Great American Washington Capitals 2-Pack Pint Ale Glass Set

NHL Washington Capitals Two Piece Pint Ale Glass Set - Primary Logothese are nice looking glasses, but we were very disappointed. we ordered the glasses, because we liked the use of the old caps logo. however, the glasses we received looked nothing like this. they have the new caps logo, which is nice, but it''s not what we ordered and not what we wanted.

MSR Dromedary Bag Spigot Cap

MSR Dromedary Bag Spigot CapStrapped on top of, or stashed inside the hull hatch of my Perception kayak, the MSR Dromedary bag is very versatile. Water previously was hauled in a cheap "collapsible" jug which slid around and began to leak after only a few uses. The only fault I had with the MSR was the three-in-one cap that comes with it... you either had a small dribble or a gusher. The spigot cap solved the issue. If you think the MSR Dromedary Bag is a great water carrier for backpacking or paddle sports, then you will find the spigot cap makes an already great product even better!

This product is constructed of good quality plastic from what I can tell. It appears to be durable, and it serves the purpose of allowing your bag to be used as temporary faucet quite well. I would add, however, that if you plan on using this cap in order to transport your water bag...think again. This cap does NOT seal good enough, and will allow some water to leak out. This cap is good for stationary use, but not as a water tight cap.

Buy MSR Dromedary Bag Spigot Cap Now

I purchased the MSR Dromedary Bag Spigot Cap for my MSR 6L DromLite Bag in order to use it as a base camp "wash station" on camping trips. Just hang the bag from a tree and the spigot cap allows you to wash your hands right at the campsite without having to hike to the nearest rest area, water station, or stream. The spigot allows complete control of the output of water from a trickle to a full flow, much like any faucet does. Hang the Dromedary bag higher up and I suppose you could use this spigot to turn your bag into a makeshift shower as well.

I change this with the default cover and it works better, attach with my old camp shower head and I can use it as a tap/shower.

No Rinse Body Wash (1 bottle)

No Rinse Body WashA friend used this product when a cast on her leg prevented normal bathing. You can''t foretell such an accident so I thought it would be a good idea to have some on hand. Turns out it''s very handy if your pipes freeze or you lose power, both of which are bathing nightmares. I''m thinking of adding a bottle to the barn for use after caring for a sick animal, or for freshening during such long dirty jobs as clipping horses or cleaning stalls. I''ve already added the large bathing wipes. Very useful product, which leaves skin feeling refreshed, clean smelling and not at all sticky.

Used this every day for two weeks camping on the dusty playa in the Nevada desert. Fantastic stuff and kept us feeling pretty clean. All it takes is a few squirts on a paper towel or maybe two to give a fairly good quick clean.

Good product. Took on 4-day hiking trip and used both as body wash and sanitizer. Definitely felt cleaner and more comfortable that I would have without it; good alternative when water for washing isn''t readily available.

hard product to find in the stores. Good to find it online. My disabled dad can''t live without it. He uses it in the weekends when there''s no one around to help bathe him.

4 Sport Life Pro 40 Shaker Save 18% off

4 Sport Life Pro 40 ShakerI live in Brazil so I couldn''t order this item from Amazon. When I first saw it in a local shop here, I was really excited about it because it has a very nice design and the idea of the shaker is pretty good. Being able to store powder and liquid separately could be useful for many people.

Then, I came to Amazon.com as I always do before buying a product, in order to read the reviews. For my surprise, the reviews were really bad and I was disappointed. As it isn''t very expensive I decided to give it a try anyway.

After 1 week using it, here are my impressions:

The plastic is really strong and feels high quality

The cup is really large. It can store up to 550ml(18.6oz) of liquid. (Maybe more, but then you lose the space you need for shaking it)

The colors are also really nice. (Sometimes the products don''t match the advertisement picture, but this one is as good-looking as advertised)

When using ON Gold Standard Whey and shaking vigorously it mixes perfectly. I tried mixing with a spoon once and also with a small electric mixer but it wasn''t as well dissolved as after 40-50seconds of vigorous shaking.

It does NOT have any strong plastic smell you usually notice in cheap bottles.

And most importantly, it did NOT leak in any ways. I followed the instructions provided with the shaker and I haven''t experience any leakage at all. The powder stays in the right compartment, I''ve tried to shake it while still closed, to see if it leaked and mixed with the water. Nothing. The water kept clean. After I opened it, I shook it in order to mix and it didn''t leak in the inside cap or to the exterior of the bottle. No leaking at all.

However, as you can see, I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Why is it ?

It''s because this shaker has one really big downside. The powder compartment is too small.

What is the point having such a big cup when it can barely store 1&1/2 round scoops ?

If the reservoir was bigger I''d certainly give it 5 stars because it works perfectly as described.

I love this shaker.

Apparently others are having issues with leaking and the powder not mixing, I too was a little confused at first, but READ THE DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY and this thing works like a charm (ex. the top lid clicks twice so nothing leaks, and the order of how you screw down the different pieces is important so the chamber stays like a vacuum). Fits about a 1.5 scoops easily and shakes out to perfectly smooth mixture. This thing also looks pretty awesome if you ask me.

If you want a simple protein shaker, no frills and easy to clean, then I would suggest look elsewhere. If you dont mind a 5 minute learning curve and some moving parts, give this thing a shot!

The Shaker Pro is made in Germany and it shows. Its a highly technical design (for a shaker bottle) that takes a bit of learning but it works flawlessly. It has about 5 parts and screws together three different ways. Once you learn how to work it, however, it NEVER leaks. Not a drop. I''ve tried all the others; sooner or later, they all leak. One reviewer said it was "cheap" plastic, which perplexed me because the quality is much better than the rest of the junk out there. After a year and a half it doesn''t show a bit of wear.

No, I''m not astounded at how great this cup is, but at all the reviewers who are complaining about how these cups suck and leak like crazy. I give these people 2 stars out of 5 at life. While properly using this cup does require slightly more brain power and work than let''s say, oh a normal blender ball cup. It''s not rocket science, and it comes with directions, directions with pictures at that! This cup works, this cup does not leak, this is a high quality cup and it looks pretty nice to boot imho. Only reason I didn''t give it 5 stars is because I wish it had a small screw on compartment on the bottom for pills. On my quest to become the next Arnold I''m constantly popping pills. If they make a version with this I will buy it and give it 5 stars. I''m still blown away at the reviews stating how these leak so badly. Maybe I should make a 12 minute tutorial video on Youtube so these people can become educated in the tricky art of using a cup. A suggestion for these reviewers, maybe you should stick to a spill proof sippy cup like my 2 year old niece uses. And don''t feel too bad you can''t figure out a cup, I''m pretty sure my niece would have problems with the Pro 40 cup too. So take solace in the fact you''re not alone here.

Cons: spout on top could be a big bigger, and would be better if closer to the side, but both of those are just personal preferences. Also they could have included one of those wire wisks, they do work beautifully and could only aid in the mixing process here. Not that this cup does a bad job, I also like those wisks because when I shake it makes a uberly annoying sound my roommates don''t like much. Which is probably multiplied by the fact I tend to shake my protein shakes for 2 solid minutes as hard as I can. And if I don''t chug it, I''m capping and re-shaking it every few sips.

Also to the reviews complaining about how it leaves a lot of clumps, might I suggest a better brand of protein? BSN''s Syntha-6 & MusclePharm''s Combat both mix extremely well and leave no clumps in this cup. And lastly, to people complaining about it being to small, it holds a decent amount of liquid, seeing how the powder resivour is fairly small and only holds 40 grams (hence the name pro 40) I think it holding the amount of liquid it does makes sense. They have the Pro 60, which holds about 10 more ounces of water + 20 more grams of powder. And the Pro 100 which holds something like 40 ounces and 100 grams of powder. If you need something larger than the Pro 100, I suggest you use a Double Gulp(tm) cup from 7-11 to mix your protein shakes in. UMMMMM 64 ounce MusclePharm Combat Cookies N Cream flavored protein shake!

Takes a little getting used to, but corrects a major problem with having to wait to mix you pre, or post workout drink. Very convenient and makes a lot of sense. Simply add your mix at the top and liquid below, tighten it up, keep upright in meantime...and simply twist top clock-wise and shake...perfectly mixed.

Camelbak Podium Big Chill 25 oz Bottle Save 9% off

Camelbak Podium Big Chill 25 oz Bottle, Clear/CarbonThe Podium Chill bottles changed my life. Okay, so maybe that''s a little much.

First off, the basic Podium design is almost flawless. Probably the closest thing to the "perfect" bike bottle. The original Podium Chills are a perfectly-sized insulated bottle that fits snugly and comfortably into the hand. A LOT of water can be delivered quickly with very little squeezing, due to the easily squeezed polyethylene and nozzle design. The chewy silicone lid nozzle has a lockout feature. The water TASTES better coming from the TruTaste polyethylene. No more of that plastic-y water taste, and no more BPA in your bloodstream. The insulation really does keep the water colder much longer, especially if there is ice in the water. Really, once you eliminate leaks (which Camelbak did) there''s not much you can do to improve it, except maybe make it bigger. 20 oz goes fast for someone like me. I drink a lot of water.

The Big Chill got me excited because I was able to now hold quite a bit more water: 25 oz instead of 20! Doesn''t sound like much, but with two of these on the bike, you have a lot more water to sip.

Main complaint with the Big Chill is that it''s a little too hard to squeeze. Either they made it out of thicker plastic or they changed the grip design, I don''t know. I feel like to get the same amount of water compared to a smaller Podium Chill I have to squeeze quite a bit harder. Just doesn''t feel as good as the smaller Chills. No big deal, I have strong-ish hands, but someone with small hands will likely have a bit of a problem with it.

These bottles are easily marred by painted bottle cages. I suggest using composite or plastic cages with these to avoid leaving paint abrasion marks, which happened on mine.

I actually damaged my lid by scraping it on a wall, causing it to crack and leak water. Camelbak generously provided a new lid free of charge, without any fuss. Awesome.

Also, these bottles do take up a bit more real estate in the bike frame triangle. If you ride a size small or extra small frame you may not be able to fit this bottle into your cages, or it will be difficult to maneuver them out of the cages. Larger frames have no problem, obviously.

This bottle is a great bottle for cyclists, and people in general. I recommend it to every one of my friends. I just wish it came in a Podium Ice version, which would provide more insulation

Picked up one from my local bike shop for one penny more ($14.00 + tax). Big deal. The Camelbak bottle is soooo much better than a Polar Insulated Water Bottle. How can a water bottle be open & not spill or leak when turned upside down? I''m still trying to figure this one out. According to the Camelbak website, "...our innovative Jet Valve(TM) ensures you''re drinking the water, not wearing it."

What this new valve means in practical terms is, no more "two handed operation" to open or close the top; no more pulling the top open with your teeth as you pedal along & then slapping it against your side to close it. This new bottle from Camelbak is soooo much better than an Insulated Polar Water Bottle.

Yes, it will tightly seal all the way with a twist of the top. But for normal conditions, just keep it open. Cool water will NOT come out until you gently sqeeze on it. And that''s another thing the Polar Bottle will not do. With the Polar Bottle, you''ll need more than a "gentle squeeze".

Buy Camelbak Podium Big Chill 25 oz Bottle Now

The Camelbak Podium Big Chill 25 oz. water bottle is a very nice addition to my road bike. It''s too tall for my Specialized Mountain Bike but fits well under my Giant''s Defy-2 cross member. It''s five more oz. than the standard water bottle. And it''s the maximum height allowable in an upright water bottle cage to easily pull it out while pedaling. Nice colors, insulated and has "easy water access" via their patented water release mechanism. There''s no need to re-cap the top, it simply shuts off when you release from drinking! Camelbak puts out good quality products and this is no different.

For several years Polar and Camelback insulated water bottles have been key components of my workout and cycling gear. After three years of use, my Polar insulated water bottle started leaking so I decided to give the Big Chill a try. While the Big Chill is a bit larger than my previous water bottles, I don''t see any major improvements in flow or insulation capabilities. It is a solid water bottle overall but I would prefer better insulation, even if it meant sacrificing capacity.

In general, water bottles of this design are able to keep a 50/50 ice-water combination cold for several hours, such as 3 hours in a backpack before a workout and then an additional two during. Likewise, when cycling leisurely for 3+ hours during 75-85 degree heat, the contents stay cold. Problems arise when cycling in extremely hot (95+ degrees) weather. During the July 2012 heat wave where the temperatures were over 100 degrees, the Big Chill''s contents kept cool for less than two hours. Obviously, this is an extreme example but is something to keep in mind if you are going for long rides in hot weather.

Overall, I have been happy with Big Chill flow, contents and overall design. With a good cage, it has no problem staying on the bicycle. Moreover, it doesn''t leak (as of yet) so long as the cap is very tight. One tip for the Big Chill or other water bottles: get into the habit of always leaving it freezer when not in use even if you are in someone else''s house. The bottle can then be used for years without concern over bacteria or mold growth.

Pros

Large capacity

Nice flow

Open/close rotary switch

Insulation better than straight plastic

Cons

Not enough insulation for extremely hot +95 degree F weather

Want Camelbak Podium Big Chill 25 oz Bottle Discount?

I bought the Camelbak Podium Big Chill 25oz bottle for the main purpose of taking to the Gym and on hikes. I have been very impressed with the durability (dropped numerous times) and the ease of flow. You can either squeeze the bottle practically anywhere to drink the water, or suck the water out. Both ways work very well so there are no problems there.

The lock on top of the nozzle is a genius idea. This bottle will not spill if that lock is on. Even with the lock off, no water still escapes until you want to drink. I really only need to use the lock feature if I put it in a backpack during a hike to really be sure it won''t leak.

Design wise they really nailed it. Its easy to hold and this bigger 25oz bottle even allows you to jog with it. I don''t recommend it if you have smaller hands but I am an average size 6'' tall guy and I can jog a few miles holding it no problem. The water does stay colder longer as well and 25oz is the right amount for an hour or so workout.

It was worth every penny and I recommend you buy Camelbak as your next water bottle!

Red Cup Funny Vintage Beer Pong Table with Bottle Opener, Ball Rack and 6 Pong Balls, 8-FeetI got this for a gift for my husband. When we got it the table had bubbles all over, it was fixable and the company offered to replace it.

I love the design of the table, however, the decal is majorly bubbling/peeling and I''ve only used it twice. I''ve had to smooth it out with a credit card with some success but this shouldn''t even be an issue with the amount of money I paid for it.
