Review by gfparsonsImproved Designby gfparsonsCycling EnthusiastSanta FeThis new and improved design of the Camelbak Podium water bottle makes a big difference, No drips onto my bike frame as the seal is very secure compared to the old model. The material feels stronger as well. The smoke color is understated and matches my bike.

Review by CernunnosBad taste by CernunnosNYC0 of 1 customers found this review helpful.I have two of these and they have developed an unpleasant odor after about a year's use. The odor develops into an unpleasant taste in water after a few minutes-a soapy perfume taste. I rarely use soap to clean them. I've tried soaking them in vinegar, baking soda, but nothing seems to help.

Review by JohnNice bottle with easy squeeze by JohnNew JerseyThis is a nice bottle with an easy squeeze top. The bottle fits the cage nicely. It is not insulated. The 24 ounce size is great for short rides.

Review by Sarahyep, it works!by SarahCasual CyclistBrooklyn, NYGreat water bottle for biking, super easy to squeeze and holds a good amount. I like the nozzle closure and that it can be taken apart for cleaning. I try to avoid buying plastic but my metal water bottles are just too heavy and don't hold enough, so hopefully this one holds up for a long time!

Review by MaddyAn actual breakthrough in bottle technologyby MaddyDaily CommuterNew York, NYThis is the first bike bottle I've had that didn't break. On my past two bottles, the top flange has cracked off when the bottle was dropped, but this one is ingeniously made and somehow made of stronger, more flexible stuff.

Review by Nate MGreat size and flowby Nate MRhode IslandLove these water bottles. I need a lot of water so having the extra capacity is nice. Also, these have a really consistent flow when you squeeze them, which is always nice for a quick shot when you're working hard.

Review by John CGreat Bottleby John CCycling EnthusiastMilwaukie, OregonI use it while cycling and working out in the gym. When unlocked, you can drink easily but it doesn't allow liquid to spill if you drop it. Great at the gym cause I'm constantly moving and in a bicycle bottle holder it's just as easy.

Review by VelobeckToo many parts.by VelobeckCycling EnthusiastTacoma, WA1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.These function wonderfully but are a pain to clean. The cap is composed of 4, yes four, detachable parts which according to Camelbak need to be separated to clean. On a good day my hands are strong enough to separate the nozzle from the cap, but other times not. Again, once cleaned and assembled they work great.

Review by BubblesSolid Bottleby BubblesCycling EnthusiastThe Mighty Mitten4 of 4 customers found this review helpful.I've had a couple of the previous versions of the podium bottle. For my purposes this one is the best so far. It's softermore supple and fluids flow from the valve more smoothly. However, the updated locking closure is less refined as it is stiffer and less ergonomic (sharper edges and less surface area), making it more difficult to open while ridingI make sure I open it before I'm riding seriously. FYI the black is glossy the pic makes it look like a matte or satin finish.
