Polar Insulated Water Bottle

Product Description

Combining the thermal properties of an insulated vacuum bottle with the lightweight, flexible features of a plastic bottle, the Polar Bottle® is the ideal choice for active people. Simply fill with liquid and ice and hit the trail. For even longer cooling power, fill your Polar Bottle® and store it in the freezer before use. Either way, it will keep liquids cold twice as long as conventional water bottles.

Customer Reviews

Did not live to it's expectations...
I expected the bottle to keep liquids relatively cool but it's pretty much foil that's used for the polar insulation, a very cheap solution. I do like the volume of water it holds, the fact you can stick it in the dishwasher and the black loop to carry it around. However, it has no acrylic protective cap over the mouthpiece and I end up drinking with the cap off.

I've had one for years... Just got another.
I stumbled across these when they were only available in one color, the white, quite by chance and bought two. They keep drinks colder longer than a plain old bottle.

My husband started to use them to keep his beer cold -_-. The lager type beer didn't leave any aftertaste once washed out thoroughly. The Guinness however, once left out on the deck during the summer, not only retained an after-stink, but discolored the white plastic as well. I wasn't happy about losing one of my favorite bottles to Guinness-stink, but I let him keep that one as long as he left the other alone.

When I saw the Polar Bottles in colors years later, I couldn't resist. I can't put two 24 ounce bottles in my 17.5" Giant Rincon SE - I have to use a smaller bottle in the upright cage.

But I do go through them both in a couple hours during a summer ride here. I pop them in the freezer, but don't fill one but only half-way. That one I top off with water when I am about to leave so I'll actually have something to drink on the ride. If you just put water in them without freezing them, it does get hot and not quite so nice.

So if you're wondering: if I have to freeze it anyway, what good is it? Well, once frozen, it takes a lot longer to get unpleasantly warm than a regular bottle.

Just don't leave Guinness in them :P

EDIT: I froze both the new and the old Polar Bottles over night, allowing them to thaw to see if there was any difference between the two. Sitting on the counter together for an hour before I went out on a ride, the older Polar Bottle sweat considerably more than the new. I am not sure if this was due to a difference in manufacturing, or due to the age of the bottle, which has been frozen repeatedly over it's lifetime, but the insulation on the older bottle was clearly not working as well as the one I just bought here.

Not cold
I was looking for an insulated water bottle. This is somewhat insulated, but I put ice in it with some water, and it didn't stay cold more than a couple hours at the most. If I put in too much ice, then it is a little too slow melting. I like the looks and colors, but it didn't serve the purpose for which I purchased it.
