Topeak Mount Kit for Road Morph Save 27% off

Topeak Mount Kit for Road MorphI gave this 5 stars even though I haven''t used it. Wanted to let you know that you don''t need to order this if you purchase the Morph G. I didn''t pay close attention and thought I had to purchase a mount kit when I bought the pump. The pump came with a mount kit (identical to this one).

My mistake, but I am ready in case the mount breaks 5 years from now. Pump works great, by the way.

And now I can switch my pump between my road bike and my hybrid. I mean, you can''t ride two bikes at the same time.

Easy to install. It took about 10 minutes. The price was right.

This is identical to the one that comes with the road morph to begin with. I lost mine and needed a replacement, and was glad this one was exactly the same since it works very well. Note that it does need to be screwed in and you might lose a water bottle spot by using this.

I broke the original mount and could not find a decent third party or jury-rig replacement. This is perfect keeps the pump secure and leaves room for my bottles on long rides.

Great American Toronto Maple Leafs 2-Pack Tankard Set

NHL Toronto Maple Leafs Two Piece 15-Ounce Glass Tankard Set- Primary LogoProduct was received well within the promised delivery dates and they were well packaged to protect the contents. The mugs (tankards) were heavy duty and of excellent quality, the type you would expect to find in a high end sports bar. The logos have withstood many cycles in the dishwasher and show no signs of fading or chipping. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with this product.

NFL Pittsburgh Steelers 72-Ounce Sport Jug

NFL Pittsburgh Steelers 72-Ounce Sport JugAround our house, "Bubba Kegs" get a lot of use -kids in sports and Dad takes to work. We have 3. THis one was a Christmas present for a Steelers fan in the house. Jealous friends! Just wish they didn''t cost so much. Keeps water and ice cold for a long time. For the record, the inside is not stainless. It is a plastic jug.

Pokemon Water Bottle - Pikachu Sipper Bottle #2

Pokemon Water Bottle - Pikachu Sipper Bottle #2This is a great water bottle for your Pokemon fan. Easy pop-up lid exposes the straw for drinking. The strap secured from both sides is removable with a push upwards from its pivot point. The inner straw is removable fro easy cleaning. It has been over 6 month since we purchased this product and the decals are still bright and no visible cracks in the plastic. I have machine washed on the top rack before but for the most part I hand wash. I only wish I could find more Pokemon.

Allen Company Aluminum Frame Pack with Pouch for Processing Tools Save 26% off

Allen Company Aluminum Frame Pack with Pouch for Processing ToolsI ordered this pack for my fiancee because he is going elk hunting in Colorado this month. He just loves the pack. It is comfortable, has a place for your ties, and has a little pouch. His friend who goes elk hunting every year said it is a really good pack.

This is a frame that is fairly light and still seems strong enough. I have loaded it with 40 pounds of gear and it still feels comfortable. I like the storage built into the lumbar pad. It can be used for field dressing tools, emergency rations, first aid supplies, etc.

Overall, a good pack frame for the price.

I bought this pack to carry my Lone wolf climbing stand, back pack and extra clothes. Seems to be well built, much more comfortable than the Lone Wolf straps!! The waist strap really helps distribute the weight. Handles the 50-60lbs no problem.

I bought this pack frame because my old pack frame was not holding up because of it''s age (Old and starting to Break) and it is Great!

Want Allen Company Aluminum Frame Pack with Pouch for Processing Tools Discount?

I bought this to pack out elk. I actually use this pack frame to pack in all my gear when backcountry hunting. It has five spots on each that you can run nylon webbing through & attach parachute buckles to. I take my military seabag and pack it with all my gear and lie it on top of my pack frame and cinch it down. I have a Badlands day pack I use while hunting and attach it on the backside of the seabag via the nylon webbing to add a little extra storage. I carried 60+lbs over 3 miles on my back, and it sat comfortably on my hips the whole way, and did not sway side to side. Overall, it is strong and comfortable.

Closure Cap (Pack of Two)

Platypus Closure CapPurchased a 2-pack of these caps for a couple platypus hydration systems I have laying around. The caps are good quality(like everything made by platypus) and fit perfectly. I have two minor complaints, however:

First, $6+ for a couple caps is kind of ridiculous. luckily, I found the same item at my local RE-eye yesterday for less than $3. Other selling options on Amazon.com have them for less, but with shipping added it''s more.

Second, the picture clearly shows a WHITE cap. The ones I got yesterday were CLEAR. Not a big deal because I actually like the clear better, but if you have your heart set on white you may be disappointed. Again, I got this at another retailer so Amazon.com may actually have white ones. The actual packaging I have for mine, however, shows a white cap when there are clear ones in the plastic. Just thought you should know! Jae

Outside of the price being a bit of a gouge, not Amazon''s fault, this item is a must have for those who use Platypus products. In particular, when filtering water out of an underground stream in Alaskan that was only accessible from the surface in a few locations, I let my buddies Platypus closure cap slip from my grasp and it instantly vanished in the small hole we were filtering water from. This particular individual I was with is one of my closest friends, but when he seen I was responsible for losing his only water bottle lid, and we had about 50 miles of foot travel left, the expression on his face left me a little concerned for my safety in the Alaskan outback. Fortunately for me, I had purchased a pack of caps, they come in packs of two, and was able to produce a replacement cap for his water bottle...Don''t be without these replacement caps if you journey very far of the beaten paths. I also dropped my Platypus bottle from a considerable height not many years ago, and it couldn''t have landed any squarer on a rock than it did. The full Platypus survived without injury but the cap was crack as a result of the impact. I was able to duck tap the cracked lid until I was able to get to my pack to retrieve the other spare I had. My gear now supports two new caps purchase from my favorite web site...Amazon. Very Respectfully, Earl Southard, Owner/Operator, Trailmaster Holsters.

Kelsyus Floating Cooler Save 30% off

Kelsyus Floating CoolerI was fairly set on getting a cooler for the pool. Nothing hurts your feet more than the hot pavers around the pool baking in the sun when you have to walk over to the garage fridge to grab another drink.

I purchased it based on the price and the 2 good reviews on Amazon.

Pros:

Easy to inflate

Made of fairly tough material

Cord to attach to yourself to keep your beer near you

Inflates Easily

Ice stayed cold/frozen for quite a while

Drinks fit snugly into the holders

Cons:

With ice, I barely got 6 bottles of beer in this cooler. I know the description mentions cans, but I haven''t drank beer from a can since college.

Overall, if you are buying this for personal use, pick one up, it is a very good little cooler. But if you are buying this so that friends dont have to get up and go to the fridge when they are swimming at your house, buy a few of them...they don''t hold nearly enough.

This cooler is amazing!!! I was looking for something like this for a real long time and the wait was worth it, just think about being inside a pool or the beach and you don''t have to get out to get your beverage (works incredible with beer bottles) or a refill. It holds up to 6 bottles or cups in the cupholdres, so there''s enough place for your and your buddies drinks. The cord is really useful to get it around your wrist so it won''t get carried away by the tide.

An awesome product for anyone who likes the outdoors fun in the water and the price is a bargain.

Cooler was better made than expected for the price. Also we were able to place about 10 beverages in the cooler with ice. The cooler floated down a 6 mile river raft ride (pretty mellow class 1) kept everything cold and came away with no damage.

The cooler is made to be portable with it''s built in case... takes a little sense to get the case to self store though. Once you have it assembled yes assembled, this cooler is the best. Very well made. Spacious. It has six cup holders built in around it. Get one of those automotive self extinguishing ashtrays and just pop it in a cup holder and you have a self contained floating bar. Cigarettes and cell phones fit in a zippered side pocket and are very safe from getting wet. This cooler just makes my sunburn a little more tolerable.... great product.

Want Kelsyus Floating Cooler Discount?

I use this with an above ground pool, and it works well. The waves don''t topple it, and the numbered container holders keep people from drinking the wrong beverage.

Even on super hot days, the cooler -if kept with ice -does a fine job of chilling the beverage.

Well worth the money!

2-Pack Lifefactory 16-Ounce Beverage Bottles

2-Pack Lifefactory 16-Ounce Beverage Bottles- Royal PurpleWe bought these for personal water bottles and they are very nice. The glass is good quality, not too heavy to carry and easy bottle shape to hold. The rubberized cover keeps drinks cool and is easy to hold without slipping from your hand. The colors are fun and attractive and the top cap,has a convenient carry handle. I would have given 5 stars except we are not fond of the bottle cap fittings. The threads don''t really line up well with the bottle and they almost want to cross thread when you close up the bottle. You have to close the bottle with a bit of care. I''ve noticed caps for sale separately and it makes me think that the cap flaw is common and the threads probably fatigue at some point. It''s a great bottle and we love them but the cap design is somewhat inconvenient. It''s a shame that a bit more forethought didn''t go into the caps. I would buy again and recommend them -just be advised that you will likely be replacing the caps. Special note: the small 8oz bottles have a much better cap design & they tighten down very easily. they are great!! Perfect for my nightstand water!!

I prefer to drink my water out of glass rather than plastic. This product is easy to clean and durable. I actually dropped in an airport parking lot. It bounced and showed no worse for the wear.

Timbuk2 Clipper Women''s Tote Bag

Timbuk2 Clipper Women''s Tote BagMy new favorite. The tote I received was all black with dark gray zipper and stitching (the photo shown when I placed my order appears to have gray trim around the exterior pocket). The handles are short which I prefer, because often times, with handles for over the shoulder use, the bag drags on the ground when held in hand. Detachable shoulder strap extends to wear cross-body. Double 2-way zipper pulls. There are two "straps" on each side I haven''t a clue yet what they''re for. A big enough bottle pocket on one end of the interior keeps your bottle upright. One large zip pocket along the inside wall and three smaller pockets on the other (one with key fob, one open and one flapped). iPhone in a case fits with no slack. The only thing I dislike is the abrasive pseudo-velcro used to secure the pocket flaps. Getting pricked on the needle-sharp hook-side is painful. The whole thing flattens for storage. It''s a great bag, but $80-85 is way overpriced for what it is.

I am sorry to report... am submitting a revised review after several months of ownership with occasional use: Reduced from 5 to 2 stars for lack of durability. Still overpriced for what it is. Still a favorite. Still the perfect size. Removed the needle-sharp hook & loop closure tape. The two-way zipper is now a one-way zipper when zipper head went off its track. On closer examination, the stitching on the end-stop was so loose, that it was only a matter of time it gave way. On my word, my tote was used on occasion, never stuffed to capacity, never held anything of serious weight, nor used in a rough manner or abused. It''s just not made very well. Fortunately I''m handy with needle and thread, understand sewing construction dynamics, and I can repair it.

Great style, nice tote bag if you can find it at half-price, that''s about all it''s worth. I really love this bag, just seriously disappointed with the shoddy craftsmanship.

I am in love with this bag. I walk to work and carry a lot of stuff with me. I was using just regular messenger style purses before and I would keep getting a sore back or neck. My mother-in-law told me about this bag and how much she loved it. It is very sturdy and distributes the weight in the back evenly so that it does not hurt your body and makes what you are carrying feel much lighter. It has a million pockets which is very useful. The only thing I am not happy with is the front pocket has a Velcro patch and it is uber loud when you open it. So be warned, if you are in a meeting or in class, it will be audible when you open it up. It holds a lot of things as well. Perfect when traveling to carry an ipad/kindle and all that stuff

I have the brown one and the colour is richer in person. It actually looks like a fairly classic brown purse which awesome. I requested the indi grey/yellow one for my birthday and they just added purple and a redish colour to the mix and I can''t wait to think of an occasion to buy one of those.

My favorite bag by far

Buy Timbuk2 Clipper Women''s Tote Bag Now

I love this bag! After having my second child, I wanted to find a bag that didn''t look like a diaper bag. This really fulfills everything I want in a bag.

It''s roomy. It has an outside pocket to drop my lip gloss and cell phone. There''s a large inside zipper pocket, along with other compartment pockets to put little snacks, hair ties, tissues, whatever you like, and a key fob. There''s an inside pocket to put your water bottle (or baby''s bottle) as well. I throw in my little zippered pouch that fits diapers and wipes. Plus, it''s a great color!

This bag is great for those who want a nice looking bag that doesn''t look like a kiddie diaper bag. The only con that I would say is that the front pocket is velcro, and can be really loud when you open it.

Otherwise, you''ll love this bag!

I received this bag for my birthday and I absolutely love it. It is the perfect size for ipad and a notebook or legal pad, extremely light weight which I also love. It is made well and I think it will last a long time.

Want Timbuk2 Clipper Women''s Tote Bag Discount?

I love this bag. I bought it to use as a purse and airplane carry-on. I would have rated the bag higher if it had a padded pocket for my iPad and it weren''t quite so floppy. It doesn''t have a base or any type of firmness in the bottom, so the bag just sort-of "wilts" when not in use. But I love the look and feel and size of the bag and would gladly buy another, should I decide I want an additional color. I''m really pleased with it.

Liberty Freedom Bottoms Up Water Bottle (Patriot)

Liberty Freedom Bottoms Up Water BottleI couldn''t find any water bottle made in the USA locally. I bought one of these a while back from REI. I was afraid this fine company was out of business. To my supprise, online search showed that not only they are in business but also there are many designs to choose from. If it matters to you, I was not born in this country. I am asian american. Please shop conscientously.

Tacx Tao Bottom Bottle Support

Tacx Tao Bottom Bottle SupportI have both aluminum and carbon water bottles by Tacx Tao and think they are great (hold bottle well and look pretty nice). What''s even better is that the bottom support (basically the only piece that could break) is replaceable. When the bottom of one of my cages broke, it was simple to get this piece and just replace it instead of having to buy a whole new cage.

CamelBak 0.4-Liter Kids Bottle

CamelBak 0.4-Liter Kids Bottle, BikesAfter trying so many bottles, some of which promised to be "dripless" but failed, we heard of the Camelbak and we LOVE IT.

It''s so easy to assemble, easy to clean (dishwasher safe!!!)and no matter hwo many times our kids would drop it and twist it it''s still spill-free and not a drop of liquid is to be found outside teh bottle. We''ve even discovered, by chance, that if you forget to insert the plastic straw after washing it, the bottle is still usable by simply tilting it up and drinking (like regular bottle), as long as you place the mouth-piece on top.

We recomend it to anyone!

I purchased this for my 9 month old son since he always tries to "steal" my grown-up size CamelBak bottle. I''m very surprised that he knows how to drink from it at his age, but he does! Much better than any sippy cup we''ve purchased. The only thing I have an issue with is cleaning the straw and the bite valve. It is top-rack dishwasher safe, however it seems to collect food and such during the cycle. I only put water in it, so I''ve just been soaking it in bleach & water to clean it. CamelBak makes a cleaning system for their other products so I''m hoping it will work on this as well.

Buy CamelBak 0.4-Liter Kids Bottle Now

I have the larger camelbak bottles but for my daughter going to kindergarten I thought a smaller one would be easier to lug around. The only problem we have is that this one has a button to push at the front to get the bite valve to pop up and its too hard for her to use, I just switched out the top from another bottle and its fine.

Read Best Reviews of CamelBak 0.4-Liter Kids Bottle Here

Great product. My 17 month old was always stealing my Camelbak, but I was afraid he would swallow the bite valve so I bought him this one and the stainless steal one. He loves them. The valve on this bottle is still a bite valve, but it does not come off the cap like the adult versions do--it is actually inserted through the cap from the bottom so he can chew all day on it and it won''t come out. My son won''t use other kinds of similar bottles because you have to tip them to use them. He used straw sippy cups so I wanted to find a straw water bottle for him. So far, this has been quite durable and we take it everywhere. Good, safe product. Other reviewers said they have trouble cleaning this bottle, cap, and valve. I am not sure why. The valve and straw are easily removed for cleaning.

Want CamelBak 0.4-Liter Kids Bottle Discount?

My kids loved these right off the bat. The 2 year old had no trouble drinking from it and he hasn''t bitten the bite valve clear off although apparently you can get replacement valves and straws from REI. They love to put their own ice and water in, and come running to do so or if they hear me doing it for them. I use the Munchkin Flexible Dishwasher Basket, Assorted to put the straws in the dishwasher and only use it for water so it doesn''t taste funny the next time. I also got the next size up since I have to refill this one if it''s a long day, but the designs aren''t as cute. It does not stay cold, though so I took one star away. I have a kleen canteen metal bottle that I use for myself and it acts as an ice pack in the cooler it stays so cold, whereas these turn ambient temperature very quickly. I did end up getting a new one in the metal version CamelBak 0.4-Liter Kids Stainless Steel Bottle and the outside of the bottle stays really cold which makes it a bit hard for little hands to hold.

Osprey Aqua Stow

Osprey Packs Aqua StowUsing with Mountainsmith Tour TLS lumbar pack. Works perfect. Easy access to a bottle of water. Now I feel I can carry enough water with this lumbar pack.

This product is just what I needed. After looking online regarding how this water bottle holder works/attached to a pack, it seemed to be just what I was looking for.

I have a Osprey Kestrel 68 and there was no way I could remove my Nalgene bottle from the webbed pockets without removing the pack, which is a hassle when you are on a short water break on a long hike. I guess Osprey must have realized this when they created the Aqua Stow.

As a bonus it works as a stand alone water bottle holder when on a day hike.

Does what it says: securely holds one round water bottle (of most sizes) in a convenient place to grab it. (I haven''t tried it, but I don''t think it will work with 1L military canteens or other non-round water containers unless they''re fairly small.) Need I really say more?

One warning: you have to watch the buckles very carefully. If you transport it buckled, when (not if) the buckle falls off the pack strap, you won''t lose it.

Info supplied with the product does not clarify how to use it in combo with a pack, so right now I''m disappointed with the purchase, but hoping I can figure out how to use it soon. There are several straps and clips, but the set up is definitely not self explanatory.

Liquid Logic Venture BPA Free Water Bottle (24-Ounce)

Liquid Logic Venture  BPA Free Water Bottle with Coordinated Web TeatherOne of my favorite everyday use water bottles! It''s handy, it washes well, very sturdy and keeps my water cold and close by! Great product for the price!!

This bottle is actually larger than advertised, at about 26 oz, The "Smoke" (gray) color has a slight Forrest green tint to it. No noticeable plastic smell or taste. It is somewhat scratch resistant, although it will definitely scratch if you rub it with something abrasive. Unlike other reviewers, I found the lid to be incredibly easy to open and close, and its wide-mouth opening is very convenient for adding ice, and cleaning.The cap and bottom have a layer of stainless steel covering them (they are still plastic on the inside), which I assume is mostly for looks, but will also help make the bottle more resistant to cracking if dropped. Overall, if you are looking for a PLASTIC bottle at low cost, this is a great option.

Caution: Like other PLASTIC bottles, this is NOT dishwasher or microwave safe. Do not wash with, transport, or store hot liquids in this bottle.

This sports bottle is attractive, and its capacity and tether are positive attributes. However, it is difficult to open the bottle--and one must open it to drink--especially while working out. Since I had purchased a pair for my husband and me to use while working out side-by-side, we were both disappointed with the product.

NOWHERE on this website (at least at the time I''m writing this) does it say anything about this bottle NOT being dishwasher safe.
