Is the mouth piece on these hard plastic or soft like on the camelbak?

The part that you stick in your mouth is soft plastic. The flappy parts that cover the spout, the push button and most of the housing are hard plastic.

They are hard, not soft. My daughters both chewed on the soft ones and made extra holes, so these worked better for them.

The straws are a hard plastic. They are very durable. I just ordered another set because I lost a couple and friends have been asking me to give them mine. Money well spent.

Mine was hard plastic, but I was able to apply pressure to the front pushing it back and it cleared the lip that was holding it on and I was able to lift it off.

Though it is some sort of plastic, but not hard that it is stiff and not soft that it is flexible. On a scale from 1 to 10 with 1 being soft and 10 being hard, I would give it an 8. It is quite durable, but not too hard that a teething child would hurt himself with. My 6-year old enjoys it in the tub because it is not too hard for him to play with, though I think he would like it more if it were squishy, but that's another issue.

It is a hard plastic... very durable! I installed this thing 2-3 weeks ago, and love it!

The nipple itself is softish. Can be bitten without chipping a tooth but is tough enough to be sturdy. The surrounding cap/holder is far more rigid so you pull out the softer nipple to drink.

They are plastic. They are not flimsy. They are solid. The teeth appear to be plastic as well.

It's hard plastic. The ends are quite flexible making a perfect little rattle. It's been a favorite with baby and with us.

It's pretty hard plastic. But if the dog is a bad chewer you might need another option. Worked great for my cats.

The bit valves and straws are easy to find. The cap is much harder. My son broke the plastic part that holds the bite valve, which meant the whole cap needed to be replaced. I could only find it at the camelbak web site: http://shop.camelbak.com/accessories/replacements/bottle/l/322

to be honest, I'm not sure. But the top feels like rubber or soft plastic. the mouth piece is plastic.

Yes, you can consider them a very firm plastic. Hard as in durable - not breakable. They are quite sturdy. I have been using them regularly for a few years, and they are still in perfect condition. Hope this helps.

The original shields I bought 3 years ago were soft, these are hard plastic however I don't even notice a difference in the comfort level. The replacement parts are very difficult to find and these work perfectly. Hope that helps!

Hard plastic. I'm not sure if we did something wrong, but after using them for a couple of months they starting sticking and squeaking. We tried to get all the water out but it didn't help. They were great at the beginning and my grandson and all the other kids (and adults) loved them. They were easy to use and shoot across the pool.

The base of it is part of the cap, that part is hard. The top pulls out of the base is soft. So the part that you put in your mouth is soft like rubber. I hope that makes sense

Hard plastic, very small. you can fit them in your hand. Fish in my fishtank are bigger.
