Yakuzzi Drink Holder for Kayaks, Easy Snap-On Installation, Orange

I purchased these for my wife and I. There are both going back tomorrow. The previous reviewer was right. The drink holder will not stand upright in a fixed position as shown on the web page. The bottle just swings in space and is real irritating when you are paddling. The holder is too small for a one liter wide mouth bottle which is what we prefer to use in our kayaks. It''s also too short for a bicycle type water bottle.

Eh. If you are a kayaker, and you''re out for just a few hours and you want a 16oz bottle of bottled water, then this is for you. If you are in a canoe on a 5 day trip and a 20oz water container. then...not so much. It has a funky clip that slides from the side which is difficult to do with everything attached and dangling. It is so it can be used with different profile boats, I understand, but the idea of having a quick, detachable drink holder just doens''t work here. The materials and sturdiness are fine, it just didn''t work for how I needed to use it. The mesh bag is a cool "extra" for wettable items.

I''m leaving it behind my next trip.

Buy Yakuzzi Drink Holder for Kayaks, Easy Snap-On Installation Now

The Yakuzzi is exactly what the promotion says. It evens holds a water bottle bigger that what it says so I was happy about that. I''ve put my standard stainless water bottle,that holds at least 20 oz,into it and it fit into the kuzzi part just fine. (The kuzzi is the same size as kuzzis that are sold at most stores for plastic water bottles and beer bottles. As far as slipping down, I think that your kayak would have to have a lip of some sort to hold it from slipping, but it works great on my boat, AND you can adjust the angle up or down depending on the bottle size that you are using simply by tightening or loosening the draw string. *My only concern is that once clipped onto the boat, it is a little more involved than just reaching for your water bottle once you decide you want a drink. You either have to remove the bottle from the Yakuzzi or unclip the kuzzi part from the boat clip or unclip the entire thing... can be done but it will take a bit. I wish it could be made with a more permanent type bottle holder rather than just a kuzzi, then you could easily slip your bottle in and out of it while on the go.

I think this product is overpriced. I also don''t understand why it''s so highly rated. I figured because it allows you to (sort of) securely hold a drink/bottle in your boat without having to drill permanent holes to attach a drink holder. I think it''s flimsy and it doesn''t hold a bottle when it''s full, and the clips aren''t a secure fit onto the rim of the kayak cockpit. It wiggles around and gets annoying, in my opinion. I don''t see myself using this on a daily basis. I think a Nalgene bottle would be easier.

On a positive note, it doesn''t come unattached from the rim, and it holds a soda better than a taller water bottle. Haven''t tried a beer bottle yet, buuuut I think that would end badly.

Powerade 32oz Clutch Bottle and 15x25 Towel

i definitely love the water bottle. it holds a lot of water and it never leaks water. great for gym. just make sure you dont put anything other than water in there, otherwise cleaning could be difficult due to the shape.

Bell Universal Water Bottle Cage

I use it to mount a water bottle to my schwinn airdyne that doesn''t have any standard mounts. It is a little strange looking because it offsets the cage from the frame by almost an inch, but it mounted just fine with a little adjustment.

For the price, I thought that this cage would be a good bargain compared to some of the more expensive adjustable cages. I picked mine up at a Walmart for about $8.00. The adjuster is a pain in the neck to set, and the rubber "protector" barely does its job. You''re better off just spending a couple more dollars and getting a Velcro attachment system.

Nathan Kids 320 ml Kid Cap Stainless Steel Bottle Save 2% off

Nathan Kid''s 320ml Steel Bottle with Flip Straw, Lilac

This cup is well made and is quite durable, or at least the stainless steel one is. My son has struggled with the concept of a straw but with the help of heavy plastic straws he has been able to learn.

This cup in particular has an exceptionally hard straw that won''t easily be chewed. We have had others that were hard but just not hard enough.

The adult version of this cup has a soft outer around the straw part. I do not suggest it for kids that chew. Nor do I suggest the thin plastic version of this cup either. Most toddlers and kids are not gentle with a cup and heavy plastics barely hold up I am sure a thin one won''t.

The straw does leak, but not near as much as other straw cups, and I kind of expected this to happen. It is the nature of a straw. I am simply teaching my child how to set their cup down upright rather than tossed wherever.

I wish this cup was offered in a wider variety of stainless steel colors, but maybe with time it will be.

EDIT:

I wanted to update my review now that a year has passed. Now as of March 2012, this cup is still fully functioning and in great shape. I keep telling myself I will buy a second, but I never have a need to when this one gets the job done.

My special needs toddler still is only physically capable of using a straw, but it is holding up well to his chewing and everyday use. We see a few scratches from his teeth marks, but nothing detrimental to the function of the cup.

I love the Nathan bottles in both adult and kid size. These are great for back to school. Non toxic, attractive and love the wide mouth for easy cleaning. They fitt great in a kid''s lunch box, and they are ergonomic and easy to hold for small hands. Comfortable spout and no leaking.

I love this water bottle. I did have to send the first one back b/c the spout part broke off. Amazon sent me a replacement one the next day. Great customer service!! And my little one is still loving it!

Tried 4 different types and this one was the best hand''s down. Very comfortable to hold, easy to open and drinking from the built in straw is a breeze. The stainless exterior seems to keep the drink cool longer, too. Loved it so much, we ordered 4 more.

When I don''t have time to wash the straws I just hand over the straw-less cup and my 2 year old uses it like a sippy... Something to note:

1) this is not spill proof

2) it seems virtually impossible to drink until the cup is empty

I also got the Babalabels for them and it fits great: babaLABELS Personlaized Reusable Container Labels

Nathan Trail Mix Water Bottle Belt Pack

Its Was the best price around and I looked every where. The shipping was super fast and the item was as described and works grate. I was so happy I had to get one for my husband as well. Thank you :)

Insulated Bottle (1.5 Liter)

This item is the greatest.Used it when it was so hot out.I froze 1/2 bottle night before in freezer with lemonade.Filled other half with refrig lemonade the next day.It stayed with ice in it all day.This is the best and all should own one.

I really am pleased with this product. I used this during my trip to Europe and Alaska. I froze 1/2 the volume overnight and filled with water in the AM. My water remained cold for greater than 12 hours. Nice! I highly recommend this product for long excursions. The strap made transport quite convenient. I met my hands were left free to do other things. Also useful for a day of hiking or boating.

Buy Insulated Bottle (1.5 Liter) Now

I''ve been using this bottle holder for years. I''m on my 4th one (cat got one and the dog got another I should get THEIR review....) Long straping makes it easy for me to have thestrap as long as I like it. I rather like to do the cross body strap and I can with this strap, but if I want to just put it over my shoulder or hold it in my hand, I can adjust it easily. The bottle bag holds the 1.5L bottles. The insulation works well. I''ve used no bag on a frozen bottle and this bag on a frozen bottle and the cold water lasted a lot longer. The zipper is quite sturdy, the straps are thick and strong, the zipper is well-sewn. I definately recommend this carrier for people who need to carry water and like it to be cold.

Thank you.

I bring this all the time for work. If you freeze about 2/3 of the bottle and fill the rest with liquid it will last for at least 8 hrs. The water bottle inside seems like it is cheaply made but i never had a problem with it. Overall a great product!

I''m a drummer who regularly works gigs that are outdoors or in un-air-conditioned environments in Florida. Needless to say, I consume a lot of water during the course of a gig. This bottle holds more than enough to get me by. If you''ve looked for an insulated water bottle, you know how difficult it is to find one of this size. Yet it is very lightweight and easy to carry. The plastic bottle inside the cover is very thin, yet it''s protected adequately by the insulated cover. The drinking spout opens and closes by pull/push and has proven to be very reliablethere is absolutely no leakage when it''s in the closed position. The carrying strap is easily adjustable, and extends far enough to accommodate being slung over a shoulder. The bottle can be kept in the freezer, as long as the spout is kept free of water (i.e. by tilting the bottle).

The only minor downside is that the bottle, when full, is just a bit "tippy".

Sigg Big Kids Water Bottle (0.6-Liters) Save 14% off

I have to tell you that my review will be little biased because I like SIGG product. Nothing is out of ordinary, but I have to tell you that I do not like the cap that it came with. it is hard to operate, bulky. would recommend regular traditional bottle cap.

I have SIGG bottles with the regular, screw off caps. This sports cap needs to come with instructions. I learned how to use it after leaking water everywhere. Are we supposed to automatically know how to use this cap? I don''t think so!

Bushwhacker Shasta Black - Insulated Bike Water Bottle Holder Save 50% off

Bushwhacker Shasta Black - Insulated Bike Water Bottle Holder w/ 22 oz. Bottle - Two Point Bike Frame & Handlebar Attachment w/ Belt Loop

GREAT Product! My grandchildren and myself love it. It''s a Water Bottle that goes into a case. So easy to put on (unlike all the rest that you have to screw on, etc.) Just velcro it anywhere you want on the bike.

Will definitely order more for others who ride bikes. Great item and reasonably priced. Couldn''t be happier.

I got this to attach to my belt while in Africa for a month this summer. I like to be very hands free so thought I''d give this a try. I tested it out the other day while hiking. The holder itself is wonderful. I actually used the bigger/wider vertical loop to go through my belt loop instead of the little flappy one on top and liked this fit much better. It was very snug and didnt flop around at all.

That being said, the water bottle it comes with isn''t quality. It doesnt have good suction so when you drink, a lot of air comes with it, making the drinking experience the opposite of pleasurable.

The velcro strap that secures the water bottle is very nice and allows you to put a variety of bottles in the holder instead of the one it comes with.

I highly recommend buying this if you are looking for a good holder. If you are in it for the water bottle, get something else.

I''ve been looking for a water bottle holder for my Brompton folding bike. This one looked pretty decent, and it was at a good (i.e., inexpensive!) price.

It arrived VERY quickly, and the packing was just fine. I quickly put it on my Brompton, fastening the vertical loop of rip&strip tape around the handlebar and the horizontal one around the stem.

It works fine. With only two attachment points, it does sway a bit. If I use this regularly as a bottle holder on this bike, I''ll wrap a toe clip strap or something around the bottom for a little extra stabilization. Note: you would NOT need this if you were fastening it to your belt or carrying by hand. And you wouldn''t need it if the little bit of swaying it does doesn''t bother you. I just like a little bit of extra security.

I didn''t go over any big bumps in my test rides, so I don''t know if the water bottle would pop out if I did. There is a rip&strip strap at the top of the holder that might be useful in cinching the bottle in a little tighter. That''s not quite as good as a drawstring, but it would probably help.

I did try my Kleen Kanteen bottle in the holder. It''s a little tall for it, but I think it would work in a pinch.

Bobble Replacement Filter Save 30% off

The bobble products are well made and work great. I work at a place that does not supply water, except through a water fountain. The water from the water fountain tastes like a tablespoon of rust is added to every cup. The bobble completely removes the rusty taste.

Love my Bobble bottle and filters. If you''re a frequent traveler and like your water at the airport, on the plane, at the hotel, etc... this bottle is a must. With airport security restricting water bottles through security, this filter is a great money saver. Instead of having to buy a bottle every time you go through security, just empty the bottle before, then refill after security. Also, when I get to the hotel, I don''t have to pay $5 for a tiny bottle from the fridge.

I don''t enjoy the chlorine after taste of tap water. I only drink water so when I go to visit with friends I can just take a 16.9 oz bottle along fill up at the tap and have a tasty bottle of water without the yucky twang tap water usually gives you.

It works just as it is supposed to, as long as you wash it out first and squirt some water out before drinking from it initially, you should be fine. It was nice and cheap so I would definitely get another.

CamelBak Kids Bottle Accessory 2 Bite Valves/2 Straws (Lime)

Got these in the mail and after washing I noticed the valves appeared to be sealed shut just like some of the reviewers said they had found theirs. Was very agitated to think I might have to cut it myself and mess it up some how. However after squeezing and twisting the tip of the valve a little, it opened by itself to a perfect slit. So it is precut, you just have to play with it.

This review is going to be pretty straight forward! Work great! Great color! Would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs it!

This is my second purchase of these bite valves because I don''t have a good reason to toss the original bottles! I would drink exclusively from Camelbak if that were possible. Not only do my children have two each, but my wife and I each have one also. They are rugged and comfortable and hold an adequate amount of fluid.

Kor Water - KOR Delta Hydration Vessel Water Bottle 500 ml (Ice Blue)

I bought this water bottle on another site because it looked really nice and had a penguin on it. When I received the item I thought it was really cool, it even had little inspirational quotes that you see when you open the lid to take a sip. Then I made the mistake of putting it in the dishwasher... I put it on the top rack like the bottle said but part of the top shrunk and wouldn''t snap into the rest of the top anymore. Not only that, but I found that it leaked like crazy when I made the mistake of putting it in my backpack. DO NOT BUY if you want a water bottle that will last more than a week.

The Kor water bottle is a nice water bottle and easy to clean. The lid pops open and stays open while drinking. Not very amused by the one word labels, such as "imagine" that you can place inside the lid so that every time you open the bottle you can be reminded of that word, but the concept is neat and is nice to add maybe a small picture of like a family member, dog, pet etc... The only thing is that I accidentaly droped the bottle from about 4 feet. It not only broke the white hard casing which I assume was designed to protect the bottle, but shattered the bottle as well. So durabilty is NOT a strong point for this item. If so... I would have given this item 5 stars.

Topeak MTX Trunk Bag EXP with Side Panniers

The good: 1) The materials used are good quality and feel like they will hold up under use. 2) The construction is good. It is a well put together bag. 3) The ease of use with the Topeak rack. It fits easily and securily. It is a good system that Topeak has. 4) The top is lightly insulated. Good spot for putting my lunch during the commute.

The bad: 1) The price. There are several less expensive options out there. 2) No exterior easy to reach pockets for phone, wallet, keys etc.. 3)The panniers should be a couple inches wider and taller. The bags are a little undersized.

In the end I would have rated it higher if the bags were just a little larger and if it were just a bit less expensive. Also, I had problems ordering directly from Amazon. The order was filled by Amazon with an expected delivery date of 3-5 business days. Two days after the order was placed I went to track the shipment and it hadn''t even picked up yet. It stated that there was a problem getting shipped out. So I had to pay the extra for expedited delivery. That was disappointing. I didn''t even get a notice from Amazon that there was a problem.

That was my original review but after 7 months my opinion has changed. I would not give it 3 stars. I am currently on my 2nd bag because I had to return the original after 3 wks. The bag began to come apart at the seems. Now my second bag has the same problem. I only put clothes in there so it''s not that I overload it. This is something you might consider if you are using this for your daily commute.

I have been using this bag for 4 months 2-3 times per week on my commutes to work around 30mi round trip and I am very happy with it. I am using it with the MTX explorer disc rear rack.

First the things I like.

1) Roomy enought for a change of clothes, lunch, tools and a towel.

2) Materials seems to be high quality and I experienced no rips or failures.

3) I really like the MTX system which keeps the bag super secure even when I jump curbs or potholes. It also makes installing and removing the bag very quick and easy.

4) This bag keeps water and dirt off my back in poor weather.

5) Main compartment seems to be waterproof.

6) Good price from Amazon.

7) I dont hit it with my ancles when its fully expanded. I ride a short chainstay singlespeed mtb and it was a problem with other systems.

Things I am not real crazy about.

1) Pockets in top lid are poorly designed and stuff fall out of them. A little velcro or a zipper would have been great.

2) No mesh, or side pockets since they are used by the panniers. I think it could have been designed a little better.

3) A little heavy, but compared to my daily load its trivial.

4) Side bags are not waterproof.

5) Waterproff cover is extra.

I feel the negatives are relatively minor as far as I am concerned so I give it 4 stars, and I recommend this product.

Buy Topeak MTX Trunk Bag EXP with Side Panniers Now

I use this bag/pannier for grocery shopping and carrying my commuting gear, and it works fine. The best part about Topeak''s stuff is the Quick Track system that allows the bag to connect to a Topeak rack easily. No mucking about with Velcro---just slide it into place and click it down. Is the bag perfect? No. The trunk gets compressed when the pannier''s elastic straps are hooked to the rack. The nylon fades badly in sunlight, and it isn''t really waterproof at all. But it''s cheap enough, and works well.

I did a lot of shopping around when I started looking for a trunk with panniers. This one was just the right size and I was pleasantly surprized with the size of the panniers. They may look small but they hold quite a bit! And I liked the fact that when I did not need them they fold up out of the way. The trunk is sturdy and solid and I''m glad I can remove it easily and take it with me with the convenient shoulder strap. I am very pleased with my purchase and recommend it to you.

I just love this bag. The rack was challenging to attach to my bike but was worth it. Works great. It is big enough for little day trips around my neighborhood. I like that the main compartment is insulated. We went for ice cream last night at the grocery story and it was still just as firm as when bought by the time I got home. Great product!
