Best water bottle?

[Raimundo]

No Problem!!! (says the guy with more than a dozen Elite FLY black bottles on the shelf)

During summer i'll just brew some tea on the fly.

Camelback Podiums for me in the Texas heat; certainly make a huge difference already this Spring and we have only had a few days in the 90s(30*C +) so far.

Ditto - we have both old and new style Podium ICE bottles and they keep fluid cold for several hours, and the new style ICE bottles seem to keep things cooler a tad longer. The one drawback - and this may be due to me getting older and more feable - , but feeling is that the thinner profile of the new bottle couples with the new easy clean caps, does seem to make it a tad harder when squeezing the botle to get a good gulp of fluid.

Did they ever address the mold problem under the cap of those Camelbak bottles?

The new cap replacements seem to be a lot better. You can actually take it apart.

Another vote for Abloc bottles. I also found that insulated bottles only work for a limited amount of time, and ultimately, I don't really care if my fluids are ice cold.

Abloc's bottle taper always easily finds its way into my cages, they're super squeezable, don't leak, are short enough that they don't bang the bottom of my top tube every time I take them out, and don't have any obnoxious logos that end up looking like crap after a few washes and entries into/exits from my carbon cages.

Elite and Zefal both work well.
Ditched Camelbak after their (perhaps tenuous) link to the NRA became known.

Enjoying all the talk about keeping drinks cool, when here in the British winter we're filling the insulated bottle from the hot tap and trying not to have it get too cold to drink

Try Zéfal Sense Pro, you will not regret. I came from Camelbak Podium (which is great) and had never looked back.

+10000 the best so far for me after ( elite-tacx-Speci .....and more )

Tacx Shanti Twist. I've got one from Pas Normal Studios and is much more secure, tight and easy to use than camelback or specialized. I had Elite and SiS, but these Tacx are very good.

Thank you for the input guys

How much liquid do those insulated camelbak bottles hold (in millilitres)?
When I tried insulated bottles many years ago, they had very limited water storage (which is not what you want on the hottest days ).

Always been happy with purist bottles.

Me too, they don't leak, are easy to clean, and I haven't found a bottle cage yet where they cause issues.
