Great American Detroit Red Wings 2-Pack Rocks Glass Set

I bought these cups for my father-in-law for Christmas. We are all big Red Wings fans and he loved these cups. They are pretty heavy which isn''t a problem for him but might be a problem for someone that doesn''t want to carry around a heavier cup.

Klean Kanteen Sport Cap 2.0 Replacement Cap (3 Pack)

Please DO NOT buy from this seller. These caps were recalls and damaged and they are selling it! I have contacted the seller but no response.

I received 3 caps in the mail. One of them was defective with the cap stucked and very difficult to open and close. I noticed the sippy tips has different texture. Two of them has the glossy tip and one of them is matte. There was a recall a while back on the "Sport Cap 2.0" caps. The ones are being recalled has the glossy tips. The recall comes after the Klean Kanteen received six reports of "water bottle spouts breaking or cracking in children''s mouths as they were drinking from the bottles..." Please feel free to search on the internet using the keyword "Klean Kanteen Sports Cap Recall" and you can see the news.

I have several Klean kanteen bottles for myself and my 2 kids. The product works great and is what I expected. The only thing I''m not crazy about is the fact that the lids make an annoying chirping sound when you drink from them. Over all its a great product.

Good for our purposes, but the caps have a hole with a seal in them that appear to be designed to adjust for pressure inside the bottle while drinking. But sometimes liquid comes out of this hole when the bottle is tipped on its side or upside-down. It kind of negates the whole point of a water-bottle in some cases.

These caps readily leak if the bottle is laying on the side. I tried all three caps with the same results.

Sure beats having to buy the whole bottle again. Speedy shipment. Great buy! The only thing i was unhappy with was that it was missing one of the metal links. Not a deal breaker though

I bought this as a gift and it is exactly what I wanted. It is a bit pricey but you are paying for the sports licensing so this makes sense. Also, it is HUGE!

Stanley Stainless Steel Water Bottle 24 oz

We have several of these, I bought them at Walmart for $5, they were selling out. When our friends saw them they speedily went to our local Walmart and bought them, now they are gone and no longer carry them. So I was excited to find them on Amazon. Even at almost double the price I will pay it because these are great water bottles. I love the durability, the wide mouth, the screw on lids. I do not like the straws and holes or the narrow mouths all the new bottles have on them. These clean up nicely and you can clip on a colorful carabiner to personalize if all your family has one.

Lifefactory 22-Ounce Beverage Bottle

I bought this to replace my KOR BPA-free plastic water bottles that broke, which I loved. They cracked at the hinges and one of them also got a coating inside it that was difficult to clean off. I mention the KOR because they were extremely easy to drink from--the opening was just the right size for easy drinking and the hinged top made it easy to manage the bottle--push a button to flip the top off for drinking and no separate top that you have to set down somewhere. So I really loved the design of my KOR bottles and hoped to find something similar in glass. I am not as happy with the design of this bottle, as it is less usable:

Pros:

Silicone sleeve makes it easy to handle and protects from breakage

Bottle, silicone sleeve and top are dishwasher safe

Large opening makes it easy to clean

Ring on cap makes it easy to carry

Fits in large cupholders in cars (not in small ones)

Glass makes it non-toxic and no taste imparted to water

Does not leak

Easy to see in the bottle so you can see the water level and whether it is clean

The bottle is less narrow than the KOR so does not tip over easily as the KOR did (thus leading the KOR to break)

Cons:

Large opening makes it difficult to drink from without spilling on self

The size of the opening, while being large enough to cause spilling, is not large enough to keep from bumping my nose on the other size of it. So my nose is always in the way when I drink from it, particularly as it gets below half full. I find that really frustrating (and yes, I have a large nose, but so do many people...). What I would really like to see is some sort of screw on top that creates a narrower opening for drinking, while still keeping the larger opening below so you can easily clean the bottle--SIGG has some bottles designed like that, which is a great design, however SIGG bottles had BPA in the old linings and the new linings quickly peel off. The company is developing a "sport top" but I don''t know if that will solve the problem. My experience with sport tops on hard water bottles (metal) is that it''s impossible to get enough water to flow out of them because you cannot squeeze the bottle.

The top is tricky to screw on straight--I keep putting it on slightly crooked and then it won''t screw on and I have to unscrew it and get it positioned just right, so it will screw on straight. This is time-consuming and frustrating, compared to the KOR bottle that just has a push button to flip it open and then easily clicks closed. It''s also much trickier than screwing the top on a SIGG bottle--I always found them easy to screw on.

Since the top is not hinged like the KOR, once you take it off, you have to find somewhere to set it down while you drink. Not a big deal if you are at work but if you are on the go, that can be a problem. And it is a large top, so it''s not like you can just slip it in a pocket.

Being glass, it is heavier than plastic bottles, though I am willing to live with that to have non-toxic and taste-free water

It is a bit too large to fit in the water bottle holders of my fanny pack, so I''ve had to buy plastic bottles for that

I have had MANY different types of bottles metal and plastic with different tops: screw top, flip top, spin top, or squeeze top. Overall, while this bottle is heavier than some of the others, it is far superior because you do not taste anything but water, there is no metallic aftertaste or plastic smell. For me, this is the most important thing. I love water but have always hated the weird aftertaste some of the other bottles produce. The large handle at the top makes this easy to carry. Once screwed on, there is no leaking or spilling. The mouth is large and therefore, makes it easy to fill up and drink from. I have yet to drop the bottle so can''t speak to how well the silicon cover protects it. The silicon does help if you put the bottle in the fridge because your hands won''t slip from the condensation.

I have taken this bottle to professional events, to playing tennis, and to the beach and honestly, this is my favorite bottle of all that I have ever owned!

Buy Lifefactory 22-Ounce Beverage Bottle Now

Goodbye stainless steel water bottle. Good riddance plastic bottles. I have searched high and low for alternatives to steel and plastic water bottles. I was ecstatic to see LF offer a good-sized glass bottle and it already included a protective cover; I purchased two. Admittedly, I think the bottles are over-priced. Plus, LF missed the mark by not offering a sports cap with the initial release. For outdoor joggers/runners, I would not recommend this because it''s too heavy. I have used this in a gym but it''s a bit inconvenient. Without the sports cap, I am forced to pause to drink.

These should have been priced at $15 (as is) and $20 (with a regular cap and one sports cap); I would have given this 5-STARS. It also would have been nice if it was 25 ounces as opposed to 22. Ultimately, I doc this a half a star for the high price and another half star for not having a sports cap readily available.

I cannot comment on durability because I have not drop it. Really looking forward to the sports cap being release. On LF''s website you can purchase a 22-ounce bottle without a cap or cover for $8; if Amazon offers, I may buy a few more as standbys.

I ordered the Lifefactory 22-ounce green beverage bottle in early September and absolutely love it!

I have carried water bottles since before Nalgene bottles were cool. As more information came out about plastics that leach into the water, particularly those with BPA, I wanted something where I wouldn''t have that concern. I switched to an unlined stainless steel bottle (Klean Kanteen) and liked everything except that beverages tended to take on a metallic taste and that the bottles (like all I tried except for the double-walled ones) perspired if you had cold beverages in them.

Fast forward to the Lifefactory bottles. I''d heard of them about a month prior and did quite a bit of research, both on Amazon and on the company''s website. The bottles are a fairly thick, high-quality glass that are covered with a grippy silicone sleeve. The top is wide-mouthed with a screw top. The entire thing is dishwasher-safe. (Well, I don''t know about the lid, as I hand-washed it separately.)

The pros:

No BPA to worry about. Glass doesn''t have BPA, nor does it have any of a variety of other chemicals known to leach. This is pretty much inert.

Grippy silicone sleeve offers some protection against breakage and keeps it from slipping out of your hand, even if the bottle is sweaty.

Fully-dishwasher-safe.

Replacements are easily ordered online for bottle (if it breaks) so you can just swap the silicone sleeve.

Can see what you''re drinking

The cap is secure and the loop is comfortable to hold, even when the bottle is full.

Awesome looking water bottle.

The cons:

Glass breaks. The silicone sleeve helps, and I''ve dropped this from counter height onto carpet without problems.

Glass is heavier than plastic. And also than metal. (Or it is in order to have thick glass.)

After using 27 and 32 ounce bottles, this one seems small, and a bit of an awkward size. (Though it does have measuring guides on the side if you want to use a powder packet designed for a 16 ounce bottle.)

Honestly, I love the bottle and have gotten a ton of compliments on it. Enough so that I bought a navy one at a local retailer. (Price with tax was about the same as price here with free shipping.) Also, I think Lifefactory plans to come out with 16 ounce bottles later this month (October 2010,) which I think is perhaps a more versatile size than 22 ounce. At any rate, excellent product.

UPDATE 2/2012:

I still use my spring green Lifefactory bottle regularly, on a nearly daily basis. After nearly a year and a half, here''s what I''ve learned.

The bottle is SOLID. I''ve dropped it from waist height and higher (3.5 to 4 feet) several times and it hasn''t broken; the glass is still pristine, the silicone sleeve has scuffed, but that rubs right off. The plastic lid does scratch if you drop it onto pavement, but Lifefactory sells replacement lids. I haven''t gotten one, as the bottle still looks great and the lid is still leak-free and functional.

I have also added a gray 16 ounce bottle to the collection and it''s a great product, too. The same goes for the 9-ounce bottles, which I use for milk or juice in lunches or for to-go breakfast. I would unhesitatingly recommend this bottle.

I love this bottle. I feel confident knowing I am drinking from a safe container because it is glass. The silicone sleeve is great and really does protect it from breaking. It fell over while I had it sitting on a concrete bench at the beach and it did not break. The top seals tightly, I don''t need to worry about having it lie on it''s side in my bag.

I have one suggestion for Lifefactory make a lid that is also a cup. Something phthalate-free that screws on as a top but you can also pour water into and drink from. I love that this bottle holds 22 oz, but it is heavy to hold against the face while drinking especially while walking at the same time.

I think this product is great and own 5 of them for my husband and myself alone. My son is not bottle-fed, but if he were, this company''s baby bottles are the ones I''d chose.

Inviscid Design Speedfil | Seat Tube Version

I have a Cannondale Slice. This fits the bill perfectly for my hydration needs. I love how I do not have to come out of the aero position to hydrate and I don''t have to risk crashing trying to grab bottles(or even miss one pedal stroke) to get water.

I am a bit of a water hog. I usually drink the whole thing in a 1 hour ride. Most people won''t need that much. My advice is to fill it up as much as you need for either your training ride or race.

ALSO You can refill it very easily on the fly.

The only negative is that you need to clean it out well after if you fill it up with Gatorade or some other sports drink (no duh!!!) Otherwise you will get a gross moldy container.

For training rides of 40 minutes to 1 hout I just use water in this. For long training rides I use this filled with water and have either 1 or 2 rear seat mounted bottles with Heed or cytomax mix. That way after a ride I just open the top, dump out any extra water and blow out the tube.

On race day I put whatever I want in it and take the time and trouble to clean it out.

Can You Imagine Drink Hat (Yellow) Save 7% off

This is the best invention since the beer. Now I drink with both hands free. No more grabbing for another beer. Now Its just sit drink and relax. Hopefully the inventor or someone at NASA is reading this because I thought of a few improvements. One, the beer holders could be larger as well as adjustable. Also I noticed it doesn''t work while lying down, something really should be done about that. Also since using the beer hat I have noticed some slight neck strain from constant use. Hope this helps.

i saw it on spongebob and i had to have it, it works awesome, and you can drink the soda nice!!!

I looked forward to the day I would be able to resume beer drinking through nine months of pregnancy, but once the baby arrives, it''s really hard to hold a baby, and a baby bottle and drink a beer. This is a great joke gift for a new mom. Sure beats another little pink or blue outfit (though those are nice too.)

Want Can You Imagine Drink Hat (Yellow) Discount?

Purchased this item as part of a birthday present for a family member. The hat does exactly what it is supposed to do, which is allow the user to drink hands-free. I was expecting something with alot less quality than the item we received. Holds drinks securely but can become top heavy if overloaded. The only downside is that the clamp at the end of the hose does not totally stop the flow, leaving a small trickle even when clamped fully. Otherwise, a neat product for a great price.

Kentucky Wildcats UK NCAA 52Oz. Stainless Steel Macho Travel Mug With Bottle Opener

A VERY GOOD INSULATED MUG CAN BE USED FOR MANY THINGS HOT OR COLD...A NICE CUP TO HAVE IN YOUR HOME

The mug itself is great. It holds water. It holds koolaid. It holds all manners of liquid.

The logo is night tightly bound to the mug itself. It is a bent piece of metal (cool), but mine came with fairly large gaps between it and the mug itself.

The lid is difficult to remove because the snap-lid does not feel strong enough to grab onto and spin counter-clockwise. If I tighten it on aggressively, no manner of large handed giant can unscrew it.

Still, it holds a lot of water.

Olicamp Space Saver Cup

The Olicamp Space Saver isn''t a bulletproof, titanium cooking tool, but it is very affordable and adequate to its intended purpose.

The cup will hold 16 oz. of liquid with enough headroom to comfortably boil that amount. This is exactly the amount of boiling water required for a standard Mountain House 2 serving, freeze dried entree packet. Measurements from 4 to 16 oz. are embossed on the side of the cup, which is convenient.

The cup itself is strong enough to hold up to normal use, but the metal has some give. If you step on it by accident, you''ll probably be short a container. The handles are a thick wire. They don''t feel particularly sturdy at first, but when I tested the cup on a gas stove (see customer image), I was surprised to find that they work quite well. They are rigid enough to safely support 16 oz. of hot liquid, and thin enough to remain mostly cool to the touch. I could actually pour the liquid into another container without spilling a drop and without a potholder of any sort, an advantage which I had not anticipated.

A 32 oz. Nalgene bottle nests tightly into the cup (the cup is easily removed, but will not easily fall off). I was able to fit the bottle with the cup into the water bottle pouch on an old military backpack with a little care. Any pouch that''s made for a 32 oz. Nalgene will most likely also accept the cup.

I''m satisfied with the purchase so far.

I''m a big fan of my Olicamp Nalgene Cup. My Nalgene one quart bottle nests perfectly into the cup, and that saves a lot of space. Briefly...

Pro:

-Very sturdy

-Nalgene nests perfectly

-Folding arms are sturdy and just long enough to make for a good handle

-The ounce gradations on the side can be seen both inside and outside the cup, so it''s great for cooking

Cons:

-Heavy, but I guess that''s a price you pay for having a durable cup that you can cook with

-The arms have a tendency to flop out, but since they can be taken off very easily, it''s also very easy to bend them to make the arms hold their place a little more firmly.

Not sure if this would work, but maybe in the future Olicamp could magnetize the ends of the fold out arms so that they would stay folded in more readily?

Overall a great product. In my mind, four out of five stars is a great rating. Very few products are deserving of 5/5.

Sells for about $10 at most camping/hunting stores (BassPro, Dick''s, REI, etc).

(see customer images)

I use this with a recycled tomato can for my camp stove. The stove itself is a Pepsi can stove (google search it for many different plans). The empty tomato can serves as a windscreen and pot stand. Four holes punched with a can opener allow air flow at the bottom. The cup sits on a pair of tent stakes. It takes 30mL of denatured alcohol and six minutes to boil 500mL of water. I''ve neglected to time how long it will keep the water boiling, but I''d guess another 6-7 minutes. YMMV depending on the type of alcohol stove you have.

Read Best Reviews of Olicamp Space Saver Cup Here

Solid quality polished stainless, made in India. Holds 16oz with about 1/2 inch remaining till the top. No lid, unfortunately. Weighs a hefty 165g / 5.8 oz. A single walled titanium cup of about the same size (like a Snow Peak 600) would weigh less than half this much, but it would cost three times more. Exterior dimensions including the folded-in arms: height 9cm x width 10.5cm. Interior dimensions if you want to make sure your water bottle fits inside: ~9cm height x 9.3cm width. The volume markings on the side are in ounces only, no metric measurements. The lines and numbers are stamped into the metal, so they are visible from the inside as well. This makes them more useful when filling, but it''s also annoying for cleanup -food can get caught in the little concave markings inside the cup.

---------

Update: I haven''t seen it offered on Amazon, but if you search elsewhere you may be able to find an "Olicamp Space Saver Aluminum" cup. It''s identical to this one except:

The handles are riveted instead of welded, making it slightly harder to clean because the rivets penetrate to the inside.

Because it''s aluminum, the cup only weighs 98g (3.5oz), much lighter than this one.

Despite the lighter weight, it holds 4oz more (20 oz total) with room to spare. The extra capacity comes from additional height; it''s still the width of a Nalgene.

If you want to save weight and if cleanup isn''t a big concern because you''ll mostly be boiling water, this could be a great lightweight alternative. Assuming you''re OK with aluminum.

Seychelle 27oz Stainless Steel Regular Water Filter Bottle (Red)

I was super excited about this product. I had been using plastic filtered bottles and wanted a healthier alternative so I opted for the stainless steel. This seemed to fit the bill for everything I was looking for and the description and details made it sound wonderful!

The product worked like it said and I was happy. Water tasted great and I could drink the tap water without the chemicals and without that plastic taste.

I made the item for about 2 weeks when it broke. While drinking from it I felt something come to my lips. I looked into the mouth piece and a small black part had come off from the inside! I contacted the company to see if I could get a replacement since the papers it came with a 90 day guarantee, but no one has emailed back and it has been about a week.

I will be sending it back to try a similar item by a different company.

I almost didn''t order this product because of the comments about how hard it was to get the water out. Well, it''s all in how you TILT the bottle! The instructions tell you to tilt the bottle 45 degrees and to suck as using a straw. The filter is at the bottom of the container, and obviously, if you tilt the bottle way up, as we normally do with a water bottle, the filter will be at the top and the water at the bottom and you will be sucking air! Remember that you are basically drinking from a bottle with a straw and that 45 degrees is just a slight tilt (and don''t go so far as 45 degrees). When you keep the filter in the water, there is no problem!

The shape of the bottle is easy to hold and fits perfectly into the cup holders in our cars, without being wobbly. The water is fresh tasting and I don''t mind filling my bottle from any source with this bottle. When you have the right tilt, the water flows easily from the bottle without effort. This is really a great product.

If you are looking for a bottle to use to pour filtered water into another container, however, this one won''t work. This bottle is strictly for drinking by sucking up the water.

I don''t really use it anymore because it is so hard to suck the water up the straw. I just got a plastic BPA free filter water bottle where you can tilt and squeeze the water into your mouth through the filter. That is a lot easier. I really wanted stainless steal so to avoid plastic altogether but it just isn''t really that practical.

Purchased these as a gift for a Buckeye fan. He liked them very much. Glass set is nice, the logos are affixed on the side fairly securely, probably recommend hand wash only. Great for cold beverages, but i would be weary of placing them inside a freezer for fear the adhesive on the logo may fail... only Four out of Five stars because it doesn''t pour the beer itself.

Outdoor Research Water Bottle Tote

Outdoor Research 1-Liter Water Bottle Tote

I''ve been using OR Nalgene carriers for 12-14 years, and they have gone all over the world with me, from down in the Amazon to 19,000 feet up the side of mountains. I typically carry these using a Petzl Spirit:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000T2BSYQ/

These are large enough to fit the velcro carry strap and still weave through molle gear or clamp on a 1.5" mountaineering or web-gear belt (or holster belt for those of you that use the same for your IPSC/IDPA rigs).

A larger carbiner like the Petzl locking biners actually fit the strap better:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000T29REY/

But I find these a little too bulky and harder to weave into molle for EDC.

These are by far my favorite Nalgene bottle carriers. These used to be even more solidly built the top tension-strap spring-catch on the old ones hold much tighter, but they also break off easier. The new spring-catches do not seem to break off but they don''t hold well and you regularly have to re-tighten them.

FYI// The Nalgene-brand carriers are poorly made & stitched. If you EDC them they start to fall apart > 1 year old. Best avoided unless you just plan to use them for your 2x/year, 5-mile hike, when you leave suburbia.

Had an older version like 10 years ago and loved it. Just received my new one today and couldn''t be happier. Simple and does what it is supposed to do well.

Buy Outdoor Research Water Bottle Tote Now

I purchased a lighter backpack to cut weight. Unfortunatley, the side pockets are impossible to reach, there''s just no way to do it without taking the pack off. They''re almost too tight for a Nalgene anyway.

Water bladders are rediculous in most applications, so I wanted to keep my Nalgene or reuse Gatorade bottles for water.

This tote works great! The strong velcro keeps it on the hip belt nicely. It''s not as nice as simply using the side pockets of a pack if they''re accessible, but I guess I can''t have everything.

-1 star simply because the inside of the tote is a rubbery material, making it a lot more difficult to remove a 32oz Nalgene than necessary. A slicker material or slightly larger diameter would be perfect.
