Long rides in the blazing sun are no match for the insulating power of CamelBak's Podium Big Chill Bottle. It boasts a double-wall polypropylene construction with an airtight layer of insulating foam to keep your drinks nice and cool. And to prevent tastes, odors and bacteria, it's lined with CamelBak's HydroGuard. This huge bottle also sports CamelBak's easy-sipping, self-sealing Jet Valve mouthpiece that even has a shut-off switch for leakproof carrying. The Podium is dishwasher safe, fits in any bottle cage, and you don't have to use the ol' hip-tap to close it.
The 25oz size barely fits in my frame, but it allows me to take on board 50 ounces of cold fluid without having to carry a bottle in my jersey for races. The valve is a great design, ideal for drinking and for taking a cold shot of water down the back before the bell lap. I purchased two... and then two more because I found them to be worth the price.

Comments:
The CamelBak Bite on the water bottle was the best thing ever, no more wrenching at the mouth of the bottle with your teeth! Just open the spout before your ride, and either squeeze water into your mouth or bite and let it flow! The bigger size was a good idea by CamelBak, everyone knows you can never have too much fluid on a ride.
Keeps liquid pretty cool, I'd say about 2 hours in 90+ degree weather with the addition of ice.
