Camelbak Podium 24oz Smoke Bottle - 001 Black/Grey, N

Review of Camelbak Podium 24oz bike bottle in Smoke, after five months and few dozen uses. Bought to replace old bottle with pop-up teat that became detached. 24oz is just under 0.7 litres. Don't buy smaller than this, go bigger if you can! Colour is transparent and excellent. Twist cap seals well and hasn't leaked. Twist-lock teat superior to previous pop-up and hasn't broken so far. Yes, it's v difficult to use the twist lock one - handed but why would you need to? Once on the bike I leave it open so I can grab and squirt (so to speak) as I ride. Dishwasher dulls the relatively soft plastic of the bottle so I wash that by hand. As it's not in contact with mouth and only water goes in it, a quick swoosh with soapy water then rinse is best. The cap still goes in the dishwasher and no effect on operation, nor on appearance. Great product.

Great bottle, upgraded mouth sucky thingy, that's easier to clean. Not as heavy as it suggests. Probably 4oz. I suspect it holds about 24 fluid ounces, or fl Oz.

Looking for a new water bottle , look no further, it does what it says on the tin. The anti leak cap is very easy to use and even when you forget to lock it it doesn’t leak. It’s durable for a plastic bottle but I can’t say I’ve done anything to extreme with it. No it doesn’t keep cold drinks cold, it’s not insulated but that wasn’t a feature I was after. It is very easy to clean as all of the parts come apart but if you put electrolytes inside with your water , it will need some extra cleaning. If you don’t it will leave a funny taste in your mouth from your previous drink. Overall it’s a good water bottle , good value and I can recommend.

The rubber seals that lock the bottles and are the headline of these bottles don't have to be in place as the bottle don't drip, still, DONT put them in a dishwasher as it screws them up! - when you've nearly finished the drink, the position of the inside nozzle doesn't allow the last bit to be emptied 🤷

Excellent , as described

Great bottle, no leaking.

I can imagine this is great for some sports but none that involve drinking while still moving or any that involve dirt, something like Snooker or Darts. Starting with the positives, excellent build quality and use of plastics, compared to my cheaper bottles the body of the bottle is very squeezable and the silicone mouth peice is easy on the lips as aposed to smashing teeth and lips onto hard plastics whilst trying to move and drink at the same time. I had purchased this for cycling, and have previously used SIS bottles with the standard style mouth operated pull up mechanisms. I feel this bottle has tried to be purposely different for the sake of it. The valve mechanism requies that you use two hands (one to hold the bottle, one to open the twist valve) which seems very inpracticle for any sport where you continue moving whilst trying to drink or trying to quickly access water. Also the mouthpeice has a large hole that I have found when cycling with the bottle in the bottle cage just fills up with dirt and dust. So you get a lovely mouthful of dirt whilst drinking, plus the silicone makes the dust and dirt stick to the material. I understand that camelbak also sell a separate "mud cap" for £6.95 but these seems absolutley rediculous fixing an issue that shouldn't exist in the first place then charging me for it as an accessory. Plus that means an additional step of taking of that cap before opening the valve to take a drink. I purchased this primarily as I liked the look of it and know of Camelbak as a reputable brand. I would have less of an issue if this wasn't targeted as a sports bottle and list the sports alognside cycling in the name. Good quality but rather impracticle.

Great bottle no leaking at all but does have a slight plastic taste.

Produto exatamente como o anunciado, excelente transparência era o que eu estava procurando, muito bem acabado, resistente, padrão de primeira linha vale cada centavo, ótimo produto.

Blando a la hora de apretar y que salga el agua, buena boquilla, excelente bidón aunque algo caro.

These bottles were bought to replace the exact same bottles that have been well-loved and well-used for several years. (Seriously, my husband cycles about 5000 miles a year, so these bottles have really held up well.) Eventually, the inner rubber piece in the drinking spout will tear if you take it apart to wash (which you should do regularly because it will grow mold inside if you don't) and that has now happened to the old ones, but they have been great bottles because THEY DON'T LEAK during use. Please be aware that the black bottles will draw heat and warm your water much faster than a lighter color bottle.

Cycle everyday and I've had other bottles but this one is the best one so far
