Oh I'm sure they leech microplastics... But so do megagulps. The only difference is that camelbacks are almost entirely used for water (and probably some college kids alcoholic beverages) the difference is that these massive jugs usually contain soda, which covers up the plastic taste, and most are acidic, so they also contribute to the deterioration of the plastics in the container on top of that.

They are also insulated, and keep cold for far longer than the camelbak.

I have one of thos jugs I use exclusively for water when im working outside. They're great. Most of my family does the same thing. The type of container you drink out of doesn't mean anything.
