CamelBak® Expands Industry’s Best-Selling Water Bottle Line to Include Glass Version of eddy™

PETALUMA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CamelBak® introduces eddy™ Glass, the newest addition to its water bottle collection. CamelBak knows there are a multitude of ways to define when, where or how to hydrate, and now it has another spill-proof alternative to its Tritan and Stainless Steel offerings.

“We recognize that different consumers have different preferences in their reusable water bottles”

Like all of its innovations, eddy Glass was developed as a result of listening to consumers who use CamelBak products, and it represents an industry first by solving the need for one-handed and spill-proof access to hydration in a glass bottle that is reusable, taste neutral and dishwasher safe.

CamelBak combined the redesigned and re-engineered eddy cap technology with an easy-grip silicone sleeve that shows off the glass, protects the bottle, is simple to remove for cleaning and easy to customize. The glass bottle is constructed from durable glass manufactured in France.

Like all eddy bottles, eddy Glass features the one-piece, spill-proof Bite Valve and thumb tab making it easy to grip and sip without tipping. eddy Glass also incorporates the larger, easy-to-clean straw that delivers improved flow rate, which means more water with less effort. A shielded vent valve also helps protect against dirt and leaks.

“We recognize that different consumers have different preferences in their reusable water bottles,” said Jon Austen, Director of Product Management at CamelBak. “Some consumers just prefer to drink out of glass, and we wanted to give people this option while still providing the benefit of CamelBak’s spill-proof Bite Valve, which has been proven to help people drink more water.”

eddy Glass is available in four different sleeve colors, including Aqua, Purple, Lime and Charcoal and is available nationwide with suggested retail prices of $25.
