Speedfil Standard Aero Bottle (40oz) Save 13% off

I''m not sure what the previous reviewer was looking for, the seat post mounting kit is sold separately. The zip ties are for the tubing, not for mounting the product on the bike. I received everything in the picture and the installation was really easy. Word of caution, measure the length of your tube, then add a couple inches, you can always cut it shorter after you ride with it a couple times. My only frustration with this product is how difficult it is to remove the bottle, but on the other hand, you are sure that it is securely in place and won''t come out when you are riding. I bought this because I don''t like fiddling with bottles while I''m riding and don''t like to wait for lights to hydrate. I have a Fuji CCR1 XS frame and this fits with room to spare. Oh and another word of caution, don''t mix powders in the bottle. Premix them and then pour them in. Mixing them in the bottle can lead to clogs in the tubing if the powder isn''t completely dissolved before you head out for your ride. (The tube pulls from the bottom of the bottle where the powder settles.) Love this product!!!!

UPDATE: May 29, 2012

Still love this product but have encountered one issue. It''s a pain to remove the bottle. There has to be a better way to design this part of the product. If you you leave fluids in the bottle for any period of time, expect to see mold. I know, this is not a revelation, it happens with all bottles. I left some Hammer product in it and forgot about it. A week later it was awfully nasty. I bought a box of those tabs for cleaning dentures, and dropped about 12 in the bottle full of water. I let it soak over night and it was perfect the next morning. (Be sure to really rinse the bottle after the denture tabs though.) If the bottle wasn''t such a pain to remove, I would never have left the Hammer in there and never would have had the issue with mold. I wouldn''t go back to regular bottles though, this is still my favorite hydration system for my bike. :)

Not sure why the other buy had issue, in my case all parts were received. The seat tube adapter is a separate component you must purchase if needed, ie no holes on the downbar.

When you look at the directions regarding installation, one thinks that the product has been tampered with or parts have been replaced with cheaper substitutes and the price difference pocketed. Completely missing from the package is the seat post bracket and rubber grommet, and the rubber spline and bumper. In addition, the velcro strips have been replaced with cheap zip ties. This may not be much of a problem if your bike has mounting screws on the down tube. However, on many aero/TT/Tri bikes the assumed target for this product the only bottle cage screws available are on the seat post tube and not the down tube. Which means you may have just dropped $100 for this hydration system, and have to purchase and ship additional hardware to get this mounted with any semblence of stability. Really not thrilled about ruining the finish on a TT/tri bike, some of which cost as much as a motorcycle, with plastic zip ties.

For $100, one would expect a bit more attention to detail. The basic design itself is certainly reasonable, but the missing/substitute parts demonstrate poor execution.

Hydro Flask Insulated Wide Mouth Stainless Steel Drinking Bottle

Hydro Flask 40-Ounce Insulated Wide Mouth Stainless Steel Drinking Bottle

I already have a smaller Hydro Flask bottle, and it''s excellent. But I wanted something that held at least a quart, as 24 ounces just isn''t enough on a hot day. I was concerned that this bottle would be too heavy to lug around, seeing as it''s made of two layers of steel. It''s actually quite light for its size, even full. It''s sturdy and attractive, and I like that the lid is attached. I would have preferred a lid I could drink from, like a sippy cup, but that probably would have reduced it''s thermal function.

My other concern was the price; it''s not cheap. But then I remembered all the water bottles I''ve accumulated over the years, (I have Contigo AUTOSEAL Water Bottle 32 oz. Blue, Contigo AUTOSEAL Stainless Steel Water Bottle 28 oz. Silver, and Contigo AUTOSEAL Kangaroo Water Bottle with Storage Compartment 24 oz. Blue, plus various ones I''ve picked up in stores, some of which leaked, all of them sweated and soaked everything they came in contact with. This does NOT leak and it does NOT sweat!I am glad I splurged, and I think I''m ready to get rid of my collection of water bottles.

Hydro Flask keeps cold drinks very cold, even after being left in a closed car under direct sun for hours. I haven''t tried coffee in it yet, but I have no doubt it will keep it hot equally well.

All in all, very pleased with this purchase.

I have to pass this one on, because I tried it and it does EXACTLY what it claims to do.

It''s already going to be 101+ today, and it''s only April 25 -so I''m guessing very large, very cold drinks are going to be the safety-net this summer.

This one made an outlandish claim that it would keep icy cold drinks -not just cool, but ICY -for 24 hours. So I got one. I filled it yesterday afternoon with ice to the top -and then poured no-sugar, no artificial sweetener, no artificial color, no preservative, electrolyte replacing sports drink up to the top. And I sat it in the floor and forgot about it it.

Today I open it up, and it is still full of ice TO THE TOP. Nothing is melted, diluted, luke warm or smelly.

No breakable and un-safe glass vacuum bottle. No wimpy 2 layers of aluminum or even stainless steel. This one has the 2 THICK layers of stainless, with about 1/4" of dead air between them. With 40oz of liquid -it''s a bit heavy, but 40oz of liquid alone is almost to heavy to lift one handed, so not much dif.

It does exactly what it claims. And it fits in the cup holder.

Lookout summer! :D

I have ordered three of these bottles. Two of them both had warped steel around the lip of the bottle which means the rubber seal does not fit flush with the rim resulting in bad leaks and big messes. That having been said, the third bottle insulates surprisingly well and 40oz is the perfect size for me. In theory it is exactly the type of water bottle I was looking for. But even on the third non-leaking bottle, the rubber piece that fits around the lid has already come loose and makes opening and closing the bottle difficult.

In sum the idea behind this bottle is great, the insulation works extremely well, but the fact that two in a row for me leaked and the third has a defective design in the lid has reduced my rating to two stars. Considering the price, and for an otherwise sturdy feeling product, I would think these issues would not be present.

I purchased an 18oz polar white wide-mouth bottle. It looks great and does the job of keeping my water cold for a good period of time. The only draw back is that it LEAKS!!! I''ve tried tightening the cap as far as it can go, but there must be a gap in the sealant some where. I emailed Hydro Flask via their website, but received no response from them. Sorry, but I can''t recommend their product.

Granted I''ve only had it for 2-3 weeks so far, I''m really digging it. It''s very large, which means it''s not something you''d take the gym but is great for pretty much any other endeavor. If you fill it with ice, you will still have ice 24 hours later, even using it rather aggressively (I drink water pretty much all day every day). I haven''t had trouble over tightening the cap and not being able to get it open, as I have with other water bottles. The large mouth can obviously take large ice cubes.

The only problem I see in the future is possibly scratching or scuffing the powder coat, I guess if you''re worried about that get the stainless version.

Bottles Up Glass Water Bottle (Black)

Size: 22 oz

The BEST Water Bottle I''ve ever bought. Quality Quality Quality.Thick glass,but isn''t heavy. The Cap stays on and doesn''t leak. I Love This Bottle.Yes,it''s pricey but I believe this bottle could last forever.I''m sooo sick of replacing everything yearly,due to poor construction. I don''t even worry about dropping it.I will be buying more of these. Great Product. I found this item by chance,does not show up under glass water bottle,but under the company name Bottles Up....should be easier to locate on Amazon search. Buy It.

*****

This water bottle is really a work of art rather than just a water bottle. It has a high-quality hand-made look to it. The glass is thick and wavy with tiny bubbles in it, so sturdy. The silicone grips are soft and secure. The silicone top is also soft but strong; it hangs down when it is off rather than sticking out and dripping.

All of the silicone parts can be removed to clean occasionally; only the top would need to be cleaned every time. The bottle has a wide mouth and is very easy to clean with a bottle brush. The company suggests that if your bottle is used for water, then a quick warm water rinse would work; for the occasional deep clean, you can shake with warm soapy water and rinse.

The glass bottle is optimal for the taste and safety of your water, plus you can see just how much liquid is in the bottle. The bottle is also very safe--the silicone is food grade and BPA-free and PVC-free. The bottle is made from at least 75% post-consumer recycled glass and has no plastic whatsoever.

It is very expensive, but it is for me worth every penny. I hope to use it for many years to come.

Highly recommended.

Thick, strong glass, rubber grips makes this durable and droppable.

Best tasting drink, stainless steel rocks, but it does make the water taste metallic, glass is better.

It''s designed so the rubber does not touch the fluid or your lips, keeping the pure taste intact

What i do not like about this bottle: 1) the top comes off easily in my tote bag, drenching my stuff with water 2) I wish it had some kind of handle. I originally thought I could carry it by the loop the top makes, but as I said before the top comes off EASILY, annoying so. I am presently looking for a wide mouth glass bottle with a SCREW TOP, perhaps metal with a rubber seal, and a way to carry it, like a loop or something. I do like that it is thick glass and has an aesthetically pleasing design. It is just not functional for me. I hate when I think i''ve solved a problem and I haven''t.

XLAB Sonic Nut Inflation Holder (Silver) Save 16% off

I bought this expecting an inflation holder and got an INFLATION HOLDER!! Basically, you screw two co2 canisters into it, and screw your co2 inflator onto it, then use the included bolts to attach it to your X-lab turbo wing, through the little hole. You can angle it however you like. Great idea to stop co2 rattling around or falling out over bumps.

This completed my attachments to my carbon sonic wing. It''s placement on the wing will give extra room in my tire bag for additional items.

These mugs are well worth their cost. They look great and add to the game watching experience for the true fan. They are not microwavable, otherwise they would have received 5 stars, but that has not been a problem.

MLB Cincinnati Reds Two Piece Ceramic Gameball Mug Set

The mugs are nice quality, however they are not the same as in the picture. There is the MLB logo but it does not say "I live for this". Other than that they are great.

Kinda cheap these are. If they had better quality these mugs would be off the charts as they do shine. Handle broke off as I took it out of the box, then about a month later the Reds pewter logo fell off. Was able to mend but they could had gone a step further for quality. Go Reds!

Filzer Kewl Bike Bottle 1l with Flip Lid

You''re looking for a metal bottle to replace that plastic one? Here is the Kewl Bottle. Ignore the name... I''ve already made some progress scratching the logo off with my thumbnail. It''s 100% stainless steel, without any of that ridiculous plastic "BPA free" lining a lot of other "metal" bottles have. It has a big, wide mouth. I can fit four fingers in pretty easily. Good for ice cubes, good for cleaning. The lid closure isn''t some weak sliding thing, but a solid latch that opens and closes with a satisfying click. And it''s light. 196 grams on my scale with the lid on, 164 grams without (the neck ring remained on). The metal is thin but only has the very very slightest flex to it, and only when putting on deliberate pressure to test it. I''d certainly hurt myself before I''d manage to make a noticeable dent. My only complaint is that I got it on sale for $7 and now the price is back up. I missed my chance to get a second one for cheap!

BUYER TAKE NOTE: "Bike Bottle" is a bit of a misnomer. This fat bottle will never fit in an ordinary bottle cage. They admit as much on their website, so it''s annoying that it remains part of the name. They do sell others of the correct girth. For reference, this bottle is the same width as a standard Nalgene bottle. Apart from the name, there is nothing "bikey" about this bottle at all. I certainly wouldn''t trust to drink out of this lid at high speed. It''s a bottle for carrying in a bag. I bought it for that, so I''m not going to take any stars off. Just be aware.

This was exactly what I was looking for. 1 liter size, 18/8 stainless steel(not aluminium), wide mouth, and a strong flip top. I''ve had it about a month now and I''ve had no issues. Much cheaper price than others, but looks to be made fairly well. Go get it!

Detroit Lions 16oz GameBall Travel Tumbler

This cup looked awesome online but when I received it in the mail I should have sent it back. Within the first two weeks the team emblem fell out and had to be super glued back on, and the football material for the cup had bad stitching and look like it could come aloose at anytime. The cup was for my husband who is a die heart Lions fan and if that wasn''t so I would have returned the cup.

Reliance Fold-A-Carrier Water Carrier-2.5 Gallon (Clear, Small)

This product seems of reasonable quality compared to similar items I have owned in the past. However, it seems strange to me that I have to pay 40% more for a 2.5 gallon unit than I would pay for a 5 gallon one of similar design and quality.

I''m not using this to haul water a long way or store for any length of time. I use it to gather water at the source (lake, stream, whatever) and chemically treat it. After that, I filter it into hydration bladders and nalgene bottles. It only has to hold water for 30 minutes or so while the chlorine dioxide tabs do their job. Works great for that.

Vapur Element .7L Collapsible Water Bottle Save 2% off

I was on the fence deciding on what kind of collapsible canteen I wanted to get for my E.D.C. pack.

I looked over at the collapsible Nalgenes and was kind of meh about it.

It was bland looking, and I just did not feel so hot about using the plastic neck loop to tether it to my pack, also the complaints about it spilling did not exactly make me look to favorable upon it.

I saw how cheap this was and decided it would not hurt to try.

Here in my video review I go over my thoughts on the product.

Overall I''m very happy I got this, it functions great, and looks pretty cool.

Its only negative being that the climbers clasp is detachable.

I feel it''s construction is quite solid, I''ve sat on it and dropped by mistake without a rupture, and no stink at all so far.

It stands up right on uneven surfaces, and is hard to spill due to it''s lid.

I''ve not really heard of the brand but as far as I can see it out preforms the collapsible Nalgenes by far.

I bought "Wind" white, turquoise, and pink. The pictures don''t give the product any justice! Amazing, compared to the old model, the material seems sturdier and I love the bigger size! But the best feature is the new cap, very sleek and durable. Also, the opening of the bottle makes its alot easier to pour in water. I thought because of the bigger size it would be a hassle having the bottle less than half way full, but NO it''s fine. It doesn''t make it harder to drink out of, or anything, perfectly fine. Great product!

I was really excited to get this product but was a little disappointed. I washed it and than went on a hike. My first drink the water tasted funny, so I went home and washed it again and I still got a funny taste. I email the company direct (not amazon or the company that full filled the order) and informed them of the problem. They said it suppose to be odorless and tasteless but suggest that I wash it with vinegar/water. I soaked it overnight with a 50/50 solution that they suggested and tried it again but the next day it still had that funny taste. I email the company back and they asked me for my address so they can send me a new one. Two days later I received a package with the new Collapsible water bottle. Now this bottle I washed it the same way and tried it out. I''m happy to say that this bottle was odorless and tasteless. I was amazed at Vapur and their Excellent service and care for their customers. Thank you VAPUR. You went beyond what I expected and I am a customer for life.

I had the bottle in my bag with other item and it did not leak on bit. My four year old got a hold of it and was squeezing the heck out of it and it didn''t leak. Great product.

I was planning a trip to Orlando to visit Disney Parks and Universal. Knowing how expensive food and drinks are, I was looking for a water bottle to refill several times each day. This was a most awesome find! I would fill it and freeze overnight and have great water in the morning and then refill whenever I had the chance at the parks. When empty, the water bottle is flat and very light weight. My companions had non-collapsible bottles and they got tired of carrying these everywhere. I would highly recommend this bottle!

Nathan 700ml Blue Vines Steel Bottle with Flip Straw, Black

I absolutely love this bottle and would recommend it to anyone. I owned an older version of it and was just replacing. It is great quality and durability. My last one lasted 3 years and I only replaced it because it was looking pretty beat up and had lost the plastic mouth piece.

This water bottle is fantastic. I love Nathan''s products they are built to last. This is the third stainless steel bottle of theirs I have owned because each bottle lasts about a year for me. I carry it with me EVERYWHERE I go, in the car, on walks, to church, to the grocery store everywhere. They last through countless drops on the floor, falls out of the car, children biting the crap out of the straw, etc.

These bottles don''t leak. Obviously if you turn them upside down with the spout open, it''s going to spill a little, but it quits pretty quickly. If the spout is closed, you might get a drop or two of water spilled, but that''s nothing compared to most bottles. I love that the bottles don''t leak because I have a 4 year old who does not get the concept of "right side up."

I also love that you don''t have to bite down on the straw to suck the water out. It''s just like a normal straw.

I will never buy another brand of bottle.

These wash easily, there is never a weird plastic or metal taste to the water, the water stays cool forever, and they fit perfectly in my car cup holder. They can get heavy if you''re on a long hike (even with the belt clip thing they are a little unwieldy) but I am going to get a water bottle sling so that won''t be an issue anymore. Thanks Nathan! You''ve got a customer for life (and beyond, because my 4 year old loves your bottles too!)

Buy Nathan 700ml Steel Bottle with Flip Straw (Black) Now

***1st review***This bottle is larger than I thought which was great because I drink a ton of water. It truly is a pretty and well constructed bottle and the fact it has a flip straw is awesome because I feel I do drink more water with this straw feature. This bottle came with 2 inner straw replacement attachments which makes for quick and easy cleaning. There is a clip on the top that I clip to my shoulder bag, hiking pack, or what ever else I need it to clip to. The clip is a little on the small side but perfect for holding it with 1 finger.

Thanks for a great water bottle I will be ordering more soon I love all the pretty/fun designs!

**UPDATE** 1/4/2012 I almost lost my keys at the gym because I had them clipped to the clip on the bottle. This sucks because now I have to go back to locking my things in the locker which used to be a great time saver for me. I am dropping 2 stars from my original review. Please make the clip stronger and this bottle would be the best.
