Best method I have found is to quarter fill them and put in the freezer overnight. I have put this to the test during trips to Adelaide during the heat at TDU time and has worked well.
Not thought the small bottle is the size of the biggest version in non insulated

I was looking to buy the 710ml Camelbaks bottles that Cell bikes have on special at the moment.

We were able to get a silicon ice block tray (Ikea) where the blocks were long and narrow about 10cm long. We pop a couple in an insulated bottle filled with cold liquid and the double effect works brilliantly.

The chill range of bottles are good, but just delays the inevitable on warm days... the freezer idea is a goo done if u have the space to stand them upright....

I am a big fan of CamelBak's Podium Chill water bottles and I find they work well. I wrote up a bit of a review which you can find here. I will be replacing them with the same or similar. No going back to ordinary bidons for me.

As a secondary good point to you Ross. I believe you're in the ACT and I bought mine in the middle of winter. I was sick of trying to drink almost freezing water, and there'd also be a chunk of ice in the top of regular bottles to go down when you needed a swig. None of that with these bottles. The water keeps some normal temp which is good for the chilly mornings.
Best all round hot/cold weather water bottle by far, and I'm about to buy another 2!

Podium Chill is a waste of money in my view. Yes, they can keep your water a bit cooler for longer, but it's really trivial how helpful they are.
Just take two bottles and fridge one and freeze the other.
The Podium Chill starts to fail as soon as you start drinking. Cold fluid is replaced by hot air as you drink - negating the benefit of them very quickly.

Not in my experience riding here in Perth with the temperature on the bike easily getting over 35 C most days over summer. Even on Monday at 6:00 PM it was still 35 C on the coast. So for me, based on my testing they work and I will be buying them again if I loose or damage one of the two I have.AlMac wrote:Yes, they can keep your water a bit cooler for longer, but it's really trivial how helpful they are.

I have both and I reckon it's a reasonable amount of difference.AlMac wrote:Regular Podiums are fantastic bottles. Highly recommended.

In my half hour commute the Chill will be "cold" at the end of the trip whereas the regular will be a lot closer to lukewarm!

non chilled are now my every day water bottle and I keep the "big" chilled for the rides They are fantastic and definitely keep water colder for longer, hours longer. One time after leaving it in the car on a warm day the water was still cool where as the normal bottle was warm if not hot
