Thermos Stainless Steel Hydration Bottle

I enjoy using this bottle a lot. I was initially looking for the 22oz E5 bottle, but it was out of stock everywhere I looked. I purchased this bottle instead and it has worked out well.

I really like video reviews of products that actually let you see the product. Since this bottle did not have a video yet, I thought I would make a video review. I hope it helps you decide if this is right hydration bottle for you too.

I like my water to be ice-cold when I am biking. I tried a bunch of things with my standard issue water bottle filling it with ice cubes and adding pre-chilled water, filling it with ice cubes and a little pre-chilled water, freezing some water in the bottle and adding some pre-chilled water.... regardless of what combination I tried the water was tepid after 45 minutes. I looked for a couple of weeks at all the offerings that Amazon had when you search for insulated water bottle, and after using this one for 2 weeks I can say that I purchased the hands down best one for using on my bike.

My normal ride is going to be anywhere from 80 to 120 minutes in length. I get a glass full of ice and add water and let it chill for the 5 minutes it takes me to get my gear on. The screw off top makes it easy to pour the water in and the 4 or 5 ice-maker ice-cubes I top it off with. The cubes will still be in the bottle at the end of the ride and the water will have been ice cold for the duration. It is easy to pull it out of the cage and to replace it when done. I purchased a Topeak Modula Cage Waterbottle Cage to hold it because it is adjustable and highly rated. It works well with the bottle, although while it doesn''t scratch the bottle, it is possible to see in the brushed finish where it contacts the bottle as it is taken out and put back in. The marks seem to mostly disappear when I rub with my thumb, but if you are desirous of the bottle keeping a pristine appearance you might want to look at some of Topeak''s other offerings. To me, it is easier to drink from this bottle than one of the normal bottles with the pull-out nipple. One push of the thumb on the release button and the top springs open and exposes the wide mouth spout. The bottle does not add any flavor to the water. The cap is equally easy to close as it was to open, and the bottle does not leak when it is inverted, shaken, etc. I was somewhat nervous about the shape of the bottle as far as dropping it, but now that I have used it I have found that the ridged rubber grip on the bottle and the fact that it is not slippery because it does not sweat have put that fear to rest. Opening and closing the bottle are both one handed operations and can be accomplished by touch. I am sure that there will be some that wish it held more than 18 ounces, and if I extend out my rides to where it''s a problem for me I guess I''ll just buy a second one and mount it so that I could swap out as needed.

I take water everywhere. I don''t want plastic. And I had a very nice looking and "safe" water bottle. Trouble was, it didn''t keep my water cold and got hot fast. In addition, it was a hassle unscrewing it, taking a drink and putting the cap back. Took both hands and lots of time. Useless in the car.

This Thermos is wonderful! I have the Hydration Bottle 2465. It keeps your water COLD all day. It''s easy to hold and pack in a purse or any sort of bag. And you can easily open it with one hand, flip it open and take a drink. Use one hand in the car and enjoy your water.

It''s sturdy and has a nice feel.

I have the 18 oz, which is perfect for me. I''m sure the larger size is every bit as good. I wouldn''t be without this great bottle.

Highly recommended.

1/5/2010 IMPORTANT UPDATE: I''ve had this bottle now over one year. I''ve had to replace a washer in it twice because it leaked. The manufacturer provided me with about five of them free. However, this is annoying. Due to that, I can''t recommend this bottle. I still use mine and so far it''s doing fine. But this seems to be a common problem with the bottle (they knew immediately what the problem was when I described it) and not one you want to have to deal with.

Forget those expensive metal water bottles from the Swiss. This is exactly what I wanted. It holds 18 ounces, keeps water cool for hours, has a rubber grip in the center, is all steel inside and out except for the cap, has a neat cap that pops open when you push a button, has a clasp to keep it shut, is water tight, easy to clean, etc. Very well designed, in my opinion. The vacuum layer is steel so you don''t have to worry about a glass vacuum inner bottle breaking. Perfect for those who do not want to drink out of leeching plastic bottles. I am very happy with this.

Want Thermos Stainless Steel Hydration Bottle Discount?

This is fairly expensive, but I am very please with the quality of the product. Previously, I had been buying plastic bottles every few months, until the it got too dirty and started making the water taste bad.

With this bottle, I find myself drinking more water.

Pros:

Stainless steel(BPA fee), so water taste good and doesn''t pick up residues

Insulated, so no wet messes on your desk & papers due to condensation

Nice cap design, I like the way the lid closes and seals the bottle from the outside. It''s really easy to open close

Mouth piece, very easy to drink from, so no spill and you get plenty of water, so no sipping like Dasani bottles

Cons:

The only one I could think of is the opening is kind of small to it can be hard to put ice in there if you have large pieces of ice or you are trying to fill the ice from an ice machine. But, that is being really picky.

Planet Bike Stainless Steel Bicycle Waterbottle Cage

The short version is that these are fine cages, hold well and being SS won''t mark up your bottles. Decently made, especially for the price, a classic look and very functional. The pair of these cost about the same as a single Blackburn bottle cage.

Unlike the other reviewer who was dismayed to find the satin finish, I prefer it to the polished look.

I hacked off a star because they are advertised all over the place (including the manufacturer''s site) as being 44 grams. They are not. I bought two and they weighed in at 54 and 55 grams respectively (the same weight as the coated alloy Blackburn cages I am replacing). Not a HUGE deal, but that''s too much a difference to be explained away by manufacturing tolerances... 44 grams is simply a lie.

Very lightweight and straightforward cage. However, this cage may be more suitable for road riding than mountain riding. Mountain cages tend to be stiffer to avoid dropped bottles.

This is a decent bottle holder that is decently made for the price; I had purchased it as a second bottle holder on my road bike. My main gripe about it is that it does not hold water bottles as firmly as my other aluminum bottle cage. I have yet to dislodge a bottle while going over a bump, but bottles have come loose before. Overall, I think there are bottle holders out there that are more fitted than this one that would be better suited for someone with a road bike.

Camelbak Eddy Bottle

Here is a little background information-

For several years now, I have been using the Camelbak better bottles with bite valves (previous version of the Eddy). I use them everyday and take them practically everywhere I go. The no-tilt, spill-proof design has made drinking water effortless and convenient. Needless to say, they pay for themselves in a matter of weeks. Every friend or family member that has tried a Camelbak bottle has also fallen in love!

There are 2 major complaints I have with the older version:

1. Two of my bottles with a blue bite valve have limited, slow flow.

2. The flip plastic piece is prone to breakage. I broke one by dropping it in the parking garage from arms length. (Luckily, Camelbak will kindly and promptly send you a new cap if this does happen with no questions asked their customer service is awesome, and they stick by their lifetime guarantee!)

The new Eddy bottle fixes both of these issues:

1. The new bite valve and wider straw allow for a smoother, faster flow and make thirsty drinkers like me very happy.

2. The flip mechanism is now made of rubber meaning you can throw this bottle pretty much against anything without breaking any part.

Now, I will address the other negative reviews-

As the original Camelbak water bottle had so many passionate users, it is natural for this new version to be criticized for minor changes. When you first get the bottle, opening and closing the bite valve may feel stiff and require a little more force. However, it loosens up after you break it in with use for a few days or so. Now, I can easily open it with one hand, one finger. Also, when you first get the bottle, make sure the slit in the bite valve is open a gentle squeeze will do the trick if it is not already open. Biting the valve to drink may initially feel awkward, but you will soon realize it actually encourages you to drink more water.

As for your fingers touching the bite valve, it does so ever so slightly depending on how you open the bite valve and only touches the very bottom of the bite valve where your mouth does not normally touch. The mold issue within the bite valve may happen if you neglect to clean your water bottle for long periods of time, but the straw and rubber bite valve do both snap off for easier cleaning. The top or bottom dishwasher rack is fine for the bottle itself, but I do recommend hand cleaning the cap and bite valve whenever possible.

Please note that the bottle may be larger than many cup holders. Per my measurements, the bottom of the 0.75 liter bottle is 3 inches (7.6cm) wide and the bottom of the 1 liter bottle is 3.375 inches (8.6cm) wide. I don''t own the 0.6 liter bottle. The overall shape of both bottles is sleek and easy to grasp with one hand or conveniently carry with a finger through the loop in the cap. Also, both bottles can be comfortably held and flipped open with one hand, although those with smaller hands may prefer the 0.75 liter bottle, which is also more likely to fit into car cup holders.

Although the Amazon.com description does not state it, these are 100% BPA-free just like the older Camelbak bottles!

I rarely write reviews for products, but Camelbak water bottles are one of the best purchases I have ever made. If you are looking for a new water bottle, want to drink more water, or just want to be more environmentally conscious, I highly recommend you try this bottle. You will certainly not be disappointed with the high quality, practically indestructible construction. Plus, the sizes and color options on Amazon cannot be beat. I now have 3 of these Eddy bottles and will update the review over time after I see how they hold up.

08/01/2012 UPDATE:

I have now used the Eddy bottles for 2 months. They have gone everywhere with me and been dropped countless times but still look and work great. One note is that putting the cap and bite valve in the dishwasher may loosen the the flip mechanism, although it still snaps in place and is still 100% functional I recommend hand washing these parts if you think this may bother you. When reassembling, push the straw all the way into the cap, or it may touch the bottom of the bottle and limit flow.

03/01/2013 UPDATE:

After 9 months, I am still very happy with my purchase. When the bite valve or spout in the cap need scrubbing, I have found that cotton q-tips or mini-cleaning brushes used for baby bottles work well. Make sure not to push the cleaning tool through the bite valve slit, as this can loosen it and result in leaks. If you do need to replace the bite valve, Amazon conveniently sells 2 Groove Bite Valves (same as the Eddy bite valves) for $6 with free shipping. If there is something wrong, it is also easy to replace it through Camelbak by simply filling out an online request form.

After trying dozens of other reusable bottles my wife and I tried out the Camelbak "Better Bottle" (750 ml) and fell in love with it about three years ago. We use them everyday, at work, the gym and everywhere in between. After considerable abuse the spout caps broke and the spout connectors had come unhinged so we needed new bottles. We were a bit hesitant but liked the way the design looked for the new Camelbak "Eddy" (750 ml). Verdict: The Eddy is better than the Better bottle.

Pros:

Spout cap is now fully covered and integrated as part of the removable rubber bite valve cover which protects it from being damaged. Great idea to protect the integrity of the spout and it also works to protect things the bottle may knock into. The Better Bottle''s cap end, which you use to flip the spout open was exposed and made of hard plastic...needless to say the thing was just begging to be chipped or broken with every drop or fumble. Great upgrade!

Bottle tops are a little more sleek-looking and the plastic seems to be a bit softer and more supple. Again, a bonus for when (not if) you drop this thing. You likely will not damage it, but when it is full it is pretty hefty. Softer plastic may save it from damaging whatever it hits.

The plastic straw is bigger, meaning it is wider and can draw more fluid in. Much needed upgrade. My biggest complaint with the Better Bottle was that you would have to work a little too hard to draw fluid up, especially during workouts when you are really thirsty and want water fast. The bigger straw is a big bonus.

Bottle top seems to be a better (tighter) fit. We had some issues with the Better Bottles leaking when not screwed on SUPER tight. That may have been from washing and use, but the tops on the Eddy seem to be a easier and tighter fit.

Camelbak guarantees the product for life. I doubt I will have to test their policy out, but that should make you feel confident in this purchase.

Cons:

The bottle top for the Eddy, like the Better Bottle, has little nooks and crannies where mold will grow if you don''t wash religiously. It will also grow in the straw pretty easily. You just can''t stick it in the dishwasher and guarantee that you get it all clean. You pretty much have to use a small brush to get in there and get the mold out. I recommend getting the cheapest brushes you can find, not the overpriced Camelbak kit (we actually use our daughter''s baby bottle brushes). Also, the Camelbak cleaning tabs, while super convenient, are also a waste of money. Just get a big generic bottle of distilled white vinegar, mix it at a three-to-one parts ratio of water to vinegar and use that solution to sanitize it and clean out the mold. We try to soak the bottle in the solution once a month or so for a few hours, brush clean all the parts with the solution, and then drop it all in the dishwasher to get the solution (and its horrible taste and smell) off. We just drop them in the dishwasher once a week for routine maintenance without using the solution for a quick clean.

The Eddy on Amazon is a bit overpriced. We bought our first two Eddy bottles at $15 a pop with free Prime shipping. Not bad, but we found a better deal with free shipping (not two day, but close) online and got three more Eddy bottles for $12 a pop.

Amazon is listing the 750ml Eddy as a "Kid''s" bottle...its not the Kid-sized version. Also, many of the pictures don''t match up with the actual product you are getting on Amazon''s site. Just do a little research and you should be fine.

That''s it. Great product for you and the environment. Probably the best $15 you will ever spend as it will probably pay for itself in month or two.

Bought my first one five years ago and still am using it was my bedside water bottle with no replacement hoses or tips. Has saved me from spilling water on phone, iPad , floor on countless occasions. Safe clean and secure, it''s like having your personal water dispenser on the side of the bed. Bought one for fiancé when she moved in and we both can sleep knowing that neither the cats, dogs or ourselves are going to spill water on our electronics. Have dropped it countless times and built like a Tonka truck, no cracks or leaks after five years!!!

I have been using these bottles for a couple of years now and just now realized this. The top is made of two pieces held together by a screw with a security torx head, who has one of those at home, guess I need to go the store to get one. This top piece started leaking on me and when I pried up the edge and looked inside I saw bits of food and mold inside. Unless you want to unscrew and disassemble your bottle top every time you wash it Id recommend against this bottle until they fix this issue or make it easier to take apart.

I had the though tot take it apart after I buy the torx driver and hot glue the edges so they are sealed, but if you look at the straw section, that too is open to the gap between the top pieces. Im gonna be throwing mine away if taking it apart is too much of a PITA.

BTW I DO wash this thing every day in the dishwasher.

It''s a water bottle, so there''s not much to say. It holds water. I only have 2 issues. The stickers they put on it must be affixed with some industrial strength glue. They left a nasty residue that took forever to get off. The other issue is that unless its kept vertical it leaks ever so slightly. My daughter has come home with a wet backpack on several occasions.

Sigg Petite Touch Loop Top Water Bottle (0.4-Liters) Save 10% off

Overall a nice bottle--tough, durable and it''s surprisingly an uncommon color/texture (most pink bottles I found were glossy and with cheesy images on on them). This one is more of a matte finish with a subtle pink that matches my wife''s bike. Overall a good find. The only reason I didn''t give it 5 stars is because I thought the price was a bit much for this size bottle.

I have several larger Sigg water bottles, and I purchased this smaller Pink Pastel Sigg bottle so that I could put it in my purse or briefcase. It''s a great ''TO GO'' bottle. I notice that the water stays cool longer than water in a plastic bottle of about the same size. It took me a little time to get over the texture, but now I see that it''s kind of nice because the bottle isn''t slippery when wet!

Post Note: Still love the bottle. Carry it everywhere! Will be buying a few for Christmas presents because I''m getting so many compliments on it. IMO, it''s the Green way to go too--fewer plastic bottles thrown away!

M-Wave Plastic Bicycle Bottle Cage Save 65% off

This waterbottle mount can be used horizontally (as shown in the product picture) on your handlebars, for instance, or used vertically on your seatpost or your frame, etc. It has a small metric hex/allen screw that can be used to change the orientation of the mount. Other than switching orientation, there are no tools needed to mount this waterbottle cage!

The mount comes with ZERO instructions, which isn''t cool, but using it is very straightforward and pretty much common sense.

It comes with a tiny black rubber shim that you place between the clamp (touching the bike) and the frame/post of the bike. This keeps the mount from slipping and sliding around.

The mount is bit heavier than it needs to be but it''s due to the clamp and quick-release. The actual cage portion of this product is quite light.

The actual waterbottle cage can be unscrewed from the clamp and used, standalone on bikes that already have braze-ons for waterbottle cages.

On the negative side, if you have a skinny waterbottle it can easily fall from the cage. Also, you have to be careful of the angle at which it sits because the waterbottle sitting in the cage can be knocked loose due to hard road vibration or a really hard bump so mounting it underneath your bike, hanging down, isn''t advised.

This is a great solution for anyone that doesn''t have braze-ons for waterbottles on their bike frame or someone who simply wants to carry extra waterbottles and have them placed anywhere on their bike.

Wanted something easy to use and removable. It is easy but when you remove it, you will see it has scratched the paint where you installed it. The makers need to put some sort of coating on the inside to keep this from happening. If I had it to do all over again I would still buy it but take a bit of dip coating and paint it on the inside of the clamping area. This will keep it from attempting to rotate and keep it from scratching the surface you are clamping it to. The company who made this should have taken this into consideration before selling them.

This Bottle Cage works just as it should. It holds securely and the bottle can be retrieved easily. The camlock on the mount will fit and hold on other than round tubes as well (i.e. it fits perfectly on the triangular grab bar on my tractor). I just ordered two more of them. ''Nuf said!!!

I ordered this with high hopes for the quick release function but was soon let down. The jaws don''t open wide enough to get over the handlebar (I have standard 25.4mm bars) unless you screw out the quick release clamp almost all the way. You then need to screw in the mechanism but the tab is pretty small and hard to get any leverage with just your fingertips to really snug it up tight before you close/lock the tab. The result was a grip that was not tight enough to hold a full water bottle steady without the whole cage rotating downward most annoying. I took it off since it was more trouble than it was worth. I was going to sell it on Ebay then had a brainstorm. I happened to have some cushy foam double-sided Scotch tape in my desk so I cut off a strip of that and wrapped it around the handlebar where I was going to put the clamp. I then used an adjustable crescent wrench to get leverage on the quick release tab so I could snug it up really tight. THEN once the tab was closed and locked everything held firm and I can ride without the bottle slippage. This of course defeats the quick-release aspect of it but that''s ok since I like having the water bottle right at my fingertips and the cage holds a Klean Kanteen 27 oz. bottle firmly without bouncing or slipping. If I had to to it over again I probably would have ordered the Avenir clamp-on bottle cage instead but this has worked out ok after my tweaking. Useless as a true quick-release due to the issues described but ok as a semi-permanent mount cage after the tweaking. 3 stars, middle of the road.

Want M-Wave Plastic Bicycle Bottle Cage Discount?

Our new bikes didn''t have any mounting bosses on the down tube for a water bottle cage, so ultimately after looking online to see what was out there, I settled on the M-Wave. I think it comes pretty close to the perfect design, but not quite close enough. Not that it won''t do what you want it to do, but for silly reasons which to some people may be real ones.

First the good stuff: The plastic material they use is GREAT! It appears to be a high impact plastic, is strong, and the overall design is well thought out. The "camlock" type clamp can rotate 90 degrees in either direction, but it stays at that 90 degree position. That''s because they thoughtfully designed an interlocking part that only can be at a 90 degree interval (vertical or horizontal only) which is pretty much just what it should be. It tightens up independently of the camlock clamp locking lever.

The locking lever is beefy and easy to use. The clamping range appears to be up to as much as possibly 2" in diameter which will fit many bicycle down tubes (and handlebars of course). The range could theoretically be increased if the threaded screw in the clamp was replaced with a slightly longer one, but in normal use that shouldn''t be necessary. The clamp also tightens up independently of the screw that holds the clamp in a 90 degree orientation.

If you detach the clamp from the cage itself, there are slots for mounting the cage to a down tube with mounting bosses. Just keep the clamp assembly if you decide to mount it on another bike that needs the clamp mounting.

Now the not so perfect, BUT almost: As everyone before me has already said, NO instructions. None, nada, zip. Kind of stupid to do that, but in reality, one doesn''t have to be too smart to figure out what to do or how to use it. Second, there are 2 SMALL rubber pads in a plastic bag stapled to the cardboard the cage is attached to. Again, NO reference to them. Obviously you put them on the clamp to prevent scratching. Rather inadequate in size in my opinion. I used a thin sheet of scrap rubber I had laying around which covered all of the area the clamp goes over. That worked just fine. When mounted, in my case on the down tube of the bike, it holds very tightly with essentially no wobble.

BTW, I noticed some comments that some bottles don''t hold properly or are loose in the cage. My only comment to that is that if you buy a PROPER "bottle cage" BOTTLE, it will hold just fine and won''t fall out. That''s the one with the "necked down" area below the top of the bottle, where the top of the cage bends forward and contacts the top of the bottle. That''s why the cages are all designed that way and a proper bottle is made that way. So the bottles will hold tightly. Just as simple as that. I tried a wide variety of "other" bottles, and essentially, if it''s NOT a proper bottle, with likely either not fit right or be loose or something that you won''t be happy with. I also noticed that there are 2 wide slots in the "arms" that go around the middle of the bottle. I think (but am not sure) they could be used for a Velcro strap that would go around the back of the bottle, over the outside of the 2 arms, and fasten in the front. If so, that would surely hold just about any bottle that wasn''t made to firmly fit the cage as long as it was not too tall, or maybe was a little smaller in diameter. Just a thought.

These are the only real qualms that I had with the M-Wave water bottle cage. That''s why only 4 stars. It''s really a 5 star product, but one should be meticulous in stating what is and what isn''t. I have 2 of these cages, and to answer the "old" question: knowing what I know about them NOW, if I hadn''t bought them, would I buy them now? Answer: ABSOLUTELY!

I wish I had all of this info before I took a chance to see if this was what I was looking for. I hope this helps someone in making their decision. Like I said before, a 5 star product, with a 4 star rating. At the low Amazon price, well worth getting.

I have a hand bike I used the water bottle cage maybe 5 or 6 times. The last ride of 15 miles the cage snapped and the water bottle fell out. It appears the tubing is too thin, and where the weld is must of have been brittle.

Been using this on my daily commuter for a few years now, and it''s been fantastic. Really like the "titanium" finish and the clean lines. Looks great, good fit, holds bottles securely but still easy-in easy-out, light weight, pretty durable, what more can I say? Oh, I guess there is one other thing: If you find your bottle rattles around in the cage a bit, just bend the bottom of the cage together a bit for a more snug fit. Easy. I found I had to do this once, maybe a year or so ago, and it''s been snug ever since.

BTW, I highly recommend the Hydro Flask Stainless Steel Insulated Standard Mouth Drinking Bottle (21-ounce) for 4-season use: Keeps your drink from freezing in the winter, keeps your drink icy cool in the summer. And fits perfectly in this bottle cage (and most others).

These holders sure do look nice. Unfortunately at least on my Soma frame, the lowest part of these cages reaches lower than the standard design, and so these touch on the corners. Any lower and they wouldn''t work as a pair. Construction seems good, and they are snug on my bottles but still easy enough to get out a tall Polar bottle in a frame that''s not huge. I''d recommend them on quality, but make sure that you have room to fit these.
