Insulated Water Bottle Holder with Shoulder Strap Sling + 2 Freezable & Microwave Gel-Pack Sleeves for hot/Cold Use as Breastmilk Cooler Bag, Portable Bottle Warmer or Drink Carrier

This water bottle holder is an answer to a 2 year search. In 2017 I left my original water bottle carrier in the Leaky Cauldron at Universal Studios in Florida (too bad I couldn't just "Accio Water Bottle! to where I sat at the other side of the park!). I was really bummed because that holder was spectacular in that it had a nice strap, was insulated and held big bottles of water. Now this Organized Empire water bottle carrier doesn't allow me to hold as large of bottles or my Grand Canyon metal water bottle, but I really appreciate all of the thought that came into designing it. First off, it is made very well. I LOVE the fold over part of the carrier since that keeps the bottle safely tucked inside the carrier. I also love the two gel packs that come with the carrier. Now if you use the gel packs to keep your water cold, just realize that this will limit the size of bottle that you can use. I could use a gel pack with a smaller bottle of water and the 20 oz bottle as shown in my photo, but you can't if you use any larger size bottle of water. I also appreciate that it comes with a strap so you can sling it over your shoulder, although I will agree with another reviewer that I wish the strap was thicker. It feels a bit flimsy at about 1/2". The strap would feel much more comfortable at a 1" width I think. I also like the hand holder in the back and the phone holder at the front (even though I certainly won't be using either of those since I like the strap better). I purchased 3 of these for my mother, my roommate and myself for our recent trip to Washington DC and all 3 of us loved them. Sometimes we stashed them in our backpacks and sometimes we just had them slung over our shoulders. Some of us used the gel packs and some didn't. Overall we were extremely pleased with the way they worked. I absolutely 100% recommend this product. And if they come out with a larger one for larger bottles (hint! hint!), well, I would most certainly buy one of those!

I already have an insulated stainless steel Hydroflask water bottle that keeps its cool pretty well, but this holder seriously keeps it cool all day!! Its Genius! The ice-packs that wrap around your bottle seem really good quality and well made, and I like how everything fits and feels, they don’t take long to freeze either. Stitching seems good quality too and the neoprene is thicker than i thought it would be. The shoulder strap is really handy because I always have my hands full, and I use the mesh pocket for my car key when I’m out walking so that it isn’t rattling in my pocket.Shame it doesn’t fit my other big chunky Nalgene bottle, but I didn’t expect it to.I like how I don’t have to get it in and out all the time and I can just drink from the bottle while its inside the holder.Really impressed with this product and I will be buying a couple more to give to friends as gifts very shortly.

This is a great insulated bottle holder, however the freezable gel pack inserts became useless in just less than 2 months of use. Actually I alternated the use of the 2 gel pack inserts each night, so you could say I used each gel pack around 30 to 40 times before it leaked and had to be thrown away. I use them to keep my baby's formula cool primarily overnight in our bedroom, and occasionally in my baby bag when I run errands. Over this past week, both of the gel packs failed within a couple days of each other. In both cases, the gel packs failed at the bottom seam, which makes a gel mess and needs to be thrown away. So now I need to come up with another cool pack that will fit inside the holder and leave enough room for my baby's bottle.

I bought this because bottled water from the shops is expensive and wasteful. I use my own reusable water bottle but I am always out for long periods of time and my water never stays cool for long enough. I tried this out yesterday and my water bottle stayed cool all day! And it’s brilliant that they give you a second gel-pack because Yep! I forgot to put the first used one back in the freezer last night. So its great that I can just rotate them in and out from now on. Shoulder strap is handy but I won’t always need it, so I’m glad it can easily be unhooked and detached. I haven’t used it for hot drinks yet, but I’m sure it’s going to be great to keep my travel coffee flask hotter for longer on the long trips to work and I have already told my friends with babies of how great this would be as a bottle warmer for their baby bottles!! A little more expensive than others, but lots more features and inclusions and the quality seems really good, I think this is going to get used a lot in our household!

This looks like a really great idea. My experience is less than exciting. WIth the frozen wrap around gels it does keep it colder longer than out in the open.. but for surprizingly little time. Not really very practical for the bulk of the item. You wild think 2 or 3 hours later it would still be at least cool. . . Nope, melted and warm. Loved the idea but for me not very practical.

I really wish I could give them five stars but the ice packs have both busted in less than 3 months. I was using it to transport my baby’s milk to the sitter. I was extra gentle and careful when using the ice packs but they just didn’t last. I also would like to know how to contact the seller. Also the Velcro tore so easily

I have used this so many times already. I take A small bottle of Gatorade with me wherever I go,as I tend to run low on Potassium. I love this and I can keep the bottle right in the sleeve to take a drink. Stays cold for a few hours. NThe only thing I would say is that sometimes the Velcro on the el pack does not close. I think the gelpack could be just slightly longer.

Sorta like an old canteen style, drink from your bottle w/o taking any part of the carrier apart. We use insulated aluminum bottles, don't need the icepacks. W/o the icepack it's very lightweight. Love the colors, we bought one for each of us. Was worried the thin strap would be uncomfortable but it's okay, good length, very adjustable, and nice that the straps swivel in the clips to make untwisting the strap super easy, and the strap comes off easily. Well thought out product!
