Fresh Baby 2 Pack Collapsible Water Bottle (10 Ounce)

If you''re in need of a light weight water bottle that can clip to virtually any bag/tote; this one fits the bill. This feature keeps the bottle visible which provides a reminder for our little one to keep sipping! Although the design matches other items in the Fresh Baby line, I''m hoping Amazon will carry fun color choices in the future, because in our house a new cup/container equals a greater volume of H2O intake!

Built Small Ski Patrol Red Bottle Slinger 24 Ounce

I love this bottle slinger! People actually ask me where they can buy one all the time. I bought my first one at an organic market, but when I went back they were all gone. So I searched for it on

Amazon.com. This product is excellent. If it was a little less expensive, it would be perfect. The slinger holds several size bottles. I use it mostly to carry my Kleen Kanteen 27 oz bottle. If you attach a thin strap you can carry it on your shouder too.

Hydro Flask Stainless Steel Insulated Drinking Bottle

I purchased a bunch of hydroflasks as promotional items for my business...I kept one for myself and one morning decided to put some coffee in it before a day of skiing...Got back to the car at the end of the day and burnt the hell out of my mouth when I took a gulp....Amazing product...just watch yourself

I heard about these bottles on a Podcast and I have to say they are incredible!! I put steaming hot water in one and 10 hours later it was STILL steaming. I left ice water in another one for 24 hours and there were still remnants of ice in it an entire day later!! The best thing about these bottles is that they don''t ''sweat'' and get everything else in your bag wet. Also, if you have a boiling hot drink in it you can barely tell from the outside that you have hot liquid in it. The bottle only feels slightly warm to the touch unlike other bottles that will burn your hands if you have a hot drink in them. Definitely worth the price!!

This is a very nice bottle from a good company. I prefer it to the Sigg bottle I had before because of the insulation and the absence of weird chemicals on the inside. The threads between the bottle and the cap are not as well toleranced as the Sigg bottles, but the seal is very good and it never leaks. The main problem I have is that the paint on the outside of the bottle rubs off very easily and it gets all over the other things in my bag, including my computer and my books. So if they could re-engineer the paint and maybe tighten up the tolerance in the screw threads, it would be a perfect bottle. But, as it is, it is still my favorite water bottle.

After waiting for 5 weeks to get this drinking bottle (I knew in advance I''d wait that long, so it''s not a complaint), it arrived with a green-colored foreign substance on several of the threads of the bottle. The substance is not removable. Very disappointing. I called the company the day I got the bottle and received a defect free bottle 3 days later. Great customer service. Be sure to check the threads of the bottle to make sure there are no defects/substances that shouldn''t be on them.

*** Since posting my initial review, I searched on Google for "green substance on stainless steel bottle." What showed up was a link to a stainless bottle, also made in China, imported by Klean Kanteen. Several reviewers (on Amazon) found a green substance on the inside of the rim on the threads of their bottle along with a bad taste in water placed in the bottle. The defect on the bottle sent to me is not an isolated incident. We don''t know if the same factory made the bottles for the two different American importers, but we do know that there is a problem with the quality control of the manufacturer(s). I e-mailed both Klean Kanteen and Hydro Flask about the problem. Klean Kanteen wrote a very professional response to my concerns (they said they have tested the substance on their defective bottles and have found it to be non-toxic). I received a VERY unprofessional response from Hydro Flask. The President of the company wrote about the frequent flyer miles they used to visit China and that the factory is in a very beautiful location. It was mainly a generic response to customers asking about the flask being manufactured in China rather than addressing my particular issue.

Want Hydro Flask Stainless Steel Insulated Drinking Bottle Discount?

I ordered a 24oz Hydro Flask along with several Klean Kanteen sizes here on Amazon and have tested them both extensively. Both were shipped from and sold by Amazon so I do not think any of them were knock-offs.

When holding both bottles in my hands, it is immediately apparent that the Hydro Flask bottles have a finish that is smoother compared to the Klean Kanteen. It feels like they spent a bit more time on the Hydro Flask.

The Klean Kanteen bottles have a rolled steel lip on the top edge where you put your lip to drink out of the bottle, whereas the Hydro Flask has a smooth flush top edge. The smooth lip on the Hydro Flask makes it more durable and easier to clean, but it''s also more comfortable to drink from and less prone to spills. I find the rolled edge on the lip of the Klean Kanteen a bit uncomfortable and more prone to spills when drinking.

As other reviewers have mentioned the Hydro Flask insulation is amazing. I tested it by filling it up with cold water from my fridge and leaving it out on a summer night. The next morning I tried the water and it was still ice cold. The insulation also allows this flask to be used with hot liquids, whereas the Klean Kanteen is not insulated and very hot liquids would make the bottle too hot to touch. The insulation (and possibly the higher quality steel) does make the Hydro Flask bottle a bit heavier, so if you are looking for the lightest bottle possible then the Klean Kanteen might be a better choice.

After using the Hydro Flask for several days there is no metal taste at all, everything I put in it tastes exactly like it should.

The Hydro Flask is a well made bottle and everything about it seems superior to the Klean Kanteen bottles to me. If you are on the fence about which stainless steel water bottle to try, I highly recommend this one.

When the water bottles are full, the carrier is heavy AND it is hard on the hand because the handle is very narrow and digs into your fingers. Other than that, though, it is great and looks good with the bottles!

The picture as advertised is a bottle carrier and bottles in the carrier! all I got was the carrier no bottles as pictured I find this very shady. and now i am stuck with it. Ed

Gaiam 750ml Aluminum Water Bottle (Grass) Save 49% off

I love the look of this bottle but I feel like such an idiot thinking the squirt nozzle would work on a metal water bottle! It doesn''t! You can''t squeeze the water out of the bottle so the water just dribbles out of the top and if you try sucking the water out, you get some water but a lot of air. It''s honestly pretty useless as a beverage container purely because of the cap design. So frustrating!

I bought this water bottle for both its value and its "sport cap". I wanted a new water bottle to use for workouts and after runs, and I have been utterly disappointed with this bottle.

The bottle itself is good quality and looks nice (though it dents easily). The so called "sport cap" however leaks and makes it nearly impossible to get to the water when you need to. It restricts the flow to a measly dribble. Sucking on the cap only mixes air in with your water. Not good at all.

I suppose there could be situations where this bottle could be useful, but if you plan to use it for sports of any kind (as the name misled me to believe) your money will be much better spent elsewhere.

This was purchased as a gift. It seemed to be well received, had a quality stylish paint job and the bottle didn''t add any abnormal tastes to the water. Recommended.

Want Gaiam 750ml Aluminum Water Bottle (Grass) Discount?

I mean I don''t have much to complain about. It''s a water bottle and it holds water, that''s kinda the only thing I care about. That said, the sport cap is a bit difficult to drink from and I find myself just unscrewing the entire cap, that''s really just a personal preference. Also, I''ve had it for a few weeks now and the paint is already chipping from the Gaiam logo and a bit from the grass design. Other than that it''s a great product. I''ve seen other aluminum type bottles and they''re much flimsier and dent much easier, so far mine has not dented and it feels much sturdier. I would say buy this, it''s environmentally friendly and it saves a lot of money otherwise spent buying plastic bottles.

M3 Plus Indoor Cycle

I can''t think of too many things I enjoy more than cycling. I usually will ride 1500 miles or more during a typical summer and in the off-season I take spinning classes or use the spin bike I have in my basement. I''ve owned several different, and far less expensive, spin bikes over the last few years and I can say without reservation that this M3 Plus bike is truly amazing. For reference, I own a Sole Fitness SB700: Sole Fitness SB700 Exercise Bike and my first spin bike was the entry level ProForm 290 SPX: ProForm 290 SPX Indoor Cycle Trainer

First impressions are that it looks like it should be in the Museum of Modern Art. It is just beautiful and minimalist in design. Although it looks minimalist, it certainly has no lack of features. For me, the most important feature improvement that the M3 Plus has over the With Computer Keiser M3 Indoor Cycle Stationary Indoor Trainer Exercise Bike is that Keiser addressed the issue of handlebar adjustment. The M3 had no capability to adjust the fore/aft position of the handlebar. That caused some issues for some people to get a good fit with the bike. The main reason there was a fit issue was that as you moved the handlebar to a higher position, the handlebar moves further forward since it is angled in the frame. If you are long-legged that means you have to move the saddle height up quite a bit and move the seat back, to get a proper knee over foot position. Unfortunately this also means that you need to move the handlebars up and since moving the handlebars up also moves them forward due to the angle, it results in a very stretched forward position that makes spinning difficult and actually puts you in an uncomfortable position on the bike.

That issue has vanished with the M3 Plus which now has a fore/aft adjustment for the handlebars. This eliminates the potential fit problem and makes the bike just about perfect.

The bike is virtually silent in operation. Your hard breathing will make more noise than the bike...seriously. The saddle is very comfortable and I''d say it is one of the most comfortable saddles I''ve used on a spin bike.

The resistance is adjusted by a very precise gear-lever located very conveniently on the near side base of the handlebar. What is notable about the resistance mechanism is that it does not rely on friction by pads on the flywheel, but by magnetic resistance. Since there is nothing actually rubbing on the wheel, that makes it smooth, non-pulsating and absolutely quiet.

The computer included with this bike is also excellent. The LCD digits are large and easy to see. The resistance level you have chosen is displayed on the computer as a "gear" and this is fantastic because it lets you consistently choose the same level of resistance predictably instead of guessing as you would with a pad-based friction mechanism.

The computer also displays your cadence (RPM), Power Output, Heart Rate, Elapsed Time, Gear (resistance level) and Odometer/trip distance. Another cool feature I like but don''t see in action that often is the automatically backlit display. A sensor on the computer automatically activates the backlight when it needs to.

I''m 6''2" and weigh 208lb. The bike is stable and seems quite solid to me. It doesn''t rock, sway or move in any way that I can percieve when I''m spinning...even if my cadence is quite high.

One final thing that almost seems minor is I really like the "gravity" water bottle platform. It''s nice not to have to fight a cage when getting your water bottle in/out.

I really like the M3 Plus. It''s got a great warranty, is well-constructed and operates about as good as a spinning bike could operate. If you are debating whether it could possibly be worth the money, I would say yes it is. Go ride a few $400-$600 spin bikes then hop on the M3. I think you''ll immediately realize, as I did, that you''re on an entirely different machine. The quality of construction will likely out last several of the el-cheapo bikes.

If you are serious about spinning and cycling you should really consider the Keiser M3 Plus. You might be able to get the M3 and save some money if you are not particularly tall or short since the more adjustable handlebar is really the only significant difference between the two bikes.

I did not want to pay over $1000 for an indoor bike. But the feature that I most wanted was the magnetic resistance which no bike under $1000 has. It came down to the Schwinn AC Performance and the Keiser M3 Plus for my top two contenders. I recently lost a lot of weight and reaped a whole host of health benefits from it--much of that due to my new-found love of biking. I wanted to bring that indoors for winter and bad weather days. If I have to spend over $1000, then so be it--health trumps cost right?

The M3 Plus arrived in great shape from UPS ground. It is well-packaged (unlike the biased video on youtube by S*****Cycles) and I doubt you would have any problems with shipping damage. Setup took just 30 minutes and unlike assembling furniture, there aren''t a lot of pieces/parts to it. I did get a sense of how well the bike is made and designed. While I wouldn''t call it heavy duty construction, for your typical home, it is very well made.

PROS:

-magnetic resistance

-"gears" controlled by lever and readout on computer

-quiet drive belt

-adjustability: seat up/down/fore/aft, handlebars up/down/fore/aft.

-multi-position handle bars

-built-in computer: RPM (cadence), ELAPSED TIME, HEART RATE (Polar compatible), WATTS, GEAR, TRIP/ODO distance.

-dual platform/SPD Shimano Pedals

-designed and manufactured in the USA!

-backlit LCD (although rather dim)

CONS:

-distance on computer is arbitrary unit.

-no performance analysis on computer

-cost.

COMMENTS:

I would definitely pay the extra premium to get the handlebar adjustability of the M3 "PLUS". Fitment is key!

Computer: Some competitors charge more than $150 extra and may not be as useful or integrated with the unit as this one is. Also, the "gears" display is something that is very worthwhile as you can go select any gear and know exactly what kind of resistance it has--no guessing and adjusting continously. The computer is very useful, especially with HR monitoring with an optional Polar Wearlink Coded 31 Transmitter (recommended). Read up on target heart rate zone. One note: The distance/ODO is an arbitrary unit of distance. It is not miles or km. Every 200 revolutions is counted as 1 unit of distance. Would have been nice to have Keiser calibrate this distance to your typical road bike wheel size (ie. 700x25). Re: performance analysis, I am talking some HR monitors will estimate calories burned, time in heart rate zone, average HR, etc. The computer is very basic. However, you can pay attention to energy expended (WATTS) and try to maintain or increase that from workout to workout. In any case, use the computer to your advantage--whether it be maximizing workout distance, maintaining heart rate zone, maximizing energy expended, maintaining cadence, upping the "gear", etc.

I love how quiet this unit is. You can watch tv or listen to music without turning up the sound to absurdly high levels. Some units are chain based and make a lot of racket or require servicing for time to time.

The Shimano pedals are the exact same ones I use on my Trek hybrid bike! Tip: go get some bike shoes and Shimano SM-SH56 SPD Cleat Set. You can go stand pedal or pedal hard without worry about losing grip. I do not like the cage so I removed those with two screws on each pedal.

Lastly, keep your M3 Plus looking and working great by keeping it clean, lubing the key points outlined in the manual, and wax some select surfaces with car polish.

This is quite simply the best spin bike there is. I have researched spin bikes for the past 2 years, and have had a bad experience with one. The bike is compact, sturdy, incredibly easy to adjust, and whisper quiet. Its infinitely adjustable, which is a rarity. Now it has the fore and aft adjustable handlebars, making it even better. The pedals can be easily swapped out. Basically, you can customize this bike to be anything you want it to be. I had trouble moving a heavy flywheel on other spin bikes. This one is magnetic going from gear 1 to 24. It is so easy to use, you feel like you''re missing steps. Its smooth as silk and I found it to feel better than using a bike on a trainer. Don''t even look at another spin bike. Get this one. For a person with physical ailments to someone who is an elite cyclist, this one would work for anyone. I can''t say enough good things about it. The price might seem high, but for what you are getting, its worth every penny and then some.

Product arrived quickly and was well packed so no damage. Easy to assemble in less than an hour. Some specialty tools were requested but not really required. Only 4 main parts. When riding the adjustments on the bike are easy to operate and allow you to finely adjust based on how hard you want to ride. I like 3 minute intervals and moving back and forth is easy and quick. The best part is the quiet operation and the heavy duty construction of the parts that will clearly last a long time. I have 4 different machines in my home gym and it is already my favorite. It is so quiet you can use even early in the morning without worrying about waking anyone. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a well made exercise machine. Both me and my husband are now racing to wake up and be the first one on the bike.

Blackburn Mountain Bicycle Water Bottle Cage

The photo for this item is incorrect. For the silver color, it is not silver. Rather it is a kind of matte gray color. The photo would suggest that it is of a material that is, in fact, shiny silver in color itself. Instead, the item is finished with the matte gray. Also, it is of wider gauge metal and has a large nub at the peak of the front curve (for holding the bottle). In my case, I am concerned about the aesthetics and so these were disappointing deviations from my expectation. So, I would complain that the photo is inaccurate and falsely advertises the product. It is, however, functionally consistent with my expectations.

This is a relatively simple product, but as far as I can tell, it''s of good quality and will hold up for a long time. In my experience, the main problem with water bottle cages is either rusting or losing their ''grab'' (being bent or otherwise losing their shape so they don''t hold your bottles anymore). These are extremely lightweight (aluminum) but still thick and sturdy -they have not changed shape one bit, but still have the flexibility to make placing/removing bottles a breeze on the go.

Installation was a snap -pre-drilled holes lined up perfectly with the factory holes on my bike''s frame (Trek), just be sure you retain the screws that come with the bike (none included with cages). Didn''t bother timing it, but there''s absolutely no way it took more than 120 seconds (most of that time was spent cranking the Allen wrench).

Also, because they are aluminum, rust/corrosion isn''t a problem. I use them on a road bike as I don''t trust the plastic cages many road-riders use (have a tendency to break them). My old cages were made of some sort of steel (or other heavy metal...), and these feel just as strong but much more lightweight. They fit my bike''s finish well, and feel strong enough to last a lifetime. I will update if anything changes, but as of now, they seem to be excellent cages.

The cage I received wasn''t the one shown in the picture, it was this one instead:

Bike shops in my area charge upwards of $15 for aluminum water bottle cages without PLANET BIKE or TOPEAK printed on them, so it was worth it to me to wait for shipping.
