Renamed but just as good - Hydrapak Polar Breakaway Insulated Water Bottles Review - feat. Surge Cap

The Polar water bottles were a popular choice for cyclists looking for insulated or non-insulated BPA free bottles for hydration on the go and were one of our personal favorites. That’s why many people were saddened to hear the brand would be going away in 2024. However, the brand was simply merged into their parent company HydraPak with some bottle renaming and updates. HydraPak has renamed the bottles and updated them with a new cap and various graphic designs. Retail price ranges from $13 to $16 depending on the size of the bottle and whether you choose the non-insulated Breakaway or the insulated Polar bottles. The insulated bottles retain the tri-layer insulation design with the distinctive reflective exterior shield. All the bottles are offered with either the Surge jet valve or the simpler Sport push-pull nozzle caps.

Visually, the Polar and Breakaway bottles retain the same unique visual graphics and simple cap design that made the bottles so popular. There are essentially two versions of the bottle, the insulated Polar and the non-insulated Breakaway bottles. That’s not to be confused with the Breakaway+ bottles which have built-in filters on the caps. For those familiar with the original Polar Breakaway bottles, the new naming is pretty confusing as the full name for the insulated bottles is now HydraPak Polar which combines both brand names into one. There are also two cap options for both bottles, the familiar jet-valve style Surge or Sport which is a push-pull nozzle. Both caps have the same thread pitch as the previous Polar bottles which means you can mix and match the caps across the Sport and Surge bottles or put them on an older bottle.

The insulated bottles have a transparent outer plastic and the insulating foil-like material visible behind it. HydraPak offers an impressive range of graphic and color options with the insulated Polar bottles which all have a unique metallic like appearance thanks to the reflective heat shields. Currently, you can get the insulated Polar bottles in fourteen color variations from their standard wave-like designs, contender, pulse and splash series. All of the colors look great and have a metallic finish and graphics that help them stand out and the HydraPak water-droplet logo printed on them prominently. The standard wave bottles have multi-colored topographical overlays that look like waves or a mountain range along with metallic solid colors behind it.
