CamelbakPodium Insulated Steel 22oz Bottle(Return to Product Page)

I have used Camelbak Podium bottles for years. I bought two of the stainless steel as soon as they became available. I've never timed them for how long they stay cold, but fill them with ice and they are good for multiple refills for a century ride in hot weather. I also fill them with warm drink during the winter to provide a boost when it's getting cold.

The only down side is if you want to share drink with someone. You cannot just squeeze the bottle.

I like my liquids ice cold even when riding in the winter. Regular plastic bottles do not keep ice for long in our hot summers. This bottle does! I have ridden all day and come home only to find my ice frozen solid inside. Now that is an insulated bottle.

I've used the plastic camelbak plastic podium insulated bottles and while they kept water cool for longer than the ones that aren't insulated at all, they weren't that much better. This works like a thermos and keeps water cold for hours. Even better there's no taste of plastic or the last flavored water use. Since it's made of steel it's of course heavier than plastic, but it's worht it.
