You may be thinking that large-sized bottles are so un-PRO and un-cool, but there comes a time when practicality trumps looking like an authentic member of the Euro peloton. The Camelbak Podium Chill Bottle 21 Ounce Race Edition basically represents the next generation in insulated bottles. Since you probably do not have a support vehicle following you on your rides, do you want one of those blissful days, when you actually have a chance to get out on real country roads for long periods, to be ruined because you have no chance to refill tiny bottles? Of course not! Nor is it fun when 30 minutes into a sunny hot ride, your water starts tasting like melted plastic, or worse. The Camelbak Podium Chill Bottle is the supreme answer. Soft, lightweight and easy to use, even small hands need never fear that they will be unable to squeeze the bottle effectively. It is designed to deliver high water flow effortlessly.

The double-walled construction of the Camelbak Podium Chill Bottle provides essential thermal insulation and is made from taste-free, BPA-free (Bisphenol A-free), TruTaste polypropylene. This is a plastic bottle that will taste more like you are drinking from a chilled glass in your shady backyard. It comes equipped with Camelbak's proprietary antimicrobial technology, HydroGuard, which is intended to inhibit the growth of bacteria that can cause odors, discoloration, or deterioration of the bottle surface. However, be aware that this does not protect against other nastiness from growing in your unwashed bottle, so be certain to clean it thoroughly after each use. Having lavished an equal amount of attention on the bottle cap, Camelbak has included their Podium Bottle cap which uses the JetValve which flows out easily as soon as you squeeze for a drink, but seals shut automatically so you don't have to worry about drips or the yuck from the road invading your cool drink. And for added security, it comes with a leak-proof sealing lock-out on the cap so that there will be no undesired leaking in your training bag heading to your race, and you can shake it like a Polaroid picture when you want to mix up any powdered energy drink in your water. The Camelbak Podium Chill Bottle 21 Ounce Race Edition will fit your long, hot riding requirements perfectly.

• Leak-proof Jet Valve delivers rapid, splatter-free flow and self-seals to prevent spills
