I’m in the market for new bottles and curious what people recommend. Generally I prefer insulated bottles, and in the past I’ve used the polar sport bottles and more recently the older version of the podium chill. The polar bottle was hard to keep clean due to the dimples on the inside of the bott…

For standard riding I love the purist as well. The Elite Fly Bottle has always been my go-to race bottle… Lightweight and works great. … Granted, almost all of my bottles have been retrieved by standing out when any pro bike race comes into town and picking up the tossed bottles.

I see this thread has been brought back up, probably by a salesman, but I like to use a bottle that I don’t have to bite/pull, it just makes things smoother and they seem to last longer. Mine are branded Rapha but I think Camelbak do them too and there’s maybe others similar. Only annoying thing is…

anyone have any recommendations to replace the Elite FlyWeight 550ml bottles? They seem to drip every where and carb drink is hard to get off the frames…
