I wonder, is Camelbak the only cycling water bottle that you don't have a nipple to pull out with your teeth before you take a drink?

I think the Polar Breakaway bottles do the same thing now. https://polarbottle.com/collections/bike-bottles

50Strong sells both types, pull up, and one-way similar to the CamelBak.

I have bottles from Elite, Specialized, Tacx, and Camelbak (podium 1st gen, 2nd gen, and 3rd gen). Personally, I prefer the push pull close design. Camelbak's valve opening is prone to dirt and dust building up so I only use the Podium on dry and non-dusty rides, Although for the 3rd generation current year model, the Podium dirt series solved that problem with a valve lid.
To answer your question, Specialized has an option for you.

The watergate is IMO best of both worlds. Yes, its push/pull, but you can pull it open once and leave it there forever if you want. But at least you have the option to close it a bit more securely/leakproof (eg for throwing in a bag) than the FIXY allows.

You know.. don't hold me to this, but unless you also already have a specialized bottle, I don't think the threading of the caps on these are universal.

I don't know what Spec uses but my Camelcaps are diff from my other bottles. Could not find my Camelcap and fought for a week with leaks.

For time I don't need insulation, the camelbak podium caps fit polar bottles - the only ones I've found that take the lego.

My purist cap does fit one generic water bottle I have, but not another one I have. OTOH it does NOT fit a Camelback podium, and likewise a Camelback podium cap doesn't fit anything other than another Camelback bottle afaik.
Typical bike product industry.. can't even settle on a bottle cap threading standard.

I got my Fixy cap that Specialized sent for free and it does not fit my Polar or Rapha (both non-insulated). It kind of fits the Camelbak podium chill, but it's not a squeeze and drink cap - if you try that it leaks - if there's no suction it will spill all over you.
