bobble Filtered Water Bottle Green PACKAGE 050BOBGR
This product has been a very smart choice for me. I just bought it on July 17, 2010 from the Container Store. It was 9.99 and 10.81 after tax. The best things about this bottle: water tastes clean, no plastic taste, made in USA, squeezable, clear so you can see how much water you have left, I don''t have to buy anymore bottled water, filter can be used for 2 months or 40 gallons. It is cute shape and style and the blue is a nice color. The water tastes even better when cold! I just feel like I am making a healthy choice!I''m really liking that I don''t have to buy bottled water and that this bottle will pay for it self basically. I can use this for 2 months and drink unlimited amounts of water while saving my money, my back, and the environment. Buying bottled water as a college student gets rough especially carrying it from the parking lot to the apartment. I only wish I had this freshman year. Also the filters are 6.95 and they come in green, black, blue, fuchsia, red, and yellow. The filter is connected to the spout so when the filter gets old you can get a brand new color.
Don''t: The package says don''t use where water is micro-biologically unsafe. This is only meant for tap/municipal water.
Do: For first time use: fill the bottle with water and squeeze all the water through the filter to get out the carbon dust from the filter. You can drink right after that but if you want to feel safer you can boil filter(haven''t tried it yet), or wash with hot soapy water (I have tried this). Just make sure the soap is out before you drink and it washes well.
Cons: It makes a weird sound when you drink it because of the filter( like when you''re chugging on a water bottle and you can hear all the water and plastic inside going crazy). But, it''s not that bad because it just seems like you''re really thirsty. I asked my friends if they heard anything weird whenever i drank from it and they just said isn''t that how all of them sound. However, definitely don''t drink from the bottle in a library or something because everyone will hear the sound, stare, and it will be distracting them. Another word of caution is to be gentle when cleaning it because the plastic on the bottle scratches easily, and if you squeeze it too tight like a normal water bottle than the plastic might deform a little and your bobble might look a little funny.
Overall, the bobble is a very good product that is great for the money for those who are wary of tap water or don''t like the taste of tap water too much.

This water bottle is great! It''s such a good feeling to know that I''m drinking filtered water, out of a bottle that won''t go in the trash and move on to a landfill to sit and rot forever. The bottle is somewhat flexible, you can squeeze the water out if you need to, or if you can''t get a good ''suction'' out of the nozzle. The filter seems to be holding up very well (washing it consists of boiling it in water to clean it). The only reason I didn''t give this product a 5-star review is because the nozzle plastic has a wierd beach-ball taste. If they could make it out of some material that doesn''t have a plastic taste, this would get 5-stars for sure.Read Best Reviews of bobble Filtered Water Bottle Green PACKAGE 050BOBGR Here
This is a very great thing to have. I am now saving so much on bottled water. The tap water at my house is so chlorinated that you can not only taste it, but smell it when you tilt a glass back to drink. I also fill it up constantly at work.The only 2 reasons that I didn''t give it 5 stars is because I wish it would come in a larger size for the sake of going to the gym, (It would be nice if it held at least 1 liter); and because the size and shape kind of makes it look like you are holding a baby bottle. Many people have commented about that.
However, it is still definitely worth it, especially if you tend to buy bottled water all the time. This will save you some money and help save the environment.

This is a great bottle for my work environment. They have no purified water so I use the water out of the drinking fountain. The water straight out of the fountain tastes like metal. It is pretty gross. Through the bottle it tastes great. EXCELLENT BUY!!!!
BARBIERI CARBCAGE CARBON BOTTLE CAGE
The aluminum tab eventually does break off... but it took 2 years and ca. 18000 miles of abuse. I bought a replacement, which is now even lighter because of the holes cut out into the carbon shell that holds the bottle.A lightweight, not too expensive, pretty sturdy (my other all-carbon cages dies after a few thousand miles) product. Functional, like their mini pumps. I give it 4 stars ''only'' because it did break after 18000 miles. But quite a few parts on my bike wear out around then...

Jeep Cherokee Men''s Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike Save 10% off
I bought this bike a few weeks ago for $225 shipped to my front door (from another website). The price I paid for it and the amount of high quality hardware is amazing. I have already ridden this bike many times on dry, wet, damp, and muddy trails of all types of difficulties. I have also ridden on roads a little as well. The bike holds up very well on all obstacles. The tires could be a little more aggressive for the type of riding I do, but offer a good compromise for road driving with a continuous center rib. I am 5''11" and I have no complaints about the size. Overall the bike seems well built.Pros:
1. Disc brakes (front and rear) work great even when wet.
2. Full Suspension (adjustable rear)
3. Flawless shifting (Shimano)
4. 24 speed
5. Pre-drilled holes for water bottle cage (no cage included)
6. Easy to assemble
7. Looks good
8. Semi-aggressive tire
9. Light weight (38.5 lbs)
Cons: (these don''t matter to me, but will help you in buying a bike)
1. No instructions
2. Front suspension not adjustable (but stiff enough to not lose a lot of power)
3. Packaging (bike came undamaged but the damage to the box made me nervous when it arrived)
4. Handle bar caps broke (still fit but crooked, and easily and cheaply replaced)
5. Reflectors on pedals broke off (due to my hard riding)
6. Says Jeep all over it
7. Seat is a little too stiff (most bikes have this problem)
8. Semi-aggressive tire
9. Handle bar grips a little hard.
Most of these can be fixed with simple and cheap upgrades, but are just fine how they are. I am just being hyper critical for your benifit.
Since there were not instructions included I thought I would put together a quick guide
Tools needed:
4mm and 5mm allen wrenches. Adjustable wrench, flat and phillips screwdrivers
1. Take bike out and cut all zip ties. Be careful removing the front wheel as the pedal is in between the spokes.
2. Remove the 2 bolts (5mm) where the handle bar goes and turn it 180 degrees. You might notice paint white chipping off, mine was not noticeable. But be careful not to go any more than you need just in case. Quick check: brake hub is on the left if riding the bike and the handle bar shaft is over where the wheel would be and not over the frame.
3. Remove the 4 4mm bolts to where the handle bar itself will go. Put the handle bar in your place of choice and tighten the bolts back down. NOTE! Always tighten these bolts in a star pattern and tightening little by little until snug. When handle bar is in place go ahead and make sure all bolts are snug including the center bolt on top.
4. Go ahead and install the front wheel.
5. Attach the brake line. Look at how the other side in attached and copy.
6. Put the pedals on. They are labeled with L and R. L is left side as if you are riding etc. Use your wrench to tighten.
7. Install seat and adjust to your height.
8. Attach the front reflector with screwdriver
This bike is very easy to adjust. Both brakes lined up perfectly, but both derailleurs needed adjustment, and now shift flawlessly. If you don''t know how, do a quick internet search on adjusting derailleurs and many videos will come up. You can do the same with the brakes if they grind a little.
Buy Jeep Cherokee Men''s Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike Now
Let start off on the Good side. The bike rides Great. I live in the California mountains and I wanted something that can be use on mountain trails. Most bikes where going around $250 with front disk brake. This one had both disk brakes for the same price. Plus full suspension which was a plus. With 24 Gears it easy to climb Mountain trails.The Cons. Like the others said. The manual sucks. The week before I payed for the bike I got my nephew a new 20" BMX mongose bike. Nothing to do with mountain bike. I tried useing the Jeep Cherokee manual but it But the Mongose manual was more detailed then the Jeep Cherokee Manual. It had clear instructions for adjustments.
Would I buy this bike again. Yes.

The jeep cherokee bike is not bad. It has a nice design. Very easy to assemble. The shifting is very nice hit all gear very well. the best part of the bike is by far the disc brake which work perfectly. The price for value is okay. the only problem i have with this bike is the seat being rock hard.I am replacing it which i guess may be a problem with alot of bikes. So with my new seat it is worth owning.Want Jeep Cherokee Men''s Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike Discount?
Just a quick review of the pros and cons that I''ve found so far.Pros:
1)Arrived quickly.
2)Brakes work very well, even when wet.
3)looks good.
4)Shifts very nicely.
5)Very good price for the features it has.
Cons:
1)No instructions came with the bike. (owners manual doesn''t explain how to assemble the bike.)
2)Handlebar neck came attached backwards, loosening bolts stripped the paint...
3)Front brake was slightly warped, and bolt was stripped. (bike shop fixed this for $10.)
4)Handlebar grips are not glued/attached to handlebars. As soon as they got wet (first ride) they flew off. I almost face-planted twice on my way home because of this. VERY dangerous.

Nalgene Black Loop-Top Lid Narrow Mouth Bottle (Black)

BUILT Neoprene Small Bottle Slinger
I wanted a cover for my water bottles and found these. I HAD to have the micro dot. This gets very confusing because there is the 20 ounce tote, bottle slinger and the thirsty tote. I was not sure what to get but I assumed the slinger would be my most versitle. Unfortunately I got confused and there is no snap on the bottle slinger. I still am not sure what the difference between the regular slinger and the small slinger. Not sure that there is. I agree with other reviewers that it has a smell but I think it may go away. This will probably work for my purpose but I did not appreciate the confusion and the lack of a snap. FYI This fits my 27 ounce Klean Kanteen with sport top.
Buy BUILT Neoprene Small Bottle Slinger Now
I love my other "Built" neoprene water bottle holder. (Here: ). I freeze my water bottles and they sweat and get condensation everywhere. I was so happy with my last one, I decided to get a second. Well, that was a bad call.This version (the polka-dot one) is pretty much useless. Yes, your water bottle fits inside, but once it''s in there, the way the fabric on the bottom of the holder is made, your water bottle now cannot stand upright. So you cannot sit it on your desk or on a table, unless it''s on its side. Go with the other one I listed because that one is made differently on the bottom. It has all the purported benefits of this one and allows you to stand your bottle upright.

Works well for any Klean Kanteen 27 oz. and under. Anything larger won''t fit right. It''s nice and snug, protects against condensation, dents, scratches, loss of coolness/heat, etc. However, good luck getting it to stand upright. The bottom is rounded, not flat like in the picture. It will fall down.
26 Oz. 750ml Wide Mouth Satin Finish Stainless Steel Water Bottle
My family knows I own other PMCI S.S. bottles and recently one of them gave me another as a gift. This one is a wide mouth bottle that I didn''t know they carried. While I liked the fine threaded caps on the others I own (no chance of them coming loose) This one has the more common one and a half turns and it is off/on cap. A nylon bushing on the cap compresses when tightened and keeps it tight. Now I have a bottle that I can add ice cubes to. Same high-grade brushed steel that will remain clean looking and take a lot of abuse. The painted bottles always get ratty and unclean looking in just a few weeks. The cap has a new pull-up sipper that allows me to take bigger gulps than my other ones. Also has a comfortable finger hole for the short carry from office to office. I ordered from Amazon one of PMCI''s insulated jackets with shoulder strap for hiking. I''ve had really good luck with these bottles and can tell this one is high quality just like the others.

The material of the bottle is nice, good qualityThe problem is that there is no air valve so the water does not flow out.
I ended up replacing the cap with a new Kleen Canteen cap with a valve and now it works fine.

I''ve been looking for the pull-top water bottles for my three and five year olds to take to school. This one seemed like a great buy except for the shipping (yikes!). So I ended up finding the company''s website and was happy to see that they had a clearance deal (5 bottles for $20 with free shipping). The bottles seem good quality for the price. I agree that the air valve does make a squeeking sound when my three year old uses it but it doesn''t bother me. Only had them for a couple of weeks now but haven''t noticed any sudden malfunctions. I''ll be buying more when we lose most of these at school, playgrounds, other people''s houses.Want 26 Oz. 750ml Wide Mouth Satin Finish Stainless Steel Water Bottle Discount?
Pros:holds a lot of fluid
Cons:
the ring that holds the cap on slightly annoying.
this thing rusted! I used it for a few months, but one day after rinsing it out, I looked in and saw that there was rust on the bottom.
Oggi Corporation 8052.2 Tritan 25-Ounce Sport Bottle (Red)
nice size to carry with you, fits in car cup holders. Very hard to sip your drinks though, I bought 4 of these for going on vacation and practically get a headache from trying to suck the water up through the straw,very well sealed to prevent leakage if tipped over but needs some work on the check valve that is supposed to let the air in as you drink.If you take that little plaastic valve out of the lid it works better but then leaks if leaned over, could see if maybe 1 out of 4 were a problem but all 4 were same, Ended up putting them in recycle bin where they belong....

I love the straw and I love that it flips down. It stays out of sight of my two sons grubby hands. I love the loop at the top so that I can grab it quickly. I love that you have to bite the straw to get the water out because that will keep my one year old out of it for at least a little while. My 2 year old figured out how to do it in a day. It''s well made and sturdy. I wish the neck of the bottle was a little wider because it makes pouring water or putting ice in it just a little harder. I bought the insulating sleeve and can''t imagine this bottle without it. It cuts down on all the condensation, keeps my drinks colder for longer and has a strap on it that lets me hook the drink to my purse when I have no hands free. I recommend the insulating sleeve just as much as I recommend the bottle! I am very happy with this bottle!
Bought this to replace my pre-2008 Camelbak (they didn''t go BPA free until then). I imagine the stainless steel will hold up to drops on concrete and asphalt better. My girlfriend prefers the plastic model because she can see the water level. I get by fine just shaking it and "feeling" how full it is, but something to consider. Also, I own both kinds and the metal one does form more condensation. Again, not exactly a big deal but a potential buyer might want to know.
You can put your finger through the little hole at top when you are walking. My girlfriend uses a carabiner to hook it onto her laptop bag when she goes to work.
One potential drawback. This thing doesn''t fit fully down inside my Mazda 3 cup holder. I own both this size and the smaller one that does fit, but I prefer this one. Camelbaks don''t spill if they tip over and I''d rather carry more water.
Oh, and about the company. I once developed a tear in my Camelbak hydration pack (different product). The company replaced it with one phone call and no hassle.

I can''t say enough about this bottle, but I''ll try and stay somewhat brief...Went and purchased this at an REI store and not through Amazon. I see Amazon has it listed as .75 Liter but mine is a .5 Liter bottle, for what it''s worth.
I got sick of using plastic bottles and having them around with me in the car just not convenient. Plus, I usually do a ton of talking during my 1 hour+ commutes from site to site and well, plastic water bottles just make my water get lukewarm pretty quickly. Not much for carrying coolers around either...
The construction is quite impressive to me. I was worrying about paying 30 dollars for this and being disappointed, but I''m perfectly happy with it. The stainless steel body is obviously a little bit heavy, and I don''t mind that at all feels nice and solid in my hand. There is absolutely no condensation, period. I put ice cubes in this with water and after 10 hours, my ice cubes are still in there and the water is ultra-cold.
The top bite valve was a new experience for me and I find it very unique and has a nice cool-factor. I thought my tongue would get pinched in it or something but it never has not once. It also keeps things out of the straw area so you could simply wipe off the outside of it if you had to and not worry about anything going down the straw itself.
I even keep it at the bed at night because I hate getting up to get a glass of cold water if I''m thirsty at night. I used to have a plastic bottle for this purpose and the ice would always melt quickly and then the water would be warm by the time I woke up to drink it. With this, the water always stays cold whenever I''m thirsty.
I leave it in my car, laying down on the seat or in my cup-holder. It never leaks a drip, period; even if I store it upside down on a passenger seat.
I was deciding between one of these versus a SIGG or Klean Kanteen and I got to compare the KK and Camelbak side-by-side at REI. I was simply impressed with this over the KK. The KK''s likely are nice, but I was already annoyed about the twist-tops that squeal any time you open or close them. Not like it''s a deal-breaker, but ths tops of the Camelbak are a nice plastic that doesn''t leak or squeak.
The finger-holder on the top of the flip-spout section is great too, but it is a little bit of weight on a single finger if your hands aren''t used to it. I''d buy another one of these without thinking twice.

Let me just say first that I''m a big fan of Camelbak products usually they''re function FIRST, form second. I am not sure I can say that of this latest generation of water bottles.They''re quite sharp and the "HYDRATE OR DIE" logo is especially striking. But I have some issues with construction.
I suppose you can''t expect a water bottle to be indestructible, but the problem with stainless steel is it makes you think something IS indestructible so when it''s NOT you''re very disappointed. I dropped one of these in the gym bathroom with somewhere around 14 oz water in it and it put a pretty sizable dent in the bottom corner. I was so frustrated with myself I ordered a new one.
That''s understandable, it can''t exactly be reinforced with concrete filler, but it''s hefty look and feel is somewhat misleading.
My second and primary beef with this water bottle is that it LEAKS. It doesn''t lean out of that famous Camelbak leak proof nipple it leaks at the seam of the lid and the bottle. I''ve got a tiger man grip, but you gotta work this thing down like a wench, like you''re trying to strip the threads off a 3/4" pipe, in order to be able to set it down and not have it leak out. Since I take these to the gym constantly, I''m laying them down in the seat because my cup holders aren''t big enough. I pick it up and there''s a big wet spot in the upholstery where some of the water leaked out, and very annoying to clean if there''s gatorade mixed in. Imagine coffee or tea!
I know Camelbak''s known for water bottles and such but they need to figure out what the problem is here. It happens on both of them so I know it''s a design flaw, not just a fluke. I do have one last bone to pick before I start talking about what I like about them: they''re STUPID expensive. $22-$30 for a water bottle!? Make sure you don''t lose it trust me, you''re pissed. I lost one last semester.
If you don''t plan on laying it on its side, let me say a few things about what I do love about these:
1. The carry toggle/loop never breaks, never deforms, easy to use
2. The nipple seems to last forever and never corrodes or tastes funny (have used OJ, cranberry juice, gatorade, water)
3. The SS surface is pretty nonslip, so you don''t have to carry it by the toggle on top.
4. Carries a lot!
5. Looks friggin boss
