The Podium goes metal - Camelbak Podium Titanium & Steel Insulated Cycling Water Bottles Review

As consumers have become more eco-conscious, companies have started to respond with metal water bottles. These avoid potentially harmful plastics and eliminate the plastic taste you can get with some bottles. CamelBak has taken the concept and created Titanium and Steel options for their popular Podium bike bottles. As the halo product, the $100 CamelBak Podium Titanium is constructed from vacuum-insulated titanium that offers up to 7 hours of insulation for 18 oz of cold fluids. Most buyers will likely purchase the CamelBak Steel bottles which are a more reasonable $35 for 18 oz capacity and $40 for 22 oz capacity. Both versions of the bottles have high-flow caps with integrated straws and a twist to lock feature. CamelBak has taken their iconic Podium bottles and created metal variations using vacuum-insulated steel as well as titanium. Both variations have the same familiar CamelBak Podium bottle shape with a beveled bottom, and tapered upper section. Unlike the standard plastic Podium bottles there is no squeezing here as the bottles are rigid. The metal bottles feature vacuum insulated constructions which make them perfect for riding in warmer weather as they can keep your fluids cool even on multi-hour rides. CamelBak currently offers the Steel bottles in both 18oz and 22oz variations with an impressive six different pastel color schemes. You can choose from standard black and gray colors or more unique options like Pacific blue or violet. In this review we have three of the most interesting colors, the violet, moss green and the pacific blue. All the steel bottles have color matched caps and a beautiful glossy finish that gives the bottles a high end appearance. The caps are still plastic but match the metal bodies quite well and have a slight texture on the outer portion to make them easier to handle. The steel bottles have an impressive 14 hour rating which should keep fluids cool even if you do a double century. ...
