Profile Design Aqualite drinking system for Aero handlebar Save 10% off
Supposedly using the aerodrink system in a front mounted fashion is the most aero way to store your drink during time trials. It was a bit of work to get it setup and I needed the extender brackets too which added a bit of complication, but it works well. Sitll a little hard to drink, and splashing is an issue unless you use the yellow spongy thingy, but with this system you never come out of your tuck, which is what it''s all about.With this system I find that I at least remember to drink some...whereas with a down-tube aero bottle, I rarely wanted to reach down because it was kind of precarious.

It took a while to get this where i needed it on bike. I find I drink more water witH this while ridinG. I did have to get a bracket to fit between the aero bars because my set up does not have them close enough.
Want Profile Design Aqualite drinking system for Aero handlebar Discount?
I agree with other reviews that this system makes it much easier and convenient to hydrate more during a ride. Keeping both hands on the bars while drinking is a real plus. My only issue is the minor leakage around the straw when liquid sloshes around in the bottle and early in the ride while the liquid level is high. With only water in the bottle it is really no problem, but with anything else it will create a sticky mess on your bike.Save 10% off

Sistema Twister Bottle Aqua
I was compelled to write this review after reading a previous review where someone wrote:"We bought these for our kids, and while they are very easy for them to use, they leak if left sideways (when closed). Although they are dishwasher safe, after 2 washings they have developed a funny smell and after-taste when filled with water."
The reason my wife arrived home yesterday (Purchased locally and not here on Amazon) with a third Sistema Twist''n Sip bottle is because we use them so often we wanted an extra one in rotation. We put them in the dish washer all the time and have not experienced any smells or after tastes, as described by the previous reviewer . As for the leaking, I am not sure why they had a problem, because we use these bottles all the time and they DON''T leak.
My daughter likes the open and close twist and seems to drink more water when I give her these bottles verses any other type.
I would certainly recommend giving these Sistema Twist ''n Sip bottles a try.

Angry Birds 24-Ounce Aluminum Water Bottle with Carabiner

Coleman 5-Gallon PVC Camp Shower Save 40% off
Because of reviews complaining of splitting and leaking, I bought two of these. I figured each one would work for a week and then be "retired". To my surprise I''m stilling using my first bag after well over 30 days of use. I generally don''t fill it with more then 3-4 gallons of water at a time which may be helping its longevity.We use this as a kitchen faucet while out in the woods and it works great. For people expecting piping hot showers from this it takes several hours of DIRECT sunlight with the bag perpendicular to the solar rays to truly get HOT. That means at noon the bag should be laying on the ground with a towel under it to help insulate it. In the morning and evenings it should be hung vertical, and the rest of the day it should be propped up at a 45 degree angle. Also don''t expect it to be any warmer then the outside temperature on cloudy or overcast days. I think some of the reviews regarding how poorly it heats the water are due to overly high expectations.
Best to go with another brand.

Most of these bags seem to be about the same except for the control valve. Some have valves up at the point where the hose leaves the bag; that''s not nearly as convenient as having the valve at the end of the nozzle, where you just pull/push to turn it on/off. This bag has that better type of valve.Save 40% off
Seychelle Pure Advanced Water Straw Filter and Purifier
I am only rating the performance of Interspective LLC and not the performance of the straw filter as I have not had an opportunity to use it yet. I ordered one of these in August 2012, via Amazon, and it arrived without the advanced filter inside it''s carrying container, so I sent it back. The product isn''t packaged from Seychelle in any kind of secure bubble pack which would hold the contents together to prevent loss of the advanced filter. The container holding the advanced filter is clipped to the filter cap, but the lid of the container is not secured with tape or glue. On this order, as on the first order, the two filters arrived loose in a box and the lids on both containers which supposedly held the advanced filters were open and the containers were empty. Good news; I contacted Seychelle direct, notified them of the problem, and they sent two advanced filters within a week, no charge. That is great customer service on their part, but I was not impressed with INTERSPECTIVE LLC, which sent the products to me via Amazon.

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.
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.
Buy New Wave Enviro Tinted Stainless Steel Water Bottle (0.6-Liter) Now
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.Want New Wave Enviro Tinted Stainless Steel Water Bottle (0.6-Liter) Discount?
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.

16oz Kanteen Pint Cup
I currently own several Klean Kanteen bottles of various sizes (with screw-caps) and have been completely satisfied with those stainless steel products. I love them and I carry one with me almost all the time. Wanting to avoid the use of plastic cups, and the potential hazard of broken glass, I purchased two 4-packs (a total of eight cups) of the Klean Kanteen Stainless Steel Pint Cups from Amazon.com. The boxed sets were delivered promptly and arrived in excellent condition.After receiving and opening my order, I used my glass Pyrex measuring cup and verified that the Klean Kanteen stainless steel pint cup did indeed hold 16-fluid ounces, right up to the rim. The size is good for adult hands to hold, but a smaller size for children might be warranted, depending on age and ability of the child. I definitely like the overall shape of the container and the quality of stainless steel. The surface finish on the inside and outside is nicely done. The etched logo, product number, and the noted capacity (in both English and metric units) on the outside bottom is a nice addition that probably won''t wear away, and it''s good to know the official capacity... information that is usually nonexistent on other drinkware. The gauge of the metal and heft is alright I guess, but I wouldn''t mind if it were a tad bit thicker metal with a little heavier feel. However, that''s just my personal preference and some people might actually prefer a lighter gauge metal.
My primary complaint with this product is that the top edge is a rim, or lip, which is curled outward and downward, not rolled tightly, and therefore not sealed underneath. This outward and downward flare tends to channel liquid unexpectedly along the outside of the container, or around your mouth possibly dribbling down your chin while drinking. So, using a bar napkin or coaster is advisable. Also, when placed inverted in the dish washer for cleaning, since that rim is not completely sealed, the curled lip catches dishwater and does not dry completely. However, if your dishwasher gets really hot in the drying mode, it might solve that problem by thoroughly evaporating the rinse water. Air drying the dishes definitely leaves water trapped inside the lip when the container is upside down, so after cleaning, you should shake any excess water out from inside the rolled rim before returning the pint cup to your storage cabinet or cupboard.
Perhaps Klean Kanteen will rectify this design flaw in the future. If they were to make that change, I would bump my appraisal to a full 5-star rating for this particular product.
Dominate 24 oz. Vacuum Insulated SS Bottle with Flip Top Lid Water Bottle by Under Armour
My wife almost killed me when I picked up this bottle but it was worth every penny. It keeps my drinks cold ALL DAY LONG! I have never had a bottle work this well. It''s been near 100 degrees for a solid week and I use it every day.Yesterday I filled it with ice halfway and fill it with water from the fridge all the way up and headed out fr the day. I Left the bottle in my bag until 3PM in the hot car, opened up and ice cold water was right there waiting for me. I was impressed and there was no condensation on the container. I drunk all of the water and there was ice still in the bottom. I left it on the counter overnight and the next morning and there was ice still in there when I went to refill it. I shook the container in front of my wife excited to finally justify my purchase, but that didn''t work out! LOL.
Either way the cup is the best to beat the summer heat. I''m getting another one for work as well.
The insulation is great. I take two bottles of cold water to work every day and it''s just as cold at the end of the day as the beginning.
The opening without the top on is plenty large enough for ice.
Per the Thermos website the plastic top is BPA free and the rest of the bottle obviously is because it''s stainless steel.
The only real negative, and this negative is really really small, is that I have to turn one of the caps an extra quarter turn to seal it. This means the top isn''t perfectly aligned with the front of the bottle. This won''t be a negative for anyone but the most anal retentive, as it doesn''t change the performace of the bottle at all. Still seals fine and no leaks. Thus, I didn''t even consider taking a star off for this.
Buy Dominate 24 oz. Vacuum Insulated SS Bottle with Flip Top Lid Water Bottle by Under Armour Now
This is a great water bottle. It keeps ice for at least 12 hours. I got it for christmas and so far it is my favorite bottle of all.I love this bottle!! I can leave it in the trunk of my hot car for hours, come back and it will still have ice in it. This is great for someone like me who only likes to drink COLD water. Since buying this I drink a lot more water. I own quite a few "green" water bottles and by far this is the best. This is the best water bottle I''ve ever had. Besides the incredible insulation (ice stays frozen for days), this water bottle is a great size and the flip-top lid makes getting water very convenient. As a college student, I just leave it in the mesh pocket on the side of my backpack everyday and find that I drink way more water than I did before. If you stop buying drinks with lunch and have water instead, it''s healthier and will pay for itself in 20 uses.
MSR Sweetwater Prefilter
good thing to have. the filter on the hose is a joke stock but this addition is deff worth it. only part i dont care for about it would be how the top snaps in to hold the screen down. still a great product and well worth having with a water filter. when you install the hose on the barb of this device be sure to pull it back to reset the face place back where it needs to be. i would recomend this to another and i would buy again. i took one star away because its abit costly for the size and complexity of what it is.
has the MSR simplicity of form and function.
Glacier DuKJug Premium Backcountry Stainless Steel Water Bottle
all in all this is a great bottle. my only issue is that the only reason i spent the extra money on a stainless bottle was so that i would be able to boil water with it in a pinch. You can''t tell from the picture, but this has plastic threads, so it won''t work for that. other than that it''s great though.UPDATE...It turns out that the threads are plastic for a reason. The expansion and contraction of steel as it heats up and cools down affects the seal with the cap. my Guyot bottle is waterproof with cold water but will begin to leak with hot water. the dukjug doesn''t have that problem. I upgraded my rating to 4 stars because of this.

Gaiam 750ml Aluminum Water Bottle (Lapis Medallion) Save 86% off
These are very nice looking bottles. But they have two problems.The first is the threading for the caps. It is a very fine thread which makes it hard to align the caps... the first time my wife tried to put the cap back on it got cross-threaded and didn''t sit properly. This probably won''t be a problem if you are using the bottles while sitting, but makes it difficult to put the cap on when moving.
The second problem is that being made of aluminum, they are a bit delicate. It makes them very light, but also makes them very susceptible to dents. A bottle got dropped from a few feet off the ground our first time out on a trail and put a pretty sizable dent in the side. There was only a inch or so of water left in the bottle and it wasn''t dropped from very high. If it were full of water the damage probably would have been even more.
To summarize, a very good looking and light bottle but not very rugged. Bottom line is they would make good bottles for the office or car but not in the outdoors.
#1 the cap doesn''t always thread correctly so it will go on crooked.
#2 the decoration wore off. I split a back of potato chips in my bag and the oil made the design come off. Where the oil didn''t touch it is still there.
What I do love about this bottle is the color, the opening is the perfect size for me and it fits in my bag.

Cool Pouch 319420 Cool Pooch Sport Bottle
I had this bottle for over 5 years and used it countless times on long hikes through desert and mountains. Well, actually my dogs used it since I carry my own separate water supply. My dogs seem unoffended by this selfish behavior. I have two 20 pound Jack Russel/Beagle canine hiking companions and they somehow can fit their muzzles simultaneously in the drinking cup. They love this bottle, so they would probably have reservations about sharing their bottle with me anyway. I was carrying the Cool Pooch Sport Bottle on the outside of my lumbar pack when I had a little fall coming down a steep mountain trail. I had fallen on this bottle a few times before, but this time I cracked it! So I''m buying another. Caution, although these bottles may serve as flotation devices (you would need several), they are not designed to cushion a fall. They hurt! You can get this bottle at the Cool Pooch website for a little less but it looks like you won''t have secure checkout there and their shipping fee is a little high. Either way, this little bottle will probably be your dog''s best friend....after you, of course.

Emergency Survival Kit in a Sardine Can (2 Pack) Save 29% off
Not a bad kit for the money and you get two! Buy several to store in different places. Fishing gear in an emergency kit always makes me laugh. Your first priority is protection from hypothermia/exposure either by clothing, shelter or fire. Second is rescue, being found, extraction, etc. I don''t think you''ll do much fishing while trying to keep warm at night, and while extracting yourself or being found the next day, as is what happens in most all emergency survival situations. Fishing gear belongs in an extended stay kit or on a planned fishing trip. I know we all think about crash landing in a remote part of the world and needing to eat something after a few weeks so we better have a fish hook just in case we are near a great fishing lake and the fish are biting... not likely. I''ll take a compass over a fish hook any day! Make a fish trap instead fish swim in and they can''t swim out. While the trap does its work you can prepare firewood or signal for help. Most people couldn''t catch a fish with the best pole and gear anyway, never mind just a hook and some line. PLEASE Help Me Spread The Message... NO FISH HOOKS! The life you save may be your own... learn to make a fish trap. Okay, I''ve done my part. Good luck!
The only downside is that once it''s open, that''s it. It can''t be re-sealed. So it feels like a waste to open it for one or two items (in my case, I needed the duct tape for a quick patch job on a tent and the matches since mine got soaked in water. Basically, once the can is open, your only option is to stuff everything into the contained plastic bag, of course this makes it no longer waterproof or crush-proof. But regardless, a handy survival can to take with you out in the wilderness.
