i had to replace one of my bottles
and find the new camelback bottles are no longer as soft and tactile as the older design.
why did camel back change to a poorer design ?
regular size cyclist will not notice or care about the new design
but smaller people with smaller hands (me)
will see issues with the design.
Probably part of going BPA/BPS free.
Lots of BPA-free bottles used BPS which looks to have the same issues. Not sure what they are using as a plasticizer now.
