excellent product, protects the pipe from freezing. You'll need a sip here and there if you're going to be outside all day.

At 4F (-16C) with little or no wind my tube was still freezing after 2 hours. Of course, this made the process longer, but for such a price I certainly expected a little more.

This isn't a miracle cure for cold weather, BUT on a hot, sunny day, it will save you that first sip you drink, burn your mouth, or just plain water to make it less than refreshingly cool. Drinking chamber hoses get hot with prolonged exposure to the sun, and this is an easy fix. It helps with freezing in slightly sub-zero temperatures, but not if you leave it for a few hours, the temperature drops well below freezing, or if you don't move for a long time. However, it is really ok to prevent…

The temperature in both cases is between 20 and 0 degrees Fahrenheit. Day #1, very cold and no isolator = frozen tube. Day #2, not so cold and insulator = frozen tube. I don't know what to say, in my case the isolator is enough. to…
