CamelBak Podium Water Bottle 21oz, Black

Based on first uses and impressions it's a great product! I absolutely love this water bottle in the bottle blue/pink color combination. The body is on the firm side concerning the squeeze action on the plastic body, so don't expect a soft bottle like the traditional Gatorade squeeze bottles. The mouth piece or spout is a nice soft silicone texture rather than a hard plastic which is something I didn't realize but ended up appreciating. I bought this bottle for my daily walks so I can't speak for riding fit. I wish it had a handle or leash for walks, but I fashioned one out of some thin paracord that I had and the cap holds it down well and doesn't leak by doing this. No leak at the cap when squeezing either under normal use either.

Wonderful product. Light, flexible, everything works. Camelback is the premier name in the skiing, hiking and cycling sports for water systems. They’ve now taken that technology to the mouthpiece of simple water bottles.

Great for mountain biking!

The bottle is alright, but 30 mins into a ride the water just has a gritty texture. Every component was washed with dish soap, a sponge, and water before use, so not sure why my water is getting a weird texture. The locking mechanism is kinda annoying and isn’t for me lol, definitely have a preference for the pull out bottle tips.

Really like this water bottle! Fits & stays securely in holder, big gap to fill quickly and/or fit ice in, squeezes nicely to drink, returns to shape quickly, high flow no-leak nozzle. Saw a low review, complaining about "needing two hands to open nozzle, useless while riding." But it has their self sealing cap, AND the on/off valve for no leak transport. (There's no rule saying you HAVE to lock it every time you put it back on the ride, genius. Problem there is "Product smarter than customer").

This bottle is great. I ordered the "Carbon" color bottle, and the bottle I received is clear in color. Be aware, some retailers will call the "Carbon" bottle "Clear", and some will call the "Smoke" bottle "Clear". With any of these, you will be able to see the water level through the plastic. I posted a picture of the "Carbon" bottle I received. It's easy to hold, lasts for years, does not accumulate any smells or funny taste, and is easy to drink from.

I have one of these bottles in my car, one in my bedroom, and one by my living room chair. I am sick to death of the crappy one use water bottles sold in stores. The plastic bottles are so thin, i swear they distort just from looking at them. Also, their caps are so tiny, most of the time I take one off, it slips out of my hand and flys across the room. The water in the store bought bottles just fill these Camelbak bottles. I find that the lever to open and close the Camelbak bottle is a little awkward for me. But hey, I dont close them, when lever is in the open position I can drink from the bottle, and it does not spill when dropped .

This is a decent enough water bottle. I like the top and style, but it does not keep water cold at all. filled it with a bunch of ice and cold water before an hour long bike ride, in mostly shade on a 70 degree day, and it was barely cool by the end.

Tough bit of kit. There are cheaper water bottles out there, and I was reluctant to spend more on this, but it payed off. Nice bit of kit, plastic is robust and it has a rotating lock to stop the water spilling out. Nice size too.

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.

Camelback es calidad, y ademas esta boquilla es perfecta porque no pierdes agua y ademas se desmonta para lavarlo todo. Tengo otros bidones grandes y necesitaba uno de mas pequeño para la spark y no encontraba en ningun lado. los que habia son de otras marcas y no tienen ni la calidad de camelback y ademas pierden agua. Este cabe perfectamente.

These Camelbak nozzles are so good to drink from. No messing with opening, just squeeze the bottle! And they work over the long term as I've had the same bottle for years. And it also has a solid locking mechanism for locking the nozzle during transport. Only downside is that the nozzle area can attract moud/bacteria over the longer term, but a thorough cleaning does the job as it's easy to disassemble.
