Review by Rene Me doaa
I ordered this water bottle and have had nothing but great complements on the color (light aqua blue). The flexibility of the plastic is perfect cause it will mold to the holder! Great product

It's a water bottle. Nothing more to say

It's not hot often or for long here in Portland, OR. I purchased these for a typical 3 hour ride and also used on longer rides. I absolutely hate these bottles. I used Camelback Podiums for years and recently have been using Purist bottles. The Camelback Podiums are very difficult to squeeze and do not keep my liquid cool for longer than any of my Purist bottles. Extremely disappointed. I left a couple of stars for the fact that they hold water and the locking mechanism works.

I honestly don't think my drink is any cooler in this bottle than in a 21oz uninsulated purist bottle. I'd used the podium bottles exclusively a few years ago and moved to the Purist bottles. You have to squeeze the Podium Chill really hard to launch the water into your mouth. The nozzle is less accurate than I remember how the Podium bottles pretty directly squirted water. I tried using it like a Purist bottle's nozzle but again, the plastic is too hard and I only get a sip. I ride road, mtb, and gravel and am pretty comfortable drinking in motion. These bottles have very little use to me, kinda sad.
Review by Hold the mold
This updated version was supposed to be easier to clean, but it is almost impossible to remove the valve assembly from the lid�and yes, mold grows in it if you ever put anything but water in it, don�t clean it instantly after use and don�t do what one friend does, which is keep the lids in the freezer.
Review by LukeBikeRider
This is the third Camelbak Podium Chill bottle I've owned. My first one is 10 years old and my second one is five years old. I figure that after 5 years they should be retired. I still have them though in my box of bike gear. I can't bring myself to throw them out.
Review by Bill (cycleguy)
I like these new bottles. While the valve is a bit harder to open and close, I am assured that nothing will leak out when I squeeze as ride. I like the ridges which make for easier gripping out of the cages. My only regret is that it did not come in an orange or a bright red (color of my Trek). I settled for the white. Great product Camelback!

I use ice in bottle and water stays cool for about 2 hours. Large bottles - front bottle on down tube easily accessible while riding and bottle on seat tube is a tight fit, but easily removable when stopped. Temps here are hot, and in 2 hours we're at 90 (easy) if we ride early. 3 hours in and the water will be pretty warm.

plenty of capacity to last all day
Review by TracyS
Great bottle- holds plenty of water and easy to get in and out of holder!
Review by Buc
Each time I fill up and place ice in it, it holds the water cold each time I ride in the hot Fla sun.
Review by Daniel
A regular bottle keeps my juice cold for maybe 15 minutes on a 90 degree day, so twice that time is only 30 minutes with this Camelbak, so set your expectations low enough.

Always use this product when cycling and working out. Never have to worry about spills as the Jet Valve does an excellent job of keeping fluids where they need to be.
