CAMELBAK PODIUM CHILL 700ML BLACK
The CamelBak Podium Chill 700ml brings a modern, stealth-black aesthetic to your bike cages without compromising on premium hydration performance. Featuring a completely blacked-out finish from the cap to the base, this classic design is engineered to look incredibly sharp and coordinate seamlessly with any carbon road frame, gravel machine, or mountain bike setup. It is the ultimate everyday training companion for cyclists who want to keep their hydration refreshing during long summer kilometres.
Under the skin, the bottle utilises a robust double-walled construction lined with closed-cell foam insulation. This technical layout keeps your water or sports drink chilled for up to two hours—twice as long as a standard single-wall bottle. The chassis is engineered from a proprietary blend of BPA-free TruTaste polypropylene infused with HydroGuard technology, ensuring you taste only pure water without any unpleasant, plasticky aftertaste.
Operation on the fly is completely effortless thanks to the legendary medical-grade silicone Jet Valve. This self-sealing mechanism maximises fluid flow while completely eliminating accidental splatters or frame-ruining sports drink leaks, even when left in the open position. When your ride is finished, the entire cap assembly disassembles easily, ensuring you can thoroughly clean out any road grime and keep your bottle performing perfectly season after season.

Why This IS For You
✅ Lightweight Insulated Hydration: Ideal for riders who want the cold-retaining benefits of an insulated bottle but prefer the easily squeezable feel of a lightweight plastic construction.
✅ Clean Taste Guarantee: Great for cyclists who are particular about their hydration, thanks to the plastic-free TruTaste material that keeps your water tasting crisp.
✅ Stealth Cockpit Matching: Perfect if you take pride in a minimalist bike setup and want a sharp-looking, stealthy colour scheme that matches any frame or kit choice.
Why This May NOT Be For You
❌ Not for Extreme All-Day Heat: While it doubles the cooling window of normal bottles, it cannot match the 14+ hour ice-retaining performance of heavy, vacuum-insulated steel bottles.
❌ Slippery Handle Profile: The sleek, insulated outer sleeve can feel slightly slick to grip when wet or coated in winter road spray if you are wearing smooth-palmed gloves.
❌ Requires Manual Cap Cleaning: The high-tech self-sealing cap features multiple small internal components that require regular teardowns to clean thoroughly and prevent mould build-up.
BFC PRO TIP
To keep your all-black bottle looking pristine and performing like new, hand wash it only. The intense heat and harsh chemical detergents used in household dishwashers can eventually cause the internal foam insulation to delaminate and the stealth exterior to lose its finish over time. A quick rinse with warm, soapy water and a bottle brush after your ride is all it takes to maintain its structure and matte appearance for years to come!
