Reviews over the

Camelbak Podium 21oz

Fijne bidon

Inside spout incredibly difficult to clean. no longer hygienic after 1 season.

Pros & Cons

The water bottle has a luxury drinking spout. And you won't know until you 'have' it and use it. Oh yes, this is what I was missing. Clean, quick, no aftertaste.

Pros & Cons

It took some getting used to the thicker drinking spout but squeezing to drink works very well.

Pros & Cons

Just a fine water bottle for swimming and cycling!

Pros & Cons

Great water bottle for the road bike, you can leave the bottle open, you do not have to open and close it while cycling. Cap is a bit more difficult to clean than a regular water bottle.

Pros & Cons

I also had a camelbak stage before this, but of that, the valve and "teething ring" were much more convenient to detach. It is now 5 instead of three parts. I did discover that you can push the cap out more easily if you put em on the closed position and then press. It is so complicated and awkward that it should have come with a manual, an impressive feat of overengineering. I also take it apart after each use and then dry it to avoid mould. But I'm afraid it won't last long like this.

Pros & Cons

While the Camelbak Podium is relatively expensive, it is also the most thoughtful water bottle I have ever bought. This water bottle has no cap that you have to pull out with your teeth, and therefore no cap that gets stuck over time. The water bottle is very flexible so you don't have to squeeze hard for a solid drinking stream. To prevent you from accidentally squeezing out the precious contents during transport, you can lock the cap. The large filling opening is not only suitable for large powder scoops (e.g. Isostar), but also makes cleaning the inside easy. The cap is easy to take apart and clean. You just need to know how (tip: Camelbak Podium Cleaning Tutorial on YouTube).

Pros & Cons

Gekocht om tijdens fietsen makkelijker een slok te kunnen nemen. Geen gedoe meer: tanden gebruiken om drinktuit te openen.

Pros & Cons

Have only just got these bottles but can already say that they are not leaky. I find the 610ml bottle the perfect size because they have a bit more capacity than the 500ml bottles but are not too big and still look nice on the road bike. Minus point I do think they are a bit harder to clean.

Pros & Cons

The Camel Podium 610 water bottle is a very pleasant drinking bottle for both short and long rides. I personally really like the closing and opening function by turning the cap so that the I don't always have to open the spout with my teeth. A firm squeeze of the bottle ensures enough drink in one gulp so that dosing is also a lot easier. Anti-leak is indeed anti-leak! Tested at home over the sink while cleaning. When shaking the bottle wildly on the 'open position' not a drop in the sink. Previous reviews write about too large a size to fit well in the Elite Custom Race holder. Possibly a modification was made to the bottle or holder as this one fits perfectly! Admittedly the first few times sliding in was slightly stiff but this was similar to my older water bottle. Cleaning the bottle is child's play. You unscrew the mouthpiece and wash the loose parts. Then ready for the next ride!!! The website gathers more practical information than the (very) limited manual. All in all, very satisfied.

Pros & Cons

It works well and super nice also because you don't have a cap measure you have to pull out this is much nicer

Pros & Cons

expensive to buy, but leak-free at last!
