    Camelback Podium Chill - simply put they are brill. They are a clear bottle with the insulation (and graphics) inside and so dont show any visible marking, on top of the real benefit of keeping drinks chilled in summer for longer than it takes to drink them.

    Mine go in the fridge overnight in the summer to chill my drinks down before a ride (when i remember). Not cheap but for me - well worth the price. I have 4 of them

    Do these hold less actual fluid than a regular Camelbak bottle? That is, is the 610ml the volume for drink, or the volume including the area required for insulation making it more like a 500ml? I like my regular camelbak bottles for the great spout on them, but prefer larger bottles in summer for long rides. Even the larger Camelbak podium is only 710ml. They would be fine for sportives with regular feed stations though I guess.
