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.

Yes, you can put ice cubes in as I do it all the time. I will say that this bottle does not keep the water cold as long as the thermos brand bottle of similar size. I have both and the thermos brand will keep liquid cold as long as 24 hours. The bubba bottle just keeps it cold for 8-12.

This stays cold a long time, so I would say yes. We are very pleased with it.

Yes, I have left it in the car while shopping and the water in it was still cool when I returned. It does sweat a little with ice in it, though.as far as the comment about it being thin, I have found it to be very durable. It has been dropped twice with very minor scratching as a result. This was not true of my last bottle.

Yes, it stays cooler than those old fashioned "bead" neck ties. I'm glad I bought it - the cooling lasts for a few tennis games then I re-wet it with cold water and it's good for quite a while. We live in low humidity so it dries out faster for that reason. You can cut it in half, lengthwise, and put the other one in a bag of cold water and keep switching them on and off, too.

This is not an insulated bottle designed to keep things cold for any length of time. It's just a very good water bottle, but will need ice to stay cold.

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.

This is an educated guess, it will keep water from freezing but not too long, as a function of the air temperature and wind chill factor. A thermos flask will do a bit better.

Yes. I fill it 1/2 full of water and put in freezer and when it is frozen I take out and add water to keep it cold. I love the bottle! It never leaks so it is the only one I use in my boys sports bag. I wish Nalgene would make an 8oz size for lunchboxes.

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.

It's not insulated, when I've taken this hiking/backpacking, if it's really hot. The water starts to get warm, you can buy a insulated pack to keep the liquids cool but they are sold separately and sometimes aren't compatible with the pack.

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.

Due to its double walled nature, it is a bit big and bulky for the amount of water it holds. But it does keep the water cold for many hours. Personally, I would use a smaller bottle that isn't insulated to carry water around for the day. I use this bottle at home and in the car. I am not sure of its exact capacity.

Yes. These keeps liquids cold for 12+ hours. I actually filled mine with ice water one afternoon and took it to the gym. Upon my arrival at home, however, I forgot to take my Bubba Sport inside. The next day, the water was still cold and there was still a fair amount of ice remaining!

We generally add ice cubes in our packs when we fill them up to make them stay cooler longer. Plain ole water will stay slightly cooler outside than if it was in a bottle but does get warm because of the sun and your body temperature in a few hours.

I love this bottle. It does not leak. Yes it does get condensation on the bottle but I love cold water so I fill it full of ice then add water that way as the ice melts I continue to have cold water all day. Answer here...

I don't know. I have the older version that is not insulated. You'll need to check the size of your insulated bottle.
