12 PK Travel Camping Magic Compressed Towels & Waterproof Case

I just received the magic towels and not the waterproof case with water bottle carabiner, for some reason. This is a gift so will go with what I received as I am from Canada and it would be too much of a hassle to send back etc. Will be interesting to see how these little things expand!!!

Elite VIP Universal Cage Mount 22-50mm Save 37% off

Decent idea, and fastens somewhat securely .... until you put a full bottle in the cage and it begins to move around a little. The interface between the strap and the mounting point seems like it would wrap more securely on larger diameter tubes, i.e. aluminum or carbon frames with oversized tubes, not the older 1" steel tubes that are most likely to need additional cages.

The way the serrated strap attaches to its mating serrated clip is terrible. Hard to describe in words without a close up pic, but there is nothing to hold it together except friction. There is no cover to hold it all together. It needs to be like a zip tie, probably isn''t because of patent issues? Had to use duct tape, otherwise it will pop apart and be useless. And after you cut the extra part of the strap, it would be real hard to get it back together, since there''s nothing to grab onto to insert the strap into the clip and turn the screw. Good idea in principle, hope they can make it better, hard to find products like this for us old-school bike guys.

Holds the water bottle and cage with out any problems thus far. You have to follow the pictures on the package exactly to get it to tighten down on your frame. ie make sure the head of the bolt is flush against the hole in the strap portion with the tip of the bolt in the tightening block, put it on your frame, pull the strap tight and put it in the tightening block and then turn the bolt to tighten the strap. (this will be clearer with the parts in front of you) It was not hard to apply and didn''t take long. For my smaller diameter tubing I pre-bent/shaped the strap at the plastic mount for a better fit.

I bought this and the Zefal Gizmo to try on my vintage folding bike. I''ve now ridden both and rate the Zefal as okay and the Elite VIP the better of the two. No worries about getting the right size with this one and it holds tighter.

Vapur 16 Ounce Flexible Collapsible Water Bottle (Smoke) Save 9% off

VAPUR - The Anti-Bottle, Water Bottle - Smoke

I love this since I keep this filled with water & put in freezer so it is ready to go when I go out. I live in the desert so it is really important to have this available & that it is foldable afterwards is really cool.

This bottle is made in China, not the USA. The Vapur brand name does not have a trademark on it. The included carabiner is much smaller and thinner than the one included with authentic Vapur models. Construction is very similar. I have not used it yet, but it looks like it should hold up like an authentic Vapur bottle.

I received this product quickly but it was not Smoke, I was shipped purple. I took this to Europe and it was great for the traveling. I recommend this product.

One of the 2 bottles I purchased has a slow leak. I will not purchase this type/brand anymore and plan to look for alternatives. Amazon offered a refund which makes me feel a lot better .

I carry this ultra portable water bottle with me in my murse everywhere I go (it''s especially great at movies!). The more you drink, the less room it takes up. It''s extremely light weight and durable and is relatively easy to clean.

I would highly recommend this to a friend.

Klean Kanteen 27 oz Stainless Steel Water Bottle - Glacier White

Pros

It''s light. Perfect size for fitting in cup holders & backpack bottle holders. Ice cubes fit (but barely).

BPA-Free 16 Ounces Acrylic Tumbler (Double Wall) Save 89% off

BPA-Free 16 Ounces Acrylic Tumbler with Straw, Double Wall, Citrus Orange

I truly love the tumblers I ordered! The straws have a ring near the bottom to keep them from falling out. They clean easily and the 20 oz size accommodates enough ice to keep your drink cold. I performed a simple experiment to compare the tumblers to Styrofoam cups and the tumbler won hands down! I filled both with crushed ice and put a lid and straw on the Styrofoam cup to mimic the tumbler. I took both outside in 100 degree weather and set them side by side in the sun for the same amount of time. When I brought them back inside I compared the condensation and how much ice melted. The tumbler had a small amount of moisture on the outside and a little melting inside. The Styrofoam cup had much more condensation on the outside and more ice melted. So, good bye Styrofoam! Hello eco-friendly acrylic tumblers! I will purchase more!

The tumblers arrived quickly, were well packaged, and have been great to use. Cups do sweat a tiny bit when extremely hot, but drinks stayed cold. Solid tumblers at a great price.

My wife loves these tumblers. They keep the cold drinks cold for hours, and fit nicely in the car''s cupholders. This seller also has extra straws for sale.

This cup is so amazing! Lightweight, washes in the dishwasher well, doesn''t sweat, and if you tip it over only a small amount of liquid spills out the hole where the straw is, none from the rim. I have 5 of them---one for each of us. Highly recommend this item.

I ordered 17 of these double-walled acrylic tumblers to personalize and give to my guests at my destination wedding.

They were shipped out the day after I ordered them. Unfortunately, the vendor sent them via Fed Ex, which always takes to much longer than UPS, but it''s not their fault.

The tumblers are durable and the tops screw on. I am very happy with them and would order more if I ever have a need to again.

Arctic Zone 1/2 Gallon IceCOLD Hydration Jug Save 15% off

I had awesome bottles that I''ve had for years. Silly me can''t remember who made them and someone stole them a few days ago. I was on the hunt to find my old ones. I came across these that were similar but the reviews weren''t so good. I got them anyway. The cold pack cannot be taken out it has to be left in or the lid cannot close, it will continuously turn and it will also leak as it is not closed properly. I think an extra gasket in the lid will solve the problem. I know this is a hassle but if you are looking for something specific......... I am.

This is my second purchase of the item. I loved my first one and used it everyday for 10 years. The thermos does stay cold for up to 8 hours with half of the space as ice; the other half liquid but not in a closed car in the heat. The lid started to leak and the shoulder strap was ripping at the seams so I decided to purchase a new one. The new one isn''t as good as the old. The lid keeps turning around and around. The pour spout doesn''t work as well either. It''s very slow to pour out a glass of liquid. The original one was in royal blue not silver and didn''t get as dirty. The outside cover of thermos is washable. I washed my original one 2 or 3 times a year.

This item is just what I was looking for. I don''t have to sqeeze it to get water out of it and when I fill it 1/3 the way up and freeze the water in it and fill it up the rest of the way it will stay cool all day.

I also like the drinking spout you can get the water out easily without spilling it down the front of you.

I bought this jug years ago at Wal-Mart and have used it daily since. I play the drums and used it as the water jug at my feet to hydrate while playing shows. I now have it next to my living room chair and use it as my regular water supply. Perfect. The small water bottles don''t carry enough water for me and the nylon, rip-stop cover and carrying strap makes it easy to transport. It can be removed for washing. Your hand fits in the jug opening to wash completely. I just came to Amazon to buy one for my husband.

Origin8 Alloy Bottle Cage Bolts (Black) Save 12% off

Origin8 Alloy Bottle Cage Bolts, Bag of 10 - Black

I got the black for this bike because it goes better with the color scheme meaning you do not see them much :)

Be careful with the wrench as they will strip the thread or the head if you try to tighten them as you do the steel ones. They are aluminum.

They are water bottle cage bolts. They''re black. They screw into holes on your bike frame. Not a very sexy product. They work, and the black looks better than the silver bolts you usually see. Don''t expect to stop traffic, so people can ask about your black cage bolts.

Katadyn Combi Water Microfilter

i have had my katadyn combi since 1995 it gives you not only safe drinking water but good tasting with the carbon filter and it''s cheaper then the katadyn pocket filter made of plastic but it''s really tough. i found if you use a coffee filter on the hose the ceramic filter lasts longer

My wife and I bought this for back-country camping in the UP of Michigan and it worked awesome. The filter is very sturdy and well built. I was not worried about "breaking it" when we were using it. It also is fairly simple design and straightforward to take apart. Plus, it provided good tasting water!!

We are looking forward to taking it to Isle Royale and giving it a good workout there!

UPDATE 6/3/10 We have used this filter multiple times now (Porkie''s SP in MI, Isle Royale, Pictured Rocks NLS, backpacking in Utah) it has stood the test of repeat use over a few years now!

Continues to work well for our backpacking trips. No issues with it, as long as you take care of it (clean it after every trip; when you put new charcoal in it, clean the ceramic filter after pumping water through it; use a coffee filter on the end to help keep the ceramic in better shape). Good product, I like the design of the pump. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a good filter.

Buy Katadyn Combi Water Microfilter Now

I used the Combi for three months in Nepal. The filter allowed me to avoid polluting that beautiful country with hundreds of empty mineral water bottles. Another excellent reason to schlep your own filter is that travelers who must buy their drinking water tend on average to drink much less than the body needs. With a Combi you will spend less, pollute less, and enjoy consistently clean, good-tasting water. I do suggest traveling with a few more activated carbon refills than you anticipate you''ll need. The water quality in developing countries can be rather poor. Replacing the carbon often keeps the water tasting good and provides additional peace of mind. Be careful about taking the Combi to cold climates -the wet ceramic element will crack if allowed to freeze.

After reading and reading some more about portable ceramic water filters I settled on the Combi by Katadyn. I was NOT disappointed when I started to use it. I bought the counter top attachment so I can use the spout to fill any container needed. The extra $ was well worth it versus trying to use a screw on bottle under the filter. I used this filter with the charcoal at home trying to filter out all the added salt that my community uses in their "water softener" system to no avail. It did not take out the salt but that''s okay. I discovered an artesian mineral spring 2 miles from my home that I use now for my drinking water. I am definitely keeping my Combi and extra ceramic filter for emergency use for times when I have to leave my home and be on the road. I know how easy it is to pump and get water and how easy it is to use with the faucet adapter. I was saddened when it wouldn''t take out the salt from my home water but it did improve the water''s taste!! I figure if I need to use this water filter in an emergency situation I won''t have to worry about nasty tasting water that has bacteria in it. This is a very lightweight system that can be easily put into a backpack. The plastic is very tough as well. I don''t feel that it will be easily damaged. With a new filter I''ll be set for years of good, clean water if need be. Trust me. I shopped long and hard before I spent my hard earned $ on just ANY water filter. I owned Brita pitcher (would not recommend), a PUR faucet model, a Dupont faucet model and a few other assorted big name brands. I found that you could not take them "with you" when you travel to get clean water like you can the Combi. I needed something for a survival or emergency kit and this little filter did the job. It also will definitely outlast a Berkey Lite filter anyday. I liked the fact that Katadyn tells you just how many gallons of fresh water you will get out of one cartridge. Other companies don''t even come close to the cartridge life expectancy. Would highly recommend getting the Combi WITH the faucet adapter because you get the outflow hook up that fits on the bottom of the unit that''s literally worth it''s weight in gold for filling up coffee pots, tea pots, cooking pots where there is no screw top attachment!! Just hold it up in the air a few inches and voila instand water fountain!! I love mine and glad I did some heavy duty research to get the best the first time out.

Great water filter, I''d recommend it to anyone going backpacking and camping. We do use it together with a Steripen, though, just to make sure.

But the combination of the carbon filter plus the ceramic filter is great and the best choice! Water tastes fantastic! First we were worried that the "plastic" wouldn''t be too durable, but it''s very rugged and survived dropping on stone etc so I am confident it''s going to last a long time. Definitely worth the money, and although not the lightest, we carry it along for backpacking and it''s fine. Pumping only became harder after 3-4 days, so take the sponge with you to wash the filter in between.

Portable Stainless Steel 100ML Water Cup for Camping Hiking Mountaineering Silver

This cup is exactly as advertised, nice little cup, and I do mean little. Cup holds 3/4 cup of liquid when it completely full without the lid. The size is the only reason it only got 3 stars. Well made, with a lid and mesh carry bag.

One use, then put back in gym bag and left in vehicle. Next day, film over smartphone screen permanently foggy. Can still use, but looks "cheap".

I was looking for a basic armband for walking and the price for this one was right. The collapsible water bottles were just an extra, but they have come in handy for long walks on hot days.
