Zéfal Arctica SC 55 blue 550 ml: a compact insulated water bottle for cycling

A 550ml insulated water bottle for bike rides

The Zéfal Arctica SC 55 blue/black 550ml insulated water bottle is designed to keep drinks at the right temperature for up to 2.5 hours while protecting the mouthpiece from mud and dirt. Its 550ml capacity, multi-layer construction, and soft-cap closure make it a suitable accessory for road cycling, gravel riding, or mountain biking.

The polypropylene body minimizes odor and taste alterations to preserve the quality of the beverage. ARCTICA technology combines a double shell, an insulating air layer, polyethylene foam, and a metallized PET surface to slow heat exchange with the external environment.

The cap features a removable food-grade silicone spout and a mud guard. Its tapered shape at the top makes it easier to grip and improves its stability in the bottle cage. The Zéfal Arctica SC55 is designed and manufactured in France, withstands temperatures up to 80°C, and is dishwasher safe.

ARCTICA insulated system

Maintains temperature for up to 2.5 hours

ARCTICA technology is designed to keep the drink at the right temperature for up to 2.5 hours depending on usage conditions.

Multi-layer construction

The isothermal system combines several complementary layers to slow down heat transfer between the drink and the external environment.

Double hull

The double-hull construction naturally limits heat exchange with the outside.

Insulating air layer

A thin layer of air is trapped between the walls using laser welding. This layer contributes to the thermal insulation of the container.

Thermo-reflective barrier

A structure composed of insulating foam and metallized PET acts as a barrier against thermal radiation.

Performance varies depending on conditions

The duration of temperature maintenance may vary depending on the outside temperature, sun exposure, remaining liquid volume and general conditions of use.

Triple-layer construction

Insulating architecture

The Zéfal Arctica SC55 uses a triple-layer construction designed to improve its isothermal properties.

Composition of the insulation system

• Polypropylene walls
• Polyethylene insulating foam
• Metallized PET outer surface
• White PE interior lining

Odorless polypropylene

Mudproof cap

Pacifier protector

The mud guard protects the teat from splashes, dust and dirt.

By isolating the teat from the external environment, the cap helps to keep the contact area cleaner.
