12 PK Travel Camping Magic Compressed Towels & Waterproof Case

I just received the magic towels and not the waterproof case with water bottle carabiner, for some reason. This is a gift so will go with what I received as I am from Canada and it would be too much of a hassle to send back etc. Will be interesting to see how these little things expand!!!

Groove Accessory Filters by CamelBak Save 17% off

The filters shipped quickly and worked perfectly in my groove water bottle, best bottle for anyone who wants to drink water wherever they are.

If you have the Camelbak Groove, you''ll definitely want to get these. One filter lasts three months, so this two-pack will last you half a year. (I pushed the lifespan of my original filter to over five months of heavy usage because I didn''t realize Amazon had started stocking them; it still worked, though maybe not quite as well). Be sure to rinse the filter before use (as stated in the directions), slide it in, and you''re ready to go. If you are looking at these filters, you probably already have a Groove, so you know how great it is.

These filters definitely get the job done. Others may be cheaper, but these last longer. If you have a Camelbak Groove water bottle or hydration pack, these are a must. Thank you Camelbak.

I love Camelbak products and this just makes them 100% better. The bottle and filters seem expensive, until you realize how much you''re saving by drinking tap water and how many plastic bottles you aren''t throwing away. I love these bottles and filters!!

Fit & Fresh CleanTek Vortex Hydrator

This is not "huge" as one reviewer describes it. It is a 24-ounce water bottle, average for people who drink a lot, and actually smaller than two others that I have. It measures 10" from top to bottom. Nor does it spill all over me. I took the water cooler vortexy thing out as I don''t need my water super cold. But here''s why this is great: it doesn''t sweat! Normally, I would fill up a water bottle with ice cubes and some water, set it on a counter, and ten minutes later there''s a water ring and a sopping wet container. This does NOT do that! I''ve used it a dozen times now and the container does not sweat. Also, the mouth piece is ergonomical and fits my mouth well, it''s easy to drink from. It''s not top heavy (as some are) and it fits in the cup holder in my van. It''s not too round and easily fits in my hand if I''m carrying it around. It is sturdy and doesn''t fall over easily. The side of it is lightly marked with measurements so you can track how much you''ve had to drink. It also "shakes" well pour in your water and whatever powdered drink mix is your choice, screw on the lid, and shake away. This is a GREAT water bottle and I will be buying more... for myself and my friends. I really have been looking for 5 years for the perfect thing and this is it!

My experience is similar to others:

Design:

On the plus side, the drinking hole is the perfect size, and there''s a large airhole under the lid. That combo makes it very easy to drink however much you want, perfect for getting down a post-workout shake when you''re pooped.

On the bad side, it''s too big for post-workout protein shakes. Normally, that wouldn''t matter, but you have to fill the shaker for the ice stick to work, and if you do fill it, you end up with a very diluted protein shake.

For execution, that''s where it failed. Too many times I thought I had the top screwed on fully, only to start shaking and having protein and water go all over the place. But then once it''s fully screwed on so it won''t leak, it''s nearly impossible to get it off again.

But even all this was fine until last week. In the same day, the vortex snapped (I was drying it with a paper towel), and then I dropped the bottle, and the flip-top lid split on the edge. So now what was a 4-star product, because it doesn''t seal at all, is useless.

So this bottle lasted about 4 weeks. Now I''m back to the tupperware shaker I''ve had for over 10 years until I find one with the plusses of this item but without the minuses.

This has the potential to be the near-perfect water bottle and other beverage/drink mix bottle! I say "potential" because of durability and quality problems.

Since I only run a dishwasher load once or twice a week, if I want to carry anything other than plain water in a bottle then I want it big enough to fit my hand inside to reach the bottom so it''s quick and easy to clean by hand. The inside of the lid must be easy to clean too, and that eliminates a LOT of other travel mugs and water bottles. Especially if I use it to carry anything to drink that''s sweet or sticky, I want something that consistently seals tight so it won''t spill on the other things I take to work or in my car.

I found the Vortex Hydrator at Target for seven dollars and it was exactly what I was looking for! The lid is a large very smooth and rounded design with NO hard-to-clean nooks or crannies on the inside. A fantastic design! Several months later and I''ve still only used these to drink water (not sports drinks, smoothies, etc). But what a lot of water! As an added bonus, when you unsnap the cap on the spout it also opens a small hole somewhere to let air in as water runs out. If you are an athlete or there''s any other reason you want to be able to down water FAST, it''s AMAZING how quickly I can drain 12oz or more of water in just a few seconds! (not sure it''s always good to drink water THAT fast...but sometimes you''re in a hurry) Because of the clever valve there''s no unpredictable "glug glug" as air rushes back inside to replace the water the water flows out in a steady stream straight down your throat. I ride century rides, run half-marathons etc, so I drink a lot of water every day so my body will always be well hydrated, and I''ve filled a pair of these three or four times a day, day after day.

It''s like they thought of practically everything. There''s two lips that run up-and-down the full length of the bottle (for the recessed measurements) which give your thumb something to grip when screwing the lid on. Especially helps if the outside gets wet when you fill it up.

And you better screw the lid on tight, or it might leak. I have strong hands, and fingers that are about as long as average for a guy. If your hands aren''t as strong as mine it might be a little harder to get the lid on tight every time. It fits just right in the car cup holders in my car and it''s very stable for such a tall travel cup, so don''t find I''m knocking it over or anything.

Now for the big downside the durability and build quality. I bought three of these early in the summer. One of the three always seemed to leak out around the seal from Day One. There''s one return. This was probably an earlier version because it had a considerably shorter ice wand and "vortex" mixer attached to the lid, and all the others I''ve seen since go deeper than the one you see in the picture above (which means it does a better job keeping your drink colder even when it''s no longer totally full). I haven''t had trouble with any of the newer design bottles leaking consistently they seem to seal well if I screw them on tight. That''s evidence that the company listened to at least one user complaint and responded quickly.

Even with a tight seal, a little water often seems to get into the screw threads and runs out. OK, so now I make it a habit to tip the bottle sideways over the sink or drinking fountain right after I fill it up, instead of waiting to take the first drink and have a little bit dribble on my front. No big deal, especially with a bottle that''s such a great design overall.

However I used the other two bottles several times a day for only two-and-a-half months when part of the cap on the spout broke off a second one. A second return. The very first day I went to use the replacement, IT had a broken spout cap TOO (in fact maybe it was even broke at the store and I didn''t notice it til the first drink). A third return. At this point I actually wrote a letter to the company to tell them it''s critical they fix the spout cap to make it more durable (I can''t remember the last time I wrote to a manufacturer).

I''m still using the third of the original three bottles daily, often several times a day. I hardly ever use the ice wand, and that''s a good thing because it lost it''s seal when I used it a few times to cool down hot cereal. After the third time it suddenly looks like it''s only about four-fifths full. So a word of warning definitely don''t use it to cool anything that''s not already room temperature or cooler!

I see Zyliss has a durable water bottle and a durable sports bottle out there. That''s a brand I definitely trust for good build quality. I just bought the Zyliss sports bottle a couple days ago to try it out, for a different purpose. It has these great recesses that will make it easy to grip when I''m on a really long run (I would probably never carry the large Vortex hydrator in a race anyway!) I can already see they aren''t as easy to clean inside the lid. It doesn''t hold as much water, and I don''t think either one has the air valve that makes it easy to drink water out of the Vortex Hydrator SO quickly and smoothly. I can''t fit my hand inside the Zyliss to clean the bottom easily by hand. But on the other hand, the Zyliss sports bottle says it fits most blenders, which is a FANTASTIC feature for making smoothies! Obviously it can''t both fit blenders AND have a large enough opening to fit my hand inside at the same time. So I would have bought both the Zyliss sports bottle and the Vortex Hydrator for different purposes even if the Vortex Hydrator had no problems. We''ll see.

Let''s hope Fit ''n Fresh responds and fixes the spout cap problem. It''s the one real Achilles heel on an otherwise GREAT drink bottle. They already fixed the length of the ice wand which is the only thing that gives me hope. I''m even more skeptical of the company''s manufacturing quality after reading the reviews of poor build quality on their smooth blend mixer. But then a drink bottle has no moving parts and making a plastic spout cap shouldn''t be so hard should it? If there''s one thing I can''t stand it''s planned obsolescence!

This is a good product for thirsty people! I''m sure it''s meant for creating protein shakes or breakfast smoothies, but it also works very well as a water bottle. The ice core and shaker are easily removable. Measurements are marked on the side in milliliters and ounces, great if you are mixing shakes or monitoring your intake. A textured oval provides the perfect grip for my thumb without changing the shape of the bottle or creating a hard-to-clean area.

Great if you work in a dusty environment, if you''re klutzy and tend to knock things over on your desk at work, or if you have nosy kitties who hop onto your coffee table and try to drink from your water glass! The lid does seem bigger than necessary, but the design makes it very comfortable to drink from.

Finally, it''s important to know -this bottle, though it does fit in my cupholder, is NOT ideal for travel. It isn''t something you could comfortably carry on a walk, and I wouldn''t trust it in my backpack or gym bag. It may leak where the lid meets the cup, or the spout may pop open. You''ll want to keep looking for that bike ride or hiking trip... but the Vortex is perfect for home or work!

This cup mixes very well... it gets all the chunks of protein powder broken up if you shake it vigorously.

however... it fails is some major ways:

The lid for the spout is very hard to get closed all the way.

IT LEAKS!!! when you shake it up it seems to be fine but when you start to drink from it it drips. I have made sure that it is tightened all the way and it still drips.

Another annoyance is that they put a HUGE sticker on the cup that covers the measurements and it is one of those labels that DOES NOT come off in one piece. you have to pic and scrape at it to get it off. very annoying. I am not sure why you would put a sticker like that on an item that is going to need to be washed.

While it does some things well... I would keep looking.

Maxpedition Bottle Holder Save 19% off

I use the 10" x 4" Maxpedition Bottle Holder to fit a Guyot Designs Stainless Steel water bottle using the 32 oz. Backpacker model that is nested in a GSI Outdoor Glacier Bottle Cup / Pot 18fl oz. This combination fits extremely well. It leaves enough room to keep an emergency blanket and compass nested on top of the bottle.

The front pocket holds a signal mirror, duct tape, purification tablets and a Swedish Firesteel Army model.

I bought add ons of a 1.5 inch shoulder strap with a shoulder pad and two Maxpedition Cocoon Pouches which are 2 inches in diameter and 8 inches long. These products make the water bottle a great modular system to add and delete items as necessary based upon your needs.

The breakdown of the Maxpedition Bottle Holder is:

Main compartment: 10" high x 4" diameter, padded, with drainage grommet

Frontal: 6" x 3" x 1.5" with elastic retention PALS attachment webbing

Front and sides Attachments

D-rings for optional shoulder strap Attachment (I highly recommend the shoulder strap)

Utilizes Long Malice clips (sold separately)

Overall another great Maxpedition product when you need minimalist supplies for a hike or other outing. Highly recommended.

I bought two of these Maxpedition Bottle Holders. They fit a little snug so if you have a cup that your 32 ounce water bottle fits into, it will be extremely hard to get in and out of the bottle holder. The most disappointing thing about it was that the zippers on both of them are really hard to open and close. Maxpedition always us high quality zippers on their gear, but these are awful. The rest of the materials and workmanship is up to Maxpedition''s high standards. I would not buy them for everyday use as it would be too frustrating to open and close very often. They would be fine for occasional use such as a bug-out-bag or hurricane/earthquake kit.

Buy Maxpedition Bottle Holder Now

I am in total agreement with what another reviewer said: the Maxpedition Bottle Holder is a TIGHT fit if you have a cup into which the 32oz bottle fits --but that is not the problem I have nor why I only give this item 2 stars: the zippers are absolutely terrible.

In fact, with or WITHOUT anything in the holder, the single top zipper must be fought with to close; then try to get it freed to grab a drink. It takes two strong hands and YOUNG, patient, fingers as well as a fight to open this floppy zipper, which is lighter-duty than my standard jeans zipper that works easily. And the side pouch zipper is almost as reticent to open or close. For the price, this is intolerable. Be aware, no shoulder strap comes with this bag and there are no MOLLE/PALS attachment snap straps on the back. At this price both should be included.

Nonetheless, other than the frightful zippers, the rest of the bag and its construction is acceptable. I will use it for a bit to see if the zippers loosen up, but I have my doubts; might just wind up sewing a snap fastener on the top to keep it closed. Then again, as tolerant as I am ... this just might turn out to be the first item I return in over four decades.

I use this, with a small psk, rat-3 knife, and a guyot bottle, as my woods walking kit. Heavy duty and easy to use. My only complaint is that it didn''t come with a strap!

I purchased this bottle holder after reading that others had success using it with their Jetboil systems. I am very pleased to say it is a well built pouch that fits my Jetboil Flash like a glove.

The case leaves extra room to store an additional Jetboil fuel canister giving you the ability to carry 2 canisters (one inside the Jetboil canister and one outside), as well as utensils an cleaning materials in the front zippered pouch. The fit will be a bit tight at first, don''t hesitate to stretch the case by forcing your Jetboil into it, it''s built tough and can handle it, eventually fitting like it was custom made for it.

I will upload a customer photo if I can that shows the relative size of this case to a Jetboil Flash and illustrates how much I have packed into my Maxpedition Bottle Holder case.

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.

We had borrowed a neighboring camper''s water containers to fill our camper''s fresh water tank. These worked perfectly for what we needed.

Innate Vite+ 24oz Colored Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Pop Top

I ordered three of these bottles and was very disappointed that one of them was rendered useless within 24 hours when a piece holding the plastic nozzle broke off. The others leak a bit if not kept upright and there is a tiny plastic valve in the lid that tends to fall out and then they leak all over the place. They are attractive bottles but not at all practical.

Sawyer PointTwo Purifier with Bucket Adapter Kit with Faucet Adapter Save 11% off

The Sawyer Point Zero Two takes the water filtering process up a notch to clear out viruses. I wanted a filter for emergencies. I''m not a "Survivalist" (at least not yet), but I thought it would be sensible to have contingencies just in case. One can go a long time without food but only days without water.

We have rain barrels and other sources of available non-pipe waterjust need to filter it. This product is very basic: drill a hole in a bucket(not one used for chemicals) attach the hose ~1.5" from bottom, hang it up, and let gravity do the work. The equipment provided, as seen above, is very minimalalmost seems like one needs more for the money. But one''s paying for the technology of the hollow, fiber membrane filter.

A 3'' hose and a 5 gallon bucket produces 87 gallons(327L)/day. If the water is turbid, muddy, lots of particulates, one can screen it through a T-shirt, use a shorter hose or allow it to settle. It''s very simple to backwashjust attach the syringe and flush with clean water. They recommend backwashing every 1000 gallons if fairly clear; if turbid every 10 gallons.

It states it removes 99.9999% bacteria/ protozoan(e.g. Cryptosporidium) and 99.9997% viruses including Hepatitis A & E, Poliovirus, Norwalk, Rotavirus, Adenovirus, Coxsackie, Echo, Reo, Astro, Corona(SARS).

OK great. Do I need all that, living here in North American not near any piles of human or animal waste? No, it''s overkill, but my wife freaks out about any chance of drinking contaminated H2O.

It''s a neat and simple unit. I''ve had no problems. Sawyer boasts it will last a million gallons. And one doesn''t need a cataclysm, take it camping. Just remember, it doesn''t purify chemicals out.

I have used a Sawyer .1 micron filter with bucket adapter for the last few months. Unlike the .02 filter advertised here the .1 is designed to filter out 99.9% of bacteria but not viruses. I have been using it to filter lake water as well as shallow well water. I have used both for drinking water as it has done an excellent job with both. The lake water does tend to clog up the filter more quickly but it can be easily and quickly cleaned by back washing it with clean water with the syringe provided. I was able to purchase the .1 filtering kit on ebay quite reasonably for $46. For my purposes the system has worked great and I would recommend it. It should be noted that the .1 I use will filter faster as .1 is fives times larger than .02.

All the Sawyer filters are fantastic. This one is significantly bulkier than the Squeeze or the other .1 micron filters. It also filters more slowly, but I''m really cautious about water sources I''m not sure of, and this gives me extra peace of mind.

They shipped on a day when it was below freezing, and the filters sat outside over night. I was concerned they''d need to be sent back, as the web site warns that the filters may not work after being frozen. I called customer service and their rep said that only matters once they''ve had water through them. Their customer service was quick and friendly. I''m not looking anywhere else for water filters ever again.

I live in LA, California and the water is ok, but I wanted to see what a good water filter can do. I pre-filtered the water with a Brita pitcher and then ran it thru a 5 gal bucket with the Point Zero filter using a food grade 5 gallon bucket that cost $4 at Lowe''s,and I got one of those gamma lids that spins on the 5 Gal container at Home Depot. The results were eye popping amazing. The water after stage one using the Brita was neutral tasting. After running the Brita water through stage two of the Point Zero Two purifier, the results were really amazing. The water taste sweet. others who try it say the same. I empty the 5 gallon main supply container into one of those 2.5 gallon BPA free water container from Walmart that cost about $9. Then into the Camelback .8L with the bite value removed and a small stray in its place. I know it is a bit of an overkill, but this is about the best tasting water I remember ever drinking. Very surprised it taste so great. This water deserves the gold metal. Try this experiment if you want the best tasting water you will ever drink. My next step is to kick back and enjoy. Have a great day.

I have no problems with it leaking as others said, I bought two and both were good. The bottle was about exactly what I expected from the pictures and description, it fits well in a standard bike bottle holder. The only problem someone might have is that a bike holder puts a lot of scratch marks on the bottle sliding it in and out so it will not look new after your first drink. I lost one of these bottles and I will buy another to replace it.

Oggi 12-Ounce Stainless Steel iSIP Sippy Bottle

This is a great stainless steel sippy at 1/2 the price of others. The stainless steel cup portion feels solid and well made. It does dent when my daughter throws it at the floor, but so does every other stainless steel container we have. When it arrived, it had a small crack in the black ring. I returned it for a replacement. Since I ordered from Amazon, the return was very, very easy to do, didn''t cost me anything, and the replacement came less than 48 hours later. The spout seemed awfully dirty looking on both the original and the replacement. The day after I received the replacement, I found the exact same cups at Big Lots for $4 and picked up two of those. Their spouts were a little grungy looking too. I would have washed them before using them anyways so it didn''t bother me that much considering the savings on an otherwise great product. The spout is identical to Avent cup spouts and they are interchangeable in case you would want to have extra spouts. I also like that the Oggi sport caps also fit on this sippy so she can use it as a water bottle when she outgrows the sippy. Found a couple of those at Big Lots too (woohoo!) I really love that the price of this made it affordable to switch to stainless steel.

My daughter is 17 months old and doesn''t have a problem with the size of the cup. However, I have to be careful not to fill it all the way up since she is used to 8 oz. of drink at a time and really doesn''t need as much as fits in the Oggi bottle at this point. I would say that this sippy is probably too big for babies under 1. They may have a hard time getting their hands around it to hold it and may have trouble with how heavy it is when it is full. If you have a small baby, you will probably want to get something a little smaller and easier to hold and wait on this one until they are older.

UPDATE: I laid it sideways in my bag so that my daughter wouldn''t see it and want it in the museum and it leaked all of its contents into the bag. Luckily, it was water. I still like this cup a lot and for the last week, I have not had a problem with leakage, but also have not left it laying on its side. I have had avent cups before, so I am fairly certain that all of the components were assembled correctly. I will just remember to keep it in the side drink pockets of my diaper bag to keep it right side up. If you are looking for something to throw in a bag or put in a lunchbox, this probably isn''t it.

My son has used his for about two months now, and we''re already calling it quits with this bottle and buying a different brand. First of all, it is not spill-proof it leaks fairly often through the lid. Second of all, after two months of what is probably considered standard use by an 18 mo boy (i.e., thrown and dropped quite often), it has accumulated lots of dents and the paint has chipped off and gotten on my child''s hands and, subsequently, food. Third strike: When cold liquid is placed in it, it makes the bottle very cold. Have to put a cozie on it to prevent my child''s hands from freezing. Only pro is the spout very durable, and stands up well to teeth.
