  • Nifty little water spout which provides ample flow while riding
  • The mouthpiece is the best part: it's easy to drink from, has good flow, and doesn't leak.
  • What I was looking for; good locking system, nice flow.
  • Great flow when drinking/squeezing, but no leaks otherwise.
  • They are a great size and the top provides the perfect flow

Reviews around style (5.00 of 5)

  • Pros:great style love the blackCons:on/off spout is really hard to turn even for an adult and near impossible for small childrenthe new spout is has a removable rubber piece on the inside and if it's not snug it will leakoverall
  • I’ve used 3 generations of Podium bottles and this one works just as well as it’s predecessors
  • Sleek style and easy to drink while cycling.
  • Truth be told, I liked the older style of spout better; more pliable.
  • Love the style and the color

Reviews around size (4.58 of 5)

  • The compact size made it better balanced when manipulating it out and in the cage when riding.
  • cool!It isn't easy to find smaller water bottles, and this is the perfect size for a quick workout at the gym.
  • This water bottle is a great size for my bike, doesn’t leak at all, and is easy to clean
  • Other than that, it's the right size for a smaller bike water bottle rack, and it's completely leak proof, easy to clean, and hods up well.
  • The size is good with my bike cage and perfect for other uses.

Reviews around bike (4.16 of 5)

  • The seals on these bottles are great, you can flip your bike upside down and they do not leak even in the open position
  • It's fine as a car bottle, but terrible as a bike bottle.2

Reviews around product (3.44 of 5)

  • Such a bad product when I’ve had other bottles like this last 10 years!
  • Product is not really good, not keeping the water cold although the weather is not hot
  • I don’t see how a defective product like this can be shipped out in this condition.
  • Shame because we love Camelbak products and own around 20 other sport bottles
  • Camelbak always makes good quality products in my opinion at affordable prices.

Reviews around design (3.33 of 5)

  • Not much more to say about it, it’s a good bottle for bikes and is well designed.
  • I’ve used 3 generations of Podium bottles and this one works just as well as it’s predecessors
  • I like how easy it is to clean the new lid design but it is more difficult to turn
  • We also purchased the same kind with a flip top and its just not as convenient as this design
  • Altogether, this is not actually well designed for biking

Reviews around water (3.24 of 5)

  • You really can't find a better water bottle for your Peloton than this one.
  • You just put your mouth on it and suck the water out and out
  • Overall, this is a pretty great water bottle functionally for what it is
  • My only complaint is that it sweats if the water inside is too cold.
  • Easy to drink from, and water stays relatively cold even though it’s not insulated.

Reviews around star (2.54 of 5)

  • Before riding I recommend unlocking for quick and easy access for drinking as it won't spill out no matter how rough surfaces are and after all it's way better than traditional water bottles with the twisting cap open because I have to admit I've almost fallen off like in those ads
  • I’ve used 3 generations of Podium bottles and this one works just as well as it’s predecessors
  • It was on sale, so I’m not going to complain a
  • Lost a star for the cleaning process

Reviews around cage (2.09 of 5)

  • leak proof, feel confident putting it in my computer bag now*Fits bottle cages better*Easier to clean*Flow is improved, easier to get a big drinkPro-Tip
  • Maybe Camelback has their own proprietary cages now, I don't know, but these will NOT stay put in the standard cycling bottle cage
  • So you'll have to hack your cage to keep your bottle from bouncing over every piece of gravel you ride over.
  • Before riding I recommend unlocking for quick and easy access for drinking as it won't spill out no matter how rough surfaces are and after all it's way better than traditional water bottles with the twisting cap open because I have to admit I've almost fallen off like in those ads
  • Fits the cage, like the twist open/close on the nozzle

Reviews around taste (1.69 of 5)

  • the same day I use them, to my surprise, halfway into my ride I notice a funny taste in the water
  • They're lightweight and don't impart any weird taste to your water
  • Before riding I recommend unlocking for quick and easy access for drinking as it won't spill out no matter how rough surfaces are and after all it's way better than traditional water bottles with the twisting cap open because I have to admit I've almost fallen off like in those ads
  • No plastic taste while drinking, easy to grip while riding and easy to drink from during a race.

Reviews around proof (1.67 of 5)

  • The feature I liked the most is that they were virtually leak proof
  • While the leak proof mechanism is great, mold will build up in the valve.
  • It's completely leak proof, and the water flow is generous.
  • Other than that, it's the right size for a smaller bike water bottle rack, and it's completely leak proof, easy to clean, and hods up well.
  • Very nice, leak proof design

Reviews around sound (1.54 of 5)

  • I’ve used 3 generations of Podium bottles and this one works just as well as it’s predecessors
  • Those sounds are hard to explain but almost impossible to stop or ignore
  • No leaks, but valve makes little "clicking" sound after a sip and is a bit difficult to disassemble for thorough cleaning.
  • No matter how loosely or tightly the lid of this bottle is screwed on or how full I fill the bottle, the lid makes constant, very annoying sounds afterward
  • However, my two complaints are that 1) this bottle is very noisy, every time you drink it makes a loud sound afterwards which is awkward and 2) the bottle became moldy pretty quickly so be careful of this and pay attention to the inside rim if you use this long term.

Reviews around noise (1.38 of 5)

  • My only complaint is that after taking a sip it will make a weird sucking noise for a while, but that's something you won't even notice while riding a bike
  • After you're done, the valve closes and makes an odd noise.
  • I’ve used 3 generations of Podium bottles and this one works just as well as it’s predecessors
  • This bottle and the older one both make strange noises if you drink from them quickly and then put the bottle down
  • makes an annoying clicking noise when equalizing pressure
