<p>I use a Camel Bak for skiing or activities where I expect to really develop a thirst. For Winter Commuting I find the same solution that I use for warmer weather commuting normally works fine- an insulated bottle. That which keeps it from getting too warm also keeps it from getting too cold. If its so cold that the bottle starts to freeze I am generally not getting all that thirsty.</p>

<p>It keeps my tea hot for several hours even in 15-20 degree weather or lower. Works great in summer for cold stuff too! (Manufacturer says Hot: 5 hours, Cold: 9 hours and I would agree give or take a few)</p>

<p>I rode on those -10 windchill days, and my nalgene with the flip top like this: </p>

<p>never froze completely. I did have to break a hole (really thin layer of ice) w/ my tooth to get at the water. Kleen kanteen/reg bottle tops were freezing early in my ride so I went with the wider spout. The new OTF looks improved with a leakproof cap</p>
