I would advise anyone who gets one of these to check and make sure it's not one of the recalled versions. I recently purchased one thinking I was replacing my recalled cap and the brew from the store item was also included in the recall.

They're as good as it gets for a plastic bottle though. They're better than the polar bottles. If you fill them with ice and cold water you can stretch about 2 hours out of them. I've tried a ton a bottles trying to find a lightweight insulated bottle which can stand up to 110+ desert heat. Your next option is a HydroFlask Trail, but they get too hot to touch in the desert or an insulated hydration bladder, which is the best option, but a lot of people don't like wearing them.
Great bottles for roadies, particularly in the 21 ounce size. 24 ounce can be a bit tall for some frames.

To people complaining they don't keep the liquid cold/cool for hours, you should be drinking a bottle an hour on the bike anyway (sometimes more) so they should be drained before the liquid gets warm. Besides, warm water is better than no water.

I've often wondered who at CamelBak thought that it was a good idea to make a BLACK insulated bottle. BLACK = HOT. Crazy.

The person that was crazy smart and knew I wanted to match my black bike.

I've had two Podium Ice that matched my old red bike, but my new bike is black and I wanted some camelbak bottles that matched it. But at the price, it was hard to spring for them. This makes it a snap.

I will just add - are these going to keep your water/drink super cold forever? NO
But are they going to do better than a standard water bottle with no insulation at all? YES

Own last 3 generations of Podium Chill bottles. The latest gen is noticeably worse than previous gen that used rounder caps and the easy to squeeze middle.

New caps don't stream strong like old ones and they dribble (very annoying). Also these new bottles if you put in fridge and put on bike, the outside sweats and gets super slippery. This did not happen on the older bottles. And Camelbak says they made that skinny silhouette in the middle to fit in bottle cages better and now you can only squeeze from bottom.

TLDR: the latest Camelbak Podium Chill bottles suck. I might have to try some other brand.

EDIT: However, their lifetime warranty is still best on planet, and they will replace broken caps for life!

I just picked this up and it's not in recall list.
I didn't realize this had a mouth piece exposed, I somehow thought it had a cap that we could pull out, mouth piece is exposed and soft, so I think it will collect debris, I suppose this is why its advertised as squeeze water bottle. ​

It's super light, that's a huge plus, compared to insulated metal/glass/hard plastic ones.
White one is semi-see through will definitely let sun go through, not sure if black one was solid.

Not just roadies, I use them mountain biking in an Osprey lumbar pack.

If you bike off-road, I recommend the Camelbak Dirt series bottles. The mud guard prevents dust from accumulating on the mouthpiece. They sell the mud guard separately too.

The insulated 21oz bottle is taller by a few inches than the non-insulated one. I bought two for my MTB, one for my down tube and the other for my seat tube. The latter hits my top tube.

You can get the version with the dust cap for $11.73 right now at REI. Not as good of a deal but still a good price if you need this water bottle for dirty or dusty areas. https://www.rei.com/rei-garage/pr...e-21-fl-oz

I have two of these and they are great. Don't expect the dual vacuum wall level of insulation though. It's just a thin layer of foam. I got them for bike riding and it's obviously better than a thin-wall plastic. I use it around the house from time to time and the biggest benefit is that even with ice in them, they will not condense much water so you can leave them on a wooden table or whatever and you won't come back to a puddle.

Quote from J03 :
I don't think you can do any better than this with a basic soft plastic bottle. Double wall insulated stainless bottles are the best at keeping drinks cold for long periods of time but the downside is that they can get hot to the touch in the sun. I have a Contigo that will keep ice in my water all day without issue.
Agreed on the double wall stainless, myself an d my partner each have an Iron Flask 64oz and they are incredible at keeping drinks cold! Spent 2 hours at my pool last week in 110 degree heat, still had ice in the bottle the next day. This was after the bottle was almost too hot to touch on the outside when done at the pool.

Great water bottles. I've ridden in 100+ degree heat. If you want cold water for longer I just throw one of them in the freezer for a couple hours before the ride.

Do these clean easily? What about leaks? Would like to be able to throw the bottle in my bag or on the seat of a car etc without having to worry about stuff getting wet

First a quick facepalm for me not noticing this is an ONLINE ONLY deal. I went to the store only to notice they were almost 2x the price. Did an online purchase and was able to get through quick and easy for pickup order, but a pain that I did the drive twice.

Yes.
Cleaning - the caps disassemble pretty readily so you can clean it pretty well. This is MUCH better than gen 1 caps that did not.

Leaks - never had an issue when I tightened the cap well and locked it (they have a flow lock). Take care of both, and you should be good. Though they likely will sweat on your stuff if they are really cold.

Picked up 2 black. I bought a set of white at REI for DH Father's Day @$16. He said they were much better than the cheap ones he picked up at the bike shop years ago and fit well on his new bike.
