The Podium Steel is the next evolution in Camelbak’s well known PODIUM water bottle line. This project was an opportunity to refine and solidify key aesthetic elements while pushing the performance and craftsmanship. After countless hours of research, user interviews, and in-field testing, it was clear that the current market solutions for insulation were marginal at best, and that riders are willing to sacrifice incremental added weight if it means a superior insulated bottle. Bike bottles get beat and exposed to all elements which can break down plastic walled bottles, the stainless steel bottle vessel eliminates micro plastic exposure over a lifetime of abuse. As summers get hotter, the Podium Steel offers all-day insulation keeping liquids cool for up to 18 hours.
