+1 on the Camelback podium bottles. Still mad at myself for leaving one at a Starbucks and riding off. Senior moment, I guess. For you guys with hard metal bottles, I'd hate to hit one if dropped on a group ride, riding in a tightly packed group. They don't seem very safe to me. Racing back in the 60s we used hard aluminum bottles, and I've seen a few dropped. This was BP, before plastic. 😏 I do find the Camelback bottle valves hard to dismantle and clean, but mine are pretty old. Maybe the new ones are better.
