Reliance Products Solar-Spray 5 Gallon Portable Shower Save 20% off

This piece is adequate. For me, at least, it doesn''t heat up as quickly as advertised. Also not much pressure but that is to be expected. It will serve its purpose though.

Ive already gotten alot of use taking this shower on visits to beaches that dont have public showers. No problem at all with this providing hot water at a sunny beach. Great for rinsing sand and salt off after a dip in the ocean. As stated in the other review, water pressure is low so I use it with the hose only ,ie, shower head detached.

These are by far superior to the bag type water warmers, much tougher and last way longer. I call them "water warmers" because I made my own shower and only use these to warm the water with, weather permitting, otherwise I additionaly heat to a prefered temperature. my gf is picky. I tested and found the water is actually a few degrees warmer with these containers than the other type of solar shower. Do not store these in your vehicle full of water! Fill them once at camp and you''ll be fine. It takes about 6 hours of direct sunlight to raise the water temp by approximatly 20 degrees above ambient temperature. They claim less but don''t buy that unless your in the 80''s or 90''s. A cool winter day with less day light about 15 degrees more than ambient temp. I gave this product only 3 stars because they all leak and I would pay a few bucks more for something that didn''t.

I could not fill it to capacity and then hoist it up into the tree I was using, but then again i am not the stongest girl in the world, and was trying to do it alone. Once I emptied out some of the water, it was easier to lift. Not perfect, but effective.

You fill the malleable (collapsable), squarely shaped reservoir with water and leave it in the sun to heat up. I left mine in the sun for several hours, a bit longer than the directions indicated, and it finally produced lukewarm water.

You hang the reservoir from a tree or whatnot, and stand under it. Then you turn the nozzle and let water shower over you. The nozzle is cheap, and it''s sure to leak. This is okay if you fill it and use it immediately, because technically, it''s supposed to leak--all over your body. But my needs were to keep the water bag in my van for a time before taking my shower, and the water constantly dripped out.

The company sends you a rope and hook with which to hang the bag. Ug. The S-hook should have come with a ring to tie the rope to. It didn''t, so the rope is always slipping off. It''s a stiff rope, almost impossible to tie to the S-ring.

This is a poor product, but a product that will work if you use it seldomly. I think that, if you use it often, you will quickly grow annoyed.

McNett ReviveX Spray-On

From jackets to backpacks, this stuff works pretty well. I don''t have any complaints because I knew what I was paying for when I got it. This is not meant to be a one-time, spray and forget product. Make sure you have washed the item you''re going to spray, or at least get it sopping wet, then spray liberally onto item, throw it in the dryer and let the heat do the rest. Let it sit a day or two if you can. In my experience, it seems to increase the effectiveness. No big deal if you can''t, certainly don''t have to. For $12, this''ll get you through one hard season. Very easy to apply. If you can curl your finger, you can use this stuff. Don''t be afraid to over-apply, there''s no such thing. Every time I''ve used it, I have not been disappointed. Haven''t got wet yet!

So this stuff does work and it makes your jacket look great. The fabric seems to laydown and form a nice even surface and looks like it would when it was "newer". I did notice after wearing it everyday for a couple of weeks, that it started to return to it''s "older" look where the surface was very soft and looking a bit worn. The "beading" properties were reduced even though it only rained a couple of times on the jacket (The North Face, Mountain Jacket), walking from my office to my car (about 150 yards). It didn''t take long for the water to soak through the outer layer, stopping at the gore tex lining, it began to feel clammy again. It already seems as if I need to retreat it. I''ll write back to update after the next down pour.

I would get it again though, as it does return it somewhat to it''s original water repellancy. This bottle, looks like it can do two jackets once.

I got this to spruce up an old Gore-Tex jacket I have that is probably 20 years old. I had already washed and dried the jacket, so when I went to use the ReviveX, I had to get it wet again, so I ran it through the rinse cycle once more. Application was a little tedious, and I used my other hand to sort of wipe the stuff into the fabric better. Then, as weird as it felt, I followed the directions and tumbled the jacket in the dryer for 60 minutes. I didn''t put it on high, because my drier gets so hot it melts things. The low setting still gets very warm, and when I checked on the jacket, it was hot to the touch, so I think it was warm enough.

I haven''t tried it in a true downpour, but just wearing the jacket around town in the rain, the water beaded up very nicely. The color also actually looks more vibrant, too.

I think most of the Gore-Tex has worn off the inside of this jacket, so I don''t think it will do quite as well in an extended downpour. Plus, all the seam tape had come off and I didn''t want to pay lots of money to have it re-taped. So, I used some McNett Seam Sure on the inside of all the seams and let this thoroughly dry. I did this before I treated it with the ReviveX. (It looks a little ugly where the seam sealer leaked through the fabric on either side of the seams, so if you choose to do this, try and only paint where the original seam tape was.) But this jacket is just for doing yardwork in the rain, so it''s okay if it is a bit ghetto.

ReviveX costs a bit more than most silicone sprays, but is supposed to be the best thing to use on Gore-Tex because it won''t interfere with breathe-ability. If you''ve got a genuine Gore-Tex or similar article of whatever, pay a few extra dollars for the good quality waterproofing, like ReviveX. Don''t get the cheap silicone stuff which can clog the Gore-Tex. You''ll be glad you went the extra mile when your stuff is like new again.

I applied this to my aging rain shell several weeks ago using the instructions on the bottle. After removing it from the dryer, I ran the faucet over the jacket for about 30 seconds and the water shed right off.

When I take it out in the rain, water beads up and sheds for the first few minutes but the jacket thereafter begins to soak. However, I suspect that this is due to fact that I used Woolite while washing the jacket as this happens every time I enter the rain after the jacket dries (i.e., it repels water at first and then absorbs). Just before I applied the ReviveX, water was no longer beading up so I think it is safe to assume that the jacket has retained whatever the ReviveX added despite being rubbed on the shoulders and neck by my backpack.

I intend to test this on another jacket that has been washed properly to see whether the spray or I am at fault for the jacket leaking.

I used this product to waterproof some old synthetic/gortex jackets that had lost their waterproof ability. It worked great and I recommend it.

New Wave Enviro Tinted Stainless Steel Water Bottle (0.6-Liter) Save 33% off

I loved this water bottle when I first got it and I used it all the time. I was able to put it in my bag and I never worried about it leaking. However, after just three months of constant use, the bottle began to fall apart. The blue paint began to wear away, the cap no longer screws on (the stainless steel wore away a lot of the plastic), and the clip on the top of the bottle broke. If you need a leak-proof bottle that holds up with constant use, this is not the one for you.

I bought three of these bottles because they were inexpensive and looked cool, and it seemed like a good idea to stop using the disposable plastic water bottles.

But they seem cheap. The bright colored paint started to peel off after a couple weeks. I did not get a response from the company when I emailed a request for information about lead in the paint.

After a few hours in the bottle, the water started to have a metallic taste.

But they did get me accustomed to the idea of carrying around my own water bottle, so I did a little more research and bought the more expensive ones by Sigg. The Sigg aluminum bottles have a flexible ceramic coating on the inside, so there is no metallic taste, even after several days.

So, while the Enviro bottles are cheap and seem okay for limited use, I highly recommend spending a bit more and buying the much better quality Sigg bottle.

I recently purchased this bottle at a local health food store to replace my heavy glass bottles that I use for drinking water. Three negatives I''ve found with this bottle:

1) I''ve heard that stainless steel is as light as plastic but I haven''t found this to be the case. Stainless is safer than glass where breakage is concerned but not lighter when filled with liquid.

2) The cap on the bottle is made of plastic and the inside threads of the bottle are stainless. Needless to say, they don''t fit well together and so it leaks.

3) The cap has a carabiner attached which makes it awkward to turn. It would be much easier if the carabiner and ring were attached to the bottle rather than the cap.

Although stainless steel is an excellent alternative to plastic and safer than glass, I''m going to return this bottle and look for a different design.

I love this one-piece bottle, especially for camping. It is durable, holds more fluid than many other bottles and it comes in several colors so each camper can have their own color and not have to write names. The only way I''d want to improve on the bottle is to have a clip attached to it so you could carry it more easily. It is water tight and can fit in packs very well. The first few times using this be prepared for a very matallic taste but that does disappear.

I was very excited the first few weeks I had these bottles. They are relatively small, don''t really leak and the lid is attached. In short, they are pretty much perfect for a kids lunch box, diaper bag, back pack, day bag.. whatever.

The shortcommings are in the plastic neck. Over time they will develop stress cracks. For me, this was after about a month. When this occurs, you must be extremely careful when tightening the lid or it will simply snap off. The first one to break was actually done by my 7 yr old, and my natural response was "how did you do that?", and of course assuming mis-use. Eventually I broke one with minimal force without even realizing it had cracks. After breaking the second, I discovered the cracks and found them present in all of the bottles. Color doesn''t make a difference.

I have 3 boys, and wishing to have clean ones for lunches, I bought 14 hoping it was enough to make it through between washing cycles. It''s been 2.5 months and only 2 remain.

I''m writing the review now as I''m back looking for something else and the search brought up these again. I felt compelled to comment about my experiences and frustrations with these bottles.

Problem Solvers SpaceOuts 3mm H2O Bottle Cage Spacer Kit (Black)

I ordered a set of these because the rear water bottle cage was in the way of the chainring shifter when I tried to bring it all the way in to the smallest ring. I thought they were too short to solve the problem when I opened the box, but they work perfectly, at least on my bike. The cage now offers more than enough clearance.

Crocodile Creek 13.5 oz 13.5 oz Stainless Steel Reusable Drinking Bottle

My kids love these bottles. Why? Because of the vibrant color designs and interesting themes (dinosaurs, planets; jungle animals, trucks, etc.)

As a mom, I love them for the same reason, but also because the core of the bottle is made of stainless steel, a much more durable and safer alternative to plastic. They also keep cold beverages insulated better than plastic. They are also just the right size to fit into a convetional lunchbox.

BUT, I have complaints.

1) The exterior design, made of some type of laminate, peels off the bottle after just a short amount of routine wear and hand washing. I have the bottles for just about a month now, and they are all peeling in the same spot: bottom seam.

2) Not dishwasher safe. Need I say more.

3) The drinking spout is loose and if not shut all the way, it will leak. So I place the bottles in a ziploc freezer bag before packing them in a lunchbox.

4) The metal will react to certain acidic drinks... like apple juice. After about 6 hours in the bottle, the juice had a vinegary taste.

For ten bucks, this should be a better product. But looks alone, it would win a beauty contest.

kids love them and can work the bottles without adult help however they strach up easily.

My daughter loved drinking from this bottle, but only a few days after we purchased it, she dropped it and the top part broke. It could be made better.

I got this for my son a while back, but didn''t post a review. He had been taking this to school for several days before I, quite by chance, took a swig of water from it. The water tasted oddlike a metallic taste. There were no stains, rust, etc. I cleaned it regularly, and tried again after a thorough cleaningsame taste when the water stays in the bottle for a few hours. Needless to say, my son isn''t using it anymore. I was looking for something else when this popped up, and I thought of writing this late review. HTH!

The bottle is fine, cap fits well and is just the right size and easy to clean.

The sipper is terrible. It feels like you''re drinking from a bubbly and uncomfortable cheap sport bottle.

We love this water bottle. I originally bought this for school, but my kid loves using it for water at home too! I''ve been handwashing the bottle, so thus far, the paint hasn''t peeled off.

It gets the job done, but the spout was a little small. My son is ok with this bottle, but he likes another brand better. But overall, it works well and he uses it when his favorite bottle is dirty. Yes, I would buy it again.

theses are great you need to be careful to click the lid shut tightly. It''s only downfall is you keep losing the white rubber seal for the lid after that it leaks. You can get replacement by calling rubbermaid on 888-895-2110 but it would be easier if they sold them in packs on amazon

Most the time I''m very happy with amazon''s quick delivery and receiving what I ordered. With these rubber made bottles I ordered three of the one in the description. Two weeks later I received three different bottles. Not cool! However the spout is the same as the original bottle I ordered that is why I kept them. The bottle I received feel like some kind of hard plastic and I''m afraid if dropped they may crack. Since I use these to work out in a gym and I haven''t had a problem dropping bottles, I decided to keep the bottles that were shipped instead of sending them back and requesting the bottles I ordered. I didn''t give these bottle a better rating not based on the quality of the bottle, but on the fact that different bottles were shipped without a explanation or even asking if I would consider a replacement.

This bottle solved a problem for me. I like to re-use drink bottles, and I like to add ice. Since sport bottles went to smaller mouths, that became difficult. This bottle makes it easy with its wide mouth. Both the screw on seal and the pop-top one are excellent, making it a secure container as well. A couple would be even better ifs: I''d like an insulated sleeve for it, and I wish there was a shorter, slightly smaller one available to more easily fit in a lunch box. Still, a great bottle.

I gave this item 2 stars because I ordered 5 of these bottles to match the two I already had.

The product came and is different then pictured. I received a clear bottle

with a greenish blue top. Very annoying. Other than that I love the bottle itself.

The picture of the product does not match what I received. Instead I received a "Stain Resistant Premium Chug Bottle", blue bottle with black cap. This is the same model as in Rubbermaid Refill, Reuse 20-Ounce Chug Bottle, Pack of 4. (I have provided a picture of the bottle I received.) I think the flip cap is clunkier than the older models. There is no rubber gasket ring inside the lid. The rubber carrying loop can be removed. The bottle is hard plastic like the older models, which I like. About 1/3 of the way down the bottle are two ridges that allow for gripping. The bottle is slightly elliptical at this point as well. Older versions of the bottle had textured sides to help grip the bottle. This model does not.

Bling Water Bottle

I love all things pink and shiny and this blingy light-weight steel water bottle fits my requirements entirely!

I keep it on my night stand so I can take my thyroid pill at night on an empty stomach after getting up to use the bathroom.

I love the fact that it is metal so it won''t break if I should drop it in my sleepiness. Also, having a secure lid keeps the water fresh and the cat hairs out. A press of the thumb flips the lid up and the sippy straw accessible.

It''s just what I wanted it to be!

I have bling everything, calculator, cell phone cover, shoes, license plate frame, etc. All my other "bling" is hand glued real swarovski crystals done by a professional (and I pay huge bucks for it). I reluctantly ordered this water bottle worried it wouldn''t meet my "high standards" and the expectations my colleagues have for my expensive bling taste. All I can say is, "Wow"! I just saved myself $100 by not having my professional hand glue swarovski crystals on a water bottle that I would have searched for. I love, love, love it! It''s so cute and fits perfectly with all my bling. So fun!

Buy Bling Water Bottle Now

Very girly and cute! Easy open flip lid, rectangle shaped mouth piece with curved edges, GREAT little u-shaped notch to easily hold the bottle with one finger. Hand wash only. Side note the bling at the top is nothing more than a clear sticker with pre-assembled jewels simply stuck on the bottle. I''m willing to bet you could find something to this at your local craft store and "bling" your own mugs/cups yourself. The strip of jewels is in a recessed area on the bottle so they do look like they belong there!
