Note, though, that a 500ml bottle will hold temperature longer than 350ml, so you may consider a larger version. I don't have many hour experience at the temperatures you mention, but after 2h at say -22C the drinks stay fairly warm.
I taped a foam beer cosy around mine so it fits the bottle cage perfectly.
