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.

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.Read Best Reviews of Klean Kanteen Sport Cap 2.0 Replacement Cap (3 Pack) Here
These caps readily leak if the bottle is laying on the side. I tried all three caps with the same results.Want Klean Kanteen Sport Cap 2.0 Replacement Cap (3 Pack) Discount?
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
Club Scrub Wet Cleaning Brush for Golf Clubs by JP Lann Save 18% off
its a wire brush, with a container for water and when you squeeze it, the water comes out where the wire brush is.Pros: works fine, carries a decent amount of liquid, hooks onto your bag or where ever you really need it. The wire brush cleans better than you would expect.
Cons: Other reviewer here said it leaks water, and water only comes out if it''s entirely full. I didn''t have this problem but I can see how some people might.
Other thoughts: Having one of these is great if you are playing in the spring and its very muddy outside.

Cutter Backyard Bug Control 32 oz Ready-to-Spray Hose End Insect Repellent Concentrate HG-61067 Save 37% off
I have used the Cutter spay for several years and have been very pleased with the result. This year, I purchased two bottles and neither sprayer worked, water came out but the insect repellant stayed in the bottle. Next time at Menards, I purchased two more bottles, same result, even tried mixing different heads on the bottles, wasted an hour, the bugs win this time. I tried moving the lever into different positions and nothing worked, bottle still full.
The active ingredient is Permethrin. Permethrin is extremely toxic to fish and aquatic life, so if you have a backyard pond, avoid spraying this area. It is also highly toxic to cats, since they lick their fur and ingest the toxin. Cutter warns to keep all pets off the lawn until the application is completely dry. Spray the yard from the outside perimeter in. You don''t want to get the chemical on your feet, as it will cause a tingling sensation (it is a neurotoxin and is classified as a "likely" carcinogen. There is also a link to Parkinson''s disease). Wear heavy shoes or rubber boots when applying. Cutter instructions say to wet down the yard first, but I usually apply in the early AM when dew is still present. Avoid applying in windy conditions as you don''t want this stuff blowing back on you. Cutter says to not apply more than 14 treatments per year.
The product can be applied by simply attaching the nozzle to your hose and spraying. Spray every single piece of greenery possible, as well as the sides of dwelling, window screens, etc. The wider the perimeter, the better the control of mosquitoes.
While there are risks in using any chemical, I apply the chemical carefully per instructions and avoid getting any on my body. The danger of West Nile Disease is significant in this area, and I''d rather apply Cutter''s Bug-Free Backyard than avoid going outside.
konedogThis product has to be one of the most frustrating products that I have used in years. The dispensing system doesn''t work at all. I bought two bottles and, with each, spent about 45 minutes spraying the lawn while getting eaten by mosquitoes before realizing that not a single drop of teh active ingredients were actually getting dispensed out the hose. Fortunately I had an older bottle with a better dispenser and used that bottle to spray. Unfortunately, that dispenser eventually fell apart, and when I needed a new bottle, I was back with the latest dispenser. For this third bottle, the entire dispenser blew up in my face when I turned on the nozzle, so I got the chemical in my eyes, my mouth, my hair, everywhere. Absolute POS. The people at Cutter should be mortified that they sell a product that is this crappy.Cutter backyard changed the formula, now it sucks. It used to be the greatest thing ever, now I need to spray weekly to give me the same results as it used to.
Cutter why did you change your formula?????The cutter spray works fairly well but NOT for 8 weeks as advertised. I live just outside of Houston and nothing really works totally. But this will keep if from getting really bad if I apply it every other week. I would buy it on Amazon but they are asking $14.99 and it is only $9.97 at the local Lowe''s.

Zefal Gizmo Bicycle Bottle Cage Mounting Bracket (Large)
I bought this and the Elite VIP cage mount to compare on my vintage folding bike. Having ridden both, I stuck with the Elite; it holds tighter. If you''re in the market you won''t have to worry about sizing with the VIP either. The Gizmo would probably work just as well if you put something underneath the clamp for added friction. And just so you know they come two to a package.
First, make sure you''ve purchased the correct size/diameter. I purchased a Medium for 1 to 1 1/8" tube. Cages with 2mm thin metal bases (where the hex bolts attach) like Blackburn Competition or Generic/Delta works well but ONE of the large 2 mm semi-circular TABS on the top of EACH plastic base needs to be cut off so the top of the cage base is about even with the top of the remaining tabs and the included hex bolts can then reach and engage the nut threads more completely and without overextending on to the frame.
To cut off the tabs: Scribe a line near the base of the tabs with hobby knife then cut the tabs with a hobby razor saw; or just grind it down with a rotary tool. Main point is to remove the tab/tabs that''s blocking the cage base and preventing the hex bolt from reaching the nut at the bottom for thicker cage bases. The bottom nut is secured in the slot formed by the ends of the band.
For cages with bases thicker than 2mm all four tabs may need to be cut out and may require a longer hex bolt. The four tabs on top of the plastic base are there for a reason (cover the sides of the cage base) but the instructions is just a simple picture without showing how to adapt to different thickness of cage bases.
Zefal could have designed this Gizmo better with included adapters to fit any cage base without having buyers to do the extra modifications. Once fitted and properly tightened on the bike frame, the Gizmo holds the cage snugly and securely and doesn''t seem to be affected by minor road bumps.
Check out my posted pics of modified Gizmo.
Good luck!

This a great mount. It is a little difficult to attach but once on it fits nice and secure. It is easily adjustable and looks great.Read Best Reviews of Zefal Gizmo Bicycle Bottle Cage Mounting Bracket (Large) Here
I''ve read in a couple reviews that some manual adjustment with a roto-tool is needed to make these fit. Well nuts to that. I suppose if I were going to get the toolkit out, I ought to just braze some mounts onto the bike myself.Anyway, these don''t fit any of the cages that I own, at least not without taking a chunk out of the mount, the cage or both. Even if I were so inclined to do that, these things look so goofy with their 1-in standoffs, I couldn''t see mounting this to a bike with a straight face.

Seychelle Straw Water Filter Purifier Drinking Straw (Standard)
Works well and easy to carry with included pouch/case. It gives me peace of mind when drinking from trout streams while fishing or hunting. However, I wish I would have gotten the "advanced" straw. I did not know before ordering that there are several things this straw does not filter out without the upgraded filter. I''m not worried because I am used to drinking from these streams with no filter whatsoever. Also, make sure you cycle some whater through it before using it to get out all the black carbon particles. And leave it open to air dry a couple days after using it before you seal back in the waterproof case or you will likely be drinking mold on your next use.

Klean Kanteen Sippy Cup
Excellent product with a few minor flaws. First, this is a great alternative to plastic cups and the longevity of the product makes the price worthwhile. After its life as a sippy cup, you can purchase a screw on cap and either an adult or a child will be able to use this bottle and continue its use. I purchased two bottles for my 1 yr old son (and a few larger bottles for the parents, so that my son could feel like he''s drinking out of a bottle just like Mommy''s and Daddy''s). Overall, we''ve had a pretty successful experience with it.The Drawbacks:
The main drawback was that the black ring cracked when my son dropped the bottle. However, Klean Kanteen, regardless of where you purchased the bottle, will replace parts free of charge (including free shipping) if something like that happens. The replacement ring cracked also when he dropped it another time. Klean Kanteen sent me TWO more rings and extra inserts and spouts, again at no charge to me. In addition, I had the replacement parts w/in days! So far, the replacement rings have not cracked at all, even when my son drops / throws the bottle to the floor.
The second drawback: when the bottle dropped, it dented, altho that dent is barely noticeable.
The great things about this bottle:
1. It does NOT leak for us at all! However, we are very certain to make sure all parts are tightly fitting together! If they are, no leaking!
2. You can use the white AVENT rings (that go around the baby bottles) and you can easily purchase more AVENT spouts (that come with AVENT sippy cups) and attach those to the bottle for extra caps/spouts. Event AVENT nipples work!
3. AVENT domes fit around the bottle! That''s great if you want to protect the spout during travel.
4. You can purchase other Klean Kanteen accessories for this if you like: carrying case, etc
5. It''s eco-friendly!
6. It has a life long after your child will outgrow his sippy cup needs. Either an adult or a child / teen could use this afterwards. All you need is a screw in cap which you could easily purchase locally or online.
7. The stainless steel used is food grade and will not impart taste to the liquid inside the bottle.
8. The colors are practically scratch resistant! You have to try VERY hard to scratch the coating off these bottles!
9. The color choices are beautiful! I get compliments on my son''s bottles and my bottle all the time! We have blue and orange for my son, and blue and black for the parents. The colors are fabulous, glossy and stunning. The orange is not as bright as I had expected, but it''s still very nice.
10. Great size for a child. Easy for my 13 month old to hold and drink out of.
11. My current rings have not cracked.
12. Excellent (5 STAR) customer service. I cannot say enough things about this company!
I highly recommend this product. It''s not without flaws, but Klean Kanteen is so awesome to work with that I can forgive any mishaps!

Great sippy cup work well and the sippy spout is made out of hard plastic. My toddler likes to chew on the soft ones, so I was a little worried about the durability of the spout glad to say it is GREAT. One thing to note is that I have an older toddler (20m) and ordered the sippy spout he had a hard time figuring out how to suck on it since we mostly used cups. I suggest the sport''s cap it now it perfect.Read Best Reviews of Klean Kanteen Sippy Cup Here
My mother in law bought two of these cups for my kids and I was excited about the option to give them non-plastic cups. Unfortunately, they lasted about a day. What baby doesn''t throw their cup on the floor from the high chair? It broke in pieces the first time I gave it to him. It was also painfully loud to hear it repeatedly hitting the floor! The second one broke soon after that. It''s not insulated so even cold water without ice in it made him unhappy to hold.Want Klean Kanteen Sippy Cup Discount?
This is the best sippy cup it is definitely worth the money. I have been using it for my now 17 month old for a few months and sure it dents when it gets dropped, but the fact that he can drink it in the car and tip it upside down without it spilling or dribbling everywhere is wonderful. Plus, I am much happier with him drinking out of this cup rather than a plastic one with so many crevasses that can breed bacteria.

First Need XL Portable Water Purifier
My son is the quartermaster for his scout troop. We had 3 older (circa 2000) First Need water filters in our troop and they have been used on dozens of trips backpacking all over Michigan and the rest of country. When time the time came to replace the canisters we were not able to find replacements and the older systems had been well used. I came right back to First Need because I knew they worked and was not disappointed. I bought two of these this summer for a trip to North Manitou Island in Michigan for 10 boys & 4 adults. We filtered easily over 50 gallons of water over 5 days from Lake Michigan.. We also had 1 MSR MiniWorks filter... these First Need filters would fill a large Nalgene bottle in about 1 minute, where as the MSR takes 5-6 minutes. We would fill a 5 gallon collapsible water jug at the the lake, bring it back to camp and then, pumping from the jug, fill all the Nalgene bottles (about 15) and everyones water bladders in about 15 minutes using just two of these pumps. Also using the gravity filter option using the storage back works fine but it is slow.. if you have the time or are using a low volume of water, this is very nice feature.On our trip, lake water has a lot of sand. The first line filter at the end of the plastic tube would plug with sand sometimes so you need to clean it and if the pump slows or becomes difficult to pump you need to back flush "FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS" to get it flowing. We only had to back flush one pump during the 5 days we were out. Make sure when you store them, you back flush w/a few drops of chlorine in the water, from a good water source before you put them away.
The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5, is the the pumps have started very minor leaking around the O-rings and I am concerned about longevity. I have followed the instructions to lubricate them since we got back, but have not had them in service long enough to be sure if there is a problem or not. For sure we will test them! Boy Scouts are known for being VERY ROUGH on equipment. If they don''t break it, you won''t using it for yourself.
PROS:
Fast
Efficient
Great tasting water
Fit Nalgene Wide Mouth Bottles & has adapters available to fit others
CONS:
Bulky
Heavier than competitors

Used it on a recent trip with some semi-questionable water (we need rain) without incident. I was looking for a filter that did both bacteria and viruses. This was the only one that claimed to handle both. I was a bit skeptical so I sent it to my mother who is an engineer with the EPA. She sent it to the capitol to the main guy that handles water treatment. He said that the university of Arizona is well respected in this research field and that he would trust it. Good enough of a selling point for me.Read Best Reviews of First Need XL Portable Water Purifier Here
The General Ecology First Need XL Water Purifier is a top of the line water purifier that is a must have when you need fresh drinkable water.

+ Pumping is easy
+ Relatively easy to clean
+ Water tastes good

Copco Sip and Gulp Smoothie
This is the second time I''ve ordered this smoothie cup; first one was for me, second was for my fiance. The first time I bought one, which was months ago, it did come with a straw, so when the second cup arrived without one I knew it was a packaging error. I contacted Amazon and they explained that they were having trouble with this item in the warehouse and that they would ship me a new one, with a straw, as soon as the problem was rectified. I sent the strawless one back (didn''t have to pay return shipping) and received a replacment cup, all parts included, within a couple of weeks.I make a smoothie almost every morning when I wake up, pour it in my cup, stick it in the freezer while I''m getting ready and then grab it on my way out the door. I love it and would highly recommend it!

I thought this cup came with a straw as it is described with a turning straw, little did I know that meant LID! This is very misleading as is the picture. The cup seems of decent quality, but it was a little disappointing. I ordered this for smoothies and ordered smoothie straws, thank goodness, as no straw seems odd to say the least. There should be a disclaimer that straw is just for show. Especially in the same blue color, like it was a set. False advertising if I must say....Want Copco Sip and Gulp Smoothie Discount?

Product is great, was at my house practically the next day. Just note: I went by the picture and thought I was getting 2 Nalgene bottles, one pink & one blue for my daughter.

Innate Flip Top Lid
I took a chance and ordered these to replace the HumanGear caps on my 32 oz Nalgene bottle. They fit perfectly! They also have little silicone stoppers that can be removed to increase liquid flow in the bottle. And I got the blue ones to match my bottle.I''m VERY satisfied with this purchase, and will be buying more.
At first it didn''t seem like it would thread on, and was really loose, but as I screwed it on it straightened out, and made a really nice seal once it was tightened all the way. It can be opened with one hand, which is wonderful after you have been using "The Lid" that comes standard with the Guyot bottles. And the price really can''t be beat. It may not work for everyone, but for those desperate for a way to use their bottle without having to unscrew a massive lid everytime they want a drink, this is a good solution.This review is focused on the innate flip top lid. The little white silicon air valve falls out the bottom and gets lost or possibly swallowed. Innate must have figured this out because, the Pop top lid has a much larger valve, fits better, and a smaller hole which would decrease the possibility of ingestion. This lid has a better feel than the pop top when drinking so it may be worth the risk. Due to the small part neither lid is recommended for small children.

I''ve been obsessing about finding a perfect water bottle, but most of them just have crappy lids. I don''t want a straw, and I don''t want to fumble around with a screw-off lid, and the few with flip-tops are cheap, plasticky and overly complicated. Then I found the Innate lid and it''s almost perfect. The plastic is much higher quality than any other lid. The flip mechanism is sturdy and simple. There''s no latch, but it seems well sealed -if I shake it upside down there''s no leaks. Still, I''m wary of leaving it rolling around inside a pack or gym bag. My only other reservation is the little air valve makes an annoying chirping sound when I drink. Overall I''m happy with it though. I have one on a 32oz Nalgene bottle and another on a 24oz Camelback bottle.Want Innate Flip Top Lid Discount?
I have bought many innate bottles for my family and friends and before I give them as gifts I always replce the lid with one of these tops! I think they are the best for cleaning and less leakage and easy of use!
Schwinn Protocol 1.0 Men''s Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike (26-Inch Wheels) Save 25% off
I bought this bike because it has great qualities for cheap. I knew that for the price that there had to be some things wrong with it, but I wanted the important features to be good. This is a very sturdy bike and I have had a great time riding it. For the cost, there is no bike better. I paid 278 on amazon with free shipping and everything. The bike is very easy to put together. I do suggest you get it tuned by a professional, however, because it took me a long time to tinker with the settings to make it run smoothly. I am very happy with everything about this bike, but there are a few things that may go undescribed.1-The wheels are of very poor quality. The rubber seems really fake and if you are on concrete they skid out easily and leave a lot of rubber behind.
2-There is no place to put a water bottle holder or a hand pump. The rear suspension connects to the bottom bar of the frame and just under the top bar are the cables so there is no place to store a bottle or pump.
3-The front fork and suspension are difficult to adjust. (I havent been able to adjust the suspension yet)
4-Tuning involved: front and rear derailleurs, brakes, straightening the disc break, wheel adjustment.
I am giving the negatives because they are not described by anyone else and they are important to know, but I cant describe how happy I am with the bike. I am 6''0" and it fits me very well. The parts are very durable and when you get everything tuned up nicely, the bike runs just fine!
I HIGHLY suggest this bike to anyone who is looking for a deal on a mountain bike.
Short and simple.. an alright big box bike(idealy for someone 160#s or less), and at least it''s not a bicycle shape''d object. Schwinn is owned by a company known as Pacific cycle company, made in China. With that out of the way... It''s better than a ''mart bike.
1.) The shifters are decent, shimano entry level quality.
2.) A few things that everyone askes, what is the weight? The box it ships in weighs more than the bike, the bike IIRC weighed about 32-36#s.
3.) Front and Rear Derailluers are pretty good. Take the bike to a LBS(Local Bike Shop) for adjustments if you feel that adjusting it is over-welming. I adjusted mine, set the H/L limits shifters worked perfectly. Although I understand that adjustments are not easy for everyone, so if it seems too much LBS''s will help you get it on the road/trail.
4.) I found it to be a common review problem that the front rotor disc was warped. I own a Park Tool Rotor Truing Fork DT-2C , that you''ll need anyways (5-10bucks) pick up one from a LBS or Amazon for a little more, to true the warped rotor. This tool will save you money instead of having to buy a new rotor.
5.) The coilover (rear shock) on mine had a blown dampener, shockeye lenght is 6.5 inches BTW. I bought a aftermarket coilover for it, no more boing-gy. SR Suntour front fork is entry level and was frustrating on a uphill climb (NO Lockout) and rode pleasently otherwise, not just for looks.
6.) 26" wheels are light, and the spokes needed major tightening. Shr valves. F/R has V-brake surfaces machined on them and can be "handed-down" to your kids 26er'' if they don''t have disc brakes. Tires have a waxy coating to keep mud from sticking, that wears off the nubies as you ride. The tires are fairly aggressive too.
7.) The cassette (Rear sprocket) seems stout. I''m 240#s pulling an extra 70#s no catastrophic failure as some mentioned but YMMV.
8.) Rear swingarm has a mount for disc brake. I used the front caliper mounting bracket to mount a caliper on the the rear. You will need another rear wheel that is compatible with disc brakes.
9.) The seatpost is alloy, and 27.2mm not 25.4mm as Schwinn states. This seatpost uses a hex-key to adjust angle.
10.) 1 1/8" threadless stearer tube with typical big-box-bike headset. Lightweight stem and handlebar aswell.
11.) Seat is like a rock, but who sits on a MTB seat?
If you are not too critical on the bike, this is a great bike for a growing kid or someone looking for a entry level full suspension bike. I am happy with it, and would give 4.5 stars to this bike.
Buy Schwinn Protocol 1.0 Men''s Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike (26-Inch Wheels) Now
First off, I''d like to say that I never write reviews, yet I order from Amazon Prime constantly! I had to take the time to review this bike though. I was skeptical ordering a bicycle from the internet (like you might be too) but with an Amazon Prime membership, overnight shipping was $3.99, I had to jump on it. The bike arrived in perfect condition, packaged extremely well and 90% assembled! It takes more time to unpack it then get it up and running and I know nothing about bicycles other than how to ride.What you must assemble:
Screw the Pedals on (make sure you do L on left and R on right) this was really, really easy.
Screw the handlebars on (shifters are already on it) (easy)
Put a little locking pole through the front tire (keep pushing if it''s a little tough) and place the tire on the frame.
That''s about it! It''s really easy. I recommend taking it to a bike shop for a tune-up to make sure everything is tight and the gears shift good and brakes are aligned (cost me $50).
Pro riders will criticize this as a "department store" bike but trust me, if you are a casual rider that wants to ride on the streets and some light off-road, this bike is great. The quality is great, it''s comfortable, the brakes are amazing and to top it off, it looks AWESOME!
I am a 28 year old, 200lbs, 5'' 10" male and I''m comfortable on it (though I had to order a new seat Velo Bio:Logic Bicycle Saddle the one that comes on it is a bit hard but that''s just my opinion).
Looks like the price has gone up a bit since some of the other reviewers have bought it (maybe due to demand) but it''s worth the $300 for sure. Very fun, great quality, nice looking bike. I recommend buying from Amazon, I had it the next day by noon and in 100% perfect condition!

As you can already see, I will give this bike a 3 and one half to 4 star rating. I love the dual suspension, and the front disk brake is great for super fast stops & riding down hills. I got the bike for $286 totala price you can''t beat for a bike this good. I took it off my jump and landed softly after being about 4 1/2 feet high because of the great suspension. So far, this has been my best bike (although I''ve only had three other bikes). It has also done great on drop offs. The pedals have metal spikes, which keep your feet from sliding off, but if your feet slide off and the spikes dig into your ankles, its not laughing buisness! The tires give great traction on dirt trails, and I particularly noticed that while riding up a 20% + grade. Also, the instructions make it hard to put it together wrong. And yes, I would recomend this bike to others.Save 25% off

Not a bad kit for the money and you get two! Buy several to store in different places. Fishing gear in an emergency kit always makes me laugh. Your first priority is protection from hypothermia/exposure either by clothing, shelter or fire. Second is rescue, being found, extraction, etc. I don''t think you''ll do much fishing while trying to keep warm at night, and while extracting yourself or being found the next day, as is what happens in most all emergency survival situations. Fishing gear belongs in an extended stay kit or on a planned fishing trip. I know we all think about crash landing in a remote part of the world and needing to eat something after a few weeks so we better have a fish hook just in case we are near a great fishing lake and the fish are biting... not likely. I''ll take a compass over a fish hook any day! Make a fish trap instead fish swim in and they can''t swim out. While the trap does its work you can prepare firewood or signal for help. Most people couldn''t catch a fish with the best pole and gear anyway, never mind just a hook and some line. PLEASE Help Me Spread The Message... NO FISH HOOKS! The life you save may be your own... learn to make a fish trap. Okay, I''ve done my part. Good luck!
The only downside is that once it''s open, that''s it. It can''t be re-sealed. So it feels like a waste to open it for one or two items (in my case, I needed the duct tape for a quick patch job on a tent and the matches since mine got soaked in water. Basically, once the can is open, your only option is to stuff everything into the contained plastic bag, of course this makes it no longer waterproof or crush-proof. But regardless, a handy survival can to take with you out in the wilderness.

Bought these for my father, an avid outdoorsman. He was tickled that everything fit in the sardine tin. We will pop it open when we camp this summer. Great price, and a great gift for an enthusiastic camper.Save 29% off
