Buy Liberty Bottle Works Straight Up Bottle Now
I really like the idea of an American made bottle. It comes from recycled material as well. I have waited for these to be available for a few months and was glad to finally found a place that sold them. I was a little worried about the seal on the top, but it has never failed me. I hope they come out with a slightly smaller bottle in their Sky Blue color.Read Best Reviews of Liberty Bottle Works Straight Up Bottle Here
This bottle is easy to open and close, because they designed a unique cap that only requires a partial turn. The open space in the top of the cap can be used to stick your fingers through to get a better mechanical grip if you desire or need to. You could even use an object as a lever and stick it through the top of the cap and turn to open it. This is not like the top of a soda pop bottle where the two pieces are threaded and you have to turn it a bunch of times. The rim of the bottle is smooth except for 3 locking lugs, although they are smooth to the touch and you will not notice them while drinking. They provide for the locking of the cap with only a slight twist, it''s really cool and extremely convenient. The cap can stand on it''s head so the bottom seal will not get contaminated by setting it down. Because of the cap design, it is extremely easy to hold the cap and bottle in one hand while drinking. This can be achieved by putting a single finger through the top part of the cap. This bottle is available at an affordable price and is made in the USA. The materials are quality and are made of the safe food/drink grade plastic and metals. The bottle color has been durable and shows little signs of wear. The bottle does not get odors and is easy to clean anyway.My girlfriend has a water bottle obsession and I was geting tired of finding those stupid disposable bottles everywhere. I had previously purchased a plastic water bottle for her, which she loved for over a year until it started to "taste funny". I figured a metal bottle would be nice but her two requirements were that it had to be big and be able to get normal ice cubes into it. This one works great so far (about two weeks) and she realy likes the colr too.Soda Bottle Water Rocket Launcher Fabricated Parts Kit Save 21% off

The only minor draw back is that it does not have a built-in pressure gauge. That would be a nice additional-cost option.
I am glad I purchased this inexpensive kit instead of making several trips to the hardware store perfecting my own design.
We tried it out today, and it worked impressively on the first try. After several launches, it''s still working flawlessly without need for adjustment.
There isn''t a kid under 80 years old who won''t be impressed with what happens after the countdown.This package arrived today and I went straight to work assembling the rocket launcher from the PVC pieces and attachments. My work was slowed down by the fact that I wanted to demonstrate to my five year old son how this launcher was put together. I was trying to make this experience into an educational one. In our modern age products just arrive in the mail and they just work straight out of the box, remember the days when you had to be creative and constructive? Me too and I was trying to share that with my son.
After a few minutes of making my way through the instructions, which were excellently laid out for me, my son lost interest in the assembly portion of the project. He just wanted it to be launch time. So just so you know, assembly make take upwards of a half hour. You have to hunt down the needed tools and items (PVC cement, scissors, tape measure, screwdriver, etc.). After that there is aligning and adjusting the pieces so that they fit and look perfectly (I like things to be perfect when it comes to projects).
But after assembling all the pieces the largest amount of time is spent making the necessary adjustments to where the lip of the soda bottle meets up with the collar (you''ll know what I''m talking about when you get to this step). I had to use a little creativity and insert duct tape inside the collar to make a tight fit around the lip of the soda bottle. It seemed as if others had this same problem and as I saw it there is no other option, the collar would not be tight otherwise.
Once I had a good tight fit around the lip of the bottle I used an air compressor (with a tire pressure gauge attached to determine pressure) to pressurize the system. After about 50 lbs water will start leaking out around the sides (a bug that I think is inevitable without the use of rubber seals) but I just continued pressurizing until I was at about 90 lbs. The string on the collar mechanism will need some engineering to work properly but (and I don''t recommend this) what I dis was just pull the collar down by hand. That will send the bottle into orbit, ka-pow, my kids loved it. As for me I got a little wet and was off to chase down the bottle from the neighbors yard.
Overall, great product, lots of fun, but you will need to do some work-arounds to get this to work for you.

For my son''s 7yr old Birthday Party, we decided on a "rocket" theme. Each child decorated their own pop-bottle rocket with stickers and markers, then we launched them with this Rocket Launcher. We had to make a few adjustments several times, but like a real rocket launch, we just went into a "hold" mode. Everyone had a great time!Read Best Reviews of Soda Bottle Water Rocket Launcher Fabricated Parts Kit Here
This is a nice little kit put together with off-the-shelf parts but not something I would have been able to guess how to create myself. I figured I''d save five dollars and put it together with my son but it turned out that the extra materials (PVC cement and duct tape) was another ten dollars so nothing was saved. However the fun and educational value of putting it together ourselves was well worth it. We may be building something larger out of PVC material later so it gave us some good experience with the primer and cement.The trickiest part was the trigger mechanism. There were several hints about how to get it to work on the instructions (which are color with photos and very clear), but we still couldn''t get it to "lock" in place. Instead what I wound up doing was adding a few layers of duct tape to the inside of the trigger tube (large piece of PVC shown in the photo with bright red string) so that it would "stick" in place until it was pulled down.
We also had trouble getting it pumped up beyond about 40psi, even though the instructions suggested a max of 130psi. The water would leak out of the sides and we''d have to pull the trigger before it all leaked out. Even at 40psi however the bottle shot up dramatically about 50+ft in the air. I tried adding some greasy suntan lotion to help with the seal and that seemed to help a bit. We will have to experiment with it some more to see if the leakage can be reduced.
In all a very educational experience for my son and I.

If you have ever wanted to build one of these, but kept putting it off, this kit is a great way to just be done with it. Yes, any diy''er with half a brain and handful of tools could goto a local big box store and build a few of these for cheaper, but for guys like me, buying this kit took it from being something I talked about doing to something I actually did.It works well built as seller intended and we are having fun with it.

Arundel Mandible Water Bottle Cage

It has just the right amount of holding power. Not too much, and not too little. Not much is worse than hitting a pothole, train crossing, or rough segment of road during a race and losing one of your water bottles. I''ve had bottles go flying with other cages. This one works perfect to hold them in, yet isn''t too tough to use on the road.
Every bottle I''ve used goes in nice yet holds strong. There''s a nice satisfying feel when the bottle seats in the cage. Camelbak Podium bottles work like a charm. Even at high speed group riding during a race (25+ mph), I''ve had no problems taking bottles in and out. No "swerving" of the bike here, and no lost bottles.Bought these because I had some other carbon fiber cages that where dropping my bottles and seemed dangerous. These realy hold the bottles with some grip, but I have no trouble getting the bottle out when I need it.
Buy Arundel Mandible Water Bottle Cage Now
I''ve got carbon fiber cages from Zipp on my racing bike (Trek Madone 6.9SSL) and two different models of the Arundel cages. I use the Mandible on my Trek Cronus Ultimate. They are light, rugged, and hold extremely well. I''ve read complaints about them being too tight but I''ve not found that an issue. I''ve used them with several different bottle types with no problems. With my Camelbak Podium Bottles they are perfect, even with the "Big Chill" insulated bottle. Even on rough roads and single track full bottles stay put. Lighter, more minimalist cages like my Zipps are great under most conditions, and perfect on my race bike, but not as secure as the Mandibles on rough roads. I also travel with my Trek Cronus a lot and never worry about the Mandibles getting damaged by the airport baggage guys. Yes, they are costly but you get what you pay for and you aren''t going to find good carbon cages for cheap. They are light, tough, durable, and work extremely well. So if you''ve got a carbon framed bike and want top end gear ... highly recommended.Read Best Reviews of Arundel Mandible Water Bottle Cage Here
Well, I thought will the Arundel reputation that these would be the perfect match for my carbon bike. Wrong! These cages are so tight that it''s nearly impossible to get the bottle in or out without serious bike swerve. I actually sent mine back to Arundel so they could assess whether I got a tight set. Nope! Same as all the others. So if you need to get your bottle in and out while riding, let me suggest another brand of cage.Pittsburgh Steelers Glacier Water Bottle

I bought the Pittsburgh Steelers Glacier Water Bottle for my 16 year old son for his birthday. He wanted anything Steelers so I chose this along with a few other Steelers items. He loves it! It''s a good sturdy plastic and it holds a lot. I may have to buy one for my 14 year old too! Nice, very nice!Read Best Reviews of Pittsburgh Steelers Glacier Water Bottle Here

Buy Together Bottle: 12 Oz Stainless Steel Water Bottle Now
I love the price and size of this bottle. One problem we''ve had is that the pop top seems to close while the kids are drinking from it. It kindof "floats". I can only use it for my five year old who seems to have figured it out. Too frustrating for my 1 1/2 and 3 1/2 year olds, Fits well in lunch box and comes out clean from dishwasher.Read Best Reviews of Together Bottle: 12 Oz Stainless Steel Water Bottle Here

First of all, this is far from the best bang for the buck you can get online on water bottles. For close to 25 dollars in tax + shipping, you can easily buy an equally sturdy and volumetric BPA-free water bottle from other companies (SIGG, Camelbak, etc.) That being said, for the aforementioned price you do get exactly your money''s worth in the sleek design and the clever mechanics of the "perfect spout" water delivery system. As pretentious as it soumds, the "perfect spout" does actually make the difference when compared to the other water bottles I have; this water bottle does not involve me biting and sucking (yes, that is indeed what she said) like I do with my Camelbak, and for a bottle that''s designed to hold 750ml of liquid, the spout is neither too big that I spill water on myself (like I do with my SIGG, and my Nalgene bottle) nor too small to cause a bottleneck like... most bottles with a neck (i.e. Aquafina, Spring Arrow, etc.)
Oh and for those of you who do not know what the "perfect spout" is referring to, it''s just a small semi-concave groove layer inside the spout that''s designed to anatomically form around the shape of the human mouth (big words to describe a very simple and small concept, I assure you.)
In conclusion, yes this is a great--albeit expensive--water bottle. No, it does not do any tricks when you look away.I''ve had this bottle for over a month now, and it''s worked perfectly so far. For any that don''t know, it is important that you clean out the steel bottle thoroughly first (hot water and a little lemon juice work well) before drinking from it. There should be no metallic taste if you''ve done this properly. I far prefer drinking out of this to the plastic bottle that I used to carry around. With plastic bottles, even BPA free ones, I felt as if water that had sat around for too long still acquired an odd taste to it, particularly at the bottom of the bottle. This is not the case with the KOR Vida. And, unlike most steel bottles, it still gives you the comfort of a plastic spout at the top, which really is just the right size. While the plastic spout is usually big enough to fill the bottle easily, it can be removed if you need more space, i.e. to insert ice cubes. It''s a little bit of effort to get the spout off, but not too bad.
Note that if you remove the spout, it IS important that you align the cap carefully when screwing it back on, and that you don''t screw things too tight. Once I over-zealously tried to tighten my bottle to prevent it from leaking, and I had the opposite effect of causing the plastic to slide past the metal grooves, creating a small passage in which water could escape. I now tighten the bottle with a reasonable level of force (there''s a noticeable ''click'' when this happens), and I''ve had no issues since.
Pros:
-Looks great
-Water tastes great
-Comfortable to drink from
-Handle is comfortable and easy to hold
Cons:
-Cheaper options exist (but not with all the same features)
Buy KOR Vida BPA Free Water Bottle Now
beautiful bottle, i was REALLY happy with the delta but since I am a heavy duty bottle drinker and on the go i dropped it many times and the plastic hinge broke due to my abuse. I opted for the stainless steel vida. Like the other KOR bottle it is made of quality materials, a beautiful design, and feels great in your hand and on your lips.. but this model leaks so I cannot throw it in my bag and must carry it by hand (going to try to clip it with a large carabiner onto my bag so it''ll stay upright) :(Love it. Its so lightweight and I adore the clean design of it. The top doesn''t always go on easily so I did have a leak once in my gym bag but know that I know I just make sure to double check before I chuck it in my bag.This was the perfect bottle for me. The mouth isn''t too wide so water doesn''t spill when drinking, it hold the right amount of water for me without being too heavy and, lets face it, it''s super stylish!Hydraform Handheld Pocket BLACK

Some of the Positives of this water bottle:
the large mouth which fits ice cubes
ease of cleaning
adjustable strap
comfort
pocket for extra gel packet or keys
durability
One of the Negatives I have noticed is that the valve can be a little tough to bite and pull. I use my other hand, but if you really have to chomp and yank, you may want to check other reviews. It may just be a sticky one that I have.
You will like this if you are a runner, walker, or generally exercise orientated person.
You won''t like this if you are a camel and never need to drink any water when you are out and about.
(note: the one I purchased has a differently colored pocket)I now run with this bottle on EVERY run (even short ones) it is a great design that form-fits nicely in your hand. After just a few runs I was used to running with bottle. It is easy to disassemble to clean (by hand or dishwasher). I now have several of these bottles and their parts are interchangeable.This is my second Amphipod bottle. I love the update on the nozzle, its softer and easier to pull out with your teeth. The simplicity of this product makes it very lightweight and comfortable, it fits perfectly in your hand.
