- Since their introduction in 1994, Polar’s innovative insulated cycling bottles have been popular among cyclists worldwide. With a distinctive multi-layer design with visible insulation layer, the original Polar bottles were developed specifically for the unique challenges of cycling. The Polar Breakaway bottles reviewed here are the latest iteration of their cycling bottles that modernizes the design and improves the usability. Designed and produced in Colorado, the Breakaway bottles feature an easy to squeeze design with the self-sealing Surge Cap. Available in both insulated and non-insulated variations, the bottles offer unique designs at affordable prices.
We found that both the insulated and non-insulated variations have a subtle texture to them that makes them easy to handle one-handed. The most distinctive aspect of the Polar Breakaway bottles is the Surge Cap. Although Polar describes it as an “innovative high-flow self-sealing valve” , those of us who have used other bottles like the CamelBak Podium or Elite JET and Elite FLY bottles will find a lot of familiar design elements here. What makes the Surge Cap unique is the fact that Polar combines a push-pull valve to lock the nozzle and a pressure activated membrane inside the nozzle. This means you get the best of both worlds, a non-spill cap that is also easy to lock one handed or with your mouth. Cleaning is also simple with these bottles as the cap has only two parts: the nozzle and the cap itself unlike the multi-part CamelBak Podium nozzle designs...

Nice thorough review. Thanks!
Thanks for the vid, answers all my questions on the insulated bottles!
Excellent review!
Thanks! Glad it could help. The Breakaway bottles are still our daily cycling bottle and have been holding up well. The only thing I wish I had added to the review was that the grooves on the lid are hard to clean.
I was debating whether I would buy another camelbak, the polar looks ez to clean, too much messing around with camelbak bottle nozzles just to clean it. Great review !
Thanks! I've also swapped my CamelBak Podium bottles for the Polars. They look cool and as you touched on far easier to clean.
What's man's greatest invention?????!
Answer: "The Thermos....."
Person asking the question: "why the hell is a thermos the greatest invention?!? All it does it keep liquid cold or hot?!????
Answer: "Yes....... exactly.....but how does it know ???"
Your daily dose of dumb jokes lol
do you really think insulated water bottle's help ? I have a few insulated bottles, but i never felt, they were much better, for the bulk that they add. How much temperature difference would there be in the water if both insulated and uninsulated were outside for 1 hour at @ 80 degrees?
Yes, I highly recommend using insulated bottles vs non-insulated. I don't have specific temperature vs time data, but here in the California sun an insulated bottle can remain cool for a few hours depending on the temperature outside. Drinking warm water in the middle of a ride isn't very satisfying. You do sacrifice a little water capacity but it's worth it especially if you put ice in the bottle or put it in the fridge overnight.
If you freeze the bottle before using it, does it keep the contents any more cold? Or is it only an insulator that keeps the interior temperature fairly stable (so I should make sure to make the fluid extra cold or extra hot, depending)?
Yes, for really hot rides freezing your bottle overnight can keep it cooler for longer. Just make sure not to overfill it when you freeze it will expand a bit as it freezes.
@@TheSweetCyclists I was thinking about freezing an empty bottle, not a full one. Does the insulation act like a cold pak?
Have you tested the insulation between the Polar and Camelbak? Would have been good info to have.
We haven't done a formal test with thermometer yet, but have spent most of the summer riding with the CamelBak and Polar bottles. We plan on doing an Elite insulated bottle in the near future and will try to do a test across the bottles.

Will you test zefal?
Do you mean the Zefal Sense Pro bottles? They seem less common here in the US, but we can try to get some to review.
@@TheSweetCyclists Same situation in my country. What about taxc?
@@TheSweetCyclists Anyway I'm interested
