Polar Bottle Breakaway Insulated by HydraPak (20oz & 24oz) - BPA Free, Cycling & Sports Squeeze Water Bottle

Perfect size. Water stays cold. It does not drip at all, even if the spout is pulled out and you turn it upside down. You have to squeeze it for water to come out which is great.

This is a review of 5 products. I am doing one review for all five because they all work together so well and are all 5 star rated. FIRST is the “SKS-Germany Anywhere Attachment” which I added because I needed an extra water bottle for summer rides. It also was needed to mount the pump bracket since my lower frame tube is to big mount on the stock braze-ons. The pump bracket was rubbing the frame. This system works very well and is extremely secure. I have this on another fat bike for a couple of years and it has not moved. SECOND is the” Lezyne Sport Drive Hv Hand Pump”. It is very small and you need a lot of pumping to adjust a couple of pounds on a fat tire but it works well. I wanted a small, light pump. You do need to attach the hose to the valve first then attach the pump. THIRD is the “Marque Dual Bike Bottle Cage”. These are very light and hold the water bottle very securely. I don’t do big jumps, but have bounced through many rock gardens and the bottles are secure. Just make sure you push the bottle in so that the bottle groves are secure in the cage. FOURTH is the “Polar Breakaway Insulated Water Bottle”. I have been using these for years and love them. Just wanted to get a couple of more that matched the bike better. I fill these bottles full with ice and cold water. They hold ice for at least an hour on a 85 degree day and after 2 hours the water is still ice cold. FIFTH is the “Lezyne Micro Caddy Saddle Bag”. This is a medium. It looks and is really small. However, it holds everything I carry in a bigger seat bag which I have on my other bikes. I have a Topeak mini 9 tool kit, utility knife with all kinds of goodies, digital tire gauge, tire levers, patch kit and Flex Seal tape, and a small rag packed in. The Velcro strap secures the bag to the seat rails. This thing does not move. Only minor issue is that the Velcro gets stuck on the loops at the bottom of the bag and makes it tricky when reattaching. I did grease the zipper but is still kind tricky to open and close. Still, a perfect bag for a Dropper post.There you have it! 5 Reviews for the price of 1.

Perfect water bottle! Don’t leak, insulate, and beautiful!

Nice, light weight bottle with a bit insulating properties. Granted, it's not going to insulate as well as one of those aluminum insulated bottles, but it's much lighter. I tried it out on a 50 mile bike ride in 85 degree heat and at the end, the remaining water was still somewhat cool. Granted I added a lot of ice, which helps, but with my old non-insulated bottle, the ice would be gone, and the water would be hot after about 20 miles.

Keeps liquid cool for 24 hours

Have two, great bottle easy to grab and hold. Fit perfect in holder. Easy to clean!

I filled my old bottle up with ice and then added water, so that by the time I became thirsty the water would still be cold. I did the same with this bottle, and I couldn't squeeze it because the ice hadn't melted.As other water bottle commentators have noted, the red nozzle part on this bottle is perfect. It stays closed and them a light suck or squeeze dispenses the water. Or you have close it fully like to be sure nothing comes out in your athletic backpack.My only complaint is that you can remove the red nozzle for cleaning - it comes out easily, but I never clean it and feel bad about not cleaning it since they went through the trouble of making it easily removable but really, i don't think it gets dirty enough to warrant cleaning frequently. I would recommend users adopt a cleaning regimen that suits their lifestyle.

Pros: I really wanted a plastic bottle I could keep by my bedside that is not metal and could squeeze water out of at night when I am thirsty. This is that design. I shopped around a lot looking. The size is just right for what I want. When the cat knocks it over, it does not leak even if the spout is open (that's my experience, I do not know if it will hold true for everyone). I like the colors in the pattern. That's about all I like about this.Cons: It is WAY too hard to squeeze. I have some nerve problems in my hands but still type enough to work on a computer about 16 hours a day, but this is nearly impossible for me to squeeze. The red cap is a horrible design flaw with the pastel paper (I knew about this and did not deduct a star for it). The design, though, is merely a printed piece of paper that was somehow inserted into the design and looks really tacky (in my opinion). If I wanted to be imaginative, I could pretend that a preschooler created the design and bottle for me as a school project, hence the wrinkled paper in clear view and non-coordinating obnoxious red cap.I think there are opportunities to make this a better product. For the price, I'm happy enough although the worst part of this as a nightstand cup is the pain it causes my hand to squeeze it. I have to use 2 hands and it really shouldn't be that hard. I would never use this outside the house because it does not keep water cold any more than an ice pack you put on your head for a headache. There is no real insulation. Sometimes I put ice in it and it lasts 20 minutes max, which can be enough to fall asleep, but does no real good through the night.
