Is it safe to freeze the bottle with water in it?

yes, it's made of the copolyester...it will sweat though w/o a sleeve or insulation. Link below will show you temp ranges for copolyester. http://nalgene.com/materials/

I would not recommend freezing this bottle, freezing the liquid causes the bottle to expand and then contract would cause damage.

I have never tried to freeze it but it workes real good just putting cold water on it. I don't think it would be healthy to freeze it and put it on your head

I bought a little thermometer and put it in the fridge. It will freeze soda and bottled water if set to the coldest.

I think so. We "cheat" a little bit. We froze our water bottles about 25% full the night before. The next morning, we filled them with cold water, placed them in the cooler, and placed our snacks around the bottles. We didn't unpack the cooler until the next day and everything was still cold. We really like it.

For long lasting ice, save your 16oz water bottles. Fill them almost full with water and leave the cap just a little loose and put them in the freezer. When frozen securely tighten caps. Use the frozen bottles in place of ice cubes to keep an ice chest cool and they will last DAYS, and you can finish them off as ice water. I've done this for years and it' amazing how long they remain frozen.

It is in powder form inside of clear gel capsules so the likelihood of freezing or high heat should be no problem. The bottle also contains a drying agent too , but not sure if that does anything.

Definitely leak proof. Would be nervous to freeze it though. It's basically a glass bottle that fits into a protective plastic sleeve. I'd be afraid freezing it might just shatter the glass.

I never used it cold, but from what I remember you just need to put it in the fridge or freezer when it's in a liquid state.

currently my answer is NO. if the cap is better closed . l place it in my baby bag while family outing. you know that the bottle would not stand still. but there is no water in the bag.

Tempting. I was afraid to do so but I did freeze just a few times. Lid off, 1/3 fill and froze it overnight. Next am I put water in it and had very cold water all day. I froze another similar bottle almost full, it worked so well that it didn't thaw enough to drink for 8 hours. I bought the wide mouth Kleen Kanteen for ease of adding ice and that works just as well for my purpose. My KK tolerated a few freezes, lid off, no problem. Hope this helps.

It's not necessary. The bottle says to store between 59-86 degrees and not to freeze.

Well the mouth of the bottle is big enough you can put most sized ice cubes in it to help extend the cold temperature. Do NOT put water in the metal bottle and freeze it or it may change the shape of the bottle as water is very strong when it expands through freezing.

I would not freeze milk in these. You can freeze your milk in storage bags and thaw them to put into the bottles.

I have not tried to freeze it. Freezing water makes it expand and could crack it. Your question is a good one. It would be nice to have cold water. The mfg should know the answer.

I haven't frozen any beverages in the bottles. I think you won't have any trouble freezing liquid in the bottles as long as you leave move for expansion.

Don't freeze your bottle! I put in 14Oz of water and mine exploded. Don't freeze your bottle. It will break.
