Water bottle recommendations.

Can anyone recommend a water bottle that does not leak, is easy to squeeze/drink from and holds 600-700ml of liquid.
I have done some research, and camelback podium seems to be good - but water bottles aren't exactly something you can try out in the shop, and I would appreciate some advice. I don't mind paying a bit more if the item really works. Currently I use the ones that come free with whatever energy gel you buy.
Thanks.

+1 for Camelbak Podium. Use them all the time, even off the bike. Wouldn't buy a different bottle now.0

In summer I like 2X550mls easy to carry & no big deal to stop and fill up if I'm out for 2+ hours.
In the winter when its a lot colder & I don't plan on stopping I prefer to carry the bigger 2X750mls as I'm on the winter bike and going slower I don't mind the extra weight and certainly prefer carrying them and just carrying on rather than stopping and refilling the smaller bottles and dealing with fingers & toes getting colder.Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.0 -

I've got both - (well , the Campag record version of the Jossanova one).
Both are good - the standard elite bottles are top quality.
The benefit of the Jossanova are that you really can keep the top open and in the cage without it spilling - if you find closing standard bottles a faff. The down side is if you take it out of the cage with the top still twist-locked, it's even more awkward to open. Cleaning can be a faff too.0 -

+2. I can now store mine in my helmet hanging from the hook in the top of my locker with no worries of leakage.I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.0 -

I like the 550 one, fits the elite cage perfectly ( :shock: )0 -
I ave yet to find a bottle that leaks or I cannot drink out of. Cinelli bottles are decent but they are all decent mostly.http://www.thecycleclinic.co.uk -wheel building and other stuff.0

Thanks for the replies. Looks like I'm off to pick up a few the cameback podium bottles.0

Camelback Podiums for me too. Rapha use them for their branded bottles as they couldn't find a better bottle on the market.http://www.georgesfoundation.org

I prefer Camelbak Performance as you don't tip them up. Its a small thing but works for me.

The podium is very good, but fits very tightly in one of my elite bottle cages.0

Plenty of us have Wiggle rooms, it's where we keep all the bike stuff we buy

I had a Podium too, pretty good, but I left it at the top of the Cormet de Roselend climb in the Alps - it's probably still there if anyone wants it!
Since then I've been using the free High 5 bottles, and they work perfectly well.....0
