Podium Bike Squeeze Water Bottle Smoke, 21oz

Good quality of product. Fits bottleholder perfectly. You need to have some solid suction to get water out, but definitely no spills. Looks good too.

Tested many, camelbak podium is the best cycling bottle. Great water stream, able to close so no leaks when not in use, smooth surface goes easily in and out of water bottle cages. Weighs less and holds more water than polar water bottles. We'll made and easy to clean. Awesome dark blue navy color

The insulation isn’t the best, so the water will warm up in a summer ride, but the plastic material is thicker and it doesn’t feel flimsy or cheap. The water taste was not impacted. Perfect for my bike rides and I even started using it at the gym

We have purchased several of these bottles. In general they are great--very sturdy with a secure valve that prevents leaking in purses and backpacks. The main thing consumers need to know is that mold will grow inside the components of the lid over time--even if you only use the bottle for water. Regular washing in the dishwasher will not get rid of it, and you cannot see it (much less get rid of it) unless you disassemble the lid. It was easy for my teenage son to take it apart, but a little tough for me with my older hands. Here's how to do it: Turn the lid upside down, pull out the soft, light grey stopper, and then pop the dark grey ring out, Then push the 2 sides of the drinking spout in until you can pop it out (that's the part I have trouble with). Pull the soft black O-ring off (a lot of the mold we found grows under here). After some internet searching we decided to soak all these parts in a mixture of warm water and white vinegar to kill the mold, then scrub with a dish brush, rinse in hot water, and dry completely before re-assembling. I've set a reminder on my phone to do this regularly since we use the water bottles pretty much every day.

Camelback products are so well made. Thought goes into the users experience. We need to get our bottles clean. Most brands don’t have the “take apart “ top to get a good cleaning. No one wants yucky slime growing in their bottles.. camelback chapeaux!

Perfect fit for my backpack. I use it for hiking. It does leak once in awhile, but assume I did not screw the lid on right.

This is my go to bottle. Works flawlessly, and nice clean design.

Water bottle works, but not a fan of the "spin" closure--it's very hard to do with one hand. I much prefer the "old style" with the "pull up" button on top that you can pull open with your teeth as you ride. Having said that, if you like the CamelBak closure system, then this would be a good choice.
