Buy Eco Vessel Kids Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Flip Straw Top Now
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

Buy Seychelle Straw Water Filter Purifier Drinking Straw (Standard) Now
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.

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.
