A toss up between a camelbak 21-ounce, insulated (too small ...some claim) or Polar 24 ounce, insulated (but sprout is not as good). Well, I end up buying both of them and switch the caps on them. Now you have a larger bottle, chills better, desirable sprout. Putting ice in it is ideal for longer chill factor. freezing it ...even better! I used it everyday! Until I losted both of them after long period of use. Now ...shopping for another set.
I really like mine August 5, 2010

I have two of these bottles and prefer them over the polar ice brand so much so that I gave away the polar ones to some new riders in our group who did not have water bottles. I really like the spout and the squeezeablitly of the bottles. I have found no problem with dirt collecting on the spout as some have but I use it on my road bike and it has never been an issue.
Better than non-insulated July 13, 2010

Okay, here was my super-scientific test method: I put about four ice cubes in the Podium Chill and filled the rest with water. I filled my regular Podium to the top with ice cubes and the rest with water. I drove 30 minutes across town to the trail in a non-air conditioned car. I was on the trail for about an hour to 90 minutes, using the standard Podium the whole time. By the time I finished, the remaining water was well on the way to warm/hot. The Podium Chill, while no longer containing any cubes, was still cool on its way to room temperature for the drive home.
I like the Chill for its taller size, I don't have to reach down as far on the bike to pick it up. I noticed no funny taste, even when using it immediately after purchase without rinsing. I chose the Chill over the Polar because I am addicted to Camelbak's spill-proof spout technology that means no fiddling to open the cap while riding (although this proved to be inconvenient when I sweat sunscreen into my eye and couldn't just dribble some water into it to clean it out). Maybe when I win the lottery I'll buy the Polar too and see if I can't interchange lids.
It serves its purpose best on shorter rides. The first time I used too many ice cubes that didn't melt, so I was left with no actual water to drink. However, if you're planning an all-day adventure and want ice cold water the whole time, this definitely isn't for you.
Waterbottle for all outdoor adventures July 7, 2010

If you want your water bottle to have a few extra features here and there that add some pleasure throughout your ride or exercise then this is the water bottle for you. This bottle never leaks, it has never cracked, and it does actually keep the liquid cooler for longer. It won't keep the water cold for hours on end, but for an extra few hours your water will be cooler. One of the major upsides of this bottle is that it has camelbak's no-leak nozzle and a lock to stop the flow.
Bottom line: Realistically, a water bottle is a water bottle, and if you want to pay a few extra dollars for a water bottle that never leaks and keeps your water a little colder a little longer, this water bottle is for you.
I plan to buy one or two more... July 2, 2010

For a long time I was using the plain, non-insulated water bottles from the bike shop. Recent hot weather has been making the water tepid in under an hour. I usually stuff as many ice cubes into the bottle and fill with cold tap water before riding. No freezing overnight, just fill and go. But warm water, half to a third through my ride was getting me down. So I decided to look into the insulated type.
But there were enough negative reviews to make me hesitate. So I looked around for a local bike shop that had Camelbak Podium bottles in stock, to see and feel one before buying. Found one. The shop owner said if I wasn't happy with it I could bring it back for a refund, that's how confident he was that I'd like it. The screw top lid does not leak, the dirt collection is minimal, and the flow valve/squeeze function is very nice.
After several weeks of use, I'm convinced too. It keeps the water cold for at least 2 to 3 hours. Any longer, and a "bicycle bottle" is not the appropriate container anyway. After 3 hours, and drinking most of the water, there were still a few little ice chips in the bottle. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the price. I am planning buy 1 or 2 more to have as spares, or take along for extra thirsty days.
