I work in out of my car all day . . . will this keep water cold if left in a semi-hot car for periods of up to an hour at a time?

Yes! I am amazed at how long this will keep ice frozen. I have left it in the car when out running errands and it stays cold several hours. In the house it will keep ice greater than 12 hours, but it does melt a little faster when in hot environments.
2049292
yes..... I have left it in my car for up to 2 hours not wanting to carry it while biking or skating and it still hold the cold very good.

Absolutely! I've left mine in the hot car for 8 hrs and when I got back the beverage was still cold and even still had ice in it! Believe me you won't be dissapointed!

My guess is it will if not in direct sunlight. The metal will absorb the heat from the sun.

I have had mine for 6 months or better now. Works fine in very hot and very cold weather. No issues at all with road trips either. It does leak slightly on the side where 2 pieces come together in heavy rain but that's my only complaint.

This does not sweat with cold liquid and/or ice cubes. The liquid stays cold for 4 hours...it's a great water bottle.

It varies. On a normal 70-90 degree day, kept out, it usually lasts 6-8 hours or more. The ice cubes will have melted some. Even when they have all melted, the water is still cool. In a hot car, an hour or two, but I live where the temps can rise considerably, so a lot will depend on where you live and the time of year. Also, make sure to fill thermos with cool to cold water. Warm water will start to melt the ice right away.

Yes but I wouldnt count on it for more than an hour. It doesnt keep baby bottles cold without the ice pack I have for it. I bought my own. You are better off for warm ones to warm how ever many bottles worth and put into a good glass lined thermos. Then bring empty bottles and fill as needed.

I've had no problems with leakage with it falling over in the car but that was never for more than a couple of hours and I usually didn't have a thin liquid in it. I would try to keep it upright if possible though.

It will stay on and keep re heating the water,however,I wouldn't leave it on for hours,but if you were going to want to have a second cup in a half hour or so,you could leave it on as long as it has water in the little tank.

If you fill with cold water it will be cool. Because it's capacity is so large, it will remain cold or hot for a longer time. Remember it's also heavier.

Yea it work well if you are working out in the gym. It will hold cool up to 4 hour, if you are using it outside it can keep you cool but it can dry up depending on how hot it is. That one thing you will need to keep a bottle of water with you no matter how hot the water is it stay cool.

Seriously doubt your drinks would be cold for very long in that situation. First, this isn't a fridge but a cooler. Myself, have never had reason to use this without it being hooked up to electricity. If you must unplug this while in use, suggest using some of the blue ice items to help keep your drinks cold. That should give you an hour or more.

I don't know if it can be carried in your car for a prolonged period or not. I can tell you it does not leak.

I think it depends on how much water you started with. Mine will keep ice cubes for about 24 hours as long as I started with mostly ice.

I have never had any condensation at all...and my drinks stay cold for hours (like 8 or so) even when left in the hot car.

Similar weather to where I am. It will get cool in about 2 hrs. If the drinks are cold going into unit they will lose some coolness within first hour then be maintained at that temperature until around 2 hrs when they start to really cool down. Long trips or short stops will keep it all KOOL

Possibly for short periods of time, depending on outside temperature as long as their is ice it should work. Based on my experience I would not expect this cooler to keep something frozen for more then 1 to 2 hours in a very hot environment.

My guess is no. First off, you would probably damage the bottle, and second, the bottle is so well insulated that it would probably take a long time to get the snow/ice melted. I have heard of people in AZ and other warm states talk about how iced tea, or ice water will stay for hours in their Hydro Flask in a car well over 120 degrees (they even said the bottle was too hot on the outside, but still had ice inside). Now, is it possible? I think it could be, so if you are only concerned about using it emergencies, I think you are okay. Otherwise, I would purchase a small tin cup or something to add to my pack in case of emergencies. My guess is no.

Hot??, that's subjective. If unopened it would keep hot liquid fairly warm. Best you can expect, subject to outside temperature
