FROG BOTTLE BUDDIES by Stephen Joseph

Bought this bottle carrier so my 3 year old can imitiate his older sister who has the butterfly bottle buddy. This frog water bottle carrier is exactly as pictured. We got the product quickly as promised. It is cute and can hold various bottle sizes. The material is mesh and light weight. My 3 year has a smile from ear to ear each time he uses his bottle buddy.

Stanley Nineteen13 One Handed H20 Bottle

Used this probably 4-5 days a week for the last five months. I drive around for work, so it would go from kitchen to car and back no heavy abuse, no clipping it to bags and hiking or biking. It started off great, with a totally waterproof seal. After about four months, it started to leak if tipped. Not from the threads where it screws on, but from the waterproof valve at the top. Then last week, I clipped it to the front strap of my child carrier backpack for a light hike, and the rubber ring snapped off. That was the first time i had clipped it to anything. They make that from a separate piece that is glued onto the harder plastic lid, so it has a natural weak point. Camel bak bottles have a smarter, one-piece design in my opinion. This claims to have a lifetime warranty. I have contacted the company and will update with results.

To summarize:

PROS

Great visual design

BUILT brand neoprene sleeves fit perfectly on it, so ice water stays cold

When new, the one hand design was convenient and truly leakproof

Fits in small car cupholders (Mazda 3 for me) even with the BUILT sleeve on

CONS

Stainless steel variety heats up quickly, so in a car, the sun can warm your water pretty fast. Not a deal breaker for me but you may want to consider a vacuum bottle if it is for you

Didn''t hold up to regular light use for that I would not buy again and can''t recommend this at this point.

Hopefully I''ll be pleasantly surprised with their customer service, and if they replace it I''ll update my review.

UPDATE: I emailed them on Saturday 11/26. I received an email back on Tuesday suggesting I call. I got through quickly, and the customer service rep told me they were sending me a new cap that should arrive in 2 weeks. One star added back for how easy that was no sending my old one in and waiting.

UPDATE: The new cap arrived via Fedex on 12/5. This one works just as the other one did when new. I''m adding a star for great service, although I''m not all that optimistic that this one will last longer than 6 months.

I''ve used this bottle for over one year now on numerous day hikes and weekly car trips (It''s a little too heavy for my style of backpacking). It has held up just fine despite all the plastic parts and does not leak. Because the rubber loop does not appear to be very strong, I''ve never tested it by carrying it by the loop.

I like the durability and the wide mouth Its easy to fill it with ice cubes on a hot day and easy to clean inside the steel bottle. What I don''t like is the inability to clean the top. I use it to carry water, ice tea, and occasionally tea with lemonade mix. Although I give it a good rinse at the end of each day, after a year there is noticeable grunge building up on the valve at the mouthpiece, but the way it is constructed makes routine cleaning with a brush or cloth near impossible. I have looked hard, but can''t find a way to disassemble it for cleaning.

I would give it more stars, but the inability to clean the parts that come in contact with the stuff you are ingesting is a big negative for me.

I''ve posted some pictures showing this bottle in close-up. I really like how this bottle looks and feels.

The fill opening is nice and large, so I can fill this very quickly, even using water bubblers.

When I press the button to open the top for drinking the water comes out at a regular rate whatever the bottle angle is. I can drink while moving about without getting water all over my shirt.

I haven''t had it long enough to judge how it holds up overall. I''ll try to do this after a few months.

Update: My bottle started leaking from the push button area. Sometimes it''s only a drop, but it can be a fast series of drops. I called Stanley and they''re going to send me a replacement cap. I''m hoping that will fix the problem.

Update, February 2012. The replacement cap fixed the problem and I''ve used this bottle daily ever since. I can throw it in the bottom of a bag without worrying about soaking other things. And I still love the way the water comes out slowly enough that I''ve never gotten a huge mouthful, or had my shirt soaked by a big gush of water.

I have 5 of these and after 6 months one of the tops malfunctioned and started to leak. It ruined a book in the bag. I emailed the company and they told me that the top was not covered under warranty. Funny, what is covered under your lifetime warranty...the solid steel bottle? Your bottle leaks.. all I wanted was a new top. I was told they were no longer sold and that basically I was out of luck. Warning, poor manufacturing and even worse customer service.

The body of the canteen is robust and fits a bottle brush just fine. Interior same as exterior. Recieved mine with a non operational lid. A bunch of little parts comprise the mechanics of the sealing portion of the lid. Disappointed in the recieved item becasue it was non functional and that there were so many pieces in the lid to keep it from leaking, springs, tabs, et al. Could have been made simpler and probably fixeable by a do it yourselfer IF there werent so much little stuff going on in the lid.

Love the size of the mug and the logo looks great! Be sure to keep this thing level though because your beverage will leak out of the lid even if its tightly closed and there''s not much liquid.

Nike Running Handheld Water Bottle

I really love the idea, but the water bottle leaks all over me and my hand. I''d much rather drink the fluids I run with than have them stain my clothes and skin.

i always wanted some water to drink while i run my long runs for couple hours... i dont want a heavy camel back but they are nice for mountain biking ( as much i can do in fl lol) and i dont want hold water bottle like a regular one... i like the strap it actually helps to my suprise... it has a nice little pocket to hold some money or keys what you like that is small and may need. mine does not leak but i may just got lucky... it has a grip like rubber thing on other side that helps. so i like it for my runs and works great... if you just want some water get it!!!

I was in the market for some clip-on aerobars to help improve my cycling time in bi''s/du''s/tri''s. My initial research found clip-on''s in the range of $30 to well over $400. I wanted to stay in the lower range for my first try and came across these. The reviews were fairly good on these so I pulled the trigger and ordered them.

They arrived and had a box full of extra''s that for me weren''t necessary for the installation. There were instructions in the box, but it''s really pretty straight-forward putting them on your bicycle. Within 20 mins I had them on the bike and ready for a ride. The aerobars performed admirably, especially for the price. There are two reasons I didn''t give them 5/5 stars. First being the padding, simple velcro straps keep them in place and they work just fine, though some improvements could be made. The other thing is that not all the adjustments can be made without impacting other adjustments. I wanted to adjust the vertical angle of the forearm rests and in order to do so, you have to remove the padding, and the forearm rests themselves to get to the hex nut that controls the angle. There is also a minute horizontal forearm adjustment that can be made by rotating the forearm rests while the two hex nuts that hold it in place are loose. So the big complaint there is that I wish I could make individual adjustments without impacting some of the other tweaks I''ve made. Once you''ve got all the the adjustments made it''s not a big deal and I wouldn''t consider this a show stopper for the aerobars.

Overall the areobars do what you expect them to, and once fitted properly are comfortable and durable. For this price you can''t expect much more.

Have used this product for 2 months now and in an Olympic distance triathlon. I am quite pleased with its performance. My handlebars have a 31.8 bulge in the middle, but it doesn''t extend very far from the stem mounting and my bike computer mounts to my handlebars as well, so I had to mount these a little wider than I would have liked, but with the included shims and a little bit of old inner-tube rubber between the clamp and the handlebars, they don''t budge. I mounted them to regular rams-horn road bike handlebars and left my shifters/brakes in the same spot. Don''t forget to wrap the end of the arms with bar tape for extra comfort. Getting into an aero tuck makes your back and neck sore for the first week or so, but afterwards, its basically a free 1.5-2mph if there is any wind at all. My only complaint is that when getting out of the saddle on big climbs, you can hit your knee on the pads if you aren''t paying attention.

These areobars are functional, but could use a couple of modifications. First, let me say that I put them on way small diameter handle bars using thick aluminum shims that I made from bar stock. That was a pain, but that was my fault because I measured wrong (measure twice). That aside, once installed, they work well. my only real gripe is that you have to disassemble it too much to adjust anything. Simple modifications would allow access to all screws without taking the thing apart. Oh well. I would also like it if the arm pads flipped up when not in use. These are my first aeorbars and I love using them. I put them on a cheap trek hybrid, but think they are a great addition. I find the tuck position far less tiring than normal riding position and it is a HUGE advantage when riding into the wind. I gain at least 1 mph without any alteration in how I ride, maybe 2 mph. I won''t own a bike without aerobars again. For those who say they are only for time trial or triathlon, that is nonsense. I use it for commuting and it make the ride much better. As for comments from others about destabilization of the bike, there is a little of that, but I quickly got used to it and now feel very confident and comfortable using them. Maybe the issue is with the bike? Get them (or a different set) you will like them. One word of advice, I adjusted mine so the are not really that low. Since these are for a commute there is not disadvantage to having them higher than recommended for optimal performance, and I think they are a little more comfortable in a slightly (about an inch) higher position that recommended by most of the web sites I read on how to position them. I also set them fairly wide apart so my elbows are not tucked in too tight. I think this probably adds to comfort and maybe stability due to the wider base it gives. Anyway, that is my two cents. I''d give them 5 stars if they were easier to adjust as noted above.

purchased to replaced profile aerobars with flip up armrests. Very stable, very aero and comfortable. If you tend to ride with your hands on the top bar of your handlebars, there isn''t enough space for your hands. Since I ride either in drops,on brake hoods, or in aero...this is not a problem for me.

I put these on my new trek hybrid and they are great! Light weight very strong and have improved my over all speed average considerably. Only took 5 minutes to install. I have ridden 200 miles so far and no problems.

WaterBrick Water Container 3.5 Gallon BPA Free Portable and Stackable

After much research for water storage for emergencies I concluded this was the best option. You can stack them easily like legos so total number is up to you. They are durable and with their size and carry handle, you can easily tote them around as needed unlike some other larger containers.

A must for any prepper. They are modular and don''t take up much room. You can use them for storing anything like water or any grain (rice, flour, wheat, cereal, etc). Perfect for bugging out or use for bugging in. I would recommend getting them in fours. That way you can stack them. These are awesome!!!

So far so good. Took this car camping and it fits neatly almost anywhere thanks to it''s slim design and profile. Washed it out with some baking soda and non-chlorine peroxide based "bleach" and did not have any funky smells or tastes in the water (I had some issues with other plastic containers making the water taste like plastic). The lid seals great. A little tough when it comes time to wash it out, as the inner design makes nooks that make it hard to get all the water out. I had to keep shaking it out and leaving on a table outside on a warm day to get it all the way dried out. It took some time. I also purchased the spigot built into a separate lid. Not too happy with that, but that''s a different review. All in all, I will be purchasing a second and maybe third. The seller ships USPS "Parcel Post" which can be hit and miss with shipping times (though they did send a tracking number with the shipping email).

Waterbricks are great little water storage containers, they are super tough. I filled them up and used them in a camping trip last Fall and they were great. Right now I have them sitting above my large water tank ready to be filled in the event I need to take water with me on the go.

I didn''t have any problems with leaking like one of the reviewers stated. I think he/she probably just has the wrist strength of a 90 year old woman.

We had a tornado cut through our upstate vacation area a while back. We don''t see that type of weather much at all and we lost power and water for several days. That taught me to be a little more prepared.

I researched water containers and bought a few of these with a spigot. I cleaned them with a little bleach and lemon juice. Filled them with filtered water, added water preserver concentrate, and now store them in the garage with the boxes they came in for covers. I can write expire dates on the boxes and they help to keep the bricks clean. The 3 1/2 gallon containers are easy to move or transport if necessary and so far no leaks.

I sent a couple of bricks to my kids and would recommend them to others. Buy in bulk from the factory cuts the cost down.

QRAFT Premium Glass Sports Water Bottle 18 oz

I love this water bottle. It''s a good thick glass. The clear spot on the lid is glass as well. The only reason I didn''t give it five stars is because I was expecting a 20 oz bottle and it''s actually a 16. ;) Just so other buyers know.

Last year i owned a really cute glass water bottle [metal and plastic bottles that say BPA free make me paranoid]. I received so many compliments with that bottle and i had it for months until i dropped it on the floor. the glass is thick on this water bottle but not thick enough to withstand being dropped on concrete. I kept the original silicone sleeve, lid and blender bottle mixer i had fit into it and tossed the glass.

I have looked everywhere for this damn bottle as the original one i had bought at a Ross . I''m so glad to have this bottle back , it''s so cute and i have gotten a lot of questions as to what happened to my old bottle . It''s a little small but very aesthetically pleasing and easy to clean . I love this product and if it breaks again i would definitely replace it

From looking at the bottle youll never tell and it wont make a difference. But for me I was making an art/christmas project that required acid etching, the lid worked fine, however the bottle would not etch, I''m assuming it is because it is a sort of pyrex. Either way we painted on the etching for the bottle part and it looks great, I did not use this for drinking of any kind so I cannot comment on that. See the pictures for what I did.

Very beautiful product. The lid is very study and the glass is nice and thick. It receives a downgrade as the lid arrived with a crack.

H2O4K9, Stainless Steel K9 Water Bottle (25-Ounce)

This is a very well designed dog waterier. The top fits nicely and my dogs are comfortable drinking out of it. I also really like that I can pour the unused water back in the bottle. My only complaint is that it is made of very thin stainless steel so it dents easily. As soon as you feel the weight of the bottle you realize that the steel is extremely thin as it weighs nothing. We dropped ours and it had several dents due to the thinness of the steel.

I like this bottle for quick hikes after work, early in the morning or just to throw in the back of the truck for a quick sip. The water stays fresh and it stays cold for a long time. There are no wet flimsy bowls to dry out. The only draw back for my dog is that he is so large and is the kind of dog who likes to stick his whole head in water to take a drink so he really doesn''t like drinking out of the lid. But, he finally does and there is no spill. I am a bit of a gadget freak so I like the fact there is no mess and you can clip if you want to put it on something. I haven''t done this yet, but it''s nice to know if I need to use it I can.

This is the best looking dog water bottle I can find so far. I have tried all sorts of portable water carrier for dogs on a long walk: a sport squeeze nozzle, a fabric foldable bowl, a tray-like one that clips onto any bottles, and none of them makes both the dog and the human happy. The cup of this bottle is deep enough for dogs to drink from and it just screws on as the cap of the bottle. body is a sturdy metal, after 6 months'' use there''s no sign of rust. the 25 oz size is big enough for my husky on a 2 hour walk. My only complaint would be the cap scratches the bottle around the curvy part when you screw it on and off but i guess i can live with it.

Finally a healthy water bottle for dogs! Water does not smell funny, dogs quickly learn to use top as a mini water dish. Large bottle good for two hour hike in hot weather. Add ice cubes, put in neoprene sling holder and enjoy walk hands-free. Top stays secure, top and bottom easy to clean. Allow stainless steel bottom to dry fully before replacing top. Excellent product!

Ordered this for my Granddaughter for her lunch box. She loves it and it is holding up well (even from dishwasher use). Holds shape and doesn''t taste like plastic.

Stainless Steel Drinking Bottle Cap

I reviewed the bottle that this cap is used on earlier so i wont bore you with that again. The stainless steel bottle comes with a fancy "sports cap" that leaks as soon as the bottle is filled. To avoid this this cap is needed and, in fact, should come with the bottle standard! This is really a rip off.

The steel screw cap with loop works great with the 40oz bottle. I was a bit confused trying to be sure that I was getting the right sized bottle and style of cap, but going directly to seller''s webpage (Dr Holistic Market) made that much easier.

Buy Stainless Steel Drinking Bottle Cap Now

When I ordered my stainless steel Enviro water bottle, it came with a sports cap that was plastic and basically ''crappy!.'' I was disappointed with the quality of the cap, but had seen this blue replacement cap on a friends bottle and knew this was a much better option.

Pros: Cap seals tight and the loop top allows me to attach a clip so that I can take it with me hands free if necessary.

Cons: Because the threaded neck seals down into the bottle, you cannot fill it all the way to the top. If you do, when you screw the cap down into the neck, the cap will push the excess water out of the bottle. This isn''t a huge inconvenience, but if you''re purchasing a smaller water bottle, filling it less than full may not give you as much water as you bottle truly holds.

Overall, I''m happy with the quality and the cap is very easy to keep clean.

I use the cap on the 1-liter bottle. I found the bottle and cap to be good quality, easy to clean, and fits into cupholders. I use the optional cap instead of the provided suck-nipple. The cap is a bit of a pain because of overflows after filling. The solution has been to leave a fair amount of air at the top when filling. This is not a problem with the nipple since it is hollow.

great shipping and processing etc. however this is completely unnecessary since the bottles already come with a cap. Unless you''re going to be throwing your water bottle around and trying to break the cap.. this is useless.
