Water Bottle Wednesday #5 – Polar Insulated 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!
