Reviews over the

Camelbak Podium Chill 21oz

Okay water bottle, but surely there must be something better. Insulation isn't exactly top notch (but you don't get rid of half the contents either), helps a bit, but mostly bothers me how smooth the plastic is, without ridges and such. Always have huge sweaty hands, so just used some rough sandpaper myself to make it less slippery.

Pros & Cons

The thermo effect is disappointing, after filling with good hot water, at an ambient temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, after about 40 minutes there is no difference at all from an ordinary water bottle. Light in the hand and drinking spout works very well. Large filling opening makes it easy to fill and clean.

Pros & Cons

While cycling, it is not obvious to get the cap on free, you always have to use 2 hands to turn the release from closed to open. Convenient for a hiker but not for the cyclist who is forced to release the hands from the handlebars or stop to drink which is certainly not the intention I think
