Camelbak Antidote Insulated Tube Save 16% off
this insulated tube works very well. iv used it on 2 and 3 hour bicycle rides in 85° -95°temps and it delivered cold and then very cool water during the ride. i filled it with 2 liters of refrigerated water and a half tray( about eight ice cubes) and when i returned home the ice cubes had melted and what little water left inside was still cool. after being out about fifteen minutes with sun light hitting the tube and mouth piece the tube was isulated well. unless youre costantly drawing water what is in the mouth piece warms up, first sip is warm but then the cold watet flows, not a big deal but if camelbak can insulate the mouth piece it may very well be perfect. at any rate i like it alot.

Eco Vessel Kids Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Twist Top (13 Oz)
I purchased the Eco Vessel Kids Stainless Steel Water Bottle for my nine year old son who has broken more than his fair share of water bottles. This bottle is light and extremely durable! The bottle has been put to the test, on and off the playground and does not leak!!! My sons lunch bag, which the bottle fits in, has come home dry everyday!I feel strongly about recommending the Eco Vessel Kids Water Bottle to anyone who requires an easy to use and indestructible kids water bottle!
Suggestion? Buy those bottles that aren''t painted-not cute but last longer.

This bottle leaks terribly. The top does not twist on securely, but will just continue turning and turning without getting tight. It made a mess in my daughter''s lunchbox. We can''t use it at all.Read Best Reviews of Eco Vessel Kids Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Twist Top (13 Oz) Here
I was looking forward to receiving three quality water bottles for my children''s lunchboxes. I was very, very disappointed when the paint started peeling off after one wash! The worst part is that the paint is peeling off at the mouth of the bottles, making it unsafe, should the paint somehow get in the water. And... even if it IS safe to consume... GROSS! I purchased three of these and it was a total waste of money. BUYER BEWARE the quality of these bottles is POOR at best!!!!Want Eco Vessel Kids Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Twist Top (13 Oz) Discount?
Very cute bottle in nice colors and extremely well priced. I like the top for kids because it locks close and has a protective cap to prevent spills.

I like this waterbottle because you can filter water for other things besides drinking (ie cooking, clean, etc.) The first filter broke after a few uses though. I am going to try again and hope I just got a bad filter the first time.Want McNett Aquamira Microbiological Replacement Filter Discount?
Timbuk2 Classic Messenger Bag
Pros:Simple, compact design
Good organization pockets
Weatherproof lining
Quick access pocket
Sewn in shoulder strap for good stability
Small size is great for 13" MacBook Pro
Cons:
Velcro closure
No grab strap
No laptop sleeve
I was looking for a bag to haul my MacBook Pro 13" and work papers to and from my work. I wanted something compact, light, and comfortable and in a fairly conservative color. The small Timbuk2 Classic fit the bill. I really like this bag, although there are a few additional features I wish it had. I tried out this bag as well as the Timbuk2 D-lux, Timbuk2 Commuter, and Patagonia Half Mass in a local store before deciding on the small Timbuk2 classic.
===========PROS===========
1. Design. Simple bag. Weather proof lining. Organization pockets on inside for your iPod, phone, keys, pens, etc. Has a quick release extension to ease getting it on, but I don''t find that I every need to use it with the small bag. adding it
2. Size. The small Timbuk2 is the perfect width for a MacBook Pro 13" and 8.5x11 inch papers without a lot of extra room on the sides for things to jostle around or get lost in the bottom. There isn''t much extra room after putting in a laptop and few textbooks, but I found that the weight of the full small bag is about as much as I would want to carry in a messenger bag that puts most of the weight on one shoulder. The medium sized bag seemed to be a big step up in size and was too bulky for me. For days when I need more room, like for workout clothes, I just bring a second bag rather than carry around extra room with me every day. (If you have large bulky, but relatively light, items to carry around then you may want the medium or large bag.)
3. Neapolitan Pocket. So handy to have a pocket you can access without opening the bag. Enough said.
4. Divider. A pleasant surprise here. I was disappointed that the divider was not suitable for my laptop (see below) and had considered cutting the darn thing out of the bag. However, now I find myself using it all the time! It is a great for storing papers/reports so they are both protected and easily accessible. Sit down on the subway...pull out a report. Super!
5. The Shoulder Strap. The strap sewn in along both sides of the bag and is not removable. Having the sturdy wide strap sewn gives the bag a lot of stability. Bags with straps that clip on, swivel and pivot at the point of attachment. This bag doesn''t wobble like that.
===========CONS===========
1. Velcro. The Timbuk2 bag has both clips and velcro for securing the flap. I hate the velcro. It is unnecessary because it already has clips, but worse it is noisy. I am reluctant to open the bag during a meeting because of the loud rIIIIpping sound it will create. There is no discrete way to open this bag. (Note: The velcro closure could be negated covering it with a velcro hook strip which I will do at some point.)
2. No grab strap. Other than the shoulder strap, there is no handle on the bag. I often find myself grabbing for a handle on the top of the bag which doesn''t exist. You can get a grab handle if you build a custom Timbuk2 bag on their website, but you pay twice as much for the bag.
3. No laptop sleeve. Although the bag has a built-in divider which fits the MacBook Pro perfectly, only the inside side is padded (see my video). There is no padding on the outside or bottom of the divider. This means that if you set down your bag hard on the floor, you run the risk of damaging your laptop. I just use my existing neoprene sleeve with my laptop. It is too bulky to fit into the divider, but is quite secure in the main compartment of the bag. (Note: the D-Lux version does have a padded laptop sleeve. See my discussion on other bags below for why it didn''t work for me)
===========Other bags I considered===========
Timbuk2 D-Lux: It has a padded laptop sleeve (although I wasn''t impressed by the padding at the bottom of the sleeve), but it doesn''t come in black which was a deal breaker for me. I also didn''t like the modular organization system which attaches via velcro to the inside of the bag; the pockets weren''t as securely attached to the bag which makes getting things in and out of the pockets more difficult.
Patagonia: What I really liked about this bag was that the padded laptop sleeve does not touch the bottom of the bag, the sleeve was a bit bulky and was oddly attached to the inside of the bag. Also the construction of the bag didn''t feel as solid.
Timbuk2 Commuter: A bigger bag than the small Timbuk2 Classic, but with more functionality. It has a cool laptop case that flips out to be TSA compliant (i.e. you don''t have to take the laptop out of the bag). It also has a grab handle (yeah!) and no velcro on the flap. It was 2nd on my list, but in the end I decided it was bigger than necessary for my daily commute. The laptop case is made to fit a 15" laptop although it my 13" didn''t move around too much. I didn''t like the detachable shoulder strap with swivel straps as much; I prefer the sewn in shoulder strap of the Timbuk2 Classic. However, this would be a great bag for airline travel as if gives a little more room than the Timbuk2 Classic and the TSA compliant laptop compartment. I may end up buying this as a second bag for traveling.
With that said, I do think it''s a slightly confusing bag! So many pockets and compartments, I may have to make some labels to attached to each so I remember where I put things! Also, I would like an outer pocket for a water bottle of some sort. But, since my bottle doesn''t leak, I can put it inside.
I am actually happy it does not come with a laptop compartment. The Timbuk2 Freestyle netbook bag could not even fit my netbook (which is slightly larger, at 11.6 inches) because of its precisely-measured compartment. This bag in a size Small does the trick and fits it perfectly, even with a sleeve I previously purchased on it.
As some reviewers have noted, there is no grab strap. However, just shorted the strap so it lays flat against the top of the bag, tuck the extra strap material into the bag, and there''s your shorter "grab" strap, should you need it.

This is my second Timbuk2 bag. I got the XS size first to just use it like a purse. I commute by bike to work about one day a week and the XS bag just wasn''t big enough for a change of clothes and my lunch, etc. I debated getting a Large one but am so glad I went with Medium. It''s huge! I''m only 5''1" so it looks a little ridiculous on me but I can ride my bike fine with it full of stuff. I think I will also use it as my luggage for trips occasionally. I got it in Silver/Lime-Aide/Lime-Aide color which is great for visibility on my bike (I don''t trust the drivers in NM too much so I try to be as visible as possible). Timbuk2 bags are certainly expensive but worth it I think. They are quality bags and will last forever. I was also glad to find them on Amazon for much cheaper than the Timbuk2 website.Read Best Reviews of Timbuk2 Classic Messenger Bag Here
I just wanted to mention about the particular size of the bag I bought (small) since it was the hardest part for me when I was buying..To begin with, I already have a huge messenger bag from another SF based company. And I still like the bag very much, yet it''s a little uncomfortable at times, or looks silly when I have a notebook and a pen in a bag that can handle at least two 12 packs. For that reason, I eventually stop wearing it on a daily basis, and started using my backpack instead. But I really wanted my messenger bag back.. as it''s so much more convenient and looks better IMO, esp. when you commute on bike.
So I decided to buy a small messenger bag, but Timbuk2 instead this time. The biggest selling point for me was how it had many small inner organizers/pockets, as well as its divider where you can separate your notepads, books, or small laptops (they are very practical for a college student like me). Also, I picked small because x-small looked a little TOO small and medium looked fine but knew I didn''t really NEED that much space when I commute everyday cause I prefer to travel light.
Here''s list of things I carry usually: textbook(s), notepads, bunch of pens, a mini stapler, an eyedrop, a 10" netbook or a 13" mbp, and a fleece jacket. (plus couple more small stuff). Well they all fit perfectly without trying and my back really appreciates the load and the way it sits securely on my back. If I don''t put in my jacket, then I can stuff in a lot more; I just choose not to. You can also strap your jacket using the secure straps. I usually commute by bike or skateboard, and the bag always sits tight on my back. VERY comfortable if you know how to wear it properly. There''s also a loop on the bottom front of the bag where I put a blinker on for night riding..
There''s tons of favorable reviews on Timbuk2 products. I just wanted to let you know that small can be adequate enough for daily use, and feels a lot better than having a loaded big thing on the back. It also helps you to limit the things so you don''t carry unnecessary things. My first Timbuk2, def. not my last one.

I just got this messenger bag in a size medium and am absolutely obsessed with it. I wanted a new bag for school and since my university involves walking around the city and taking the subway, I needed something that could carry a lot of stuff but still looks cool and allows me access my things easily on-the-go.Sizing:
I was afraid that a medium would be too big but I''m 5'' 4" and medium looks fine on me. If you are concerned about accidentally ordering a huge bag and want to look at pictures of people with different Timbuk2 bags and sizes check this site out: . It was really helpful with my decision. I think that medium is the perfect size honestly and it has enough pockets to carry all those little things you didn''t know where to put before. I can fit my laptop, a couple folders, 2 large science textbooks, gym clothes, a water bottle, pens, highlighters, ear plugs, band aids, ibuprofen, lotion, wallet, keys, all my computers cords, and a calculator. (not gonna lie though, it''s heavy with those damn textbooks)
Laptop sleeve:
I have a 13" macbook and was actually glad I didn''t spend the extra money on the "love glove." It''s probably really nice but I already have a padded sleeve for my laptop and with it on, my computer fits really nicely in that slot.
Pockets:
There is a pocket for everything. Seriously. There are pockets in the front, including the Napoleon pocket which is really nifty. And then the pockets on the inside. AND THEN there is a zippered pocket that has more pockets inside (behind the former inside pockets).
Price:
Since I''m a college student, this seemed like a lot of money to dish out for a bag but there are AMAZING deals on Amazon. I bought mine from Amazon Warehouse Deals for only $43.99... Yeah, it''s used but as long as you find one that says "like new" it actually looks like new. I can still smell warehouse on it. But, if you aren''t happy, you can always return it with Amazon''s awesome return policy. So no worries.
Overall this bag is amazing and if you are looking for a durable bag for school, work, beer, babies, what have you, this is the bag for you.
Platypus Platy Sport Collapsible Water Bottle
I bought my first one maybe 6 years ago, back when they had lifetime guarantees. I''ve never tried to return them after they break because they were cheap enough that their cost didn''t justify the time expense necessary to go through with the process. I''ve used mine for the gym and work. I''ve since gone through 3 more (including one of the 500ml ones) and noticed that they don''t have lifetime guarantees anymore! I would say they last about 1-2 years. Not bad for seven bucks. Even in the heat, the water is as tasteless as a Nalgene bottle (which would be the less convenient more durable competitor). However, the light weight and malleability let it fold into your bag MUCH easier, which is why I keep coming back. When it breaks, it will be by the spout it will just leak one day where the hard plastic meets the bag...hopefully not on anything important (don''t get too comfortable sticking it in your laptop bag).
I have had one of these for about 10 or plus years. I have used it heavily. It is worn out now, and I am ready for another one.
Travel tip:
If you are cold at the hotel you can fill it with hot water for your bed. Just wrap a towel around it if it is too hot.
This thing is sweet.

This is certainly a cool and attention-getting water bottle. Be aware that the two-liter size is very large and probably too big for every day use. Because it is not rigid, you need two hands to drink from it (or spill it all over yourself.) Can be frozen.Read Best Reviews of Platypus Platy Sport Collapsible Water Bottle Here
There are only two cons that I have found. 1) It is pretty much impossible to clean in any fashion other than putting soap & water in it and shaking it. 2) The bottom plastic kind of crimps up weird when trying to collapse it down if you''re not paying attention, and I think that eventually it''ll break, but it''s held up so far. I''ve been using it for about a month now.It''s definitely a conversation piece; I''ve gotten several compliments/questions at my gym (most common comment is that it looks like an IV bag). It''s very useful and I like how small it is. Water isn''t dis-flavored because of it (like Nalgene bottles). It''s relatively easy to use once you get used to it. If you wanted to use if for anything other than the gym, I''d highly recommend one of the bigger ones, as .5L is not a lot.
Overall, it''s useful, it''s cheap, it works, it''s unique, and that''s about it. What more could you ask?

I read about these water bottles in an article that recommended them because they do not leech plasticizers into the water if reused or if you store water in them. I have since fallen in love with this water bottle. the 0.5L size is perfect I have a 1.0L bottle and it is too large and cumbersome for me. Easily refillable, and I have never had to wash the "bottle" portion because the water starts to taste bad (as in a Nalgene bottle).My only complaint would be that I have squirted myself in the face a couple of times when I first was learning to use it. And the top is a little bit hard to close because you don''t have the rigidity in the bottle as you would with a solid bottle. But overall, I love it. I''ve actually come back to buy a couple more so cheap and they are really durable. A great bargain.

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.Read Best Reviews of Liquid Logic Venture BPA Free Water Bottle (24-Ounce) Here
NOWHERE on this website (at least at the time I''m writing this) does it say anything about this bottle NOT being dishwasher safe.
