Great price for a great water bottle.
I have two and highly recommend them especially with summer approaching :)
Plenty of stock in all cities too!
That's a pity. They are worth every cent though. Cold water on a hot day is a lifesaver :)
Making a good investment then :)
If they arrive in the same package, I'll be leaving negative feedback.
Yeah that's fair enough. All camelbak bottles are a good investment imo. Well made and long lasting :)
Cold water on a hot day can be bad for your internals.
just added 2 to cart and it only shows $7.95 total postage..
Were they the same type?
I got two different ones.
yeah same type, but i'll draw dicks on one of them so i know which is which.
Love these bottles, thanks OP
Haha me too, they are such a good size. Thinking I might get a few more, would make great Xmas presents for cycling mates!
Camel's got your bak
With 2 humps as standard of course!
Heaps near CBD Sydney.
Gonna give it a try.
Yep definitely worth a try! The hard part is choosing a colour :)
forgive me for being a noob, but whats so good about it? its just a water bottle isnt it? or does it manage to keep things colder for extended duration's?

So to simply answer your question. Yes its a water bottle. Prob a good one based on the features.
Yep it keeps water cooler for longer periods. It comes in handy in Summer especially. It's a well made, durable water bottle which retails for $25 each. I have been using them for over a year and highly recommend them hence why I posted this deal :)
Grammar alert:
“Hence I bought the goat” or “that’s why I bought the goat.”
Not "hence why"
Cheers I thought it didn't make sense :)
Nismo from AvA ?
got one for my ride to work, hope its better than the $4 kmart one I have now
I'm sure it will be. Nothing beats some cold water after a warm commute in summer :)
I think I have the same one, it came with a field pump and a bike lock. It makes the water taste like plastic pretty bad.
camelbak ice is better, better insulation and will keep it cooler for a bit longer, but to be honest, if it's really hot no amount of insulation will keep the water cold for a decent period of time.
they discontinued the ice for a while, but i found it on ribblecycles recently and ordered a few. it's a bit better than these.
the chill versions stay cold for 30-60mins
tbh you're better off half freezing, or just freezing a 2nd bottle for hot rides
and this price isn't that great, i've had it for about the same price for the full size 750ml bottles elsewhere.
yeah but the Camelbak Ice is $26 + postage at Ribble.
Camelbak podium chill goes well with Netflix and keeps the bottles chilled for longer than 60 minutes. Checked mine after a 2 hour ride and they were still cold today. Depends on your conditions too I guess.
i paid about $20. mind you they've recently had a 10% price bump on everything, and they usually have 10% off sales, so cancels that out.
That's true, gotta wait for those sales. With the way the Aussie dollar is heading, price bumps will be a common occurrence :(
Full size 750ml is the non insulated version of the same bottle, right? Those were cheaper than the insulated if I remember correctly at rebel.
On the camelbak web site. The 750ml is also double wall insulation. I think they are the same but just larger. Cheers.
Thanks op, bought 10
Nice, always good to have a few for future use and presents :)
Dick's selling water bottle as well now? Good thing they ditched the "Electronics" moniker awhile ago.
They are also selling small appliances now too. Diversifying their product base.
Good to have more competition in these markets as it will drive the prices lower :)
Keep in mind that it's the same as a full size bottle but only holds 600ml due to the insulation. personally, I would just use a normal bottle and fill with ice or part freeze the bottle first.
whoah I didn't know that. That's a bit misleading
Not it's not. I'm sure the description states its volume accurately.
Hi, is this bargain useful at all for non cyclists?
Do you use a water bottle? If yes, then yes.
Yes I do use a water bottle. I'm just trying to understand what is so good about this particular one?!
I usually just use 1 or 2 x 500ml bottled water when I go walking or running.
I would get it but I prefer water bottles with a cap over the mouth piece so it doesn't get dirty if I keep it in my bag…
I dislike dirtbags too
especially teenage ones.
that listen to iron maiden.
baby.
these are great bottles.
insulation works quite well.
bottles are made of good plastic.
coated with special stuff to keep bacteria free.
nozzles have a lock so they dont drip everywhere, and they shoot out a good stream of water without having to suck your eyeballs into your head.
great deal.
Yep you have listed all the reasons I buy Camelbaks for!
Great innovative long lasting product which works well :)
Also BPA free, which is a chemical commonly used in plastics, which is structurally similar to estrogen and can mess things up when accumulated.
I bought one of these last time they were on sale, and I have probably drunk about 100 litres through it. It is ok for the price, however it has a tendency sometimes to makes random noises if there is some air trapped.
I have this insulated thermos one which is heaps better, it keeps the water much, much cooler than the Camelbak. After taking it around the world, it is a bit grotty which is why I got the Camelbak, however with the Amazon Amex 15% off deal, I might get another one: http://www.amazon.com/Thermos-Vacuum-Insulated-Stainless-Hyd…
hahaha yeah!!! a couple of times i have listened closely to figure out what is wrong with my car or computer and then to realise its coming from the bottle
That ticking noise is why I don't by Camelbacks any more. I like my Contigo.
The Thermos you linked to is on sale and it's the cheapest it's been in the last year. With postage it comes to $29.51 AU though.
Yep works like a treat, great review too :)
Selling fast guys, get in quick before they are all gone :)
Can I buy in store?! Will it be of same price or RRP?
No you have to click and collect at your local Dick Smith via eBay using the CDICKSMITH30 coupon. Hope this helps :)
Thanks OP, bought 3. 2 Crimson and 1 Race on. But the coupon code got applied to crimson bottles only. Got charged $18.36 for Race on Bottle. Can anything be done now?
I don't understand why it didn't apply to all three. Did you add them all to your basket and pay for them at the same time after applying the code?
I suggest contacting Ebay/PayPal and see if they can refund you the discount.
@ShamelessBargains:
Yeah added everything then applied the code. Sent a mail to dicksmith. Will send mails to ebay and paypal also. lets see if they will do something
Showed me the discount but have been charged original amount on PayPal !!
Anyone with this issue?
Its ok, paypal didn't charge you the original amount, you only paid the discounted price……How many times do people have to be told….:(
Oh yeah got it. It's been a long time since I bought discounted stuff on eBay.
Thanks for the reminder
Enjoy your new bottle/s :)
About 1 litre, stainless steel, and no worries about plastic taste, BPA, plastisizers etc.

Any thoughts?
"This item does not ship to Canberra, Australia. Please check other sellers who may ship internationally."
Also, it's in USD.
The last thing I need is yet another water bottle for the gym……but bought one anyway.
You won't regret it though. I'm hooked on Camelpak bottles and you will be soon too haha :)
I have 2 camelback water bottles and neither fit in the console cup holders is my ute. (I have the 600ml and the 1 ltr)
Anyone know of a good narrow body one?
I dont think I need one but here for the people who want one, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Mwu059xD2k
someone already posted this video mate :)
bugga :P
I will just use my work fridge
You carry that around when you commute to and from work? Nice!
I walk 10 mins to work.
Have seen Camelbaks in local DS store and thought WTF crazy idea to sell these in an 'Electronics' store along with a 2nd WTF at the high price of such mere water bottles. C'mon, really?!
But ….. with 30% off I figured what the heck and have grabbed a couple to try. :)
Gotta love OzBargain.
Haha that's the power of Ozbargain right there. Luckily these are great quality bottles which you will definitely use and get your money's worth :)
Errr…I hate to point out the obvious, but these are plastic bottles. There's a huge margin.
Another obvious point is that your argument relates to most things.
I've been through 3-4 water bottles and camelbak is the best one so far.
The nozzle tends to get dirty if you dont clean it regularly though.
Yeah I agree, gotta look after the nozzle as it builds up dirt if you don't clean it regularly.
If I get bankrupt one day, ozBargain is to blame :P Did saved 100's but ~$2k poorer over last week. Finally it's time to relax and drink some cold water using my Crimson Camelbak :D
What did you buy for 2k?
156 Camelbaks?
Good investment :)
Haha, not quite. I got a Lenovo laptop, Withings Activite POP smartwatch, 10gm Gold bar, Eneloop family pack, Samsung wireless charger and a Camelbak so far. I've decided not to use ozBargain for few weeks now. Oh no, why am I still using it. Bbye :P
I'm getting thirsty just looking at it!
There used to be a much better Camelbak insulation but the company that made them closed down :( Shame as they stayed cooler by at least 2-3x
That's interesting, they must use a thinner insulation now. Do you know if you can still buy the older models?
I don't think its just the thin/thickness of the insulation but the combination of the right materials
And nope, could check ebay though. At the time I bought my Camelbak (about 2 years ago) the decent ones were going for around $30 excl p&h imported from the US
Oh that's a pity. It's annoying when they bring out a new product and it's inferior to the previous one. That's not meant to happen… Hopefully the next generation will be an improvement!
@ShamelessBargains:
Podium Ice it was called, I just checked ebay - $40 incl p&h local. Pretty expensive but there are days in summer where you wish your drink stayed cold for a little bit longer
Its 4x longer than standard bottle vs 2x for the podium chill
Thanks, no store near me stocks these and I've wanted one for awhile. Got two but only really got free postage as they charge shipping on both :(
