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

Great bottle, no leaking.

These are the best bottles on the market. Takes a little time getting use to the wider mouth piece but the locking of the valve means your bike doesnt get covered in your drink as you ride.

These water bottles are indestructible!!! We have a few of them at home and my children use them as their school water bottles. 3 years in and they are still going strong! They have been dropped numerous times and are still perfect. The only downside is that the bottle cap can be difficult to clean so you need to by a small bottle brush to clean it.

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.

I have used these bottles for years. They are large, don't have after taste or leak. They also fit in standard cycle bottle carriers

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 🤷

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.

A little on the expensive side but fit well in a small footprint.

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

The BEST so far out of green, blue, and light purple etc

ممتازة للدراجات بسعة مناسبة وتصميم مريح، خفيفة الوزن وسهلة الاستخدام أثناء التنقل. تحافظ على الترطيب بشكل فعال. أنصح بها لمحبي ركوب الدراجات

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

Cómodo y práctico, el tapón a presión funciona perfectamente.
