Nalgene ATB w/ Lid BPA-Free Bottle (22oz Pink)

Nalgene ATB w/ Lid BPA-Free Bottle - 22oz Pink, 22ozIt''s very comfortable to drink from and can be cleaned easily. Love the fact that is BPA free. My only issue with it is that I''d like it to be bigger, i usually drink a lot of water during exercises.

You can get a survival filter that''s made for these bottles for around $15 and it removes EVERYTHING from the water. Bacteria and chemicals.

I think this water bottle/filtration system will be with me for a long time.

Eco Vessel Kids Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Flip Straw Top Save 12% off

Eco Vessel Kids Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Flip Straw TopI can''t say anything good or bad about this cup because I''ve had to stop using it after the first time I gave it to my 2.5 year old son. I figured since it was a straw cup it would work for him even though the age is listed at 4 and older. Trust the listed age for this cup. The first time I let him use it, he pulled the rubbery straw cover off with his teeth. He could have very easily choked on it. Really scared me to see that little piece of rubber. It seems to be a great straw cup of good quality, but the rubber straw cover just comes off way too easily for little kids and I won''t be using it.

I wanted something that was less plastic, unbreakable, and easy to clean for the kids. It comes apart to clean, and is of heavy construction. I still wouldn''t put milk in any of these but it looks like it may clean up slightly better than my kids camelbak stainless straw cup. The flip top is easier than the "button" on the camelbak for my 2.5yr old, but the 5yr old gets both open okay. For some reason both of them have plastic threads fused onto the stainless cup as if stainless steel threads wouldn''t have made a good seal with the lid? It is my only point of concern about germs hiding in there. I also like that the Silver Express cup has less graphics/decorations than the camelbak, I prefer low profile. I have thrown them into a bag all day and they don''t leak. They came with two spare straw parts in case some get damaged or lost-nice!

UPDATE: Carol Charles of Eco Vessel responded immediately (on a SATURDAY) to my email regarding the problems detailed below. She is replacing our bottle right away and tells me that Eco Vessel is now manufacturing stronger spouts for their kids bottles. Carol has been eager to resolve our issue, and it''s clear to me that there is truth in her statement, "Our company strives to offer quality products and responsive customer service." I''ll add another update once we''ve had a chance to try out the new spout for a week or two.

We have had this bottle for nearly a month now, and after using it regularly for this period, I would not recommend it. My daughter loved her new Eco Vessel bottle and would eagerly show it off to her friends. Unfortunately, cute looks do not a great water bottle make.

The pros:

*easy to clean in contrast to other bottles

*stainless design is safer than plastic and bpa free

*aforementioned "cuteness"

The cons:

*within a week, a significant tear in the TPR spout, though my daughter was instructed not to bite it (these may tear from bending, as well as from biting)

*a short-distance drop--my daughter dropped it from about 2''--to the linoleum floor caused the plastic mouth of the bottle (onto which the drinking top screws) to break

I''ve posted pics of what can happen to this bottle. According to Eco Vessel''s website, this bottle "is stronger and made to hold up to the drops and falls that are sure to come along with your child''s active lifestyle," and the spout is "designed to withstand strong bites and tears in many conditions." Well, there''s a lifetime warranty (I''ve written the company and will follow up with their response), but I''d save myself the time and frustration and choose something else until Eco Vessel redesigns their kids'' bottle.

The mouth piece is easily punctured by sharp little teeth, and my three year old perforated it with a dozen holes within days. It still works I guess, but now I can hear her drawing in air with every sip (causing burps and potential discomfort). Compared to the mouth piece on the CamelBak, which can be chewed and chewed on without being damaged, this one is disappointing! Too bad, because I love everything else about the cup.

Want Eco Vessel Kids Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Flip Straw Top Discount?

We''ve tried others. They have all fallen short. Ones that are stainless steel but have the plastic pull top...they leak...ALL over lunches! ANNOYING! [to say the least] Well today was the first day of school, and My six year old [1st grader] absolutely LOVES it!!! Her favorite part is that it''s easy to use and it doesn''t leak all over her lunch box. The sippy part doesn''t come off...it seems quite stuck to the thermos. Maybe others were defective...against my better judgement, I tugged on it quite a bit...nothing. It''s stuck there. We got the pink one with a tree. Don''t know if that helps but I''m definitely buying some more. Anyways, these are awesome. Glad, SO GLAD, that I finally found a thermos in line with my eco/green views and it''s cute [important if you''re six lol] and WORKS like it''s supposed to [ie: sans the leaking!]

Bicycle Generator Kit 300 Watts DC Pedal Power Generator Save 28% off

Bicycle Generator Kit 300 Watts DC Pedal Power Generator With Dynamo, Belt, Plate, StandI did note that this kit contains reworked, or pokey parts, as well as strong and shiny ones. Costs too much?

I see now that this seller sells both the belt-driven generator, and a "friction" driven generator whose description matches what I received. So likely the error was wrong item shipped, rather than intentional bait and switch. Both items are priced the same.

Seychelle Straw Water Filter Purifier Drinking Straw (Standard)

Seychelle Straw Water Filter Purifier Drinking StrawWorks 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.

Picked this up as an emergency filter should my main filter so south on a long hike. I used it a few times this summer as a test and still alive to write the review. Great as a light weight backup.

I purchased this as part of a birthday gift for my nature-loving brother. I had it shipped directly to him. The only problem was it came to him in an unmarked package with no description or instructions. He is pretty smart and figured it out but it should be included. Maybe even some additional information about related products.

He has not used it yet, so I cannot speak to its effectiveness.

H2O4K9, Stainless Steel K9 Water Bottle (9-1/2-Ounce)

H2O4K9, Stainless Steel K9 Water Bottle, 9-1/2-Ounce, Racecar RedNo more smelly water bottle for dogs. Healthy stainless steel, easy to clean, lightweight both large and small bottles. Small water bottle top doesn''t have same scoop shape as large bottle, but my dogs don''t have a problem drinking from either. Small bottle good for shorter walks, under an hour. Excellent product!

SodaSparkle DIY Carbonated Soft Drink Maker

SodaSparkle DIY Carbonated Soft Drink Maker - 1.0-Liter Extra Fizz Pet Eco-Friendly BottleI purchased this for the SodaSparkle, and I''m so glad I did! The larger, 1.3 liter bottle results in a subtler fizz, which is perfect for regular drinking. Now and again, I want to make something like a NY egg cream or ice cream soda, and you just need more fizz! I wasn''t sure if there would be much of a difference between the bottles, but there is. The Extra Sparkle bottle, it delivers.

Very good, just wished it kept the fizz for a bit longer, anything over 24 hours is a bit flat

Bluewave 1 Gallon Refrigerator Bottle

Bluewave 1 Gallon Refrigerator BottleI purchased this item for use in my work van so I could wash my hands or rinse off items easily. It was the perfect size to fit in my van side door, and the valve allows one-handed operation. The problem is the valve leaks. It''s not leaking where the valve attaches to the bottle, but from the valve itself. Others mentioned this in their reviews, but I''d hoped it wasn''t a common occurrence. The lid liner (waxed cardboard) is also cheap and comes out whenever you open the bottle. A simple rubber gasket would have been much more effective.

My advice, look for something better.

This worked out great for my parents--easy to handle and fill! Fits perfectly in the fridge and doesn''t take up much room!

Lezyne CNC Al Bottle Cage Save 33% off

Lezyne CNC Al Bottle CageI''m going to be honest, I bought these cages because they''re purrty. Almost all of the "high end" water bottle cages that you see these days are made from carbon fiber. I wanted a set of aluminum cages that echoed my proud stance to choose an aluminum bike over a carbon fiber one, and I wanted cages that were just as beautiful as the bike. The bike is a Cannondale Caad10, by the way.

The cages themselves are beautifully machined and attached with no problems to the bike. The black finish is fairly glossy and there were no chips or scratches upon receipt. As far as how they perform, what can I say? They hold my water bottles just fine, and there is no rattling of the cage against the frame of the bike. They seem to be a bit stiffer than a standard metal water bottle cage as far as insertion and extraction of the water bottle is concerned, but it is not too problematic.

As noted above, buying these fancy cages was more of a cosmetic consideration than a performance oriented one. My bike is white with black lettering and some very dark blue on the rear seatstays. I bought the black cages to offset the white frame and match with the black handlebar tape and black saddle. I almost pulled the trigger on the white ones with black Lezyne lettering, and I''m still kind of regretting that I didn''t purchase those in lieu of the black ones, just to see how it changed the look of the bike. I still might do it.

The cages are pricey, especially since they are equivalent in price to some of the carbon cages out there, but they are quality, and I can''t imagine one ever breaking. You could probably say the same about a three dollar metal bottle cage as well. It is not a rational decision purchasing cages such as these, but if you are like me, many of your bicycle and bicycling related purchases will not be rational decisions. These were purchased for vanity''s sake, pure and simple. Taken in that context, they have more than satisfied this customer.

Logo Chair Auburn Tigers 2 Strap Backpack

NCAA Auburn Tigers Team BackpackLiving in north Georgia it is hard to find auburn stuff so I ordered this one online. Looks great at first but the zippers did not last if you actually want to carry any books in it. Poor quality for actual use. It lasted about two weeks before the zippers ripped from the seams. And that is just carrying one text book and a notebook. If the price were cheaper not a bad deal, but definitely not worth the $45 I paid. We ended up investing about $65 in an under armour backpack and it has lasted over a year an is still in great shape.

Nalgene Wide Mouth Square Storage Bottles

Nalgene Wide Mouth Square BottleThese bottles were bought to replace the juice pouches I put in my kids lunches everyday. These are the perfect size, at 8 oz. The wide mouth makes it a snap to put them in the dishwasher and clean. They don''t leak and the kids never have trouble putting the tops back on, tightly too. They are square, so they take up less space and fit better in the lunch bags. They don''t say it anywhere on the bottles, but Nalgene products are BPA free and made in the USA. I''m confident that these are too. Best of all, no more juice pouches that need to be recycled or left in a landfill. (4 juice pouches a day, 5 days a week for 10 months = 800 pouches)

So, I was worried about this, but the product description said "bottles" so I took the risk. I lost, this is only ONE bottle not a pack of bottles. If you were looking to pay $7+ for a single plastic bottle I guess this is for you.
