Very disappointed! Love Camelbak drink bottles and have previously owned many podium and podium chill bottles. These new ones are AWFUL! Bought 3 of them and they are all the same, twisting mechanism on the mouthpiece that is supposed to lock the opening will. not. budge. It's impossible to turn and the water comes out in a sort of aerated splatter rather than just a normal stream. Mouthpiece is hard and unpleasant to use. Gets two stars because at least the water still comes out of it. So frustrating.

I have always found Camelbak gear robust and easy to use. This is no exception.
You can turn the lid so it's completely spill- and squeeze-proof (good for a backpack). Or you can leave it so it won't spill, but requires a normal squeeze. I think it's easier to drink from than other brands I have. Fits into my bike cage perfectly (unlike some others). Great not to have to "open" and "close" it before and after drinking on the bike. Worth the money.
