Great water bottle August 31, 2010
M. Lau (Honolulu, HI)
This water bottle is great. It fits in a bicycle bottle holder so you can take it on a ride. I fill it up with ice halfway and water the rest of the way. Keeps cold for a long time and doesn't form condensation on the outside. My daughter started using it for school so I had to get another; then my mother in law wanted one for a trip so she could empty it before going through security and then fill it up inside the airport.
Wide mouth opening is great for filling with ice cubes and water. Cubes fit in easily.
It Really Works !! August 27, 2010
I Love Oregon (TALENT, OR)
I was a bit skeptical about this item.......but to my surprise it really works. My husband and I ride our bicycles everyday in the summer heat for about 2+ hours and my water stays cool the whole time.
Polar Insulated Water Bottle August 18, 2010

It is great for a decent bike ride. My suggestion is freeze about half the bottle with water and then fill the rest with water.
Functionaly good, appearance poor August 13, 2010

First let me say that the water bottle functions well. It keeps things cold and is easy to use one handed. I also like the fact that you can remove the valve and clean the thing thoroughly. The only drawback of this bottle is the asthetics. I was a little disappointed that the graphics on the bottle are simply a piece of plastic stuffed in between the two layers of insulating material. As a result the plastic is wrinkled and looks somewhat sloppy. With that said, I didn't buy it for looks, I bought it to stay hydrated and it does that well.
well designed, keeps liquids cold, but the subdued coloring is slightly underwhelming . . . August 12, 2010

The Polar Insulated Bottle has double sided walls designed to deter heat transfer and also accommodate the expansion of frozen liquids, so that even when filled with liquid and frozen, the bottle's shape remains essentially the same. The bottle does a very good job of keeping the contents from absorbing heat, for a reasonable period of time. The threaded cap also appears to be freezer ready, as the cap can be turned, and the valve opened, even when ice cold. Drinks seem to retain their natural taste, however the bottle will tend to absorb the smell of whatever liquid is stored inside.
The Polar bottle has sets of large grooves that are convenient for gripping. It inserts smoothly into most bottle cages, and is also easily removable while pedaling. It takes a little pressure, but the valve cap slides smoothly, and can be opened while in the holder, or even using your teeth. The bottom section is very soft and squeezable, very convenient for drinking. The upper section is a little stiffer.
In terms of having enough liquid to drink, you may have to experiment and see what ratio works best for where you live. Generally for flavored non-carbonated drinks, if you freeze 50 to 70% of what you intend to carry, and then add the remaining liquid just before you start your ride, most times you should have a steady supply of cool drinkable liquid. Adjust the ratio, if the insulation works too well, and you have ice instead of liquid. If you carry a second bottle, you may need to freeze the entire contents.
Well worth the money, the Polar bottle is very durable, and should withstand most major abuse short of being punctured. The threaded cover is also very sturdy, and with proper care and cleaning, should last for a long time. These bottles are a big improvement over the basic water bottles from the past, where the stem with the valve would typically get brittle and crack.
Color can be a simple way to differentiate bottles if you own more than one. It's a minor disappointment that the colored foil really doesn't show up very well behind the opaque white plastic outer wall. If these bottles were actually made of colored plastic to match, they would really be cool. Using the same housing makes them less expensive to produce, and hopefully this savings is reflected in the pricing.
