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

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.

1st I had concerns about some reviewers saying they leak, they were the wrong size, they had to unnaturally squeeze the bottles to get liquid out, and fit into bottle holders. I found none of those problems.They fit really well into my ebikes holders and I really can't see any foreseeable issues. I washed them and filled them high, put the cap on, then tipped them bottoms up. None a drop escaped. Then I opened the spout and inverted it again to see flow. Again nothing came out, so you need to squeeze the bottles to drink. That's fine for if it tips over when I'm out and stop, the water won't gush out and be wasted. The bottles have three layers, an outer, a bag inner liner, and and another plastic lining where your beverage goes.At this writing, I hadn't experimented with chilling the bottle before riding. But it seems well made, and my liquids will definitely stay cooler than an average non thermal bottle.The color match for my ride was very attractive.

Have been using this bottle for a while now and it's held up very well. Gets the job done and is a fair price. I use it while playing hockey and it's perfect. I try to do a good job cleaning it and have had no issues with it being dirty or smelly.

They keep water cold long enough for your ride. They slide into most cages nicely. Be careful what bottle holder-cage you buy. I used one that cut open the bottle. The material is thin so pick a cage that's nice and rounded. (Ps I can still use the bottle since only the outside layer was ripped). They work great, leave the cap open on your road ride and you can easily grab the bottle and squirt it.

Unlike my prior insulated water bottle that sweated profusely in humid and hot Florida weather, this bottle keep my water cold and didn’t sweat and drip all over me. Awesome product. Nice closure and easy to squeeze liquid out without making a mess

Mounted to the bike, keeping the water cold thru out the ride.Does'nt leak and survived a couple of drops.

I bought a pair of these. Great bottles with decent capacity. Tops don't leak at all!

I love the larger size of this bottle. With cap removed, the opening is large enough to easily add ice and the insulation does help keep my beverage cold. Note that Insulated bottles do have a slightly reduced beverage capacity of maybe 2 ounces or so when compared to similar bottles with same outside dimensions. The low profile of the cap permits more clearance between the top and the frame of my bicycle when carrying the bottle inside a standard water bottle cage. Only negative is the sides of bottle itself is a bit too firm and difficult to squeeze with one hand and this feature slows my ability to drink during my bicycle rides. Other manufacturers do not have this issue and are fast and easy to squeeze a filled bottle with one hand, but i do like the shorter top on this bottle. The nipple on the cap has a locking mechanism that pushes down to seal it and prevent spills but isn't easy to unseal with one hand, or by gripping with my teeth to pull it up so i usually leave it in the unlocked position after I fill the bottle.
