I like the Camelbak Podium Chill 21oz bottle for several reasons. It keeps my fluids colder for longer than standard bottles. In my part of the USA during most of the year I need fluids to remain cold for as long as reasonably possible. I also like the 21 oz size because it fits the triangle of my bicycle much better. Anything larger and it is next to impossible to retrieve. The jet valve works flawlessly.
I own and use multiples of these bottles. I really like them. I prefer the 24oz sizes, but have smaller bicycle frames requiring the use of a smaller bottle in some setups. These tips hold water well, yet make purposeful access easy by squeezing the bottle. Insulation is minimal, but seems fairly effective. I ride in moderate Midwest temperatures and like how these bottles maintain water temperature.
I really like it because keep the temperature with no too much bulky or weight, nice and easy to keep clean, they last forever this is my 3 pair because i give to my kids.
I highly recommend
Riding in early morning before sunrise and with hot/humid conditions led me to try these bottles.
I have Camelbak insulated bottles but the reflection feature helps me to have that extra visibility. 24oz are too big for these rides so the 21oz bottles were purchased. No complaints and the fluids stay cooler

I ride in the hot summer mornings in the Sacramento Valley. I usually put my bottles in the refrigerator the night before I ride, and after an hour or so the water is borderline luke warm. If I put ice cubes in the bottle the water will still be cool 2 and 1/2 hours into a ride. I haven't found anything better for the price so I'll keep using them.
I use this as my 3rd water bottle in my bottom water bottle cage, while on tour. It is a bit shorter than my other Camelback podium chill bottles, so it doesn't hit the front wheel, but still keeps some ice water cold until I need it.
The always open never spill spout on these bottles work well. Larger bottle size works well for me and a quality feel to the product.
These bottles do keep the contents cooler than the alternative. I am only using these now, for road and gravel cycling. Would not go back to regular bottles!
This bottle definitely keeps things cold, i put it in the freezer with only a certain amount then top it of to where I want it before i leave. Takes 2 hands to open it though so if you want a drink while under way it could be a problem
Great product
Dont buy a camelback if it doesnt say insulated.
easy to pour yet does not spill all over.
Have been using this cycling in the summer heat and it works great. Perfect size and water flows out nipple perfect!
Seriously. Don't put in dishwasher.
The nozzle is redesigned and takes up more room, so you are limited with the amount of ice cubes you can place in the bottle. Also, this does not seem to keep the liquid cold as the previous models did.
Well made and light weight. I am happy with it.
I use my regular water bottle out to my half way point on a ride. I use the Podium Chill for my return leg. On a 85 degree day it's not hot yet but a long way from being chilled.
road biking......keeps drinks cold
