Insulated Water Bottles
Outside temperatures may rise and fall, but the temperatures of beverages inside good insulated water bottles will hold steady all the same. If you’re very hurried most mornings and need to take your coffee with you on your way out the door, one these bottles will be much more practical for your purposes than a coffee mug.
The same goes for joggers and bikers who like to bring soda or water with them during their routes. Their beverages will be much cooler and much more likely to reach their lips (as opposed to spill out onto the asphalt below) if they’re toting them in insulated water bottles.
You’ll find new insulated water bottles in all kinds of designs and colours. Most cost between $5 and $15. The Polar Thermal bottle is a good simple model that keeps up to 24 ounces of liquid safe and warm (or cool) behind a double wall with a thermal air barrier that keeps heat and cold from passing in or out. This double wall is said to keep contents cold or warm twice as long as the standard bottle.
The Polar Thermal bottle is slim enough to fit standard bicycle cages, while the mouth is wide enough for you to slip in a few ice cubes prior to your journey. The bottle’s current going rate is $5.50.
Dual wall construction is also a feature in the Coolhead bottle. Sold for $9.99, it, too, fits most bicycle cages. It’s got some additional features, besides: It is squeezable, just like your average water bottle, and it has a convenient pull-up sprout for easier cleaning.
The Picnic Time Insulated Riviera Water Duffel is a comparatively higher-end bottle and sells for $24.18. Its white plastic body, large enough for 1 liter of the beverage of your choosing, is housed in an attractive top layer of multicolor-striped nylon doby insulation. You can attach the bottle to your belt by the belt loops, or you can hold or hang it by the adjustable shoulder straps. These straps detach, too, if you’d prefer.
The CamelBak Podium ChillJacket Bottle is another high-quality bottle. Available for $20, it holds 21 up to ounces of liquid within a plastic bottle encased in a Podium ChillJacket. You can buy bottles with a pink ChillJacket or a black one. Whatever colour you go with, the ChillJacket’s surface is easy to grasp, which helps make this bottle an ideal accessory for joggers.
