I bought these tops to replace the old style tops I had on my Camelbak Podium Ice bottles, As expected, they fit perfectly and do not leak. I have not noticed any difference in the volume of liquid from the old top to the new. The best change is the ease to clean these new tops. The come apart so you can get to those places you couldn't get to easily to clean the old tops. Cheaper than buying the bottle and top when you only need the top.
CamelbaK is steadily improving its signature bottle. It has found a way for users to more easily disassemble the cap and clean the gunk out of the internals. The only downside for me is that the parts underneath the cap take up space inside the fluid contents of the bottle. So, there is no filling with liquids to the brim or near the brim as with the previous generations of the cap. Overall, nice job by Camelbak.
Several of my Camlebak Podium bottles were still in good condition; however the caps were not. This was a much cheaper solution than replacing the entire bottle and cap. The new design is improved and should last longer.
This cap has a removable rubber baffleplug that makes it much easier to clean than the old version, that tended to grow some slime in hard to clean places.
It throttles the amount of fluid that comes out. Give it a good squeeze and not much fluid arrives.
Replacement caps are always needed, price is a bit high, but still cheaper than a whole bottle.
Much easier to keep clean.
The design change for cleaning is a breeze now!
This fits my Podium bottle perfectly and is better than the original cap.
Better spout which is wider and allows for faster and more flow out of your Camelbak bottle. Also easier to clean.
