I''m taking care of an elderly gentleman who is bedridden and spills are a major nuisance. This hands free adapter, combined with the better bottle, make keeping hydrated much easier and neater.
CamelBak BPA-Free Better Water Bottle with Bite Valve
Works good, Got it for a good price ($5).
My only complaint is that my water bottle (.75 L) only lasts me about 15 minutes on a bike ride when I have this adapter hooked up (which is good because I am drinking more water... but means I have to carry a refill).
If you plan on using it a lot, skip out on converting your bottle and just get one of those $25 actual pouch thingys.
If you do get this, get one of those Camelbak "Camel clips" for $3 so you can clip the straw to your shirt, other wise (unless you have a back pack that pulls the straw up through your back pack strap) your mouth piece will just dangle inaccessibly.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I use CamelBak water bottles daily, but wanted a little more ease using them during certain day-trip like situations and music festivals. I also don''t want to deal with the hassle of cleaning and drying a bladder. I bought this and used a recent Disney trip as a test-run and it worked wonderfully. It was easy to use, I drank a ton more water than usual, the water flows really well and it was simple to clean after. For it''s purpose, it works great! My only complaint is that I had to order the clip separately and it really isn''t as easy to use without the clip. It should come with it!!

I bought this while I was commuting to school by bicycle. I do not have a bottle cage on the bike that I was riding, but I was wearing a backpack with pocket made for a water bottle. This worked out well because I could leave the bottle in the backpack and put this over my shoulder I also put a velcro band around the shoulder strap and the tube to keep it from flying around too much. Because of the design it takes a little more suction than the standard CamelBak to get a drink, but it is not so much that it is a problem.
I would recommend it for someone looking to do the same thing most backpacks anymore have that side water bottle holder and the CamelBak bottle this goes with is really nice.
Want Camelbak Better Bottle Hands Free Adapter Discount?
I am putting together a solution for motorcycle riding... a Camelbak Eddy Stainless Insulated Bottle, connected to a tube with a retractable clip. I don''t want to wear a water bag on me, and I am uninterested in attaching a cup holder (just yet) to the Sportster. So the intention is to have the bottle lay on its side up behind the bars, and I can grab the tube anytime for hydrating, which will retract back to where I have it clipped while riding.
This "Better Bottle Hands Free Adapter" is NOT made for the Eddy, evidently; meaning nowhere in the documentation for either product is there any indication of compatability.
But the Eddy looks so much like a Better Bottle in the pictures I figured I''d try combining them.
Now, I have not ever actually seen a Better Bottle, so I don''t know how to compare the fit for "properness", but I will tell you that the fit to the Eddy does not appear to be a perfect match.
That said, maybe they actually designed it to fit this way (?).
I -cantell you that..
1) its working
2) I am a little concerned about it coming off, but so far no problems.
3) No leaking observed.
It is taking awhile to get the taste out of the plastic tube. To be expected I would guess.

This is the most basic bottle cage you can get. It''s perfect for the weekend warrior or everyday exercise and it will hold up well. With a little force you can actually bend the cage to fit your water bottle. I have two and this one looks a little bulky on my road bike, but it looks well sexy on my MTB.
