Is the straw mechanism similar to a Camelback or more like a traditional straw?

There is a silicone straw inside the vessel that attaches to the lid(it is removable for washing) and then the lid has a flip top like straw coming off the top of the lid. This is what you put in your mouth on and sip like a straw. No biting or extra squeezing like a camelback. They work really nice and do not leak.

It is a rectangular flip up sip top ... not a straw. I have never used a Camel-back but I am guessing it is very similar.

It has a hard mouthpiece with a removeable hard rubber shell and internally it has a soft straw leading to the filter which sits at the bottom. It's not like a camelback at all really.

It's not bouncy like the old school wonder horse. I think it's stiff, because I am used to the type that they can really bounce on compared to this, which is more of a rocking type. My son still really loves it, but I was disappointed because I think he would have liked the old style better. I do like that the springs have a sleeve over them, as when I was a child I often pinched my fingers and arms on the springs of my wonder horse.

I would say yes, but haven't tried with a straw. There is not a specific opening for a straw.

it's the same as a standard straw, BUT as they are hard (acrylic type) there is no give. For example i have some older tervis cups with older lids that they won't fit thru, but the new tervis lids they will. i would say don't risk it. they are really cool straws though .....hope that helps ;)

No, the family version does not use additional straws, it has it's own primary and secondary filter that provides enough filtration for the total of 18000 liters. The difference between the two is, you have two pieces separated by a hose and gravity is what pushes the filtered water through instead of suction like the straw.

Yes these are just like the normal camel bak water bottle replacement bite valves. Not sure if you can reorder the entire cap though. Also the replacement valves usually come with replacement straws too.

Yes, it is. Also, FYI, I am unhappy with the small hole on top, plus space around the straw that allow leaking if it tips or falls over. I read others note this & thought it would not be a problem for me, but it has been. Currently looking for one like this (I like all the other features.) w/o holes on top.

It is a straw cup, though I have got another color, it shouldn't make any difference. I'm also using the foogo series and don't see any difference. Thermos also has various series for various markets, check the ones for far east, must be better quality and cuter design

I have it on a standard camelback hose and have had no complaints at all. Used it in a 40 mile hike and worked great.

I don't know about that. Mine didn't work well and we eventually tossed it. (Darn! Wish I'd kept the straw for you!)

No. It has a small oval shaped opening (much like styrofoam coffee cups) which would be too small for a regular sized straw.

It is basically the same straw that comes with the insulated cups. I bought them because I needed one, and shortly after they arrived a straw in another cup broke and it worked for that cup as well.

Yea! The replacement is not for the straws, it's just the filters. You can buy them through amazon right here:Camelbak Groove Accessory Filters (2 Hydration Pack)

No straw and the spout opening mechanism is a little tough to maneuver at first, but has gotten easier with use. My 4 year old is able to work it, but my 2 year can't.

They sell a version with a straw hole. Same company/size and all, but with the extra hole.

I just ordered the condor on Amazon. You can also get Camelback gyration bladders they are supposed to be better.

It islike a normal sippy. They do offer a straw on their website now though.
