Is the straw mechanism similar to a Camelback or more like a traditional straw?

There is a silicone straw inside the vessel that attaches to the lid(it is removable for washing) and then the lid has a flip top like straw coming off the top of the lid. This is what you put in your mouth on and sip like a straw. No biting or extra squeezing like a camelback. They work really nice and do not leak.

It is a rectangular flip up sip top ... not a straw. I have never used a Camel-back but I am guessing it is very similar.

It has a hard mouthpiece with a removeable hard rubber shell and internally it has a soft straw leading to the filter which sits at the bottom. It's not like a camelback at all really.

The traditional design is solid and substantial enabling me to carry a sufficient amount of water in a single load. The only drawback is that the nozzle is solidly attached and not designed to unscrew. At first I was concerned that the holes on the nozzle head would become clogged, but that hasn't happened. I've had my Behrens for 2 years now and it functions well. Basically, I am more than satisfied. Hope my response is helpful Dave...........good luck!!

it's the same as a standard straw, BUT as they are hard (acrylic type) there is no give. For example i have some older tervis cups with older lids that they won't fit thru, but the new tervis lids they will. i would say don't risk it. they are really cool straws though .....hope that helps ;)

Yes, it looks like the same product I ordered last year. Though it may not be in this picture, the straws have the "stoppers" that block the straw from falling out of your cup when in use.

It is a straw cup, though I have got another color, it shouldn't make any difference. I'm also using the foogo series and don't see any difference. Thermos also has various series for various markets, check the ones for far east, must be better quality and cuter design

Not the one I bought. I use a large flexible straw and drink from it backwards left handed.

The one I got does not have a straw or any way to use a straw, but the insert that came with it in the package said the company was working on a sport top for it, so this might be that kind of design.

It is a mixture of flavors. It looks like the same container, but we have a nice variety of straws.

Yes, I believe it would be. The opening of the straw is just the size of a Skittles candy...if that helps :-)

yes, it is a small straw like tube about 6 inches long and quite adequate for its intended purpose

I used a Camelback 100 and it worked great - except for the time I didn't get the Camelback's opening closed securely. Oh, well.

Hi..the locking mechanism is basically the same, but this bottle is bigger..not in the volume it holds, but simply size. Also, the top is huge in comparison to the backpack version and very delicate..pretty much one drop and it's done. I personally also didn't like how it directs the hot liquid into your mouth..have to press lip against it in a way that you often got burned. Finally the lid was so big, the top would tap your forehead while tipping the bottle to drink. Hugely annoying. I tried it because I liked the choice of colors, the little hook/ring on the back and still often wish the backpack version had some sort of clip option. All that said, however, I still use and love the backpack version. I have dropped it/had it fall out of my bag quite a few times. The bottom ring is cracked, but it does not affect the performance of the bottle...which is awesome!! Hot coffee for HOURS that stays in the bottle and not in your bag. I used contigo for a long time...until i found this one that I use daily. Backpack version is worth it, wouldn't say the same for this one, though.

It uses a standard nalgene cap size. I actually use a camelbak eddy cap with mine. It screws on perfectly, you just need to extend the straw with a bit of hose.

The typical metal bombilla with a guard on the end so no mate gets sucked up and stuck on the straw. Great quality, I'd recommend!

this eddy bite valve folds down into a groove on the top lid of the camel bak that has the straw to the bottom of the bottle. If you mean by "the thing" as the little notch/lip on top of this rubber valve (shown hanging down in this picture from each valve) that allows you to tip the valve into an upright position, yes, there is a little notch or lip that your finger can then tip the vale upright and then you bite the valve to open it up a bit and drink up through the straw. These are great. Do not put in dishwasher if you use the dry cycle as they will melt. I have the full set and they are terrific.

It's a regular straw. It also has an additional straw set, with a soft tip that helps to make sure the straw gets the most liquid out of the bottle possible (as long as it's tilted properly). No valve.

I have a wide mouth 3.0 liter Camelback hydration bladder. It has a thick plastic hook on the cap portion of the bladder which works nicely with the velcro tab in the pack's bladder compartment. This prevents the bladder from collapsing to the bottom of the compartment. I hope this helps.
