Thanks for tuning in
today we're going to be reviewing the
CamelBak MultiBev vacuum insulated
stainless steel bottle.
[Music]
Whether you're at the office or running
errands hydration is important that's
one great reason to carry a stainless
steel
travel bottle like this Camelbak. Now
what makes this CamelBak MultiBev
stand out from other stainless steel
bottles on the market is the fact that
it's more of a swiss army knife
of a bottle, it has multiple features
with separate components.
Now packaging wise really simple you see
the full bottle exposed here we have the
22 ounce variation here so it's quite
large.
Minimal graphics here with some nice
marketing shots on the side
you have a little diagram of how the
multiple parts of the bottle works.
This nice glossy graphic here as
well so you can actually see at the cap,
the center portion
the main thermos and then the travel
cup portion.
Let's go ahead and take it out of the
box and we'll go over the specs.
Retail price on this is $48 for the 17
ounce version
and they have the 22 ounce version that
we have here which is $50.
It's constructed from stainless steel so
it's very durable
with a powder coated design.
It has double wall vacuum insulation so
that means the main portion
of the bottle actually is good for 16
hours of hot
fluid and up to 24 for cold while the
16 ounce cup is good for 4 hours hot and
12 hours cold.
It has a non-slip silicone base as well
so
makes it really easy to use it withouti
it slipping.
I'll go ahead and take out the rest of
this material out and what you see is
inside the box pretty basic. There's
actually no real instructions it's
actually printed on the cards themselves.
You get the travel cap on here the
carrying case,
this attaches to the main bottle you get
the
roll-up cap as well.
This is a little rubber almost like a
coffee mug style cap
pop that off and as the instructions
show here
you can simply take this fold it up
and then drop it inside this top portion.
I'll do that right now
so you see have a little spot here roll
and fold
so you can pretty much drop that in here
and then close the cap on it. Let's
take a look at the weight of the bottle.
With everything together and the little
roll-up cap in the top
that comes in at 636 grams so
about one and a half pounds so fairly
heavy but still easy enough to carry.
Out of curiosity let's see what the
little travel cup by itself. It
weighs it that's 234
so not bad for a double walled insulated
steel bottle.

Now let's go over the fit and finish of
the CamelBak MultiBev.
It has a really nice premium look and
feel to it with nice weight to it.
You can see it has a powder coated
finish with this texture
and that gives a nice a non-grip surface.
The variation we have here today is the
22 ounce
and the white color. You can see it's very
sleek you only have CamelBak on the
bottom, CamelBak on the top
and then again on the other side of the
cap but otherwise unadorned.
It's also available in a black color
rose and green
if you want something a little bit more
color but otherwise really nice. You
could add stickers to this or your own
custom decorations or just leave it as
is.
It also has a nice non-slip base here
which is something you don't typically
see.
So that means if you're on a very
slippery desk or surface
this actually holds it pretty well and
won't fall over.
Now let's start taking it apart which is
the coolest part about this bottle
instead of just being a single bottle
it actually has a multi-purpose design.
So you have the
carrying handle here at top that'll
separate from the top cap
and that reveals a little storage area.
This is the rollup cap that I
already stored in there
this is almost like a little coffee mug
cap so if you don't need this
you can leave this at home and then use
this as a little storage bin. You can
put snacks in here
it's fairly well sized so nuts or even
chocolates, or whatever you need.
Underneath that, if you open that up
that'll reveal the main thermos part
which is the 22 ounces.
Steel walls very nice insulation
properties as we saw at 16 to 24 hours
depending on whether it's hot or cold
and then underneath that you can open
this up and you can see where this
little divider ring is
that reveals the little travel cup.
This is a really cool feature so
you can use the main thermos for coffee
or tea
and then you can use this as water
whenever you reach your destination.
Again this is a steel wall design
this is 16 ounces by itself so still
pretty large
and it carries a little silicon base and
this lets you either share the bottle
or use it for different purposes. The cap
designs here are also
shared with some other CamelBak products
and that's a nice feature so
that's compatible with the Chute Mag,
the Eddy, Carry Cap and the hot cap
vessels so
if you have other CamelBak variations
you can pop these on here so you can see
here.
With the pack and roll you can actually
just use this as a sipping cup
which is a nice feature.
Now let's do a quick comparison with
another stainless steel bottle we have
on hand, this is the swig savvy
this is 40 ounces so it's quite large.
You can see like traditional
stainless steel bottles you can see
it has a standard cap
a little carrying handle here on the
side. The nice thing about other caps
like this is that you have this separate
easy to remove a little drinking
portion while with the CamelBak you do
have to remove the full cap to drink out
of it so that's just one negative of the
CamelBak.
Otherwise you can see this is pretty
bulky and at 40 ounces it's a lot of
fluid to carry.
What i like about the CamelBak is not
only do you get the 22 ounce
center portion but you get the 16 ounce
travel cup portion which lets you share
the bottle at the top of a hike or use
it as a travel mug which is really great
feature.
It's a great way to get more use out
of a simple water bottle.
[Music]
Now let's go over the pros and cons for
the CamelBak MultiBev
bottle. What we like about it is the
multi-function design,
with the removable travel cup and the
interchangeable lids
it has a lot of versatility it also has
a very sleek powder coated matte finish
that looks premium
and feels robust as well. Finally the
silicon padding on the bottom of the
bottle prevents it from sliding
which is a nice subtle feature. Some of
the negatives for the bottle
is the premium price, at almost 50 for
the larger variation it is more
expensive than other bottles on the
market.
It's also only available in solid colors
you can't get any
more exciting graphic variations and
finally the carrying cap
does not fit the travel cup. The travel
cup is not compatible with the universal
CamelBak
caps. Taking everything into account we'd
give the MultiBev a nine out of ten.
This really is a swiss army knife of
bottles and it's great for traveling
hiking
or just in the office. Thanks for
