so glad I found these!!!!October 31, 2008 Perfect solution to lukewarm drinks. I carry water bottles with me everywhere I go and I love these bottles. I freeze it half full at night and fill it the rest of the way up before I leave the house in the am. The water is ice cold 4-5 hours this way. Another great thing is that there is very little sweating. Don't freeze the bottle full or you won't have any thawed water to drink for a long time. I wish I had found these back when I packed school lunches. They would be perfect for keeping kids drinks cold all day.
Keeps water icy cold but leaksOctober 27, 2008 Love this bottle as it can be be put into the freezer and doesn't warp and gets misshapen like the metal bottles. And the water is icy cold for hours. But be careful about putting it into your tote bag. The cap loosens and the water drips out of the bottle. This has happened twice. I had no idea the second time that the water was dripping onto the floor of the bank I was at. I saw the bottle leaking in my tote bag and my checkbook was soaked. I was embarrassed. It's a good thing my suede bag is cleanable.
Just beware that may be a problem for you because it's just a plastic cap without a rubber seal, so it is not watertight.
Good bottle!October 21, 2008 Inexpensive, lightweight, insulated, and it doesn't leak. Just about everything you could ask for in a basic bicycle water bottle.
smooth transactionOctober 20, 2008 water bottle was shipped fast and was exactly what i expected. happy with the purchase.
Insulated Water Bottle that WorksOctober 17, 2008 This is the second water bottle I've used to accompany me on golf outings where I'm walking. I had intended to only purchase one bottle but as it happened the ice in my first try at a water bottle would have melted and the water would be warm by the second hole. This bottle is much better, though not perfect, and keeps the water cold for nine holes on a hot day. This is all the insulation I need because there are usually several chances to swap out the water, though not ice, during each round. It is also mandatory that the bottle doesn't "sweat". As far as I'm concerned, the longer the cold lasts, the more stars -- it ain't perfect but for the dough its great!
