CamelBak Podium® Chill™, Water Bottle, 24oz, White

The Podium Chill is a fine water bottle, but the Podium Chill Insulated is another beast. The Insulated is a must! The Insulated keeps the water fairly cold, while the top secures the eater so no leaks occur and the sip valve is top quality.

I love these bottles. This is my second second set. The insulation is key where I ride. Nobody wants hot water when you're working hard. I like the new simple/clean look.

Have taken these out for two rides for 25 and 50 miles. Although the temps have not been all that hot, I really love the tops on the ease of getting them out of the bike holders and the tops on ease to drink. The added feature of lock is nice for the 2nd bottle incase of any issues. Would buy these again, easy cleaning as well!

While the color was what I was going for, the Podium version simply does not allow as much liquid to be squeezed into your mouth as the previous version of Camelbak's water bottles. In fact, about HALF as much! So it's frustrating.

I am obsessed with my 2018 style podium chill, I cannot go a day without it. It had the perfect ratio between size, weight, mouth feel, and drinkability. You can easily chug a decent amount of water by squeezing the bottle when your training and dying of thirst. HOWEVER, this new update is not the same! It is hard to squeeze and rotate the lock on the top making it more difficult to drink quickly while your playing sport or training. The mouth piece is much harder on your teeth and difficult to grip onto or chew leaving for an unsatisfying mouthfeel. I was so upset to see a change in my all time favorite drink bottle when I went to the store and not to mention the ugly colorway selection. The lid looks sleek but the colours and patterns are very sub-par. PLEASE BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL!

Great insulated water bottle. The capacity is only 24oz. Wish they still made the Podium Big Chill (25 oz) or a larger bottle. I've never finished a ride wishing I had taken less water with me and most road bikes have the space available for a larger bottle.

the new Cap closure system is way too tight when opening or closing. I assumed it was just the two bottles I bought at the LBS, so 2 replacement caps were mailed to me under warranty. They are even worse. They're so tight that, when moving the dial to open while in the cage, the whole cap unscrews, plus they are also very uncomfortable to turn. If I leave it in the open position, the valve leaks from road vibration when the bottle is full. I'm guessing no one ever field tested the new version.I happily switched years ago to Camelbak and ride about 600 miles a month. The rest of the upgrades were on track, but the cap is a deal breaker. Time to find a different option .

Let me start by saying that I've been a long time user of the older Podium Chill bottles. They've been the best bottle I've used for a while. I was excited to see the new version. I think the new version looks great and it's nice that they can be cleaned. However, the basic functionality of the bottle is a significant downgrade. They are much stiffer and it's almost impossible to squeeze the same amount of water as with the old bottles. I'll be buying a few of the old versions while I can. Hope they do a quick redesign of this new version.

Hi, I already got 3 podium bottle 2018. I love Camelbak trust me, but my goal is really to explain my experience with this product to try help you with this new bottle. I add water and when I press just under the CamelBak logo, where the part is smaller, I received a small amount of water and it was hard for my wrist! I got more water in the bottom, mais during road biking, I can't take the bottle so down. I can take triple water in one shot with my older 2018. I don't know how your product have been test, but something is wrong. I use water bottle since i'm 4 years old in my sports since 35 years (hockey, baseball, dragon boat, golf, road bike) and it's the first time I can't get enough water from the bottle. Have a nice day, Sorry for my english.

Like many others here, I've been a long-time customer for good reason - Camelbak bottles have always worked great. The new design is terrible. The top valve does not work for cycling when the bottle is in a cage. The new valve configuration is big and clumsy with loose parts that doesnt make cleaning any easier, in fact I find it easier to clean all of my older style valves.
