Bidons

[BRounsley]

I use the ”mud cap” on all of my Camelbak Podium bottles.

Great bottles and the cap is great at keeping the crap out of the spout. It just ridicules expensive for a piece of blue rubber you have to buy extra.

Camelback recently changed the design of the Podium bottles and I don’t think the cap fits the new bottles.

The “Rapha Bidon” is the old shape Camelbak podium bottles and the mud cap fits them. So you can get a Chartreuse Bidon……or “yellow mobile hand trough”!

£15 all in but they last for ages and don’t taste of plastic.

I forgot to say. The bottles have something that Camelbak call a “Jet Valve”.

It doesn’t have the hard centre pin that you typically pull-out with your teeth. You just squeeze the bottle and it works. It’s nice to drink out of but the downside is crap can get in the rubbery spout.

So this time of year when the roads are very gritty it’s worth getting the mud guard.
