CamelBak Podium Steel Insulated Stainless Steel Bike Water Bottle – for Cycling, Fitness & Sports- Fits Most Bike Cages, 22oz - Stone

These bottles are outstanding at keeping drinks cold on hot days and super easy to drink from. I hIghly recommend. I have two, a plain metal and stone colored. The metal bottle gets grungy, but can be cleaned. Unfortunately the paint wears off the colored bottle very quickly. The picture, is after just two rides.Given they are steel, they are heavy; 8 oz more than a plastic Camel back of the same size. It's just the tradeoff for cold water in summer that I gladly make.Pro tip: When not in the bottle cage remember to twist the top to seal it. If the bottle tips over, it'll drain right out, which is what makes it so easy to drink from on the road. Not a critique, just a warning.

Heavier than my insulated plastic bottle which is expected since it’s stainless steel but my drink stayed cold throughout my bike rides this summer in the Texas heat

I'm very pleased with this bike water bottle. I also have the soft insulated Podium bottle which only keeps water cold for about 45 minutes even with ice. This is a game changer. It fits well in the bike bottle cage, however it's tall, make sure you have clearance from your top tube) it's It only needs a few ice cubes when filling, the rest is water. The water will be refreshingly COLD even several hours into the ride on a hot day. You do not need to squeeze the bottle to drink or suck the mouthpiece, the water flows easily after tipping the bottle. The shutoff value is easy to manipulate and does not leak. Some have mentioned a metallic taste, I did as well initially but it has since dissipated. It is heaver than a plastic bottle by several ounces but I'll happily trade the small weight difference for cold water on these hot summer rides!

I love almost everything about this bottle, I had another Camelbak bottle that lasted for years and I'm pretty sure this one will last a lot of time My only concern is that the bottle is a bit heavy without any fluid inside, so, when you fill it it will weight around 3 lbs which is a bit much if you plan to carry it whit other stuffs.

Love how easy it is to drink from and that it keeps my water cold. If you are concerned about weight, this may not suit you. For me it is perfect and none of that weird plastic taste.

These weigh significantly more then plastic bottles, but at least for me, the trade off for flavor free ice cold water is well worth it. As other reviewers have noted, the stone color gets marks pretty fast. The stainless does better, I will try black on my next purchase. I leave the valves open all the time and don't seem to have spillage problems. No rattling in the carbon cages on either on my road bikes. I worry a bit about dropping in groups so still carry plastic bottles on group rides.

VERY well insulated, keeps ice for hours. Well designed lock to prevent spills, comfortable mouthpiece. 10 out of 10. Spend the $, you'll never go back to plastic.

I've been a bike racer for 36 years and write from that point of view. I purchased this bottle because I was attracted to the advertised thermal characteristics. Sign me up for a bottle which will stay cold for 3 hours in the heat!Unfortunately, for cycling I ran into a some issues:1. The metal bottle constantly rattles against my titanium cage. It would rattle when I went over any small road imperfection. The near constant rattle was extremely annoying.2. The smooth metal of the bottle is hard to grip with sweaty fingers. I had to grip the bottle from the indent in the middle otherwise I risked dropping it.3. You can't vary the amount of liquid coming out of the bottle. The metal doesn't compress, so the bottle is going to flow at its own pace. The base amount was fine, but sometimes I want some more force from the nozzle.I think this bottle has it's place, but not on a bicycle.

I've had this bottle a couple of weeks and on about 5 bike rides of up to 5 hours at a time so far. I have NEVER seen cold liquids stay this cold/cool in direct sun and summer temperatures like this! Fantastic versus plastic bottles, and so much easier to keep clean and fresh inside. 5 stars!

Dieser Isoflasche hält lange kalt, sieht chic aus und ist hochwertig verarbeitet, keinerlei Beanstandungen.Der Drehverschluss ist schön gemacht, leichtgängig und rastet spürbar ein.Ansonsten toll, dass man sie für den Getränkehalter beim Radel nutzen kann.Meines Erachtens eine Empfehlung.

I have a couple of the plastic podium chill bottles but this is next level. If you pop some ice cubes into the bottle with your drink on a hot day it will still be cold hours later.It may be too heavy for some to use on a bike (I stick with plastic when cycling) but for day to day use it’s absolutely fantastic.

A peine reçu déjà essayer , j'avais la podium 710ml plastique avec un papier thermorégulateur entre les parois me durai 2h et juste frais a la fin , celle çi en allu dure 3h et restais des glaçon a l'intérieure bien frais elle peut durer 4 a 8 h facile ? 650mlça coule vraiment bien vous pouvez boire rapidement au goulot , rentre bien dans le porte gourde standard , quelque trace de l'enlever et remettre la gourde mais rien de méchant , je la conseil . J'AI FAIS UN ESSAI ET INCOROYABLE ?? mi des glaçons environ 6 puis de l'eau fraiche le lendemain a 8h30 il reste des glaçons s'est génial !

This bottle seems solid but fit poorly in my bike cage. Had to return it.
