Water Bottle Wednesday #5 – Polar Insulated Water Bottle
Comments(1) and polar bottle | water bottle 
The first water bottle I ever bought for cycling was a Polar bottle. It seemed like a great idea – a water bottle with insulation that would keep cold drinks cold on a hot summer day.
Did it work?
I don’t really remember. It was an alright bottle, and I think it did keep drinks cooler for a little longer.
But the insulation took up valuable space, and the $9 bottle was much more expensive than any others. It was also kind of slippery and tough to squeeze.
So, whenever the bottle eventually cracked, I resorted to regular water bottles that were much cheaper but held more water.
And I have been happy ever since!
The idea is great, but the bottle isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. (At least the bottle is BPA-free though.)
I will try one of the new versions next summer, though, so stay tuned for a full review!

I, and just about everyone I ride with uses the Polar bottle. In the Texas heat, the difference between warm, tepid liquid and cool or cold is awesome. I keep my Polar bottles in the freezer all the time, either with some frozen Citomax to act as ice in hot weather, or empty to prevent growth of yukky green stuff. You do sacrifice a little volume, but I just stick a third bottle in my jersey pocket and I’m good to go.
