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.

I have used ice twice. Didn't notice much difference from just using water. This is a great unit. i live in AZ and it has been 100 degrees the last few days. this has helped me keep cool.

My water stays cold without ice for many hours; if I add ice there is ice in the bottle the next day. Keeps things nice and cold.

Water stays cold for a long time, fits small spaces including the bottle space in the console of my Honda Civic, and I loved it. I carry it everywhere with me. Even brought it to Malaysia and then to India with me. Now I have lost it and cannot replace it, since I am in India, so I am very sad about my loss.... :(

Yes, it fits in my bottle cage pretty tightly. It has scratched the bottle up a little, but worth it to have cold water on a bike ride!

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!

It works very well. The insulated hose buys you time before it freezes. However, if it gets very cold, you can simply blow into the hose when you're done drinking, so that the water in the hose (especially the mouth piece) will not freeze.

It is not double walled; thus it does not keep liquids cold for prolonge periods of time. Best sugestion would be to put 1/4 full bottle in the freezer over night to prolong the chill.

I Keep bottles Of Water In Mine. It Keeps Them Relatively Cold, But I Don't Know How Long It Takes For Them To Get Cold. I'm Happy With The Temperature Tho.

Sorry, but the cooling zones are even...Works fine, temperature is always perfect! Does not fit big bottles, but 99% of the ones I bought so far fit just fine.

I must say, I own quite a few of these bottles because they are so great! They keep your water cold and because they are double insulated, they do not sweat! My only complaint is, they are getting harder to find. If you are lucky enough to get one and love it, stock up! Hope this helps!

Yes, although I use it only for cold liquids. It holds cold temperatures for up to four/five hours. I love this bottle.

The drink spots are not big enough for the big Nalgene bottles. They are about the circumference of a standard canned good. It does keep drinks nice and cold even in the Miami heat.

I own several of these and I can feel warmth with my coffee (not hot just that it is warm) and just filled my 32oz. with ice water and it is cool on the outside, that doesn't change the fact that it holds the temps whether it is hot or cold. I haven't heard of the bottles being defective.

Sorry to say, I keep mine in an insulated sleeve to keep my water cold longer while @ work, so I can't say for sure

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.
