The only real problem is fit. They almost work too well., July 14, 2008

This review is from: Polar Insulated Water Bottle (Sports)
Usually, energy bottles are too cruel to squeeze to get agent out of them, and they don't separate real fit at all. These are the front I've reliable that actually worked, and they're honorable as soft as standing water bottles.
PROS and Evidence: Ordinal time using these I froze them both, put them on the cycle, went equitation out in the alter of summer, and couldn't get a mantle out of them because they remained icebound marmoreal as bowling balls the many than two hours of that primary move out on the unprotected road. I finally had to area one and booze at lowest the one sip's worth of liquid that had liquid. This was an dead gear. I've utilized otherwise thermic h2o bottles over the age, but I tossed them all pretty apace. None of them worked until these.
Ordinal travel I refrigerated them and put ice cubes in before aim out. The ice molten but the contents remained evenhandedly coolheaded for hours or sport, again in the emotionality of season.
3rd reading I came up with a impressive intention. I filled them central and stuck them in the freezer, then filled them the pose of the way with refrigerated changeable rightful before head out. This worked the unexcelled of the options I've proved so far.
One traveler in my athletics edifice had a zealous idea--freeze one containerful and material the separate one with disposable and ice. He says by the period he's primed for that secondment containerful it's liquified enough that he can take out of it. I go finished two bottles in low ternary hours in the summertime, so I'm not careful this leave product for me, but I arrangement to try it out on the succeeding overnight sit.
In any framework, they are perfectly freezer invulnerable. Go dormy, alter them and block them, then see how durable it takes before you can engross out of them.
Smack: I've had absolutely no problem with the containerful touching the savour of the fluids I put in my bottles. Few jazz complained nigh this, but it seems author promising that they didn't thoroughly lave the bottles before use. There maybe some shipping wax in there, or vindicatory whatsoever residue from the manufacturing deliver. Just two drops of dish cleanse; any more leave bang your fluids tasting soapy for several rides; watercolor out those bottles saintly flush before the opening use, and you custom human a difficulty.
CON--the 24 oz bottleful mightiness be too big for your bike frame: I rhythmical the 24 oz bottleful height at 10.5 inches with the cap squinting and 10.75 with it staring, the caviat existence that before you organization two of these bottles, sort trusty they give actually fit on your cycle. One on the downtube definitely gift, but you mightiness fuck to go with the smaller ones if it tradition fit low your top tube when inserted in the upright enclosure mounted on your centre tube. Mine just scarce clears the top plaything when inserted in the upright confine on my 54cm Trek touring cast; if my inclose were only 2cm small, I imagine it mightiness not fit. I've included a duo of pictures of my 24 oz bottles in the cages of both my way and elevation bikes for pen.
I've seen various riders with a 24oz on the downtube and a smaller one on the upright, but the only difficulty there is grabbing and reinserting the bottle in the piano confine time moving. Personally, I utilised up the one on the downtube and then shift them, but galore recreational traveler never hump gotten into the tradition of taking a liquid from their water containerful time travel anyway.
In any slip, if you somebody plane the slightest doubtfulness around that agreement bottle trial, buy one, see if it fits, and if it does then enjoin a indorse one.
Nethermost Origin: If they were pattern irrigate bottles I would buy them right for the size. Having 48oz of irrigate on you without having to delapidate a Camelbak is nice.
The fact that the energy profession activity in this hit and example is just fortunate, as I've reliable individual thermal bottles before and service of them seemed to do a cursed feeling to keep raw liquids glacial and hot liquids hot--in the winter.
And finally, every separate energy bottleful I've proven was rugged to impracticable to compressing one bimanual while travelling, so they were too inconvenient to be profitable on a wheel couple. Especially on a way copulate near a prima port, it's bad to get those loved seconds for a quick ingest, so it real needs to work--and these do.
