I own this bottle in red. Love it. It does not keep water cold or hot but it does not make your surface wet because of the sleeve. I am not a big water drinker but if I have this bottle filled next to me at work I will drink it.

CamelBak Bottle Accessory 2 Bite Valves/2 Straws (Blue)
The product is exactly what it says it is. It''s the standard size top that comes on all the bottles and the straw is sized for the 1L bottle. As for the people complaining about the length... have you ever heard of scissors? There''s even a guide on the back of the packaging to help you figure out how much to cut.
Many reviews have said that the straws are too long. However, the straw is designed to work with multiple sizes and be cut to fit whatever size bottle you actually use. There is a guide in the packaging that shows exactly how long the straw should be for each different size bottle. Cutting the heavy duty straws isn''t easy, but it''s certainly possible.
This replacement should work for all but the small kids bottles that have a different type of bite valve.

This item is as described. Nice CamelBak packaging, straws can be cut to fit desired application using the template on the back of the package. The valves slip right on, no issues.Read Best Reviews of CamelBak Bottle Accessory 2 Bite Valves/2 Straws (Blue) Here
How could something possibly go wrong? I don''t know, but I cut a slit in one of these (they don''t come with the slit to drink through) and it went perfectly. The valve seals completely and I can actually still see the liquid in it. When I went to cut the second one (same extremely sharp pointy knife, same method, etc) instead of cutting a nice straight slit the rubber cracked in a jagged way that doesn''t seal now. Not really sure why they don''t cut them from the factory...Want CamelBak Bottle Accessory 2 Bite Valves/2 Straws (Blue) Discount?
This is a great item to replace worn out bite valves for the camelbak water bottles. The product can be cut to size it for the different bottles--makes it very handy.
Nathan Quickdraw Plus Handheld Bottle Carrier
I''m training for a Tough Mudder, a 12 mile obstacle course, so I''ve been doing 10-12 mile runs. This bottle has been a perfect companion on my training sessions. When I was only doing 5-6 miles I never used anything but now, I can''t imagine doing any run more than 30 minutes without this!-OVERALL-
Hydration is critical to any long-distance run. This bottle can work well for 5k (a little over 3 miles) up to half-marathons (about 13 miles). I will never again go on a run without my trusty handheld bottle.
-SIZE-
I thought 22 oz would be too big and heavy to carry around so I actually considered a 10 oz bottle. I''m glad I went with this one. When I run 10-12 miles, this allows me to take a few sips every mile. Marathoners might need a bit more though.
-COMFORT-
The strap is incredibly comfortable. In fact, I can''t imagine anything more comfortable between the material used, the overall weight, and the secure fit. This holder allows you to carry the bottle without actually holding it with your hand.
-USABILITY-
This thing is so easy to adjust. A simple pull of the strap and it tightens around the hand. When I switch hands, I do a quick release and a quick pull and it''s on the other hand in a matter of seconds. There''s plenty of room so it also allows me to wear gloves easily. The top snaps up and down without leaking.
-DURABILITY-
The bottle is easy to remove to wash and the holder is well made. Seems like it would last for many years and thousands of miles.
-ANNOYANCE FACTORS-
I thought it would take a little getting used to but to be honest, I felt at home with it immediately. Not only is it more convenient then worrying about using a bottle belt but I actually like "holding" it in my hand. I also thought I would be bothered with water moving around but that''s a non-issue. I carry it more like a diagonal position rather than vertical and the water seems to flow fluidly along with my stride.
I bought this for doing runs longer than 10 miles, where I don''t need as much water as a camelbak holds. The bit that holds your water bottle is great. The hand grip portion is suspended with elastic so you can let the bottle go but not feel like the strap is hurting you. The little pocket is great for keys (has an clip inside to hang your keys on), gels and anything you don''t want to carry in your shorts. The contact/emergency card is a nice touch, although if is so small some emergency responders may not be able to read it, but they thoughtfully attached it to a lanyard so it wouldn''t get lost if pulled out.
Cons:
This is one of the worst water bottles I have. Over a 20K run, it will splash about 1/3 of the water all over you. This could be great on a hot summer day, but not so fun when jogging on a windy, winter night. The bottle has done this since day one and has never been run through a dishwasher. The good news, for me, is I didn''t buy this for the water bottle, just the container and I have plenty of excellent Camelbak podium bottles that fit, albeit not as perfectly as the original Nathan bottle. I see the bottle as a freebie, so I didn''t deduct points for it being awful.
Conclusion:
This is an excellent solution for runners and hikers that need enough water for an run or walk that last up to 2 hours.

I bought it so I could put my IPhone in the zippered compartment. I have the older Nathan model and the Nathan hydration pack for longer runs or hikes. I find it holds enough water for a six mile run.Read Best Reviews of Nathan Quickdraw Plus Handheld Bottle Carrier Here
I was looking for something to replace my waist belt, as I couldn''t get it to stop shifting all around and this is perfect! I love that my phone could fit in the pouch if need be as well!Want Nathan Quickdraw Plus Handheld Bottle Carrier Discount?
Pros:-Fairly comfortable in my hand.
-The pouch is a good size. You can cram a lot of stuff in there.
the water flow is good when the stopper is open.
Cons:
The tightening strap came undone the first time I ran with it. It never stayed on for more than 6-8 miles. It wasn''t a huge deal because the permanent neoprene strap was snug enough. But I still don''t understand why the extra tightener wouldn''t stay on.
The rubber stopper is a lame concept. You have to dig your teeth in there to pull it out and then push it back down with your thumb or something if you don''t want your water to go flying everywhere when you''re done.
related to the above, after about my 10th run with this bottle, I pulled the rubber stopper completely out with my teeth while trying to open it. It never closed right again after that and just leaked water.
Overall I prefer the Ultimate Direction bottle, which has its own cons (starts to collapse when the water level gets low) but at least feels like it''s going to stay in one piece when I''m running with it. I''ve been using it for more than 2 years and it still works great.
Bluewave 1 Gallon Refrigerator Bottle
I purchased this item for use in my work van so I could wash my hands or rinse off items easily. It was the perfect size to fit in my van side door, and the valve allows one-handed operation. The problem is the valve leaks. It''s not leaking where the valve attaches to the bottle, but from the valve itself. Others mentioned this in their reviews, but I''d hoped it wasn''t a common occurrence. The lid liner (waxed cardboard) is also cheap and comes out whenever you open the bottle. A simple rubber gasket would have been much more effective.My advice, look for something better.
BETO Adjustable Quick Release Water Bottle Cage Holder Rack for MTB Bike Save 23% off
Our son''s bike (he''s 7) didn''t have the pre-drilled holes that adult bikes have--and the support bars were too thick for traditional water bottle cages. BUT--this is a perfect solution. It fits many different sized bars. He can put it on the lower mid-beam, or on the handle bars. He loves it. And, it feels sturdy. It''s handled a few spills over the last 2 months, but it''s solid.
So, fine, it''s not white. As long as it works, I can live with it. I purchased this to attach to my handle bars, so I needed to rotate the cage with respect to the clamp, so the bottle would point up. I got out my Allen wrench set so I could loosen the screw that allows, per the description, "360 degree rotation." To my surprise, none of my Allen wrenches fit in the screw. 1/8 was too big, 3/32 was too small. "Still not a big deal," I thought, "I can go to the store and get a different size Allen wrench."
Before going to the store, though, I thought I''d attach the cage to my bike, just to be sure there weren''t any other problems that would require tools I don''t have. I put the mount around my bike''s seat tube, tightened the screw on the clamp, flipped the tab down, and let go. The cage slid down to the derailleur. I tried it again, making sure I tightened it absolutely as much as possible. Same result. I tried it on my handle bars and down tube, without success. I could freely spin the whole thing around any tube I attached it to, no matter how much I tightened it. That''s not something I want when I''m riding around.
Even if I could live with the other problems I had with this cage, not securely attaching to my bicycle actually is a big deal. Too bad, the price was very reasonable.

Topeak CageMount Bicycle Water Bottle Cage Handlebar/Seatpost Mount
I purchased one of those, to go with the drink holder on my bike (2 parts). Works very well and is sturdy. I regret not having bought two of them: when I wanted a second one for longer trips, I bought one at a local retailer (the big stores from Arkansas..) and only in comparison to it (both about same price) the quality differences show: Topeak mount and separate drink holder are holding tight, while the other product tilts and spills my drink; the Topeak screws are also sturdy and can be tightened and opened many times, while the screws on the other product were irregular and stripped out the first time using it. In essence: this is a product I can highly recommend!

I used this to put a water bottle cage on the front fork of my son''s bike. Impressive little guy. Can really take a beating. Nice quality product. A little tricky to figure out how to install, but once you take it apart and realize how it works (sort of like how a hose clamp works, although the screw is safely inside) it only take a minute to install.Read Best Reviews of Topeak CageMount Bicycle Water Bottle Cage Handlebar/Seatpost Mount Here
You get what you pay for. Lasted a few rides then the plastic that holds the two parts together snapped. Not mountain bike worthy...probably OK for road biking.Want Topeak CageMount Bicycle Water Bottle Cage Handlebar/Seatpost Mount Discount?
This product is typical Topeak quality. Even the bike mechanic at the bike store commented that I put quality Topeak items on my bike. This mount will work in MANY areas of the bike -I have mine mounted on the middle of the handlebars. The two parts of the device will rotate 90 degrees, so you can put it about anyplace.I still haven''t quite figured out exactly how it works, but when tightened you can easily lift your bike by it -the mount will easily hold the entire bike''s weight.
The only drawback I can possibly think of is some of the steel band may stick out if your attachment point is thin, but you can cut it off if you like.
I have purchased several of these for my bikes and my kid''s bikes.
XLAB Turbo Wing Save 7% off
Like all of Xlab''s "Wing" products, this isn''t cheap but it does exactly what it sets out to do. You can position the wing at different angles and can also position the bottle cages at different angles.One thing to be aware of is that this won''t work with Xlab''s own P-Cages. The reason is because the P-Cage uses very thick plastic in the bolt area. The plastic is too thick for the bolts that come with the Turbo Wing to reach. Using other bolts may be possible but the Turbo Wing is very much designed to work in one specific way, so using other mounting hardware is a bit of a PITA.
That said, there are inexpensive bottle cages that are thinner in the mounting area that will work just fine. Xlab would like you to buy their $60 gorilla cages but there are others out there that will work, too.
I''ve got it set up with the inflation holder that they sell seperately. The Turbo Wing comes with a set of velcro straps that you can use to attach a bag. I''ve got two bottle cages, the inflation holder (2 CO2 cartridges and an inflator head) along with with Xlab mini bag. The mini bag can be strapped in to one side of the inflation holder when the CO2 cartridges are already on. It''s a tight fit but it will work. If you need to hold more stuff, you could strap the Xlab tire bag under the Turbo Wing.
Well, how about a better price for one? Paying 50 leaves for two pieces of metal and a couple of nuts and bolts seems ridiculous, but I suppose the same could be said for alot of things; just look at the price of diamonds or petrol. At least here, you''ve paid for innovation and artistic design. It holds strong to your saddle and can''t flex or bend over bumps (like profile design ones have been said to). Just buy yourself some p-cages or gorilla cages, and you should be sweet!I bought two of these for different bikes. The mounting hardware came loose on both, although they were tightened properly. They are constantly coming loose and falling off, which also leads to bottles ejecting. To make matters worse, small replacement parts are $10 $15! I''m ready for something else. I know I''m not alone with this problem.
XLC Cup Holder, Individual Silver Save 43% off
This is a well made metal cup holder for a bike (or, in my case, my Super Turbo 1000-Lithium Electric Scooter "BLUE"). It''s a pretty straight forward item. It attaches right to the handle bars and holds a cup firmly. There is an inner rubber liner that grips the cup to keep it from moving around or flying out. So, it definitely works great for cups. I specifically use it periodically to hold Jamba Juice cups and it works very well for this. Note that Jamba Juice cups are especially fragile.Ok, so all that said there is one downside. It doesn''t hold canned drinks or any type of cylindrical container. The container must be cone shaped and big enough to sit in the holder. So, don''t buy this if you are expecting it to hold a can.
One other small thing, I would have liked for it to fold down out of the way when not in use. It doesn''t fold down. For the price, I wouldn''t have expected that feature. It''s also well made, installs easily and works great for the cups that fit. Also, my handle bars have a number of straight spots. So, this cup holder may not work on the curved racing style handle bars.

Brita® Bottle Water Filtration System with 6 Filters (3pk) Save 39% off
I wanted to love this bottle, as it makes so much sense on so many levels, and for the most part, I like it a lot. It helps me get more water in me, by filling it and taking it around the house with me.However, the top leaks. No matter how tight I twist it on, when I raise it to my lips and squeeze the bottle to get the water out, it leaks and I often get big wet blobs on my shirt or sweater.
I can''t squeeze it too hard, so towards the end of the bottle it becomes difficult to get the water out.
Great concept maybe needs a little more work.

I purchased the set of 3 for myself. Amused when I rec''d a fourth bottle as a gift. (It was December, after all.) I love how the water tastes. I love how easy it is to change the filter. (Yes, I''ve done that already.) What I DO NOT LIKE is that the bottle is really, REALLY difficult to squeeze. Granted I have mild arthritis in my hands (30+ years at computer & piano keyboards!!) but I also have an aversion to "sucking out fluids" like an infant...so I always transfer liquids to a glass or cup. The Britta bottle is rugged and that''s good, but, I wish I didn''t have to wait 5-10 min to get all the water out. SO.....I''ll eventually buy a pitcher, I guess. Should''ve thought this through a little more. BTW, that little grey loop works perfectly!!! Soft and smushy -so it isn''t "in the way" like I thought it would be when not hanging from my backpack.Save 39% off
