I mean vacuum insulated bottles with drink tops just like a bike bottle. No need to stop. I have 5 or 6 different kinds. I have a push button flip top that is good for hot coffee that can be used with one hand on the go too. I carry the same amount of water in the winter as I do in the summer. Plus a hot drink.
A hot drink in the middle of a long cold ride is very luxurious.
