Innate Mega Fresco V2 40oz Stainless Steel Water Bottle Save 1% off

-Large enough (40oz) to fit 5 cups of liquid.
-Very wide opening (which was my main selling point). Few manufacturers have this feature. It makes for easy cleaning while the diameter and threads of the neck are designed to also fit bottle adaptors for many water filters.
-Food grade 304, 18/8 stainless steel body with no inner coatings. The bottle overall is quite light and about 9.5 inches tall (quite compact for the amount of liquid it can hold).
-The redesigned collar of the V2 version feels smoother while threading/unthreading the lid (compared to the older version)
So, make sure you opt for this newer version of the bottle. The older version (as I have seen them in some outdoors sports outlets) used to have a plastic collar that formed a lip over the metal, but the inside of the lip was not flush and could collect some foreign matter; harder to clean. However this is no longer an issue; the new collar is now seamlessly flush.
Also, I recommend the "Innate Flip Top Lid". It is interchangeable with the built-in lid and very practical for sports (drinking straight from the lid without having to unscrew it)
As far as I can tell, this bottle has no design flaws. I am very happy and wholeheartedly recommend it !I''ve been on a quest to find the best water bottle for awhile. I''ve searched endlessly on the internet, and I''ve now found the perfect bottle. Seems like a stupid thing to get excited about, but I''m thoroughly happy with this bottle. I''ve owned many, many water bottles, but they all come up short to the Innate bottle. First the bottle had to be stainless, I also wanted something bigger than average. I empty a 26 oz bottle way too fast. Also I had to be able to drink in big gulps, not little tiny sips like the sport top stainless bottles allow. For that you need the Innate Flow Controller which allows you to drink a lot without pouring it all over yourself. Another feature is that its silent. There''s no squeaky air release here. Just unscrew and pour as much refreshing liquid down the gullet as you want without noise or mess. The first one is staying at work, I''m a massage therapist, and now I need to get a couple more for home, travel etc.

Son dropped it on the asphalt and it got a pinhole in the side. Container wall is a little thin.Read Best Reviews of Innate Mega Fresco V2 40oz Stainless Steel Water Bottle Here
Great size but cheap material, easily dents and easily grows mold on the inner rubber gaskets on both the bottle and the lid even with daily cleaning. I would not recommend this product.Want Innate Mega Fresco V2 40oz Stainless Steel Water Bottle Discount?
The bottle they advertise, and which I picked, stated that it was 48 oz, but in reality when it arrives, it is only 40 oz. Kind of a seedy way to get someone to purchase a bottle.humangear capCap

The spout forms perfectly to your lips due to a little concave ring around the middle of it
The top is slightly rubberized for excellent grip (plus it''s green, which is cool)
The strap is sturdy and comfortable to hold
The top cap twists on and off in one full rotation
That''s about it. It doesn''t need to do anything else, and it doesn''t try. It''s the perfect solution for the narrow/wide mouth water bottle dilemma.Great cap that delivers as advertised. It''s easy to open and close due to the rubber coated cap and the smaller opening makes it a lot easier to drink from a large Nalgene without spilling water all over myself, yet you can remove the whole thing to clean out the bottle. Much better than the cheap inserts that fit into the throat of a Nalgene bottle (and always fall out).This is a very well conceived bottle cap: simple, nice and extremely functional, vastly superior to the original one that comes with the Nalgene wide mouth bottles.
(I am reviewing a "second generation" cap; the first one had a leaking problem with some bottles, as stated at Human Gear''s web site to their credit they offer a free replacement to anyone who had purchased the leaky one).
Alas, I hate to say that they have one great drawback: it absorbs the taste and smell of some beverages.
It is very well thought off, the designer(s) must be proud of their creation; it is not cheapie; but the material it was made of is inadequate for its use.Okay, so here is the scoop. I bought this for my new Nalgene bottle and when I received it and used it, it did EXACTLY was is was supposed to and was made well and looks great. Now, here is where it gets interesting. The black retaining strap was split along the thin part so I emailed a picture of the split to HumanGear with an explanation of what I found on my new CapCap. This is where HumanGear redeemed themselves and gained a customer for LIFE!!!! So, they responded very quickly apologizing for the split in the retaining ring and ensured their products are built for everyday use and it must have been a defect. So they promptly shipped me a new retaining ring. I could have easily sent it back to Amazon for replacement but why when 90% of the cap was fine. So when I received my replacement today not only did they send me TWO new straps to have an extra spare, they threw in one of their GoToobs travel tube for Lotions, Shampoo, etc. Really cool product. Also attached was a hand written note from the person I had emailed about my issue with another apology. I am not a HumanGear customer for life! This is how you handle customer service in a world like we have today!I purchased this cap with the 40oz wide mouth Klean Kanteen bottle for my husband for work. He needed a wide mouth bottle for cleaning but a narrow mouth for drinking. He hates sport spouts as he feels he doesn''t get enough water when drinking. So...we opted for this cap. Here is one tip to prevent leaking. Apply the base cap to the bottle with the top cap off. After securing the base cap, then tighten the upper cap. After learning this, my husband discovered the bottle won''t leak anymore.

Basics:
1. The new material is definitely softer and more flexible than other Platypus water containers.
2. It is lightweight and compact when folded. Stores nice until needed.
3. It allows for versatility since it is able to accept different lids and hydration tubes.
4. The part that I really like is the loop which provides flexibility to attach to gear or hang if necessary.
I like keeping this with my gear in case I am running out of water and come across a water source. I fill up the 1 liter bottle and add one tablet of the Katadyn MicroPur water purification tables. These tables are designed to be used with one liter of water so the Platypus is a perfect size. I can then attach it to the outside of my pack so that the sun hits it which aids in cleaning the water.
The Platypus PlusBottle is a nice addition to have with your gear. It takes up little space when not in use and it is great to have when needed. Highly recommend.This is a great idea. I take this empty and rolled up in my carryon, get through tsa at the airport and fill it up on the other side. On the flight i have water when ever i want, without paying $3 and up for bottled water. Filled and frozen it makes a great freezer pack for a cooler, then used for drinking water when you arrive. The size is perfect for a round of golf, start off frozen, and you have cold water through 18 holes.
Admittedly I do get kidded when I bring it to the office, because it looks like an upside down IV bottle, but I can take the heat. Especially when I can fill it where the water tastes good, to be used where the faucet water doesn''t, like in an unnamed hotel in Dallas, where I fill up from the bottled water in the gym to use for coffee in my room.
I now own 4, and they are in constant use by me and mine.

I''ve bought several of these bottles and I''m about to buy another, two for myself(somehow I manage to leave mine in strange places). I bought one each for my niece and nephew and I bought one for my sister. I think the person that got the most use out of her Platypus was my mom -she took it everywhere -she stuck in the fridge over night and the next day it was ready to go -we had a lot of days in and out of doctors offices and her platypus was a constant and welcome companion. It was strange because my mom never really cared to carry water bottles with her, I thought it would be something she put in a cabinet somewhere and never used, but she loved her first and only...She passed away a few weeks ago -and I found her Platypus folded in her bag when I bought it home from the hospital, ready for action -her Platypus is now retired, but it''s one of many things that will remain an endearing memory of my last year with my mom. I miss her terribly...Read Best Reviews of Platypus Platypus® plusBottleTM Here
Lots of thought went into this outstanding travel bottle. It rolls up nicely inside my briefcase or backpack and like others have said, it "sneaks" empty by the TSA and then I can fill it up for water for my trip. It is very resilient too and so far through lots of crushing and manhandling, there has been no breach (water loss). I have the clear one and am told that water is better (safer?) in something more opaque so you might consider researching that before picking a color.The big drawback is the lack of a secure top. The snap top is great for drinking but the cap that protects the mouth piece is simply a cheap, clear plastic cap that is not in anyway tethered to the bottle. Once that is gone, the pop top is not protected from germs or from accidentally opening. If this bottle had a better cap, I would rate it higher.My passion is photography, so I walk long distances taking pictures of what I see. I used to carry water bottles to keep from getting thirsty until I purchased the Platypus. I like it more than water bottles because I can carry it in the pocket of my cargo pants and barely know that it''s there. Unlike water bottles, it will flex when I sit down and it flattens out in my pocket.

High Sierra Tank Messenger Bag
Posted by
norelco
on Friday, September 20, 2013
The two pen holders in the center of the two pockets are big enough to hold two Bic pens in each (total of 4)
I like how there are two zippers for the main compartment; the pocket for the cellphone is ok; I carry my cellphone in my pocket. Since my falls classes have not started yet; it is hard to say how much books I''ll be able to stuff into this messenger bag.
The shoulder strap is good; although I think that they could have made it a bit shorter; then again, I''m only 5''6".
Overall, I think that you''ll be glad to have purchased this type of messenger bag; especially if you are the type of person that like to carry a lot of books at one time for classes.
Updated:
OK three weeks into my fall classes and so far this messanger bag has held up and most importantly; it has been able to carry a majority of my books. It is able to fit (main compartment)four 3subject notebooks, three small but thick text books and two large textbooks. Also I was able fit my netbook in the other pocket. Granted it is heavy carrying all these books but this bag has been able to fit them.I absolutely love the color of this bag! The plaid also adds detail to an otherwise plain bag, something I was looking for, among all of the plain bags on the market today. It was a little larger than I expected, or wanted, but its size can be attributed to it being very wide and thin. I can fit several text books side-by-side and my laptop inside, yet I don''t feel like I''m carrying a bulky backpack around with me. I really like the two mesh pouches on the sides; it''s very convenient for carrying multiple drink bottles. The quality is excellent. I''ve only had it for a few months, but it has not started to show signs of wear yet.
This is an excellent bag for someone looking to carry around a large amount of stuff with them. If all you plan on carrying with you is a notebook and a few pens, look for something else that''s smaller. If you were like me, and looking for something to carry several books and a computer in, then this bag will suit your purpose to the letter.

I have purchased from High Sierra before and their bag lasted from highschool on into college before I the zipper failed on me and some of the stitching on the shoulder pad was ripping out. This bag is great, fits several books, several notepads and a small binder. I have plenty of room for my calculator, pens, pencils, tissues, sunglasses, two water bottles, and a pack of gum for when I start to fall asleep in class. I use it everyday and everywhere I need to go, whether it''s school or I''m off to another country. High Sierra uses rip-stop fabric that holds up incredibly against the day-to-day grind.Read Best Reviews of High Sierra Tank Messenger Bag Here
This is really a combination messenger bag/laptop bag. The outer flap has a VERY roomy, zippered compartment for easy access to smaller items, but which will easily fit a standard compact umbrella and still zip shut. It secures closed by both a velcro strip and two robust snap-close clips.Lift up the flap and you''ll find two vertical, velcro-close pouches, about the dimensions of a checkbook, but much larger and fuller. Perfect for storing all your USB cables, connectors, small notebooks, whatever. In between them are two slots, each of which will hold a regular pen or pencil or even a Tide pen! (I have one of both!)
On either side of the bag are two net bags, just the right size to hold a travel coffee mug (without handle) and an aluminum screw-top water bottle.
At the very bottom corner of the bag is a small velcro-closure pouch, perfect for holding a phone, Ipod, or, in my case, a multi-tool and LED flashlight!
Now for the inside. You have one non-closeable large main compartment, which will fit an 11x17 ream of paper without batting an eye. Plenty of room.
Immediately behind that compartment is a reasonably padded, zip-close compartment that will hold a laptop, power brick, CAT-5 cable a router, several instruction manuals and lunch! Seriously, the interior of this bag is YUGE! You''ve got a lot of room here, and I like it this way.
The bag has both a carrying handle for holding it like a briefcase, and a strap for carrying over the shoulder; the strap has a nice, thick pad for cushioning the weight of the bag on your shoulder.
My only real issue with this bag is that the carrying strap is not mounted on swivels, so it''s very easy for the strap to get twisted, and the pad can get flipped around. Other than this minor inconvenience, if you''re looking for a messenger bag that holds more than the average, has plenty of compartments for your stuff and is ready for foul weather, a hike in the mountains or a commute to work, this bag works!

I wasn''t too sure about this when I started using it, but I realized over time I was just having "new bag" issues, i.e., learning where to put/find things as compared to the bag it replaced.I''ve decided I don''t love the flap-over buckle design as much as the soft briefcase style I was using prior. If you pick this bag up without the flap buckled, you''re almost certain to lose anything tucked in the front flap. I think a zipper or other closure on that front space would be useful. I''m also mixed on whether I like the single, big open space in the bag versus a design with compartments, but I essentially solved this by using a series of drawstring bags to organize items within the single large space.
The mesh outer pockets are perfect for holding a water bottle, or small items that you need ready access to. The strap, handles, and zippers are all of decent quality; I''m pretty hard on bags, and this one has help up quite well for the past few months.
Other than some design modifications that would make more sense for me personally, this is a decent bag and worth the price.

14 oz Thermal Double Walled Glass and Polycarbonate Water Bottle

From a superficial standpoint, this thermos is absolutely beautiful. The design is simple and elegant. I have had many people (friends and strangers!!) asking where I bought it.
This tea thermos is also very practical. It is double-walled, which helps to keep the temperature roughly constant over a longer period of time as compared to other thermoses that do not have that feature. I have put boiling water into my thermos and let it sit in a room that was about 75 degrees Fahrenheit to test it out. It is no longer warm after about 1 hour and 45 minutes.
For durability, this item is manufactured with polycarbonate outside and glass inside. It also has a BPA-free lip when you keep the filter on. If you wish to drink with the filter off, you''ll be drinking right out of the glass part itself.
There are several different ways that you can use this thermos, which make it even more practical and awesome. First, you can use the glass to steep teas in like the picture shows. This is good for teas that don''t require you to stop steeping after a few minutes. If you''d like to enjoy some tea that do require you to stop steeping after X-amount of minutes, you can put the tea on the top part of the filter, set the thermos upside down, and let the tea infuse the water that way for the steeping time. When you''re done steeping, you can throw the tea leaves out. A last way that you can use your thermos is without the filter entirely. The lid screws right onto the thermos, making it possible to leave the filter off if you don''t need it (for example, with already brewed tea or just water, etc.).
Although the price is a little on the expensive side, the practicality, aesthetics, durability, and overall quality really make this product work. I really love this thermos for those reasons and would recommend it to anyone.
****UPDATE 12/11/12****
After really liking this thermos, I got 2 more for friends. However, I have found several things about this thermos that have caused me to remove 2 stars.
First, is that out of the three thermoses that I received, two of them have had quality issues. One of them had lots of denting in the metal parts, and the other one had a big scratch right on the front of the thermos either on the glass/polycarbonate that I can''t get to because it''s between the double walls. Maybe I just was unlucky and ordered from an "off" batch, but this is very disappointing, especially since I spent almost $40 per thermos. I received a replacement for one, but I told my other friend to just deal with it because I didn''t feel like contacting the company again.
Second, the friend who received the one without dings and dents showed me that condensation somehow got inside of her thermos''s double walls. It''s been a couple of days and the condensation has not escaped. I looked at Libre Tea''s website and it has some information about letting steam escape before screwing the top on, but I feel that it would be better if Libre Tea had included this information in/on the product packaging.
Third, Libre Tea markets this product as one where you can drink straight from the glass (without having the removable filter on). I tried this with black tea and now have a dark spot between the glass and the polycarbonate. Because it is sort of "sealed in" from the sealant, I can''t get it clean. As such, I would recommend that unless you''re drinking water, you should keep the filter on when drinking out of the thermos.
Fourth, the product is marketed as leak-proof, but my friends and I have still experienced leaking, even after making sure to screw the top on correctly and tightly. Usually the leaks are a small amount (several drips down the sides), but even so, this is not leak-proof.
Finally, when brewing tea in my tea glass, I generally use boiling water. After filling the tea thermos with boiling water, I put the cap on to keep it warm. However, if I plan on drinking the tea in the next few minutes (for example, immediately after steeping(, I find that the top is too hot to touch and must use something to serve as a barrier between my hands and the metal lid. As such I would recommend that you leave the top off if you can/plan on drinking it within the next 10-15 minutes after brewing tea with boiling water.
With that said, there are several positive aspects about the product and company that makes the product to be mentioned. First, the product is still aesthetically pleasing if you can get one without scratches/dings/dents, and it works to keep your tea warm. Further, it''s made with polycarbonate on the outside, so I don''t worry too much about putting it in my bag and having it break. I really like this about the product and consider it a major plus as many other similar products are made with glass on both the outside and inside and thus are prone to breaking easier. Finally, I think the customer service for this product is beyond phenomenal--every time that I have emailed to inquire about something, I have been replied to courteously and professionally.
The bottom line, though, is that I feel like I''ve spent a lot of money on thermoses that did not provide me with adequate care instructions and lots of cosmetic imperfections and feel like I let my friends down. :( It''s too bad because I really wanted to love this thermos.Recently got into tea after a few visits to Teavana.
However, I was not impressed with their portable tea filter carrier it was made of all glass (vs. the combo of glass and poly as this one is) and most importantly, the strainer/filter at the top "snaps" instead of being part of the lid and screwing in thus allowing for any bending in the metal to mess things up really easily.
This item feels substantial and I love how it''s glass on the inside. Comes also with an extra rubber ring.
Dropping this item *will* cause the interior to shatter though as I ordered two and my husband already broke his.
Filter tight enough for small leaves. Easy to clean. My favorite office item.

This is my first Amazon review. I usually don''t care if products aren''t exactly what I expected. I was really excited to get this tumbler. I was really interested in the 2 steeping options. The video on their website makes it seem so easy. My first attempt was to brew a black tea which can only be steeped for 5 minutes. So I poured the hot water in the tumbler, put on the first lid, put in my loose tea, then put on the top lid to turn it over and steep. When I turned it over, water started spewing out the side. I guess my water was too hot. I turned it over, took off the top lid to let it cool a bit and stop steaming. I tried it a second time, and the same thing happened. The other problem is that I cannot get the bottom lid to come off. It''s so tight. I emptied all the water and tea, let it cool down, twisted so hard I thought I was going to break it. It finally came off. I tried this whole routine again. It is impossible to use the tumbler with the timed steeping process. I tried it like a normal tea tumbler with Green tea and it works fine, however I still have to put so much muscle into opening the bottom lid that it''s just not worth it. I can''t imagine taking this with me and using at my desk.Read Best Reviews of 14 oz Thermal Double Walled Glass and Polycarbonate Water Bottle Here
I really love this container for my tea while at work. It''s great and simple to use-just VERY important to ensure that you leave the lid off for a few minutes after pouring boiling water into it...otherwise it will put pressure onto the seal that separates the glass/plastic layers and let tea and moisture seep into the middle layer. I messed up the first one, and the company sent me a replacement container. Have had it for months without any other issues! Well worth the extra $ for this container :)Want 14 oz Thermal Double Walled Glass and Polycarbonate Water Bottle Discount?
Great device for the first few brews. Then leaky live a sieve.Customer support help didn''t help. This gizmo is a really good idea but the designers executed it poorly.

Use some sort of napkin, or other soft material to line the inside of the ring so that it doesn''t scratch your bike when installed. Will clamp on, but have a allen wrench available to tighten fully.
Overall, a pretty good product, well worth the price.
