If you are like me, you know to try to never leave home without your water bottle.
My choice for the past 2 decades has been the Podium Bottles from Camelbak. When I first started using these bottles, you could semi-taste and smell the plastic compound that the bottle was made of.
Over the years Camelbak made it priority to make their bottles BPA-Free, as well as improving the flow rate and ease of cleaning the insides.

I had been looking to ditch the plastic and go with a metal bicycle bottle, but Camelbak did not offer one, until last year.

Once my local distributor @bti_usa got them in, I was quick to snatch one up for myself to try. After many months of using the black Podium Steel 22oz. Bottle, it’s difficult to return to the plastic ones I became accustomed to.

Coming in a healthy amount of colors, I only decided on stocking more of the neutral colors (Black and Silver…) for now, but there are others available upon request.

While I still use the plastic ones whenever I go on any randos or brevets, the Podium Steel Bottles are my go-to and will be for quite some time.

Excellent work on developing this bottle @camelbak …!🙌🏾👏🏾
