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.

Coleman 5-Gallon PVC Camp Shower Save 40% off

Because of reviews complaining of splitting and leaking, I bought two of these. I figured each one would work for a week and then be "retired". To my surprise I''m stilling using my first bag after well over 30 days of use. I generally don''t fill it with more then 3-4 gallons of water at a time which may be helping its longevity.

We use this as a kitchen faucet while out in the woods and it works great. For people expecting piping hot showers from this it takes several hours of DIRECT sunlight with the bag perpendicular to the solar rays to truly get HOT. That means at noon the bag should be laying on the ground with a towel under it to help insulate it. In the morning and evenings it should be hung vertical, and the rest of the day it should be propped up at a 45 degree angle. Also don''t expect it to be any warmer then the outside temperature on cloudy or overcast days. I think some of the reviews regarding how poorly it heats the water are due to overly high expectations.

I only bought one, but it split open at a seam after a couple of uses. I tried to glue and tape it back together, which held for a while but even so, the flow was pretty flimsy.

Best to go with another brand.

Took it camping (Bonnaroo!). Filled it from the runoff from the coolers as the ice melted each day. Never needed more than 1/2 to 1 gallon to take as long a shower as I wanted. Even just suspended it from the side of my truck, when push came to shove, and knelt beneath it. A great product, at a good price!

This shower heats up 5 gallons of water in no time, the problem for me was finding a place high enough and strong enough to hang the 40lbs. The water pressure is slow, but it does the job.

Most of these bags seem to be about the same except for the control valve. Some have valves up at the point where the hose leaves the bag; that''s not nearly as convenient as having the valve at the end of the nozzle, where you just pull/push to turn it on/off. This bag has that better type of valve.

Reliance Products Desert Patrol 6 Gallon Traditional Jeep Style Rigid Water Container

Long story short... I bought two of these in June 1996 and am still using one today (I carelessly destroyed the other one during a move.) I just bought three more and am delighted that I was able to find the same model after all these years. I bought them for $15/ea, which is a reasonable price for the quality and functionality.

Now the long story... I started out on a three-month camping trip across the Western US & Canada in June ''96. On the second day I stopped at a hardware store in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan looking for sturdy water containers. I wanted something I could use in the deserts and mountains for anything from drinking and bathing to filling my car radiator if necessary. I happened to find this exact green, six-gallon, Jerry-can-style Reliance model and bought a couple of them. I used them every day for three months (and over 10,000 miles of back roads) and was thrilled with them. They were packed in my hatchback with my camping gear and mountain bike. Despite all that jostling, compression, daily use, and extreme heat in the deserts these never leaked nor did the plastic body or spout deteriorate over the years.

As for the ability of the can to preserve the flavor of water without giving it a plastic taste... it''s excellent. I filled both cans with water from a North Dakota well the day after I bought them in June ''96 (best water I have ever tasted.) By the end of three months I still had some North Dakota water in one can. It tasted as good as when it came out of the well.

These are simplyand well-designed. The reversible spout nests inside the container when not in use and is sturdy plastic. This is important because otherwise the spout is prone to snap off or bend when the container is being stored in a car/truck but isn''t in use. The other thing I liked was that the plastic is thick-gauge but is a food-quality polymer so can store drinking water. The air-outlet valve that enables the water to pour smoothly is located on the opposite side of the container top from the spout and works fine. I''ve never had a problem with it.

Please note that the pouring spout won''t work well if you want to lay the can on its side and use it as a drink dispenser. It''s not a picnic thermos; the flow is much too rapid for that. Also, you should to store cans such as these in the upright position. Mine fell over in the car a couple times during that summer trip and never leaked; however, I wouldn''t count on that for long periods. Finally, if you have to carry this container a long distance from a water source you need to be strong. Six gallons of water weighs 50 lbs (23 kg) and this model doesn''t have wheels. Having said that, however, it has fit my needs for a long, long time.

After my trip in ''96 I used both containers for another eight years for emergency water storage wherever I lived. Then I accidentally destroyed one in 2004 when it got crushed in a moving van.

I got lax over the years about keeping extra water on hand for emergencies. We moved in ''08 to a place prone to the remnants of hurricanes. I finally got around to looking for water containers recently as part of assembling an emergency preparedness kit for the house. I was thrilled to find the identical Reliance container that I bought 14 years ago for sale on Amazon. Three new ones arrived late last week. I cleaned them out today and filled them for storage. Same old excellent design. I recommend it highly.

I bought one to try. I used it for a long weekend of camping and there was no funny taste to the water from being in the container. The cap/nozzle assembly fits well and I haven''t noticed any leakage around it. There''s also a little indent for your hand on the bottom to assist with tipping the container, which is a nice little detail.

Since it''s designed to be stood up, I didn''t try laying it on its side to check for leaking that way.

I''ll be getting a couple more of these for emergency purposes. It never hurts to have some potable water stored before a hurricane or other big weather hits.

When we camp in our trailer at a State Park, we usually deplete our on board water supply by the end of the 3rd day. Rather than hook up and haul the trailer to the dump/water supply station, I carry water to the trailer. Every other container I''ve in the past either a) didn''t hold enough water, b) was difficult to fill, c) difficult to carry, and/or d) difficult to pour into the water port on the trailer. This product solved all 4 problems for me. I love it.

Nice size can. At 6 gallons its not to much to carry but enough to be useful. The spout fits RV fresh tank fill hole perfectly. Recommend for anyone needing a nice water carry can when boon dock camping. Shipped SUPER fast too.

We had borrowed a neighboring camper''s water containers to fill our camper''s fresh water tank. These worked perfectly for what we needed. There was no water hook-up at our camp site and these containers saved us from having to pull the camper to the water source. I immediately got on line and ordered our own. They are light weight and the handle and grip make them easy to use when they''re full.

NCAA Kansas Jayhawks 1-Liter Macho Mug

The size of the mug is great. Unhappy that the emblem is crooked. Refuse to pay shipping to send it back when it should have not passed quality in the first place,

heavy duty and well worth it. this mug is well made, very thick glass and the emblem on the front is very sharp

Ordered as a set of 2, and they were very heavy, sturdy glasses. My only complaint is that they arrived to my house in 2 separate shipments in HUGE boxes. Guess they were being overcautious about breakage! I ended up repackaging them before wrapping the gift.

Coleman Water Carrier (Blue) Save 11% off

My father purchased two of these Coleman 5-gallon water jugs for my wife and I as emergency water storage when we moved into a common hurricane area. We have used the Coleman water jugs for 8 years and have never had a problem with them. They can be laid on their sides on picnic tables, then open the vent on top and they serve as a great kid-friendly water service. The nozzles are easy to turn and easy to clean. During the hard Pennsylvania winters, I keep both of them full in case of emergencies. Every year before we start camping and fishing I wash them out with a table spoon of bleach and fill them with hot water. I would recommend these to my friends and I plan on buying a few more for safe keeping! Thanks, Coleman, for making another good piece of camping gear.

I have owned 3 of these in the last two years. I use them to take water to my cabin during the summer. I have not had the spigot on any of them last more than 8 weekend trips. Every time the handle on the spigot breaks. No problem with the jug though. Never had any problems with leaking either.

We loved this product we just brought it on a three day camping trip. It was perfect. The water flows perfectly out of it and when you turn it off it doesn''t leak. It''s durable and made life easier with no running water or electricity available on our site.

I really wanted to like this product. After suffering through continuous leaking with the Reliance 7-Gallon containers, I was thrilled to find a product that didn''t leak when set on its side for dispensing. The first disappointment was the terrible plastic taste it imparts to the water. No problem, I thought, I''ll just use it for camp cleanup duties, refilling it with tap water from the bigger Reliance containers to wash dishes, brush teeth, etc.(we now use a Rubbermaid dispenser for drinking water). Until the second trip, when the vent cap broke from its keeper strap. Now I had to keep track of that every time we used it. Well, we just returned from a 3-week camping trip in Baja California and on the second morning of the trip, the spigot handle just broke off in my wife''s hand as she was turning it on. The container is now completely useless 5 months after we purchased it and on only its third use.

It really is discouraging to see these manufacturers come up with useful ideas and designs only to outsource the manufacturing to the lowest bidder, who apparently could not give a whit about its usefulness in the real world. Somewhere, it seems, some brilliant bean-counter has decided that the "average" consumer will not pay the added 12.687 cents that would be required to make it profitable to manufacture this product to a standard that actually makes it useful.

But wait! I just looked at the title of the product! It''s called the "Coleman Water Carrier". I guess it succeeds at that . . .

We bought two of these water containers for camping. If you need something to hold 5 gallons of water, this will do the job. If the use of a spigot is important, I would not recommend this product. The first problem is leaking. The spigot valve itself actually shuts off fine. The problem is you cannot properly seal the connection between the cap and the canister. The seam on at the mouth of the cannister leaves a ridge that the rubber seal cannot overcome no matter how tight the cap is twisted on the threads. The second problem is the handle on one of the spigots broke off on our first camping trip.

Premium PP Chug (2 Pack)

We''ve been using the basic chug bottles for years and upgraded to the premium this time. The basic ones would get discolored in the dishwasher over time. I don''t see that being an issue with these bottles and I really like the carrying ring, I use it more than I would''ve guessed. Great product! Easy to clean, can open with one hand, not a lot of complicated parts.

I ordered the bottles for work to hand out to employees. We were going though bottled water and the expense and the fact that we wanted to save on recycling. So I decided to give everyone their own bottle to fill up from the water cooler.

Everyone liked the idea and was happy to have their own water bottle.

Gatorade Squeeze Bottle 20oz

This bottle is excellent for most sports or even for the daily grind and you need a pickmeup.

A nice big, durable, and cheap water bottle to have on your table or out when working out.

Water only comes out when you squeeze meaning it won''t come out unless you want it to. Low maintenance and easy use.

There really isn''t much to say about this product other than, "Is it in you?"

5/5 ***** Purchase!

I use this type of bottle when I''m running or hunting my bird dog. Unfortunately if the bottle is laying on its side during transport, or hanging in a pouch from your belt and you bend, over it leaks. I have never had a bottled this cheaply made. For a cost of $5+ it is VERY cheaply made.

Sigg Steelworks - Thermo Mug (0.5-Liters) Save 2% off

nice looking mug, well constructed, but not pleased with how quickly my coffee starts to cool. my hot coffee is appraoching luke warm by end of my 20 minute commute. definitely luke warm within an hour.

I owned a sigg metro mug in the past and loved it. only drawback was having to unscrew the lid to drink my coffee. thought the convenience of this lid design would be better for working around the office. Convenient, yes, but overall performance, no.

. it probably does not keep my water cold as long as the old sigg I had.

It is light in weight, easy to carry. Compare to the Klean Kanteen I ordered and returned to Amazon, the stainless steel inside this sigg cup is far more superior. No metallic odor when I drink from it, no dark finger print marks when I touch inside the cup like the K.K. bottle.

The lid is made of good quality plastic. Attached on the lid is a ''clip'' which is somewhat like a see-saw to me. You press on one end of the clip, the other end opens up by about 1cm to allow liquid flow out. It''s not easy to wash the bottom of the ''clip'' where the soft stopper is located. I use my tea tree facial wash to prevent bacteria growth there.

I am keeping this cup, because it''s so hard to find good quality stainless steel and plastic cups anywhere.

Ballet Beautiful Stainless Steel Water Bottle

I adore this bottle. It makes my water taste great because it is stainless steel and not plastic. You can thow it in the freezer for 15 minutes and your water stays cold for hours. I take this bottle with me to work, in the car, u name it, I take it everywhere with me. And the bottle is also very very pretty and feminine.

It''s a lovely bottle, received it saturday 9-8-12, using it since monday and twice bottle twisted off top cap on belt loop!!!!! First was yesterday then today a few moments ago!!! I am twisting tightly, not too tightly of course. But....I don''t feel as if it was secured on my belt loop, was always checking to make sure it didn''t twist off!! I only put in backpack bottle holder when I go to work and leave work, but I don''t have backpack with me during work. Since I work outside, main reason why I bought this bottle, it''s annoyingly distracting!!!!! Any other time bottle is great to use for, but not if anyone work outside!! Looks like I need to find a different bottle which is more secured for belt loops! On a side note, I tried the method from other reviewer about 15min in freezer, water didn''t stay cold for hours. It did get warm by end of day.

Tamrac M.A.S. Water Bottle in Padded Carrier (Black) Save 19% off

Tamrac''s M.A.S. Water Bottle in Padded Carrier is a 20 oz. water bottle in a foam-padded carrier.
Keeps water within reach at all times.
Quick attachment to any belt or to Tamrac''s M.A.S.-compatible products.

When the Tamrac Water Bottle in the Padded case arrived, the top of the plastic water bottle would not seal. While Tamrac builds quality products this is not one of them. I own other products from Tamrac and I expected more from this company. If you order this product plan to replace the water bottle before going on a trip. Normally I would return a defective product but replacing like-for-like accomplishes nothing. The padded case has value but you have to decide if the cost (without the water bottle) is worth it.

Nice case, well made, does what it is supposed to do. The only negative is the included bottle. I would much prefer the case to be a few dollars less and not receive the low quality bottle. I use this with a 24 oz NALGENE Tritan OTG BPA-Free Water Bottle. It fits perfect.

What you get is a very nice, durable, padded pouch with a strip of elastic near the top to hold your favorite water bottle or coffee mug. This one, Contigo Double Wall Stainless Steel Vacuum Insulated Tumbler, fits perfectly. You can You can attach the pouch to your belt or any Tamrac case that supports their "Modular Accessory System". It secures via a flap that has lots of Velcro and two snaps.

As an added bonus it comes with a water bottle! (Yea, I know it says that but since I was buying it to hold my coffee mug I didn''t pay attention and it turned into a nice surprise.)

* If you''re confused about the "like the picture" reference; up till just after I posted my review the picture Amazon had on the product page was for this: Tamrac MX5378 BlackMX5378 MAS Lens Case Large (Black). That issue was also raised by a number of previous reviewers. I don''t know if it was corrected by coincidence or someone at Amazon actually read my review. I''m also not sure which would be scarier and am glad to be helpful in any event.

Title says it all. All of the other reviews are correct in that the bottle is a cheap carnival giveaway.

Camelbak Podium Chill Bottle

This is a good bottle that works well, is light, and doesn''t give water a bad taste. It will keep your drinks cooler, about 2x longer, BUT this bottle looks very much like the much better podium ice which will keep your drink cooler 4x longer. So in other words, this bottle is only half as good as the podium ice, so don''t get confused (like I did) and think you are getting the really good bottle. At the time of this review you won''t find that one carried by amazon, and you won''t find a prime option either.

This bottle is very sleek and attractive. all the prints are on the ''chill layer,'' not on the exterior of the bottle, so i know they won''t peel off from washing it numerous times.

speaking of the functional aspect, the bottle is easy to squeeze, the "always open, always closed" spout is nice because all you have to do is to squeeze the bottle to get the water out because it''s "always open" and yet the water does not leak through the spout even if you hold the bottle upside down because it''s "always closed" as long as you don''t squeeze the bottle. This feature is something that Polar bottles do not have. This bottle is also easier to clean than Polar bottles because the less contoured design. Overall, I am very satisfied with the switch I made.

I bought one of these bottles to test it out, and love it. I had been using a plain plastic bottle to go cycling with, and had to load up on ice to keep it cold for 30 minutes in the heat. This bottle is FANTASTIC at insulating. I kept track of how "cold" it kept my water while I went out on cycling rides:

-95 degrees: put in 4 ice cubes, water was below what i''d consider room temperature for an hour and a half, and was mostly in direct sunlight. Impressive

-70 degrees: put in 3 ice cubes, water was pretty cold even after my 2 and a half hour ride

-80 degrees: put in 4 ice cubes, water remained what i''d call below room temperature for 3 hours

Excellent bottle. Bought another to bring along
