Better but not greatJul 31, 2010 The bottle works better than a normal water bottle but still requires you to freeze about one third the volume to make it last a couple of hours in 85 degree weather.
Love these!Jul 27, 2010 Absolutely essential if you exercise or do anything else outdoors anywhere remotely warm. In Texas, where it's 90-95+ during most of the day for several months a year, they are a godsend. A basic plastic bottle will go from ice + water to lukewarm in 20 minutes. The Polar insulated keeps the same mix cool for at least three times that long. In every other way, it's just like a regular water bottle. Definitely worth the additional cost.
Best Water Bottle I've Ever PurchasedJul 15, 2010 Not that I'm on some epic search for the greatest water bottle, but I came across this on accident and gave it a shot. As far as aesthetics go - this is a good looking water bottle. It doesn't look or feel flimsy or cheap. It's insulated, and while it's no thermos, it will keep your cold water colder, longer. Simple as that.
THE insulated bottle to getJul 12, 2010 I had a few of an older version of these that gradually were lost (by my kids! grrr). Replaced with this current version. I love these. Use them on the bike and elsewhere. I'll fill one up with ice, or freeze it 3/4 full overnight and take to work with me daily. I can leave it in 100F parked car all day and it will still be cool at the end of the day.
Good, but not great for keeping things coldJul 12, 2010 Compared to an uninsulated water bottle the Polar Insulated Water bottle is better but its not a whole lot better. I've used them for runs where the temp is in the mid 80's and found the performance only marginally better than the uninsulated bottles I already own. I prepared my hydration solution the same way in the bottle that I have every other time and for every bottle I use. I filled the Polar bottle with ice and then the beverage. Sealed up the bottle and put them in my bottle carrier. What I found is that after 30 minutes the bottles had lost most of their ice. By 45 minutes the water had lost its icy edge and was merely cool, by 60 minutes the water was now just luke warm. This is only slightly better than my other bottles.
On the up side, the 24 ounce size is great and provides plenty of hydrating solution for a long run.
I suggest mixing and pre-chilling any beverage you put into the bottles following the fill with ice first, then add icy cold pre-chilled beverage, then seal it up. This should extend the cold time of the liquid.
