These bottles are well constructed, keep the water cold and are a great value. The valve is a one-way, but it also has a shut off. Fits great in a standard cage.
The description sounded great but I disliked this bottle when I struggled to get the water flowing. The water flow is very poor compared to standard bottles. The thermal cooling only lasts about 30 minutes in normal Southern California weather conditions. Not recommended.
These bottles keep cold drinks cold for up to two hours on 80F-100F days if filled with lots of ice. Cooling drops off after that point, but not as much as with other insulated bottles I've used. The nozzle is very secure, too. You can leave it up for quick squirts or sips without leaking drinks all over your bike. I plan to buy more of these before next summer.
I've had this for a month and I use it several days a week (for cycling and going to fitness classes). It is easy to clean and keeps water cold. A good investment.
Use biking and mostly take long rides- metric centuries. Keeps liquid relatively cold for the entire ride. Design of bottle is perfect for easy cleaning without numerous lid ridges that are difficult to get clean.
Used these in extremely hot conditions, seem to keep ice for several hours. Being able to remove the bite valve and be dishwasher safe is a plus! Definetely a go to bottle for road and gravel riding.
These Polar Breakaway bottles are essentially the same insulated bottles in Polar's regular line but these don't have a hook and instead come with the Surge Cap, so nothing in particular makes these a cycling bottle. For the price these are actually a good price especially for insulated bottles but it should be noted that the insulation is basically the stuff you find in reflective emergency blankets but with cool designs on them, so they do insulate better than a regular bottles but in truly hot weather they don't maintain cold well.
Bought these to match my bike
Love thats is insulated and that nipple is not like other bottles that get gross
Ill different buy again
I love this bottle because it will keep cold water even longer for longer rides, it will keep you refreshed, I might be getting the bigger one next time.
During those hot summer days rides these bottles keep your drinks cold for a couple of hours. I fill the bottles with ice and energy drink or water and they stay cool for several hrs.
