I used these with some 1/4" tubing from Home Depot, that connection worked great!well, what more is there than it works when i drink, and doesn''t drip when i don''t. i still always set my bag on the valve in my car driving out to go hiking, but that''s user error. just replacing an old one i lost and had for several years. looked fine, worked like it did the day i got it. i trust few companies, but msr is one... i''ve had good experiences with all of their products i''ve used.

It is quiet and holds a park multi tool, a small crescent wrench, 2 tire levers, a set of park glueless patches, a co 2 inflator and two co2 bottles.
Oh, and a small leatherman. This is an excellent solution for those than carry cellphones in jersey pockets. I found that mine collects moisture. This cage is nice place to secure the phone. The plastic insert is worthless as it gets crumpled to the bottom of the cage in no time. I found that I can put a smartphone and a tube in the cage, no problem. It''s easy to open as you ride, too.

This storage bottle is unique, robust and practical. Highly commend it to any bike rider with a storage problem.Read Best Reviews of Cage Rocket Classic Water Bottle Storage Container Here
Overall, this seems like a fairly simple yet good design. It has a thin pad that covers the entire inside, minus the cover. It''s big enough to easily hold my Razr and it''s holster and still have room. The shipping was fast BUT the ad was incorrect. They state it''s the silver and black rocket, but they sent me a silver and grey one ... not what I was expecting. 4 stars for the rocket and the shipping, 2 stars for shipping a different color item than I ordered.Want Cage Rocket Classic Water Bottle Storage Container Discount?
I must have an earlier model of the cage rocket, because mine is grey with a black lid. I got caught in a heavy downpour on the commute home from work Friday, I had my cell phone, wallet & ipod in the cage rocket on my bike. I was a little concerned that they would get water on them, but everything was completely dry when I got home. Very useful for those times when you only have a few things to take with you & you don''t want a full bike bag, backpack or pannier.Great American Products Ohio State Buckeyes 2 Piece Rocks Glass Set

JanSport Wasabi Backpack
Posted by

on Tuesday, May 13, 2014
MY LOAD:
draft pencil in pencil slot (can''t carry in pocket due to tip that can easily bend or break), two pens (shape fine), calculator, pulse clicker, iPad (SECOND FRONT POCKET)
Macbook (like 1 inch thick), 2 notebooks, small texts books. (MAIN)
BINDER (like 3 inches thick), slim binder (under 1 inch)
It''s a comfortable load, with the padding meant for the laptop, well, it''s used for my back. Hell, I have my laptop in one of the foam cases anyway... you know, in case I get hit by a car or something.I love my bookbag. I haven''t had any problems with it so far. I will second that the laptop pocket doesn''t have a lot of padding. My laptop is a 15.7" so it doesn''t fit in the pocket anyway (I just use a laptop pocket and slip it in my bag), so I use it for my main binder. I can fit three giant college books and my laptop into the main compartment, and in the laptop pocket I put my 1.5" main binder, tons of pens pencils and a couple smaller notebooks in the outer pocket, and in the outer most pocket, I use it as a snack pocket, in addition to some other random items, since I am constantly in class or studying. There is also a top pocket up near the back of your neck, I think it''s the perfect pocket for wallet, cell phone, keys, and ipod. I was a little hesitant at first in buying the bookbag offline, due to size constraints I have had in the past with other bookbags, but this is the perfect bookbag for me and I recommend it for Commuter Students.

I ordered this book bag after my other Jansport was stolen, i love the brand because they seem to last forever. The bag i had before this was a lot more basic. I ordered this one based on looks alone and was surprised at all the great features it had after it arrived. It was a 15 inch laptop sleep in the back, which is probably great for most people, but my laptop is to large to fit. It has to large front zipper pockets to carry books. I am a college student and use this bag to haul heavy books around. It also has many pockets on the interior for misc. items such as pens, calculators etc. and a water bottle holder on the side. It also has a small pocket at the top between the the shoulder straps that i have not yet figured out what belongs there yet, possibly laptop cords? I love the backpack, and it feels much lighter on my back than the smaller more generic Jansport bags.Read Best Reviews of JanSport Wasabi Backpack Here
The bag is great, very useful. There are three main pockets (which all kind of share space with each other, so if you overfill one, you''re really just taking from another pocket), a tiny one up top, and a laptop sleeve, the zipper for which is on the side.It DOES fit my 15.4" Macbook Pro. Here''s how you do it: slide the laptop at an angle towards the top of the bag first, then lower the rest gently towards the bottom of the bag. That said, the pocket offers some protection, but not a lot. I haven''t had the misfortune of relying on it, but it doesn''t feel super-protective. It sure is better than nothing, though, as I see many people doing in their bags. If you want real laptop protection, I''d still recommend this bag, but in conjunction with something like Caselogic PAS-215 15-Inch Macbook Neoprene Sleeve (Black) or Timbuk2''s "Envelope Sleeve," which is what I used when I needed it.
Here''s a rough estimate of what I carry in it and it all fits comfortably with a little extra room for things that I may need to carry during the day:
Laptop (15.4" MBP)
iPad
AC adapters for both
A big ol'' textbook (more than 2 inches thick)
A sandwich-sized tupperware for lunch
A quart-sized bag of writing utensils
An extra t-shirt, underwear, and jeans
Toiletries
A couple of trade paperbacks
The bag is pretty light, which is great, and the straps are comfortable and easy to adjust. And it''s really inexpensive.
All in all, I haven''t encountered a better bag for the price. If you''re on the fence about it, just go for it.I purchased this for my wife as we are going on our honeymoon and wanted backpacks to carry stuff on shore exursions. We were concerned about the size in from the picture but when we got it, we were very pleasantly surprized about its size. Very sturdy, Comfortable straps, Finger loops for walking/Hiking, MP3 Pouch, water pouch and a few other nice things.. was def a good value and we hope to get a long time of use with this Jansport bag..

Take the liner on the inside and cut it in half. Don''t throw the pieces away. Cutting it in half takes your Kroozie that only fits a certain size cup, and makes it fit 3 sizes.
Credit to this idea from Summer Is A Verb See her blog post here for pictures of her "custom" Kroozie! [..]The KROOZER CUP I bought is super cute & matches my cruiser perfectly...though the first time I used it for my Slurpee, said Slurpee ended up all over the pavement on Main Street. It''s secured as tight as I could get it, but the whole thing flipped over, but did not detach. Partially my fault, perhaps to cram such a large cup in to the holder, but if it fits, the product should hold it, no?

First I must say this is a very high quality product, well made out of the best stuff. BUT it is suited to a fairly limited application. Beer can. Soda can. Paper coffee cup with lid. I think a regular bike bottle would fit if you remove the foam insulation, not a big thing. Transport on a smooth surface. Like cruising the boardwalk with a beer PERFECT. If your ride is bumpy your going to spill.Love the colors they come in! Match all 3 bikes perfectly! Holds water bottles & red solo cups! Can''t beat that.It arrived quickly. I had to cut the inner foam to allow for various size beverages to be held in the cup holder.Arundel Sport Water Bottle Cage

I wanted a water bottle cage that would keep its shape, hold the bottle securely and easy for me to pull a water bottle out of it on steep climbs. This water bottle does all that.After purchasing a Ti road bike, I was tempted to add on some Ti bottle cages but really, what''s the point? These water cages are light and very affordable. I can fit my Camelbak Podium 33oz bottle in there nicely and not worry about it falling out. Buy two so they match!

Buy Bluewave Bullet BPA Free Sports Water Bottle (34 oz) Now
I bought several of the 1 litre bottles three years ago and I am still using the same one and they are not bad bottles but they are hard and not squeezable so the lids do not seal tight so you can get the liquids out without loosening the tops of them. They will leak when you lay them down or they tip sideways. The old style lids as shown in the pictures are hard to open. And my black case lasted three year of almost daily use. These bottles will last forever unlike the cheaper plastic ones..But over all I like these bottles..Cheers.Read Best Reviews of Bluewave Bullet BPA Free Sports Water Bottle (34 oz) Here
