Getting aerobars on my roadie Monday...what type of hydration bottle do i need?

Theyalso have the "Aerodrink" which is probably what you are seeing the most...

most LBS can order it for you or you can buy them online (probably a little cheaper that way)

Here's the link to the aforementioned product at Tri-sports.com...

Profile Design Aerodrink System

You also need the bracket, also sold there.  Performance members get 10% off there btw, but even though you're not one, they're reputable, helpful, and I've ordered a ton of stuff there with no problems.

so i'd need the parts kit for $7.95 to mount it...that the bracket you mean?

is it a simple installation?

ok, another question about the bottles

how do you keep them cool when you are out there biking for a couple hours or more?

They only stay cool in the winter.  Even the polar insulated bottles don't stay cool for much more than 45-60 minutes in the Texas summer.  Florida is probably just the same at Texas.

You can stave off the warming a little by freezing either some of your hydration fluids in the bottle, or freezing ice cubes of your hydration fluid of choice, and topping it up with liquid.

To answer the original question, I use a podium quest aero bottle.

Just an FYI, but depending on how you get your aerobars fitted to your road setup, you may have trouble fitting an aerobottle.  I have the profile gt jammers (which are short) on my road bike, but when I added the aerobottle I realized that the jammers were in too close to the handlebars and the bottle wouldn't fit properly.  The bracket became a must + zip ties to make it all work.  It's not the neatest setup, and I still need to use the rubber bands, but it's solid.  (I could have extended the bars out further but I paid to have them fited and I wasn't going to mess with that for a bottle).

 Oh - and keep the yellow doohickey + the foam cap.  Use them together and you'll have next to no spillage.  I tried switching them around a few times and learned (after a full coating of gatorade) that together they provide the best splash guard.

 As to Daremo's suggestion - perhaps the bottle is less aerodynamic, but it is much more convenient.

ok, just got back from my aerobar fitting and i'm extremely excited.   feels like a new bike!!

so back to the hydration systems.....

here is what i got on my bike now. http://www.profile-design.com/products/aerobars/airstryke/

solooking at this page, it is showing the aerodrink system as an accessory.  so can anyone confirm that the aerodrink will indeed work with my bars and will i need the brackets as well?

my fit pro didn't have any in stock and wasn't sure it would fit.  i'm assuming since Profile is showing this as an accessory that it will work.

read the right hand side...looks like you won't need the bracket with your areobars...

that link didn't work

i'm assuming it says something about not needing the brackets?

ok, see it now.

looks like all i need is the bottle then, thanks

I have the Jetstream NXT aero bottle on my bike and have no issues with it, $20 .  For training I fill with ice and water before I depart, that's fine for me.  I also carry a 20oz water bottle on the seat tube for backup.

I also like this concept, NeverReach Hydration System, it was posted on another thread recently.
