CamelBak Podium Dirt Chill Water Bottle 21oz, Berry Digi Camo

**Review: CamelBak Podium Dirt Series Chill Insulated Mountain Bike Water Bottle 21oz** **Pros:** 1. **Advanced Insulation:** The CamelBak Podium Dirt Series Chill Water Bottle is equipped with double-walled insulation, keeping your water cold twice as long as standard bottles. Whether you're hitting the trails on a hot summer day or embarking on a long ride, this bottle ensures your hydration stays refreshingly cold throughout your adventure. 2. **Durable Construction:** Designed specifically for mountain biking, this water bottle features a rugged construction that can withstand the demands of off-road terrain. The high-quality materials and robust build ensure durability and reliability, even in the most challenging riding conditions. 3. **High Flow Rate:** The Podium Dirt Series Chill Water Bottle is engineered with CamelBak's patented Jet Valve technology, delivering a high flow rate for effortless hydration on the go. With just a squeeze, you can quickly replenish your fluids without slowing down or interrupting your ride. 4. **Easy to Clean:** Maintaining hygiene is easy with the CamelBak Podium Dirt Series Chill Water Bottle, thanks to its innovative self-sealing valve and removable nozzle. The bottle is dishwasher safe, allowing for convenient and thorough cleaning after each use, ensuring your water stays fresh and free from bacteria buildup. **Cons:** 1. **Limited Capacity:** With a capacity of 21 ounces, some users may find the CamelBak Podium Dirt Series Chill Water Bottle to be on the smaller side, especially for longer rides or intense workouts. Those requiring a larger volume of hydration may need to refill the bottle more frequently. 2. **Price Point:** Compared to standard water bottles, the CamelBak Podium Dirt Series Chill Water Bottle may be priced slightly higher due to its advanced insulation and specialized features. While the quality and performance justify the cost for many users, budget-conscious consumers may find it to be a significant investment. 3. **Compatibility Issues:** The unique design of the Podium Dirt Series Chill Water Bottle may not be compatible with all bike cages or holders, particularly those designed for standard water bottles. Some users may need to purchase additional accessories or adapters to ensure a secure and stable fit on their bike. 4. **Condensation Buildup:** While the insulation keeps the contents of the bottle cold, it may also lead to condensation buildup on the exterior surface, potentially causing slippery hands or wet surfaces. Using a bottle cage with a protective sleeve or carrying the bottle in a backpack can help mitigate this issue. Overall, the CamelBak Podium Dirt Series Chill Insulated Mountain Bike Water Bottle 21oz offers exceptional performance and durability for avid mountain bikers seeking reliable hydration solutions on the trails. Despite some considerations such as capacity and price, its advanced insulation, high flow rate, and easy maintenance make it a top choice for staying hydrated and focused during off-road adventures.

Not as good as steel but great for short bike rides

Loved it, closure feature, easy to disassemble to clean, good seal minimal leakage, love the cap keeping dirt etc out the spout, only thing is would like if it kept things cold a bit longer, but still, great product, and for the price? A steal

⚠️ Quick Update (04/19/2023) ⚠️ Got my second bottle cage put on and added a second podium bottle (non insulated) for additional hydration 😎 Check out my new photos 📸😅👋 Original Review I've taken up cycling for recreation fairly recently and I'm loving it! Here are my 2 cents on this Podium insulated bottle by CamelBak: Pros 👍👍👍 - Dirt-Proof: This was the selling point for me. I've tried different bottles in the past, including one from Schwinn. This one worked the best at keeping (most) dust away from the drinking spout 🙌 - Locking Function: No Spills, No Squirts and No Surprises! - Overall, really good fit and finish. Cons 👎👎👎 - Insulation: It's a good idea on paper but in reality it has limited functionality. That's a nice way of saying, it doesn't really work! - A little pricy. My Recommendation 🤔 If you enjoy riding your bike and are tired of ingesting dirt, this bottle is for you! This bottle has served me very well. If anything, I need another bottle cage and second bottle! Can't wait for the next time it goes on sale! Note on Cleaning 🧴🫧🤔 I've seen one review that shows this bottle can get moldy. That was a little concerning to me but I rinse mine with warm water and dish soap after each ride and let it air dry on a rack. Honestly, I haven't experienced any mold or smell in my bottle. Take that for what it's worth! Hope my short review has helped you make a more informed buying decision 👍😊✌️

I originally got this for my trail rides but I ended up using for work. I work in construction areas, so mostly outside, and I need to hydrate myself during the summer. I took this bottle because it keeps my drinks cool a little longer that just a regular water bottle, and it's lighter that a metal insulated bottle (it does sacrifice how long it keeps the water cool compared to the metal bottles). The dirt cap does an excellent job at keeping mud or sand from the tip. My only complaint is that it's hard to clean, especially inside the cap since it's easy for mold to accumulate if not wash properly. overall I love these bottles for both work and MTB, I have 3 of these.

I've had a couple of these for several years now and recently bought 2 more. The chill series is only marginally better at keeping the liquid cold for longer, but the reap value is in the dirt series cap. I ride gravel and road mix, and my cages get dirty. Like real dirty. And I do not want to drink any of that when I'm out for a 20 mile ride. These bottle has the cap that covers the spout and makes drinking a clean and dirt free experience. Easy to take apart after the ride and quick to clean up with a bottle brush. Great size, durable, and I expect to keep and use these bottles for years to come. I won't go on any of my longer rides without at least one of these bottles.

"Dirt Series" just means that it includes the little mud cap that goes over the spout, but it's a very worthy addition if you ride on gravel or dirt trails. If you already have a Camelbak podium bottle you can purchase the mud cap separately, by the way. Anyway, great bottle, stands up to the dishwasher well (top rack), does a reasonable job insulating, comfortable spout, doesn't seem to dribble if stored on its side with the valve open. If I need a new water bottle for my bike, this is the one I'm buying.

On long, dusty (or muddy) bike trips, I was growing weary of drinking from dirty bottle spouts. So I got this bottle because of its nozzle cover. I am extremely pleased with that cover and the resulting clean tastes of water, but I got so much more with this bottle. It's insulated, which is a bonus. It works so well as a squeeze bottle that I don't even touch my mouth to it, so I don't feel the need to always clean the inside. But if I need to, the cap and nozzle separate into several pieces to make it easy to clean. The lock works absolutely perfectly: can't even squeeze a drop out if I wanted to. And lastly, it fits perfectly in the bottle cage on my bike. I couldn't imagine a better bottle!

Es bueno.

Excelente producto de buena calidad, aunque no me llego el color que compré

Tolle Qualität, hält Getränke warm oder kalt.

まずキャップ付き 泥ハネ砂ハネしても清潔 吸えば出てくるし、握って押しても出てくる 飲みやすい そして全部分解して洗える 数ヶ月使ってきて隅の方に黒ずみ出来ててブラシも入っていかないしどうしようかと思ってたらちゃんと分解して掃除できた 蓋から飲み口外すためには、水が出てくる状態(「オープン↔ロック」のオープン側)にしたら外しやすくなる いままで数ヶ月間ずっと分解できないと思ってて、洗剤でゆすいで飲み口から出す程度の洗浄しかしてなかったから、徹底的にブラシで水垢落としてやった

Buen producto 👌
