MLB San Francisco Giants 16-Ounce Stainless Steel Travel Mug

I bought this as a gift for my husband and he loves it. It''s lightweight and holds about 2 cups of coffee and keeps it nice and hot.

The mug in the picture has a San Francisco Giants baseball logo. The description says it has the New York Giants football logo on it. Not sure what I''m going to be recieving but Amazon would not allow me to cancel the order when I noticed the descrepancy within a few minutes of placing the order.

Ozark Trail New Aluminum 1 Liter/ 33.9oz Bottle Save 71% off

Stopper leaked off and on. At times it would somehow not screw down straight and was leaving a loopsided angle where the stopper meets the neck of the bottle. Though slight, the gap was enough to make the stopper leak off the top, where liquid can be dispensed without taking off the stopper. I also had a hard time putting the stopper back together when I took off the dispensing piece and tried to screw it back on. I returned the bottle and I would recommend some other brand.

Stays hot for hourseven 24 hours later, water is still warm. The top is also perfect for Medela 5 oz bottles.

I have spent a small fortune trying many seat mount water holders for my century rides. This holder is the best it sits low on the seat so you can still carry small repair bag and it does not interfere with saddle position. i carry large insulated bottles and have not lost one.

Liquid Solution Wave 16-Ounce Stainless Steel Vacuum bottle

I got one of these to review from Liquid Solutions.

Here are my thoughts:

First Glance: The color looks really cool, mine is a high tech alloy blue.

Quality, the finish is really smooth and it looks like it will last.

It is a true vacuum bottle so heat/cold retention should be really good, they have a 34 oz. bottle that is designed where heat/cold retention is critical, Liquid Solutions Classic 34oz Vacuum Bottle

The top is a simple push button on/off easy to pour, filled it up with coffee and turned it upside down with no leakage.

It says 16 oz. but it can a decent amount of coffee.

GREAT PRODUCT

I received the "vacuum storage device" to be used as a supplemental thermos. it keeps milk cold, and doesn''t leak until you use it.

Now, the leak is SPECIFICALLY the cap poor design. When you push the white spot, you can indeed pour your "chosen refreshment". Then click the white ring to close it again. Now turn it upside down. Refreshment everywhere. Now, I did specify I use for milk. Now add that the cap can''t be disassembled to clean, so after 2 weeks (and 3 dishwasher runs with the cap open) it still smells like milk. I would have given it a MUCH better rating with a simple screw on top like what the Nissan thermos 32 oz uses, or the "good old glass thermos" from the 80''s and 90''s.

Oh, IF you chip the paint, it peels off easily from then on. Not really a bad thing, just an observation. If this had a better cap, I probably would have ordered another, just so I can give one a break. As it is, I will wait the few weeks max that I expect it to break in, and then buy a different one. I would NOT buy again unless they change the cap. My 2 cents.

It dripped all over me! I tried rescrewing it and it dripped all over me again, right from the side, not the spout. Inferior product. Too expensive for something that doesn''t work properly. I got my money back and bought an OGGI Corportation stainless steel sport bottle at Sears for $5 instead.

NFL Pittsburgh Steelers Two Piece 19-Ounce Pilsner Glass Set

Bought this for my boyfriend who is a huge Steelers fan. He was shocked at how big, how nice they looked, and how simple they are. However, I cannot tell if they are dishwasher safe, and the logo appears to be glued on. Because of this, I am afraid to place them in the dishwasher in case the logo falls off. Overall great product, right price!

Hydro Flask Stainless Steel Insulated Drinking Bottle

Hydro Flask Stainless Steel Drinking Bottle, Everest Blue, 24-Ounce

I purchased a bunch of hydroflasks as promotional items for my business...I kept one for myself and one morning decided to put some coffee in it before a day of skiing...Got back to the car at the end of the day and burnt the hell out of my mouth when I took a gulp....Amazing product...just watch yourself

I heard about these bottles on a Podcast and I have to say they are incredible!! I put steaming hot water in one and 10 hours later it was STILL steaming. I left ice water in another one for 24 hours and there were still remnants of ice in it an entire day later!! The best thing about these bottles is that they don''t ''sweat'' and get everything else in your bag wet. Also, if you have a boiling hot drink in it you can barely tell from the outside that you have hot liquid in it. The bottle only feels slightly warm to the touch unlike other bottles that will burn your hands if you have a hot drink in them. Definitely worth the price!!

Buy Hydro Flask Stainless Steel Insulated Drinking Bottle Now

This is a very nice bottle from a good company. I prefer it to the Sigg bottle I had before because of the insulation and the absence of weird chemicals on the inside. The threads between the bottle and the cap are not as well toleranced as the Sigg bottles, but the seal is very good and it never leaks. The main problem I have is that the paint on the outside of the bottle rubs off very easily and it gets all over the other things in my bag, including my computer and my books. So if they could re-engineer the paint and maybe tighten up the tolerance in the screw threads, it would be a perfect bottle. But, as it is, it is still my favorite water bottle.

After waiting for 5 weeks to get this drinking bottle (I knew in advance I''d wait that long, so it''s not a complaint), it arrived with a green-colored foreign substance on several of the threads of the bottle. The substance is not removable. Very disappointing. I called the company the day I got the bottle and received a defect free bottle 3 days later. Great customer service. Be sure to check the threads of the bottle to make sure there are no defects/substances that shouldn''t be on them.

*** Since posting my initial review, I searched on Google for "green substance on stainless steel bottle." What showed up was a link to a stainless bottle, also made in China, imported by Klean Kanteen. Several reviewers (on Amazon) found a green substance on the inside of the rim on the threads of their bottle along with a bad taste in water placed in the bottle. The defect on the bottle sent to me is not an isolated incident. We don''t know if the same factory made the bottles for the two different American importers, but we do know that there is a problem with the quality control of the manufacturer(s). I e-mailed both Klean Kanteen and Hydro Flask about the problem. Klean Kanteen wrote a very professional response to my concerns (they said they have tested the substance on their defective bottles and have found it to be non-toxic). I received a VERY unprofessional response from Hydro Flask. The President of the company wrote about the frequent flyer miles they used to visit China and that the factory is in a very beautiful location. It was mainly a generic response to customers asking about the flask being manufactured in China rather than addressing my particular issue.

I ordered a 24oz Hydro Flask along with several Klean Kanteen sizes here on Amazon and have tested them both extensively. Both were shipped from and sold by Amazon so I do not think any of them were knock-offs.

When holding both bottles in my hands, it is immediately apparent that the Hydro Flask bottles have a finish that is smoother compared to the Klean Kanteen. It feels like they spent a bit more time on the Hydro Flask.

The Klean Kanteen bottles have a rolled steel lip on the top edge where you put your lip to drink out of the bottle, whereas the Hydro Flask has a smooth flush top edge. The smooth lip on the Hydro Flask makes it more durable and easier to clean, but it''s also more comfortable to drink from and less prone to spills. I find the rolled edge on the lip of the Klean Kanteen a bit uncomfortable and more prone to spills when drinking.

As other reviewers have mentioned the Hydro Flask insulation is amazing. I tested it by filling it up with cold water from my fridge and leaving it out on a summer night. The next morning I tried the water and it was still ice cold. The insulation also allows this flask to be used with hot liquids, whereas the Klean Kanteen is not insulated and very hot liquids would make the bottle too hot to touch. The insulation (and possibly the higher quality steel) does make the Hydro Flask bottle a bit heavier, so if you are looking for the lightest bottle possible then the Klean Kanteen might be a better choice.

After using the Hydro Flask for several days there is no metal taste at all, everything I put in it tastes exactly like it should.

The Hydro Flask is a well made bottle and everything about it seems superior to the Klean Kanteen bottles to me. If you are on the fence about which stainless steel water bottle to try, I highly recommend this one.

Rubbermaid 7F920 20-Ounces Sip Bottle with Straw Save 21% off

I cannot remember when I bought this Rubbermaid bottle, but I know I''ve had it for at least 4 years. It is great: holds all the water I need, doesn''t leak, fits snugly in my car cup holder, and is easy to drink from. If I ever needed a replacement, I would buy this product again.

I have a couple of these one for Iced Coffee and one for water. They seal well and will not leak even if you throw it in your bag. The only quirk is that you have to loosen the top slightly before you drink out of it to let some air in. If not, you can''t get anything out! It''s a design flaw that one can definitely live with. The plastic is really heavy and hard not rubbery so you won''t be able to squeeze the water out.

I have always loved this type of bottle and have been using them for in the car when I am driving. They are very hard to find in the stores. I never use the straw as I like just to tip the bottle and drink. Other kinds are not so easy to use when driving. Although I wouldn''t have purchased it if I had known it was made in China. There are so many defective items coming out of china and I had made a promise I wouldn''t buy anymore. So if I ever can find a replacement not made in China I will get rid of the two I purchased.

Adams Bottle Carrier with 8 Water Bottles

Very nice and love the carrier...only down side bottle plastic smell was hard to get out washed 3 times and got the bottles for kids football team, not good idea to fill the bottles up all the way was kind of heavy for the kids to carry all the bottles and carrier. But item came fast and was a great price!

Nathan Triangle Insulated Angled Holster Waist Pack

I have owned previous models of this belt, and while the bottle fits in this version a little better, the pocket has been downsized significantly. I had a really hard time squeezing my iphone in here (nevermind the two tissues and a pack of Gu that I also had to cram in). I am also not sure how I feel about the new velcro adjustment straps... seems harder to get just the right fit, but I will keep playing with it.

XLC Cup Holder, Individual Silver Save 43% off

This is a well made metal cup holder for a bike (or, in my case, my Super Turbo 1000-Lithium Electric Scooter "BLUE"). It''s a pretty straight forward item. It attaches right to the handle bars and holds a cup firmly. There is an inner rubber liner that grips the cup to keep it from moving around or flying out. So, it definitely works great for cups. I specifically use it periodically to hold Jamba Juice cups and it works very well for this. Note that Jamba Juice cups are especially fragile.

Ok, so all that said there is one downside. It doesn''t hold canned drinks or any type of cylindrical container. The container must be cone shaped and big enough to sit in the holder. So, don''t buy this if you are expecting it to hold a can.

One other small thing, I would have liked for it to fold down out of the way when not in use. It doesn''t fold down. For the price, I wouldn''t have expected that feature. It''s also well made, installs easily and works great for the cups that fit. Also, my handle bars have a number of straight spots. So, this cup holder may not work on the curved racing style handle bars.

This cup holder is a good deal for the price. It is half of what I''ve paid for similar coffee holsters. The rubber shims included are hard to install and were still flimsy and easily moved unless clamped to bars 25.4 or wider. lots of bars taper to closer to 22mm after the stem clamp. I think I will venture to the hardware store and find a suitable replacement for these shims for a few dollars. The cup holder design itself is pretty light and seems solid. It would be nice if it pivoted but you must have a horizontal flat bar to clamp to.

Unless you are drinking big gulps, this holder is too big for most regular cups.

Mounted on the bike it looks too bulky.

SteriPen Classic Safe Water System

Took my SteriPEN for 8 days in the Smoky Mountains. It worked every time and must have done the job because there were no ill effects. Do use lithium batteries however.

For anyone having problems I found this at http://www.backpackgeartest.org/reviews/Water%20Treatment/Ultraviolet/SteriPen/Owner%20Review%20by%20John%20Heubi/

I was able to determine that the extended outdoor use seemed to create too much humidity within the unit and caused this malfunction. The malfunction occurred with a much greater frequency during periods of extremely high humidity and periods of extended rain. I was able to "fool" the unit when I got a red light by waiting for the indicator light to stop blinking and then placing the unit in the water, just as if I were purifying the water. Then I would pull it out of the water, just as if I had completed the purification, then push the button again. The SteriPEN would then work just fine for any number of uses. I am certain that this would not even be an issue to anyone using the SteriPEN for weekend or week long treks. The problem also goes away after the unit is in a controlled environment (inside) for approximately 1-3 days to get a chance to get completely dried out.

I would love to be able to recommend the steripen because when it works, it works great. What I can''t figure out is why it works perfectly at home, but is very sporadic on the trail. On a recent weeklong backpacking trip in Utah three of us had these along and all experienced the same problem. It would only work correctly about 25% of the time meaning that the light would successfully stay on for the required amount of time. The other 75% of the time we would all get the red failure light. I can assure you this was not operator error. It would often take three or four tries of having the light on in order to get it to work. Other times it would go straight to error and we had to give up.

If you disregard this review and take it into the backcountry I strongly suggest that you bring either chlorine or iodine tablets as a back-up.

I spent Memorial Day hiking in the San Gorgonio Wilderness with my wife and a friend. It''s always beautiful there but this trip took a turn for the worse when I found that my water filter had cracked. This happened in a dry year when water flow in all the creeks was pretty low. Happily, some friends shared their steripen with us and I was amazed at how quickly we were able to purify water with the UV light. It takes about 45 seconds per quart. They had purchased the full system: steripen, pre-filter, and Nalgene bottle. It weighed considerably less than my filter even with batteries--under a pound. I''m sold and am purchasing my own. You can get the steripen and prefilter (good for removing particulates) separately, which I will since I have many Nalgene bottles, but if you are looking for a good all in one purification system, this is it.

I brought my SteriPEN into the Himalayas during a month-long trek. It failed, for no reason, on the fourth day of my ever using it and never worked again. I tried new batteries, drying it, I tried it over and over. I found this product to be completely unreliable and quick to fail. I have since spoken with other trekkers in Nepal who had the same experience with it. The product is a good idea but should be taken off the market until a more reliable product can be produced. It is a waste of money.

you have to press the button first, wait for the green light, then immerse the light tube into the water. Great for traveling to another country where the water condition is unknown.. and yah.. NIMH battery is a must or else you will be running through the alkaline batteries like there is no tomorrow... too bad they didn''t provide it.
