Polar Insulated Bottles are BPA free and made in USA
Summer may be starting to wind down, but it's still hot and dry here near the Texas Gulf Coast with temperatures tipping a hundred degrees most days. Considering the importance of staying hydrated felt it a good idea to give it a "blog about".
While riding in Southeastern New Mexico I discovered the need of an insulated water bottle like the ones pictured from Polar. Foil insulation built into the bottle so that the bottle can be placed in the fridge or freezer for added cooling. With 20 and 24oz. capacities it's nice to have ample supply of cool drinking water when temperatures rise as they tend to during "dog days of August". I prefer to use water containers that are not plastic, however these are now BPA free with toxic plastic hardeners removed. Another bonus is that they're made in the U.S.A., quote from their site:

Hydration packs have become very popular and are often designed for specific activities. Camelbak has been setting the standard for most activity specific packs such as mountain biking, road riding, commuting, etc. Two models shown at right are both cycling specific packs with different capacities and packing space. Ol' Camelbak Capo has added ability to put things on it, not just in it with adjustable straps. While the High Sierra Splash 70 pack is excellent for longer rides without added weight on the back yet has the same bladder capacity.
I prefer the Camelbak hands free Antidote Reservoir as another BPA free product with proven quality. hands free mode is nice to have when commuting in traffic or when fatigued.
