Does this keep water colder and longer than the Camelback Big Chill bottle?

Unfamilar with the camel back but it is well isolated and keeps my water cold for the couple of hours I need it for. Hope this helps

Sorry... I haven't used the other bottles. But, I have a couple different sizes of the Polar and they work well, especially if you fill with ice and/or partially freeze ahead of time.

Sorry, I've never used the Camelback Big Chill bottle, but in my opinion the Polar Bottle does not keep liquids cold for very long.

I've never used this for hot beverages but it does keep things cold for at least 16 hours.

this will absolutely not fit over the insulation of a camelbak tube (as is). i have the black climate control tube and it barely fits over the tube without insulation so you will definitely need some sort of modification. instead of filing away the inside of the clip for the tube (and possibly compromising the structural integrity of the clip) i just put it at the end of the tube before the bite valve and slid the insulation over it. the magnet is still fairly strong and i haven't had any issues with it.

I have not compared against the AO - I have no need to. Our Polar Bear has kept the contents cool throughout the day whilst sitting in open back of a 4x4 pickup, in direct sun, whilst crossing the Wahiba desert - which exceeds 120 degree's comfortably. By late afternoon the contents were cool rather than chilled, but it did the job, and we had a cool beer in hand.

If you have a cold pack underneath, it stays pretty cold. I don't think it keeps it cold on it's own.

I Took it on several 2-4 hour road trips with ice water and the ice is always still there. It does a pretty good job of keeping things cold as long as it is not in direct sunlight. I actually dont think its meant for warm/hot drinks but I could be mistaken.

No. The water circulates much like a fountain, so it is fresher and cleaner than stagnant water, but it is not cooled.

Yes, they are wider than the original contigo 24 oz non-insulated bottle. These also work great, I live in Phoenix and it has been 105 - 110 degrees regularly and I'll leave my water bottle in the car for hours at a time and come back and the water is still cold.

This bottle isn't insulated. It's a thicker plastic - the water will stay cold if you put ice in it - it will stay cold about the same amount of time it does in a plastic glass.

I own several of these and I can feel warmth with my coffee (not hot just that it is warm) and just filled my 32oz. with ice water and it is cool on the outside, that doesn't change the fact that it holds the temps whether it is hot or cold. I haven't heard of the bottles being defective.

It does! I have to let it cool a bit before I can drink it. I think it was a good buy for the money.

It's not that great. Purchase the non insulated one. The only difference is that the extra layer helps with condensation and as a protective layer. The insulaton doesnt help thatuch at all. It's better to place your bottle in the shade.

It sure does! Since isn't insulated, I don't know how long the ice will remain ice, but there is plenty of room. The mouth of the bottle is plenty wide. Hope this helps!

No, not insulated and after purchasing these as prizes for a wellness contest I regretted not order a Camelback bottle or similar product. A couple weeks after the purchase Hydracentials sent "koozie typle sleeve" to wrap around the outside of the bottle.

Yes, although I use it only for cold liquids. It holds cold temperatures for up to four/five hours. I love this bottle.

It keeps warm better than cold, but, today was really hot and when I got back in our car after having the cup in there for an hour, the water was lukewarm, as compared with the water in my plastic water bottle, which was hot.

No leakage problems, at all! This is a very sturdy bottle and worth every penny! You can put ice and water in it and it stays ice cold for 12 hours. We got them after family members used them in the service in Hawai'i. The bottle does not sweat, at all:)
