CAMELBAK PODIUM CHILL BOTTLE 700ML REFLECTIVE GHOST
The CamelBak Podium Chill 700ml in Reflective Ghost combines double-walled insulation with a specialised retroreflective liner, enhancing side-on visibility in low-light conditions while keeping your water cold twice as long.
The CamelBak Podium Chill 700ml (24oz) Reflective Ghost is the ultimate safety-conscious upgrade for cyclists who do not let the setting sun dictate their training. This specialised "Ghost" edition features an integrated reflective liner that catches and bounces back ambient light from streetlamps and car headlights, creating a crucial layer of passive side-on visibility. Ideal for dark winter commutes or early morning bunch rides, it seamlessly integrates essential safety directly into your bike's bottle cages.
Beyond its high-visibility properties, the bottle features a robust double-walled construction lined with closed-cell foam insulation. This technical barrier keeps your hydration refreshing and cold for up to two hours—twice as long as a standard single-skin bottle. The body 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
✅ Low-Light & Commuter Safety: Perfect if you frequently find yourself riding in traffic at dawn, dusk, or night, as the reflective shield acts as a bright visual beacon.
✅ 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.
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
The Reflective Ghost liner is highly effective, but to keep it looking and reflecting like new, we strongly recommend hand washing this bottle only. The intense heat and harsh chemical detergents used in household dishwashers can eventually cause the internal foam insulation and specialized reflective layers to delaminate 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 visibility for years to come!
