Zefal Isotherm water bottle keeps water coldest?

I tried the polar bottles and others and so far the
Isotherm kept water the coldest. Is there another one that
is bettter?

Yes. The JSB-500/700 featured on Steve Scharf's BikeCoffee
web site. It is a SS vacuum bottle in 'bottle cage' format.
I have purchased every one that I can get for prices ranging
$20 to $5 - they make great gifts for cyclists.

Zefal Magnum 32oz bottle with half of it's contents pre-
frozen. You must freeze the stuff in the bottle, as a solid
block, rather than stuffing ice cubes into it. Wrap in
aluminum foil to make last longer.

Wow, my ideas sound good, I should try them.

Your Isotherm could benefit from having half it's contents
pre-frozen as a single solid bottle-shaped block also.

Yup, this is good advice. I take mine, fill them 1/2 way or
so, and then lean them up against the wall of the freezer
like at 45 deg. or so. When I'm ready to go, I take them
out, fill them with pre-chilled water from the fridge, and
they last a good long time. Not as long as my camelbak, but
I don't like wearing one on my road bike.

Zefal Magnum's rock.
