Freezing water bottle

[Eden]

Now there is a 500ml version of this bottle that is only 9 1/2 inches tall... if TE were to get some of these made up with their logo I think I'd be pretty quick to buy one

I love love love the Nissan Leak-Proof BackPack Bottle to keep my coffee HOT. I never thought of it to keep water from freezing, but it sure would work. It even has the ridge for the water bottle holder and I find it works great on a bike. (interesting, since that isn't its intended purpose). It has a really great flip top lid that makes drinking on the bike, then resealing easy.
Can get it from Sweet Marias, I'm sure from other places as well.

not cheap, but truly works for coffee anyway.
I gave one to a friend for Christmas last year. Her complaint is that it keeps her coffee too hot.

Ooooooh that looks cool.. or should I say hot...

Listed dimension are less than 10", so maybe it'll fit on your bike. If you like I can measure mine to make sure.
One thing - it fits my water bottle cages perfectly. For some reason it rattles in my friend's cages. She's cut off the top of a sock and uses that to wrap her's in to stop the rattling. Regardless, it has never jumped out of either of our water bottle cages.
I posted this last year in a coffee thread, and a few said they were going to try it. I'd love to see someone else's review of the thing, make sure I'm not out in left field all by myself.

Ooooh.
That is neat.
I use a crummy cheapo vacuum sealed thermos from Ikea. It also rattles a bit, but waterbottle cages can bend...your friend should squeeze the cage around the bottle some (assuming she has metal cages).
I also have tried the Soho mug from Trek, but it's just a travel mug and doesn't keep coffee hot on a cold day.
I don't think I'd recommend it for the OP, either.

I go with a camelbak with insulated hose.

I'm bumping this back to the top to thank TsPoet for the recommendation!!!

I just used my backpack thermos on my bike this morning and it worked great! It rattles a little in my bottle cage, but nothing too annoying. I'll try bending the cage a bit and I'm sure that'll secure it. But it didn't leak even a tiny bit and it is keeping my coffee super hot!!

The packaging said it would keep liquids hot for 8 hours and cold for 12 (I think). Sounds like I've got a winner here!! Thanks, again.

I have this and I love it. Just got to make sure you wash it out each night or the rubber on the top will absorb odors. It really does keep coffee hot even when I am biking in the freezing cold. I pour my first cup of coffee/ tea into a mug. Also as long as there is no liquid in the top seal before you close it, it is 100% leak proof- although I guess it isn't really a leak if it isn't thoroughly dried.

I haven't actually put it in my bottle holder, just in a pannier, because I have been too scared of scratching it. Silly I know but it is so pretty.

How about something like this:

When I use to mountaineer I used something that was made of neoprene. It was a sleeve for my water bottle. It worked great. I can't remember who made it...
