Reliance Products 5 Gallon Water Container
I like this company [reliance] they put out some pretty decent products. That is why I am surprised that they allowed this to reach market. I am returning the three water containers that i purchased and heres why;(1) The plastic is so thin, that when filled 3/4 of the way full with water, it appears to start to stretch the plastic. That means that this container could not be
used to transport water when full. It probably would not make it through one trip.
(2) When filled with water the spigot leaks. No matter what configuration I put the handle into, (i.e., spigot inside, spigot outside, tightening spigot, tightening cap) it leaked. When I set the container onto a chair, so that the cap was not touching the floor, a small steady drip continued to leak out of the cap. This is very bad. In a survival situation, every drop of water is precious.
(3) If water leaks out, then the container is not sealed. Your stored water can become contaminated.
This is the first "I hate it" rating for any of the products I have purchased on Amazon. I would not rely on this product at all and have no confidence in its ability to store, transport, or even dispense water. For this reason I am sending it back and will spend a little more money on something more sturdy.
This reminded me of the time tested rule: Always test a product before you need to use it especially if it is going to be used in an emergency!!!!
It will keep me supplied with water.
Update: I can''t recommend this product to anyone. It is way too flimsy. I can''t think of anything to use it for now. Very poor quality product. Highly NOT recommended.
UPDATE: absolutely terrible the valve twisted right off but it was never hit or misused. the container just SPLIT right open.
Buy Reliance Products 5 Gallon Water Container Now
I ordered these for 2 reasons:1We are going on a camping trip this summer and I have used water containers like this in the past to help with washing (dishes and hands) and they always work great. We have 3 kids and dirty hands while camping is a givin, These seem to be very sturdy and well made I have used thicker walled containers in the past but as long as you are not playing rugby with these they seem like they will last for years, I like the ability to hide the spigot inside the cap for easier transportation. No strong plastic odor and the water tastes like water not plastic or chemicals. Overall a great product.
The other reason reason I am buying these is that they offer a replacement cap kit here on Amazon in case you loose or break one.
Reliance Products Replacement Spigot Assembly for Reliance Water Containers
UPDATE 11-6-2010 I wanted to add to my review after our camping trip this June 2010. We ended up with 5 of the reliance 5 gallon containers all working perfectly and are now in storage until our next trip. At the end of our trip one container fell out of the van and landed on the spigot cap, this container started to leak from the spigot valve area the same way some other reviewers mentioned a slow steady stream from the valve not the cap, we tried everything to fix this leak, tighten the cap, tighten the spigot nothing worked so we ordered a replacement cap kit and the leak went away again a perfectly working water container. We also found out our local sporting goods store sells the Reliance containers and cap kits.

Could be made with thicker plastic which make it more sturdy.If you were going to use this in a emegency you would be carrying this around alot and it could break.

This is a pretty good water container. The spout is reversible and when in use turns much easier than the previous model. My one complaint is that the housing of the container is kind of flimsy, not solid like some of their other models.
Innate Sippy Cup V2 Lid
When shopping for this product, I feel I was led to believe it would be a stainless steel cup with a V2 lid. They should not mislead with photos of something it is not.
The design of the cup and lid a great for little kids and very rugged I like the little space left on the lid loops for little noses.
NFL Oakland Raiders 72-Ounce Sport Jug
I was a little worried that this item would look cheap, because of the metal finish, but I was presently surprised! The jug is very sturdy and looks really nice. The logo and metal details are thick metal and look expensive. I wish I could run it through the dishwasher, but other than that this was a great buy!
Maxpedition 12" x 5" Nalgene Bottle Holder 0323K KHAKI
I originally bought this water bottle holder to strap a small fire extinguisher onto the MOLLE panel in my FJ Cruiser. I was surprised to find that the bag is triangular with three flat sides, so it didn''t MOLLE strap to the panel exactly the way I wanted it to be oriented. However, I found a less expensive bag for the fire extinguisher, and now use this Maxpedition H2O bag to hold all of my Go Pro camera accessories, including the camera inside a Pelican hard case, battery/memory card pouch, suction cup mount, head strap mount, another pouch with 8 flat/curved surface mounts, all of the cables and car battery charger plugs, short flexible tripod, Floaty Back for the camera carrier, etc. etc. etc. This H2O bottle holder is padded making it surprisingly perfect for camera equipment, and it has the ruggedness and high quality zippers, velcro, and MOLLE loops that we have come to expect from Maxpedition. No, Maxpedition prices aren''t cheap, but neither are their products.

This bottle holder is way too expensive. If I hadnt of found it used I wouldnt have bought it. That being said, it is an excellent piece of gear. As with all maxpedition products, the material and construction is top notch. I was suprised at how big it was. Theres room in there for a nalgene plus fuel canister, pocket stove etc... The insulation is also really thick, its like a miniature cooler. I would say if you find a good deal on one, or if you just have plenty of cash to spend, get one. I just think forty dollars is a little much for a bottle holder pouch.Read Best Reviews of Maxpedition 12" x 5" Nalgene Bottle Holder 0323K KHAKI Here
Bell StowAway Bicycle Seat Bag Save 14% off
I just used the bag for the first time this morning, and here''s what I was able to fit inside:A large cookie
A breakfast bar
A plastic (grocery) bag
A sunblock bottle
My iPod with 2 accessories attached
It was crammed full, but that''s quite a bit of stuff. It''s not quite large enough to fit a sandwich tupperware, but I think I can fit a sandwich in there as long as it''s just in a plastic bag.
The bag attaches easily to the seatpost with a velcro strap, and also has 2 velcro straps on top which can attach to the seat itself. I don''t think the bag budged during my 1-hour bikeride even having all that stuff inside. Since it''s so easy to attach, I just took the whole bag off and brought it with me after my ride!

Bought this same bag at Walmart. Pleased with the mounting and the space; but the bag only lasted about a month. Majority of rides were through metro at lunch (roads and curbs) plus a couple trails. It has ripped out the stitching along the bottom side and along the top. It was carrying spare tube, patch kit, multi tool, tire levers, keys and c-card/cash.Read Best Reviews of Bell StowAway Bicycle Seat Bag Here
I bought this bag because it looked like the right size to stow our medium-duty bike lock when my family and I go biking. Unfortunately, the velcro straps could not support that much weight when going over bumpy terrain.My wife was testing it out and rode over a wooden bridge. On the way off the bridge, one of the straps came loose and the pack came in contact with the rear tire and got abraded pretty badly. She had to re-secure the straps and then ride very carefully for the rest of the trip.
This bag is probably fine for carrying light objects on paved roads, but it wasn''t quite up to the task for our needs.

Most bicycle shop cycling equipment is a total ripoff moneywise when compared to the intrinsic cost of materials and manufacturing. So it''s great that Schwinn and Bell make decent cycling equipment for your dollar. But on some items, they could use smarter product designers. This bag is a very good value in regard to size and overall construction, but the mounting straps are lame. I couldn''t get the velcro straps to stay attached on my seat rails because they''re too short. And I had to uncomfortably squeeze my fingers into a very small space between the rails to attach the straps to their counterpart. But even if they were longer, the design is illogical, and I''ve wrote Bell about it. A better design would be to have longer straps that meet and attach on the underside of the bag so as to accommodate all types of seats, not underneath and between the seat rails as it is now. So I bought some velcro straps from Home Depot and rigged it myself, and I suggest buyers to do the same. After I did that, I am a happy camper.Save 14% off

M3 Plus Indoor Cycle
I can''t think of too many things I enjoy more than cycling. I usually will ride 1500 miles or more during a typical summer and in the off-season I take spinning classes or use the spin bike I have in my basement. I''ve owned several different, and far less expensive, spin bikes over the last few years and I can say without reservation that this M3 Plus bike is truly amazing. For reference, I own a Sole Fitness SB700: Sole Fitness SB700 Exercise Bike and my first spin bike was the entry level ProForm 290 SPX: ProForm 290 SPX Indoor Cycle TrainerFirst impressions are that it looks like it should be in the Museum of Modern Art. It is just beautiful and minimalist in design. Although it looks minimalist, it certainly has no lack of features. For me, the most important feature improvement that the M3 Plus has over the With Computer Keiser M3 Indoor Cycle Stationary Indoor Trainer Exercise Bike is that Keiser addressed the issue of handlebar adjustment. The M3 had no capability to adjust the fore/aft position of the handlebar. That caused some issues for some people to get a good fit with the bike. The main reason there was a fit issue was that as you moved the handlebar to a higher position, the handlebar moves further forward since it is angled in the frame. If you are long-legged that means you have to move the saddle height up quite a bit and move the seat back, to get a proper knee over foot position. Unfortunately this also means that you need to move the handlebars up and since moving the handlebars up also moves them forward due to the angle, it results in a very stretched forward position that makes spinning difficult and actually puts you in an uncomfortable position on the bike.
That issue has vanished with the M3 Plus which now has a fore/aft adjustment for the handlebars. This eliminates the potential fit problem and makes the bike just about perfect.
The bike is virtually silent in operation. Your hard breathing will make more noise than the bike...seriously. The saddle is very comfortable and I''d say it is one of the most comfortable saddles I''ve used on a spin bike.
The resistance is adjusted by a very precise gear-lever located very conveniently on the near side base of the handlebar. What is notable about the resistance mechanism is that it does not rely on friction by pads on the flywheel, but by magnetic resistance. Since there is nothing actually rubbing on the wheel, that makes it smooth, non-pulsating and absolutely quiet.
The computer included with this bike is also excellent. The LCD digits are large and easy to see. The resistance level you have chosen is displayed on the computer as a "gear" and this is fantastic because it lets you consistently choose the same level of resistance predictably instead of guessing as you would with a pad-based friction mechanism.
The computer also displays your cadence (RPM), Power Output, Heart Rate, Elapsed Time, Gear (resistance level) and Odometer/trip distance. Another cool feature I like but don''t see in action that often is the automatically backlit display. A sensor on the computer automatically activates the backlight when it needs to.
I''m 6''2" and weigh 208lb. The bike is stable and seems quite solid to me. It doesn''t rock, sway or move in any way that I can percieve when I''m spinning...even if my cadence is quite high.
One final thing that almost seems minor is I really like the "gravity" water bottle platform. It''s nice not to have to fight a cage when getting your water bottle in/out.
I really like the M3 Plus. It''s got a great warranty, is well-constructed and operates about as good as a spinning bike could operate. If you are debating whether it could possibly be worth the money, I would say yes it is. Go ride a few $400-$600 spin bikes then hop on the M3. I think you''ll immediately realize, as I did, that you''re on an entirely different machine. The quality of construction will likely out last several of the el-cheapo bikes.
If you are serious about spinning and cycling you should really consider the Keiser M3 Plus. You might be able to get the M3 and save some money if you are not particularly tall or short since the more adjustable handlebar is really the only significant difference between the two bikes.
The M3 Plus arrived in great shape from UPS ground. It is well-packaged (unlike the biased video on youtube by S*****Cycles) and I doubt you would have any problems with shipping damage. Setup took just 30 minutes and unlike assembling furniture, there aren''t a lot of pieces/parts to it. I did get a sense of how well the bike is made and designed. While I wouldn''t call it heavy duty construction, for your typical home, it is very well made.
PROS:
-magnetic resistance
-"gears" controlled by lever and readout on computer
-quiet drive belt
-adjustability: seat up/down/fore/aft, handlebars up/down/fore/aft.
-multi-position handle bars
-built-in computer: RPM (cadence), ELAPSED TIME, HEART RATE (Polar compatible), WATTS, GEAR, TRIP/ODO distance.
-dual platform/SPD Shimano Pedals
-designed and manufactured in the USA!
-backlit LCD (although rather dim)
CONS:
-distance on computer is arbitrary unit.
-no performance analysis on computer
-cost.
COMMENTS:
I would definitely pay the extra premium to get the handlebar adjustability of the M3 "PLUS". Fitment is key!
Computer: Some competitors charge more than $150 extra and may not be as useful or integrated with the unit as this one is. Also, the "gears" display is something that is very worthwhile as you can go select any gear and know exactly what kind of resistance it has--no guessing and adjusting continously. The computer is very useful, especially with HR monitoring with an optional Polar Wearlink Coded 31 Transmitter (recommended). Read up on target heart rate zone. One note: The distance/ODO is an arbitrary unit of distance. It is not miles or km. Every 200 revolutions is counted as 1 unit of distance. Would have been nice to have Keiser calibrate this distance to your typical road bike wheel size (ie. 700x25). Re: performance analysis, I am talking some HR monitors will estimate calories burned, time in heart rate zone, average HR, etc. The computer is very basic. However, you can pay attention to energy expended (WATTS) and try to maintain or increase that from workout to workout. In any case, use the computer to your advantage--whether it be maximizing workout distance, maintaining heart rate zone, maximizing energy expended, maintaining cadence, upping the "gear", etc.
I love how quiet this unit is. You can watch tv or listen to music without turning up the sound to absurdly high levels. Some units are chain based and make a lot of racket or require servicing for time to time.
The Shimano pedals are the exact same ones I use on my Trek hybrid bike! Tip: go get some bike shoes and Shimano SM-SH56 SPD Cleat Set. You can go stand pedal or pedal hard without worry about losing grip. I do not like the cage so I removed those with two screws on each pedal.
Lastly, keep your M3 Plus looking and working great by keeping it clean, lubing the key points outlined in the manual, and wax some select surfaces with car polish.This is quite simply the best spin bike there is. I have researched spin bikes for the past 2 years, and have had a bad experience with one. The bike is compact, sturdy, incredibly easy to adjust, and whisper quiet. Its infinitely adjustable, which is a rarity. Now it has the fore and aft adjustable handlebars, making it even better. The pedals can be easily swapped out. Basically, you can customize this bike to be anything you want it to be. I had trouble moving a heavy flywheel on other spin bikes. This one is magnetic going from gear 1 to 24. It is so easy to use, you feel like you''re missing steps. Its smooth as silk and I found it to feel better than using a bike on a trainer. Don''t even look at another spin bike. Get this one. For a person with physical ailments to someone who is an elite cyclist, this one would work for anyone. I can''t say enough good things about it. The price might seem high, but for what you are getting, its worth every penny and then some.

Product arrived quickly and was well packed so no damage. Easy to assemble in less than an hour. Some specialty tools were requested but not really required. Only 4 main parts. When riding the adjustments on the bike are easy to operate and allow you to finely adjust based on how hard you want to ride. I like 3 minute intervals and moving back and forth is easy and quick. The best part is the quiet operation and the heavy duty construction of the parts that will clearly last a long time. I have 4 different machines in my home gym and it is already my favorite. It is so quiet you can use even early in the morning without worrying about waking anyone. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a well made exercise machine. Both me and my husband are now racing to wake up and be the first one on the bike.Want M3 Plus Indoor Cycle Discount?

New Bike Bicycle Cycling with LOCK Water Bottle Cage Mount Holder Black
This water bottle holder is well designed and quite flexible. It is quick to install or remove and can be used in a variety of frame locations. I even mounted it on the stem of my Diamondback Sorrento mountain bike. The tube clamp can mar the bike finish though so I use a single wrap of friction tape around the frame before installing. The holder is secure enough with small light weight bottles in the 16 20 oz range but it will shift if bumped by a leg or knee. I wouldn''t recommend using it with a large 1 liter bottle since the extra weight can cause the holder to slide down the frame when riding on rough ground.The product is well made and a reasonable value for the money. I give it 3 out of 5 stars

Gatorade Hydration Pack 6 Gatorade G Bottles and a Gatorade Carrier Save 39% off
This combo pack is a great deal. The bottles themselves are a great upgrade from the previous Gatorade bottles (old logo). The squeeze top has a one way valve so no having to worry about spillage or closing the top. The top seal is also of high quality so, again, no spillage. The see-thru strip on the side is a nice touch, allowing to view how much liquid is left in the bottle. The carrier works great. All in all, this is a very professional combo pack, at a good price ($36 total w/two day shipping). It is perfect for any small athletic team, or even an athletic family. My order was supplied through IthacaSports. Good communication and very fast delivery.
NOTE: Direct from the Gatorade website, the carrier is $12.79 and 6 bottles are $11.29 don''t get ripped off! (as of 9/29/2011)

I purchased two of the carriers w/bottles. It did seem ridiculous to me that I was spending $80 on water bottles, but everytime I watched my son''s basketball team use their supposed "shared/squirt water bottles" I could just see the germs crawling all over the place. So, I rationalized it as $80 well spent if I was able to reduce an illness in our household. I was a little concerned about what the coach would say and how this would be perceived.It was great! The bottles were exactly like the pros use so they were all happy. I put a label with each player''s name on their bottle and works like a charm. Hand, foot, and mouth disease prevented! And, I''m really not a germophobe...

EcoUsable Ech2o 25 oz Stainless Steel Filtered Bottle
I was so excited in anticipation when I ordered this item. However, it quickly failed to live up to my expectations.First, the water that comes through the filter tastes worse coming out than it did when it went in! Sure, the chlorine smell is gone but the water tastes very salty or something. Also, it''s very difficult to suck the water through the actual filter and nearly impossible for my small child. I wanted to stop carrying around plastic sports bottles all day and switch to this but not so fast. While it''s a great idea it''s another over-priced, over-hyped, disappointing paper weight that makes me feel foolish every time I look at it because I spent that much on a stupid water bottle!
