Geigerrig G1 1200 Hydration Pack Save 9% off

I bought the Geigerrig 1200 after buying a Camelbak Mule NV. I got the 1200 for a really good price so I decided to pull the trigger on it and order it. It came folded flat and ready to rock. I put it to the test with a 10 mile hike in the woods and a whole day of swimming/hiking trails and mangroves.

The pack is very sturdy and took all my survival gear and clothing for the weekend. Its volume and compression are easily regulated by multiple straps on the side and on the back of it. I strapped clothing layers that I wanted readily accessible within the elastic straps on the back (one thing that the 1200 has but the other Rigs don''t have I believe). The cargo volume is huge! This pack can carry a lot more stuff than it seems!

The shoulder straps are easy on the shoulders/traps and don''t dig in hard. They are easily adjusted. So are the chest and hip straps. I added some carabiners on the back of the pack to carry extra stuff like my Vibrams and my Glo Toob lithium as a night time beacon.

The hydration engine is simply awesome and really easy to use. First, the bladder is 3L. I usually fill my Camelbak with 2/3 water and 1/3 ice so I did the same here. No problem. It fits nicely into the bladder compartment and there is even an elastic compartment to put it in in case you want to reduce bladder-swinging. The clip-on valves are easy and intuitive to use. The water valve may leak a few drops during plugging operations but that is normal. Once full and in place the bladder just needs a few pumps from the hand-pump and voila: pressurized water flow! So easy to drink I drank way too much. Really useful too when you need to wash the blood of splattered mosquitoes off your arms! The bladder is also really easy to wash: just reach for the bottom and pull it inside out. It is sturdy, tough, and won''t rip. Wash it with running water and mild soap, rinse, then dry it with paper towels while you''re at it. Done. No need to hang dry.

During the 10 mile hike I decided to run for a quick mile with a full pack to see how it would handle. For a 1200 cu in, the pack balanced nicely and I did not feel any discomfort or anything that made me want to stop. I am confident that I could run longer distances with it, with less load in the pack.

Geigerrig is putting out quality products and I am very impressed with this 1200 pack. I am looking forward to any new lines of products they will release.

Let me start off by saying it is sad a big company like camelbak never thought of this but great the little guys could. I ordered this product after my camelbak recently burst a bladder. The idea of not feeling like I needed to suck a golf ball through a garden hose was nice as well as being able to share a bit of hydration with my pooch. I was very pleased with the product. The pack is sturdy with tons of straps to shrink it down when not full and great if you are on a motorcycle with it. The pump works perfectly and puts out water just right not slow and not to high of a volume. After hours spent trying to clean and dry my camelbak I was so happy i can turn this inside out wash it and leave it to dry. No extra brushes, dryers, hangers etc... It even says its top rack dishwasher safe (I dont see a need to risk this since my dishwasher regularly destroys plastic wear).

On top of all of this I was a little concerned about putting anything other than water in the pack since it has a valve and pumps and such. On this note I visited the website for Geigerrig and looked for a customer support email. I found the page but was a little off put by the fact the emails listed were the CEO, COO and production manager. I figured "oh this isnt going to work" but emailed the CEO on a Saturday evening anyway. Sunday morning I see an email from the CEO answering my question and letting me know "go ahead and put sports drinks in, just wash it well afterwards"... Seriously, the CEO emailed me on a Sunday morning, with a good answer and a thank you for purchasing their product.

I have written quite a few reviews on amazon when I am impressed by a product, customer service or not satisfied. I am so pleasantly surprised by every aspact of this product and company I cant say enough. Buy this or one of their other packs you will be very pleased.

Buy Geigerrig G1 1200 Hydration Pack Now

I am a Geigerrig man from now on. As I have been made aware, this pack is getting rave reviews in such outdoor sites such as Backpacker.com by authors and users alike as well as garner awards like 3M''s In-New-vation award for 2011. You might not think that means anything, but you''ll know what''s so cool about it as soon as I let you borrow mine. Haha.

The quality of the pack is put together with such excellent craftsmanship, I see no flaw. It carries good load (1200 cu. in. is giant for a hydration pack), with really good compression on the both sides and both for main compartment and the smaller front pocket so you''re able to really squeeze your stuff in place. It''s very solid and stable on your back when packed right, which I''m sure you got a handle on.

Has great cushioning on the back and breathes real well. The the pressurized hydration bladder works perfectly, as the product description states; NEVER SUCK AGAIN. You won''t appreciate that until you''re actually drinking from it, you can even do things like wash away dirt from any part of your body. Spraying also means you can share your drink without fear of cooties. The bite valve is the most comfortable I''ve felt yet. I like the 45 degree angle to it. And that''s not even all, you can even add an inline filter (sold separately for something like 20-30 bucks, through their site)that enables you pull water straight up from streams and remove 99% of giarda and other contaminants. COME ON with the COME ON!!!!

For me that''s what really sold it, a hydration pack that can actually save you from a dire situation or stress. Man.. that''s going far and beyond for ANY hydration backpacks.

When you''re out trekking a trail or camping where you''re out on your own, every little useful feature you can pack with you is GREATLY appreciated! It can expand big enough to carry gear or to day hike, or you can keep it compact enough to ride around a bike with.. either way, it''s just as comfortable. There''s just something badass about this backpack. It''s like an action on the go grab backpack... if that makes any sense.

EDIT: The support you get with this product is unseen in other companies. They totally have heart and believe in their products. That''s nice to see nowadays! I contacted people responsible for this pack, and they are very nice and generous!

It''s important to note that they have lifetime warranty backing their bags and bladders. 2 years on the bags themselves and lifetime on the bladder. At any event of leakage problems, they got your back. This is great considering the engine retails about 50 bucks, and don''t even think about loading this pack with a different bladder, you''d do yourself a disservice.

If you''re ever in a market for a good hydration pack or looking to replace one, please consider the GEIGERRIG name! You won''t regret it.

I was skeptical at first but after a few months with it and taking it skiing a couple of times i was sold. The quality of the bag is really nice and there is no funny smell or taste from the reservoir. You can pretty much take everything apart to clean. It is on the otherhand quite pricey. I got it for half off here when it was on sale, so wait for a deal then jump on it, you wont be sorry.

Want Geigerrig G1 1200 Hydration Pack Discount?

I was looking for a good day pack to take on my adventures, after some extensive looking I stumbled upon the Geigerrig. Read the reviews and decided to take the leap, and what a great leap it was, awesome pack, plenty of room (1-2 days worth of stuff) but what really made me fall in love was the hydration system inside. After you have been climbing mountains and scolding rocks all day, the last thing you would want to do is fight for water thru one of those tubes, I have a camelback, (maybe mine was defective) but it was almost like sucking jello thru a straw, but the Geigerrig solved that problem with the compression system. I was a little concerned due to the fact that it requires pumping, and i thought well when I''m down to the last little bit of water I''ll have to pump this thing for an hour to build up the compression, but to my surprise there are 2 sacks, one for the water and one for the compression so it requires approximately the same amount of pressure no matter if it is full or nearly empty. Well played Geigerrig... well played.

Innate Kaze (425ml/13.5-Ounce)

The green tea color is true to the picture. The volume is great for hot beverages such as tea, coffee, and hot chocolate because the serving sizes tend to be smaller, but for water this thermos is a bit too small for me. The double-wall vacuum feature works great: it keeps cold drinks cold and hot drinks hot for hours the longest I went before finishing off a cup was about three hours, but it was still hot at the end of it. I don''t even fill it with cold or hot water beforehand as most manufacturers of thermoses suggest. No rusting, discoloration, or odor issues after five months of use. I like that you can remove the handle, and that you can hook a carabiner to the handle to hang it off a backpack. It fits in vehicle cupholders just fine.

All that said, it''s not my favorite thermos. I don''t like using it for water because I''m constantly refilling it and would have preferred a larger size option. It''s not the most comfortable thing for me to hold. I prefer to put my thumb in the loop with my palm against the mug, but it''s not quite wide enough to do this, even with small hands. You have to hold it from the outside of the handle or put your index finger through the loop, palm against the mug, and thumb around the front. Finally, if you use dishwashing tablets, know that some residue will be left on the plastic parts of the mug and you''ll have to rinse it or handwash those parts.

I have searched high & low for a durable travel mug with a handle that does not leak with regular use & will not spill if tipped over this is it! In the past I have bought many cheaper ones because cost was an initial deterrent, but after they either broke or leaked hot tea on me (for a total cost much more than this mug) I caved, and could not be more satisfied. I misplaced it last wk and searched in vain for another (could not remember make/name), but thankfully I found mine today! I immediately came online to buy a back up :o)

Buy Innate Kaze (425ml/13.5-Ounce) Now

I''ve had one of these mugs for over a year. I would buy one again in a hot minute! Coffee is still hot enough to drink after eight hours. As long as the button type seal is tightly in place, this cup will not leak. I don''t use the handle or the cup/lid. I use the mug more like a tumbler than a regular coffee cup. My only wish is that it was a little bigger. 13oz is sorta small for me. In short this is the best hot or cold drink mug that I''ve ever owned.

Seychelle 27oz Stainless Steel Regular Water Filter Bottle (Red)

I was super excited about this product. I had been using plastic filtered bottles and wanted a healthier alternative so I opted for the stainless steel. This seemed to fit the bill for everything I was looking for and the description and details made it sound wonderful!

The product worked like it said and I was happy. Water tasted great and I could drink the tap water without the chemicals and without that plastic taste.

I made the item for about 2 weeks when it broke. While drinking from it I felt something come to my lips. I looked into the mouth piece and a small black part had come off from the inside! I contacted the company to see if I could get a replacement since the papers it came with a 90 day guarantee, but no one has emailed back and it has been about a week.

I will be sending it back to try a similar item by a different company.

I almost didn''t order this product because of the comments about how hard it was to get the water out. Well, it''s all in how you TILT the bottle! The instructions tell you to tilt the bottle 45 degrees and to suck as using a straw. The filter is at the bottom of the container, and obviously, if you tilt the bottle way up, as we normally do with a water bottle, the filter will be at the top and the water at the bottom and you will be sucking air! Remember that you are basically drinking from a bottle with a straw and that 45 degrees is just a slight tilt (and don''t go so far as 45 degrees). When you keep the filter in the water, there is no problem!

The shape of the bottle is easy to hold and fits perfectly into the cup holders in our cars, without being wobbly. The water is fresh tasting and I don''t mind filling my bottle from any source with this bottle. When you have the right tilt, the water flows easily from the bottle without effort. This is really a great product.

If you are looking for a bottle to use to pour filtered water into another container, however, this one won''t work. This bottle is strictly for drinking by sucking up the water.

I don''t really use it anymore because it is so hard to suck the water up the straw. I just got a plastic BPA free filter water bottle where you can tilt and squeeze the water into your mouth through the filter. That is a lot easier. I really wanted stainless steal so to avoid plastic altogether but it just isn''t really that practical.

Minoura Strap-on Bottle Cage Mount (22.2mm to 35mm Tubes)

This thing is a joke. All I can think of is whoever devised the connection must be sadistic.

I read the reviews and saw what a pain someone had with it. Ordered it anyway. Mine came without the spacer and in a package that looked repacked. I had to use some spacer material I had on hand, and even then it wouldn''t snug properly. Blindly screwing a screw through two holes, a bent, loose piece of metal, and then through a final nut is pathetic engineering. And it never did fit tight.

This bottle cage mount is adjustable so that you can mount it to your handlebars, your seat post, or your frame. The strap comes with three different holes, and in theory you can just straighten out the strap at the part that comes already bent (i.e. in the position used for a handlebar mount) and then bend it near the last hole to mount it on the frame. There is a nut welded to the strap, so you can match the desired hole up with the end with the nut on it and then screw the mounting piece to it. It seems simple enough. However, the screw that attaches the mounting piece to the strap is so short that you have to really bend the strap ends up so that they fit inside the mounting piece. When the ends are aligned and bent up enough, you can then screw in the screw. I''m sure this is not hard to do if you have lots of experience mounting things on bike frames. For me, it was difficult and it took quite a while to get it in place. That said, it does hold my water bottle cage very nicely. I will not, though, try to move it any time soon.

It does the job but my the rubber padding to make it stick isn''t enough, I had to go to a hardware store to get some extra to make it stay. it''s good but it just wasn''t a perfect fit.

I searched FOREVER for something to allow me to put a water bottle cage on my bike. My bike is a racer from the 80''s so it didn''t have the little nuts braised on. No bike shops had anything close to this. I did not want it to go on my handlebars or on my seat post, which there are plenty out there for that. After looking for months I found this (and even on Amazon it took me a while to find it)... this is really good quality and does the job very well! It would be nice if it wouldn''t project the cage out so far, but it allowed me to have a water bottle on my bike so I don''t really care, and there is no way around it anyway.

I recommend it highly!

H2O4K9, Stainless Steel K9 Water Bottle

Purchased this bottle six weeks ago and have used it less than ten times. After each use, it was rinsed and air-dried (no harsh chemicals or brushes). This morning, I noticed several rust spots on the inside of the bottle near the neck. It''s not exactly a durable stainless steel given the minimal use.

The H2O4K9 website offers the following suggestion: "If your bottle shows signs of rust, you can re-treat the surface with a citric acid bath." I''ll give it a shot once I return from the citric acid store and let y''all know how it works.

The bottle holds more than enough water for the dogs and the cap design is great. The dogs find it easy to use and you can pour excess water back into the bottle without much trouble. Finally, its hourglass shape makes the bottle easy to hold even when it''s sweating like crazy on a hot humid day.

Good luck with yours and enjoy!

Got this for bike rides with my 50-pound pit. The top screws off all the way (I initially thought it flipped off but stayed connected to the bottle, but it comes off entirely); the cap is shaped so that my dog can comfortably fit her snout and drink. The design makes it easy to pour back what she doesn''t drink into the bottle. Cute color, a nice sturdy aluminum. Good buy!

It''s a great water bottle for your pup! My puppy loves drinking water out of it after a trail run or during a hike. Fill it up with ice then fill it up with water. Fresh cold water with no funky plastic smell. It kept the water cold during a 5-mile hike. Your pup will love it! With my prime membership, I got it in two days with no shipping.

Our dog took to this immediately. With the weather so hot this summer it was great to have a clean water option for our dog while out about. Next we plan to travel long distance with dog in tow and this is so much safer than a cup of water from the drive thru. Shipped quickly.

After looking in multiple pet stores and websites, I would say aesthetically, this is the prettiest / cutest / sturdiest dog water bottles out there. Although I have only used once, I have to say it could not have worked more perfectly. My dog averages 60 lbs, and we were at an outdoor dog festival in FL. for 3 hours. She had such an easy time drinking out of the screw off lid, as well as seemed to want to drink more when it was from this particular shape; which is always a good thing. The bottle holds plenty of water, and it stayed cold for the entire trip.

I would definitely recommend :)

Botl Standard Mouth Stainless Steel Water Bottle

I love it! After taking repeated hits from coworkers about my perpetual use of bottled water, I decided to purchase this lovely water bottle and see how it would work for me. I am so glad that I did! Not only does the bottle hold the perfect amount of water, the stainless steel container keeps it cold forever! The mouth of the bottle is very wide, so it is easy to fill with ice (a must have in my world). And the bottle is amazingly easy to clean. Did I mention that it is perfectly lovely? Because it is! I get compliments on it all of the time and tell everyone where I got it. It is a total winner!

I''ve been using this bottle daily for the past 6 months, unfortunately there''s a transparent film that is beginning to peel off. I''m afraid the design will come off next. :(

My advice is wash with a very soft sponge.

I was a little disappointed when I received the three I ordered for my family and I. I was tempted to return it and didn''t but now wishing that I did. You will need to order the ice trays that makes the long cubes since the regular ice cubes wouldn''t fit. I don''t find that the items stay very cold either. The look pretty but that''s it.

My husband and I both like this water bottle for it''s sport top, easy open cap and you can easily put ice in it. However, on occasion some sort of suction problem develops. You can take a couple sips and then have to stop and let air in. It worked fine the first 2 days, this problem developed on day 3. We hadn''t put it in the dishwasher or abused it in any way. So I''m not sure if this is a product defect or if it just happens. Either way, it''s something we''ll consider next time we''re looking for a new water bottle.

Dreamfarm Tapi Rubber Tap Squeeze Drinking Fountain Save 37% off

I bought this for the middle school classroom I work in. The kids were always leaving the room to get a drink or needed cups for our sink. It fit great on the faucet in the classroom and the kids LOVE it! Great invention!!!

My daughter loves this water fountain for her sink but it really is lacking in functionality. YOu have to squeeze it JUST right to get the water to bubble towards you. Most of the time it just has a small bubble that goes onto the faucet. my daughter does not mind slurping at the water with her mouth over the faucet but she is 5!

I usually squeeze it quite hard to get it to point towards her. seems like with a little design modification this could be fabulous!
