Best water bottles

Hello All,

I am looking for some good water bottles that will be easy to clean and hold up well. I do not mind that the water bottles does not stay cold. I just want to ensure the lids stay on and they do not leak.

I'm a big fan of Camelbak Poiuim bottles

Specialized Purist. Jordan Rapp did a review of water bottles a year ago or more for Lava, gave these the highest marks. In general, Specialized makes great bottles with a good flex; the Purist cleans better than others, and has a great cap which is self sealing.

I like the specialized, the Camelback Podium bottle tops are too hard to clean and tend to grow things in the nook and crannies over time.

So my one issue with Camelback is that they do not stay in the behind the seat bottle cages.

This one. Hands down. Flavor is good and the value is "higher" flowing than most.

Glad you asked this question! Now, guys, do all the different Purist bottles fit in the bike cages the same? Maybe silly question, but I hate when they pop out!!!

I do like the Purist bottles too but can't open them with my teeth or my denture comes loose. And I can't open them one handed either like with the Podium.

So, as long as I don't need the lock, the Purist are great.

@ Carol - Specialized bottles are standard sized with indentations in the proper places to fit in water bottle cages.

@ Steve - I have the same inability to open water bottle tops (implants, not dentures). I simply leave the top "open" (up, pulled out) at all times. The fluid still does not leak out, however, as the top has a membrane system which keeps the fund from splashing out, but allows easy egress when bottle is squeezed or sucked on. Specialized has several different types of tops, don;t know the name of this particular style.

Colors of the bottle have to match my bike. This is the most important factor.
