Platypus Reusable Water Tank Save 2% off

I was very happy with the Platypus water tank. We are a family of 4, and we just hiked through the Grand Canyon for 3 days. I threw a couple of these water tanks in my knapsack, and was able to keep each of our personal water bottles filled through the 110 degree heat. The large zip lock opening makes the water tanks easy to fill; the small threaded cap makes them easy to decant into smaller bottles. The zip lock demands attention to seal, but once sealed it never leaked even with a good deal of bumping around.

I recently used this on a three day Boy Scout outing. The 6 L capacity was very adequate to use for cooking for my five adult Scouters and myself. The zip lock, which has supposedly been improved, is still not fool proof. Only once was I able to get it zipped closed without having to crisscross the handles to keep it closed. I''d have given this product five stars if it wasn''t for the zip lock issue.

I bought the 6L storage tank as an addition to our 3L hydration bladders. It''s great for lugging water to camp and we use it as the "dirty" reservior with the gravity filter to fill both our hydration bladders in one go, or to filter extra water into the Platy bottles for hard hike days, friends and cooking. We''re planning to buy another 6L so we can have a large "clean bag" at camp as well.

I have always purchased the cheap water containers for camping, but I upgraded on my last trip and will never go back. Sturdy construction and seams.

The one gallon platypus bag is wonderful, I had a couple of them already and just had to have another!! super light weight and super compact when empty and great to take along on a dry hot hike so that when you do find water you can tank up.

Thermo-O Terra Double Walled Water Bottle Save $0.05 off

What a bummer that other person had to deal with. I had the complete opposite experience. The container doesn''t leak a drop. It''s perfect for hot LOOSE herbal tea as it has a built in steep to strain the leaves so that you don''t end up eating them. It''s double walled glass so you don''t even feel the heat coming through. It''s BPA freetotal bonus. And lastly, it looks SO GOOD! I love the design. So sorry to that other gal. I''m usually drinking out of Ball canning jars to avoid plastic but this is definitely an upgrade.

Make sure NOT to loose the rubber washer that goes in the lid, if it''s not in place it WILL leak. With the rubber washer, I can put it in my purse and not worry about getting my iPhone wetit''s THAT spill-proof.

Hope this helps someone try it~ I love it!

The brewer makes great tea, and looks great on a desk/table, but does have two flaws relating to the lid. The bamboo on my lid has begun cracking after a few weeks of use. Also, take care in threading the cap before flipping the bottle over. It is very easy to mis-thread the cap and have hot water leak out of the bottle.

GORGEOUS.

mine does not leak at all, and is so well designed.

But I put the lid in the dishwasher and the bamboo cracked. Hope I can keep someone else from making the same mistake.

I decided to upgrade from my jelly jar and splurge on this stylish looking tea bottle. It arrived in a timely manner and it''s as pretty as it looks in the pictures. However, no matter how I repositioned the rubber ring it leaked terribly. Even worse than my homely jelly jar! I emailed the manufacturer about this defective product and got a reply asking for the date and source of sale which I promptly sent them and NEVER HEARD FROM THEM AGAIN! Poor follow through on customer service. Perhaps it was just this one bottle that was defective but I won''t buy from them again. Save your $30 dollars and use a free jelly jar.

Well made, and gorgeous to look at. A friend had one, and when I saw it, I was sold. A thing of beauty, super functional; a really nice indulgence I wish I could buy them for all my friends! One caveat: the bamboo lid on was lighter than pictured. I''m thinking the color may enhance over time.

Camelbak Delaney Plus Hydration WaistPack with Podium Bottle

My problem with the pack is mostly with the buckle. For me its right on my hip bone and it seems to angle the buckle in a why that it has a poor grip and it easily gets loosen. I think if the buckle was recessed in to the mesh part of the pack it would fix the problem. With that issue I would jog with it, but wouldn''t use it for it for a more rugged situation.

Ill post the same review i put on Camelbak''s website:

By Frustrated from Central New Jersey on 11/24/2012

Your Rating: 1 stars

Headline: Need a belt for my belt

Pros : Water bottle

Cons : Belt

Best Uses : Collecting dust

I am about 5''10", 155lbs, and I cannot keep this belt on to save my life. I have used this about three times, have had nothing but problems, and I am done with it.

The first time I used it, the gel flask fell out about a mile into my run. There is no way to secure it, it just sits there (then it sits on the ground after it falls out). This belt is meant to be used when running, or other outdoor activity. It should be durable and rugged. The simple act of running should not be enough for the gel flask to fall out. Camelbak''s customer service was nice enough to ship me another gel flask free of charge, no questions asked.

I took it out again on a 10 mile run and fought the entire time with the belt trying to keep it on. The plastic clips (clasps?) do not grip the belt AT ALL. In fact, there aren''t even teeth for it to grip with. I dont know if this belt is defective or this is just the design of the belt, but it is useless. Without having my hands on the belt constantly, the belt will literally fall to the ground. This is no way to run.

Today was the last straw, I took it out for a 5 mile run, and had the same problem again. It doesn''t stay tight, it is constantly falling off. I ended up taking it off, leaving it on the ground and picking it back up on the way back. All this "belt" is, is a distraction. Do not recommend, would not buy again.

I hope Camelbak takes a look at this review and redesigns this product.

pocket was able to fit my phone, keys and a wallet. if you dont use the gel flask, leave it at home. the gel flask keeps falling out of its pocket if empty, so i just leave it at home.

Blackburn Camber CF Bottle Cage

A carbon cage is a little absurd when you think about it. Aluminum cages are light and durable and you can usually find them for less than $10. There are 4 reasons to get a carbon cage:

To shave a few grams off of the weight of your bike when replacing an aluminum cage

To complement your other carbon components

It''s the only carbon accessory that you can afford right now

It''s carbon and therefore it''s better

Bottles fit snugly in this cage and this is by far the best value that I have seen for a carbon one. The matte finish is nice and will complement a bike with a matte finish.

Update (2010/09/14): I''ve had two of these cages for almost a year now. Like most cages (even aluminum ones), they loosened up a little, but bottles still fit snugly. They will probably last for years.

This product is virtually pointless, but I found that the Blackburn Camber CF Carbon Fiber Cage is the least-expensive of a line of OVER priced carbon fiber bottle cages. If you are going to make this silly purchase like I did, buy this one.

Buy Blackburn Camber CF Bottle Cage Now

A great cage so far! I was always wary of buying a carbon fiber cage. Most of them look flimsy and I''m not sure of how well they would keep a bottle after hitting a big pothole, especially the seat tube setup. The ones that do claim to hold the bottles extra secure look like they are near impossible to reinsert the bottle easily on the fly, especially during a race when you have to be quick about it. This one, I''m happy to report, has proved to be not only classy looking, but very secure holding the bottle and a breeze to reinsert bottles into while on the bike. I really love the extra beefy bottom tab to hold the bottle. No little single tab here, but a nice, sturdy arcing tab. Blackburn has always been a name I can trust.

I''m not one to normally spend money on form over function but for some reason I''ve wanted a carbon fiber bottle cage since I got the CF bike 2 years ago. I''ve had excellent experiences with Blackburn in the past, both with the products and their customer service so they got the nod...and they were one of the cheapest CF name brand cages out there. If you are going to spend money on bling you don''t want it stamped Nashbar. The cage is well constructed, the bottle fits very well but still it isn''t difficult to remove and replace in the cage. Maybe not money well spent but well enjoyed.

These are very lightweight, look cool, and hold the bottle well. It is easy to put bottle in and pull out. I would prefer that the Blackburn logo was smaller but a minor quibble. Definitely expensive for minimal weight savings but for a high end road bike sometimes we make irrational purchases.

Weaver Clip-On Holsters w/Water Bottle Save 5% off

Okay so this is a simple little thing, right? ... a clip on water bottle holder. It is what it is, AND I don''t even ride horses (sorry, but I prefer a steering wheel or something with handlebars). So why write a review? ...because I love this thing!

My son is an active multi-sport athlete and I looked for over a year for a water bottle holder that would:

Hold multiple size bottles (including the tall 32oz Gatorade squeeze bottles)

Clip easily on and off of a dugout fence or D-rings on bags

Provide at least a little insulation

Check, check, and check! This simple little, well-made holder is exactly what I needed. The bottle is a cheap, but functional squeeze bottle (never use it in the donation pile), but the awkward Gatorade squeezers slide right in, as do large and small earth-killing disposable water bottles. I bet I have 5 or 6 other holsters and carriers and insulating wraps that are now collecting dust (and also headed for the donation pile) after getting this Weaver holder. I love that I can clip it on a bat bag to carry it to the field, then unclip it and clip it right on the fence or any convenient hanger. I can hang it off the seat bracket on my bike, my backpack, loops on my tent... I recommend this thing to sports folks, campers, hikers, bikers, students, and oh yeah--probably horseback riders, too! Weaver you should expand your marketing. The only complaint is that it is black and therefore draws and transfers a lot of heat to the bottle inside, but the black never looks dirty-it is wearing extremely well and I have no concerns about its durability.

Nirve Water Bottle Drink Caddy

The Nirve water bottle drink caddy works great. It is made with good quality materials. It was very easy to install. I put it on my handlebars right next to the connection. Some days I take longer rides and need to carry a drink. The drink is reachable while I''m riding. It holds the bottle enough to be able to unscrew the cap, drink, and replace the cap. The drink doesn''t rattle in the holder while riding. I am very pleased with the product; although, I thought it could''ve cost less. So for that reason it didn''t get a 5 star rating.
