Polar BottleBreakaway Single Wall by HydraPak (20oz, 24oz, 30oz) - BPA-Free, Cycling & Sports Squeeze Bottle

These bottles are great. They hold a lot of water and they fit my cages securely. There are few bottles out there that are this large, so your options are limited if you want to take a lot of water with you on a ride. Can definitely recommend.

The media could not be loaded. These have an upgraded tip over the former model I owned, and it works well. The lid size is the same as my old water bottle (I found it!) so there's no need to keep track of which lid goes on which bottle. This upgraded tip has a silicone 'valve' inside the mouthpiece and squeezing the bottle sprays a nice stream of water. I don't tend to put my mouth on the water bottle as a result, as it's not needed. These don't have any off tastes and can go right in the dishwasher. So far, the tips on these are holding up better than a more expensive similar product that takes its name from camels.Pros:Dishwasher friendlyNo need to put the tip in your mouthThe tip can be cleared of debris with a gentle squeezeThe tip can be locked to prevent accidentally squeezing water out when removing from a waterbottle holder on a bike and it's fullCons:None so farNote:The old model seemed to develop a bit of a 'squished' look after a little bit of use, these are not showing signs of that. The plastic seems more flexible and returns to its shape after use.

Nice item.

Let me start by saying that I didn’t but this bottle for the wave design printed on it. That said, when I pulled the price sticker off, part of it came right off, right out of the bag. I washed it by hand before the first use, it even using a sponge. Well, the wave design continued to come off all over my hand. I said forget it and just scraped the rest off.Aside from that, great bottle. This is what really matters. Fits perfectly in the bottle holder on my bike. Lightweight. Valve on nozzle works well and allows water to come out when sucking on the end or squeezing the main bottle. Otherwise, no leaks to report yet. I plan on using it several more times and if all goes well, will be getting a second one for my triathlons.

I needed a new bottle for my bike but Had to get a smaller size and these fit great! They are small which is also nice for short runs or walks. The cap can be pushed in to keep water dripping out or kept open. When open you still need to either squeeze the bottle or suck out the water. The cap even when open has a valve or sorts to keep water from spilling out which is also nice. Cap is soft and not hard plastic and the bottle itself can be squeezed but doesn’t feel cheap.

These are what I needed for my every day in car bottles. The ease of opening, cup holder compatibility, and insulation are the perfect mix.

I've now purchased 4 of these water bottles. The two best attributes of these bottles are: 1) the tops can be taken apart to clean them; and 2) they are easy to hold with your teeth (to open or just hold for a moment) when cycling or when your hands are otherwise occupied. My biggest complaint about other water bottles is that if and when mold starts to form in the mouth piece, they're hard to impossible to clean because you can't 'break them down' to clean the parts. These are designed such that you can take apart the top to get to the nozzle pieces and see (if there's mold/dirt) and clean them. I don't like that I can see when mold has built up in other water bottles, or worse- I can see it but cannot clean it, so I end up discarding/recycling them.These Polar bottles are durable, don't stink, are easy to squeeze. I use them when riding and now keep them on my boat so that we have non-spilling, non-breakable, refillable, reusable (and clean!) water always at the ready. I wish they had more color options, so that I could have color coded water bottles for all of my crew members. For now, I write names on a piece of masking tape and stick them on each crew members bottle.

I wanted another insulated bottle for the summer and figured this one should be easier to clean than the Camelbak Podium Chill. It definitely is easier to clean as it doesn't require taking a small insert and ring off. Additionally it's easier to "lock" by pushing the cap in (or unlock by pulling it out with your teeth), the Camelbak requires twisting a lever which is difficult with one hand.There's two big downsides.First it doesn't really keep the drinks cold that well. Slightly better than my cheap 6 bottles for $22 but no where near as good as a Camelbak Podium Chill.Second it's pretty tough to squeeze. FYI in terms of cleaning my cheap bottles have the same valve integrated and thus are _easier_ to clean (don't have to take the valve out, only downside is no valve lock).
