As per the titles. I get plenty of use from mine and wonder whether they have a life span? I'm currently using Camelback podiums.
When they are too manky to use any more.
Podium bottles are dishwasher safe. Replace when they're worn out.
Bidons? Shut the **** up! They're bottles. 🙂
Bottles!
I find they tend to go a bit brittle by 15-20 years. Depends how they live of course - sunlight and high temps are probably bad for them. Actually had to buy a couple recently as we don't seem to get freebies any more.

Podiums are very hard to clean properly so I keep the lids in the freezer to kill the germs.

Facile.
