Mustang O.D. Fabric Covered 1 Quart Plastic Canteen with Aluminum Cup
Just like the title says. This item is NOT genuine issue. It is a cheap knock-off made of crap material.Pros:
Doesn''t taste like plastic.
Cons:
Canteen leaks if the cap is not screwed on EXTREMELY TIGHT, to the point where you need to wrap the cap in your shirt to unscrew it
The belt clips are a complete pain in the butt.
The fabric around the buttons are ripped after being used ONCE
Velcro on small front pouch does not fasten.
Uncomfortable on the belt without support (weight of the canteen with water constantly pulls belt and pants down)
I''ve tried contacting the seller to try to get some sort of refund or exchange but have not gotten any responses

Recieved my package promptly, and was pleasantly surprised on the quality of the pieces. Made a make shift shoulder sling from 550 Para-Chord use it all the time for hiking trips. Works great doesn''t leak, Aluminum can and canteen fit nicely in pouch. Clips are not really usable for belt as far as that goes for me personally, but again with a shoulder sling it is a great affordable product! Haven''t got a chance to use the can yet but look forward to it on our up coming camping trip!Read Best Reviews of Mustang O.D. Fabric Covered 1 Quart Plastic Canteen with Aluminum Cup Here
Camelbak Insulated Sleeve Bottle Save 8% off
Just five words, "It doesn''t come with bottle" or "Bottle sold separately" would definitely help. My bad for not reading everything.

I was looking for an insulated bottle, when I saw ''Insulated Sleeve Bottle'' just bought it thinking found what I wanted. But unfortunately it is only sleeve. You better change the add or title of the product, which clearly indicates it is ONLY SLEEVE. I would still recommend this SLEEVE if that is what you are looking for, but my rating is for SLEEVE BOTTLE !Want Camelbak Insulated Sleeve Bottle Discount?
I ordered this for my Daughters Camelbak water bottle in hopes it would help with the condensation and keep her water colder longer.... Well so far I have gotten both of my wishes! We go it in the gray color it I was surprised it was a nice looking color with a nice design. It fits very tight so don''t give up if it is hard to get on you have to twist it a little to get it all the way on. The little handle can be attached to many things and has a heavy duty snap to hold it closed. I will be purchasing more in the future for sure!Save 8% off
NCAA Michigan Wolverines Fairway Stand Golf Bag Save 11% off
I purchased this bag for my boss on his birthday and I love it. He is a big Michigan fan as well as I am! But what makes this bag 5 stars is the fact that it has so many pockets as well as a dry pocket. I just wish that it also came with a towel.Save 11% off
ORIGIN8 - Fiber-Wing Cage Save 13% off
I ride a Giant Defy and these water bottle cages were the perfect accent of white I was looking for. Plus they were only 20ish grams each, so they are almost lighter than carbon fiber. They seem very strong for how little they weigh. Origin 8 makes some good stuff!Save 13% off
Water Bottle Cage Handlebar Mounted Black
First off:Item arrived promptly, completely as described. Nothing wrong with it; I rate the seller A+ and would recommend buying from him.
I would not recommend this item because I do not consider it to be well made compared to similar items at similar prices.
The bracket attachment is a cast steel piece, which creates several problems:
It is one size. If you don''t have a bar the correct size, it will not fit.
It is not adjustable for attachment to a horizontal or vertical bar.
Being steel, and with the interior lined with steel teeth, if you attach it to a painted or finished bar it will take off the paint or finish.
This would be avoided if a plastic/rubber strap attachment had been used, allowing you to attach to any size bar without damaging it. It would also be easier to install.
The area that holds the bottle is also steel and not very flexible. You need a bottle that fits is very close to the size of the cage.
That''s about it. If you read the description of the item carefully and ensure that this item is exactly the one you need, and are not worried about scratching paint, then this item is for you. Otherwise, I suggest looking around for other items.
Also, I see this item being geared more toward mountain bikers. It is definitely very sturdy and would stand up to being knocked around without coming off or losing a bottle.
Platypus Shut-Off Valve
If you smartly purchased the most excellent Platypus Insulator with Big-Zip, you''ll notice it doesn''t come with a shut-off Valve; this will fit the bill and works great. However, if you purchase the Big-Zip bladder without the insulator kit, it comes with the shut-off. Also, you can buy the Big-Zip Tube Kit and it will come with a shut-off valve which may be a better value if you want to make a long hose attachment with a couple quick-disconnects for car travel.Warning, don''t try to force a tube off of this if cold, it seals very well and will break (from experience). Just run hot water over the tube/valve and it will come off with a bit of elbow grease.
A prepared person will always carry items to repair hydration system so carry extra valves/tubes/quick-disconnects etc.
Oh, and if you''ve never used Platypus; the bladders/tubes/valves have a great clean taste!
The smooth end slips onto the bite valve while the grooved end fits into the water hose. If you have trouble fitting the valve onto the hose, run some hot water over the last two inches of the hose, dry it off, then gradually insert the valve. You may need to run hot water over the hose several times before you get the valve all the way on. Get it seated snugly so there is no gap left to collect dirt, debris and bacteria.
For the price of a platypus bladder, this on/off valve should be included in the setup (some of the platypus competitors include it at no extra cost).

For quite some time, I have had the problem with my bite valve leaking while my pack is in the trunk. I have tried to keep the hose secure on top of the pack, but things get moved, or I''m in a hurry and end up losing half of my water into the car. With this valve, I don''t have that problem anymore!Read Best Reviews of Platypus Shut-Off Valve Here

Vincero Design Edge16 Magnetic Water Bottle Cage Save 32% off
I compared this product side by side with an Arundel Mandible waterbottle cage in my road bike. I got two sets as presents from my girlfriend. First bumb on the road and the Vincero bottle went airborne. I tried both down tube and seat tube fitting with no luck. Only when the Vincero bottle was empty it remained in place...... Looks really nice on a standing still bicycle but this system is not ready for cyclist that actually ride their bikes.
Note to all buyers: package contains 1 mount. Typically, bikes have bosses for 2 water bottles. To use the Vincero Design Edge16 system, you need 2 mounts and 2 Edge16 water bottles.

I used to have the arundel carbon bottle cages (now they''re retired, unused). They''re great cages; never had one pop out or break, but your water bottle is in so tight w/ the arundel that sometimes it''s really hard to get them out or in. It''s much, much easier putting in/outthe Vincero bottles, imo, allowing you to put them into the mount at many angles.
I never had a bottle pop out of my edge16 in the last couple of years of usage (I''m not lying; I have 10 of these and on all my road and mountain bikes, either on just the down tube, or both the down tube and seat tube). Just rode Elizabeth Furnace trail (super rocky and technical), I flew off the bike couple of times, but Vincero
bottle still remained on the mount.

Planet Bike Alloy Water bottle Cage Save 6% off
For a bottle holder, this works fine...just like any other bottle cage of similar construction and design. However, the color is off. The red is closer to a metallic pinkish-purple. I recognize computer monitors don''t necessarily show the true color of a sample, but the picture shows a fire engine red color...that is definitely not the color of the product. I also purchased a yellow and a black cage (same brand)...their colors are true to what is shown for the picture.
Saw these at the LBS for $10 each.
