MLB Boston Red Sox Two Piece 15-Ounce Glass Tankard Set

MLB Boston Red Sox Two Piece 15-Ounce Glass Tankard Set- Primary LogoThese glasses are smaller than I thought they would be, not a bad thing though just a thought. They are very well made glasses and the logo looks to be imprinted very well. I bought these for a friend and I''m sure that he will love them.

My son loves the Red Sox and his tall, cold glass of beer when watching them. I think he is going to love these mugs.

I hope to get them engraved for an extra special touch.

Sherpani Tre Medium Shoulder Bag

Sherpani Tre Medium Shoulder Bag - BlackLOVE this bag. I can tell a lot of thought went into each feature. It''s the perfect size and shape for workit carries all the usual stuff (phone, keys, wallet etc.) and still has room for a hardcover, lunch, or even shoes. The interior drink pouch is genius, and I like the zippered pockets to keep my ipod and work badge secure. The covered-but-accessible pockets are perfect for a phone, so I can grab it quickly without having to dig. Love the magnetic closure so I don;t have to worry about always making sure it is closed. My one very minor gripe is the elastic closure with a hook can''t be undone with one handnot very convenient when you need to get out your keys with a drink in one hand. But otherwise, a perfect bag that''s a little bigger then a purse, but smaller than a messenger bag.

I bought this bag to use because I no longer need a large diaper bag for my 19 month old. I was looking for a bag that was large enough for diapers, snacks, a sippy cup, some toys and my wallet, etc. I also wanted a bag that was sturdy and easy to clean. This bag is great. I only wish it were a tiny bit bigger. It fits, diapers, a hard plastic wipes container, a small cosmetic case, my wallet, some thin board books, my cell phone and my camera. I love the amount of pockets this bag has to easily organize all of the things I hold. I would definitely buy this bag or another Sherpani bag again!

I discovered new feature after new feature the first three or four times I used this bag, each time to much joy & excitement.

There are a total of four zipper compartments: (1) the main compartment, which is large enough to fit a spiral notebook, (2) a small pocket within the main compartment for a wallet, bag of tissues, or other small items, (3) the pocket you see on the outside of the bag, perfect for holding a cell phone, and (4) a pretty sizable "secondary" pocket that I usually use for a small jar of Vaseline, lip balm, and other small items that would otherwise get lost at the bottom of the bag.

On top of these compartments, there are also 4 "pockets, each of which is large enough to fit my very fat clutch wallet, an oversized pair of sunglasses, or whatever else you might need. I wouldn''t recommend overstuffing each and every single pocket, though, as it may be difficult to close the bag afterwards. Two of these pockets are inside the zippered main compartment; two are just outside it for easier access but still protected from pickpockets by the "messenger bag" flap.

There''s also a drawstring pocket for a water bottle and a keychain ring on the inside of the main pocket.

I''ve been using this bag pretty much every day since I got it a few weeks ago, and I love it so much that I had to get a second one for my grandma, who loves her bags with lots of pockets and zippers.

I had seen this bag in a retail store and was excited to find it on Amazon for a lower price. Unfortunately the bag that I received did not have the interior water bottle holder as I had seen in the store, even though the description on Amazon stated that it had this feature.

So disappointed that I will have to return it.

I loved this bag, large, with many pockets. I used it three or four days, and found one of the straps was ripping away from the bag. I did return it, and went back to my old standby "Keen". Sherpani needs to put the straps in the middle like most bags to help distribute the weight of the bag, and to avoid the constant "falling over" of the bag.

Platy Soft Bottle with HyperFlow Cap

Platy Soft Bottle 0.5L with HyperFlow Cap, GrayThe only issue I had with this bottle is the "Hyperflow Cap". It was very difficult to drink water through it, so I would usually resort to just taking the cap off to drink. Obviously, defeating the purpose of the cap. Other than the cap it performed just like every other Platypus bottle I own. The contour of the bottle did make it less awkward to carry, however. The construction of the bottle is great, very durable. I have never been afraid that I might break or puncture it, and I have tossed it, dropped it, dropped things on it, etc. All in all, it is a good product, but not great only because of the cap. Would I buy it again? Sure, just with a different cap.

The product is great but it would be better if it had a place to clip a leash to it carry easier like the original one. I ended up getting an insulated carrying case for it to solve this issue. The colors make it great to tell which one belongs to who when traveling with friends. I liked the bite tube. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to open and close it. It does not drip or leak at all when closed. It freezes well too and when empty rolls up small like a tube of toothpaste. I wished I would have known that you can buy a protective cap for the top so that the drinking end does not get contaminated by touching other objects Platypus Bite Valve Cover. I found out about that option after I received it. The accessories were listed on the back of the package. I think that should come standard. I also would recommend buying the screw on cap in case you want to pour water out of it easily. I bought the 1 liter size and should have bought one of each size.

The top makes it easy to drink from, but it sticks out so much, its hard to store in the frig. The 0.5L is a little small for me. But it is lightweight for travelling, which is a plus.

I bought this to go on my daily runs. It works much nicer than a water bottle. Its super light to begin with. You can fill it up and it will stand up when full. You can hold it pretty easily when running. If you keep the air out, no water will slosh arounda great benefit. When you are half full, you can fold it in half and it is a lot easier to hold in your hand when running. The mouth valve works great, just as good as my camelback setups. The 0.5liter bottle is a lot easier to carry than the liter bottle (I bought both).

I love theseI had the old style that gave out after 15 years. I had a neoprene pouch for them that made it easy to drink out of and kept it cool and reduced condensation. To my knowledge these new shapes do not have a holster that fits them. They do fit in car cup holders easily but they flop over when they are about half full and the seams are kinda stiff and sharp so I would really like to be able to put it in something. I have hard water bottles of course but I use these as ice packs in my coolers. I freeze them and put them in the cooler and then have cool water later in the dayit does not work as well with hard water bottles.

The half liter does not stay frozen for more than a few hours (definitely not the whole day like the 1 L) and of course it only holds a half liter of water which is really not much (yes I knew that when I bought it and am not faulting the item for that).

The hyperflow cap is super easy to drink out of and does not leak. I feel a little iffy about really getting it clean but so far I don''t see signs of grime building up. My only beef with the cap coupled with this skinny bottle shape is that the bottle itself ends up being very tall (11 3/8in) for the amount of water it holds. The cap adds 1.75in to the height compared to a flat cap! The 1L with hyperflow is the height of a 2L soda bottle making it very difficult to fit into coolers which is why I tried the 0.5L. It fits into my tall lunch coolers but it is tight! I wish they had 0.75L size but realize that is a bit picky of me. Still I don''t think the new shape has enough benefits given that the extra height is sort of annoying.

Cafe Cap

Cafe CapThis cap is a great addition to the Klean Kanteen bottles. I have several Klean Kanteen bottles, both insulated and non-insulated. You just need to understand that this cap is not meant to be a leak proof cap. (The packaging clearly states this, as does the Klean Kanteen website.) It''s a spill resistant cap. So no, you can''t throw your bottle in your backpack with this cap on it. But at the same time, you do no have to unscrew the cap when you want to take a drink. The cap is meant to be used when using your bottle at a desk/table, or when sitting at home, etc. Yes, it would be nice if Klean Kanteen also made a cap that met in the middle. A cap that was leak proof, but quick and easy to drink from. Like the sports cap they have for the classic bottles. Personally I hate sport caps, so I''m glad to have this cap as an option.And when used for for what it is designed for, it is a great cap. Just set your expectations correctly, and you will be pleased.

One reviewer saw the cleaning of this cap as a negative. I see it as a HUGE positive. You can quickly and easily pop it apart and clean it *thoroughly*. (And it is dishwasher safe.) The caps I''ve had in the past on all the different coffee tumblers and water bottles I have tried (and there have been many) had one or more places that were impossible to clean. Either a rubber gasket or some other spin top that you could not get under. I drink chai lattes. I hate to think of the bacteria that was able to grow in those nooks and crannies that I could not get into to wash all the milk out of. After I broke a ceramic tumbler I had from a certain ubiquitous coffee place, I ripped the gasket out of the cap out of curiosity... the gunk I saw in there made my stomach turn to think I had been drinking from that cup. I think the reviewer that commented on the cap getting dirty between the two parts simply miss the point that that happens on ALL coffee type caps of this type. But with most, you can''t take them apart and see the dirt, let alone clean it. So being out of sight, people do not realize the dirt that is there.

Overall, this is a 4.9 star cap. I do wish the opening was a touch bigger so I could "guzzle" water from it when I want. With it''s current design, I can only drink at a moderate rate. But I have found that the case with all cups/caps I have tried. (I think they are designed that way to prevent people from spilling on themselves if they tip the cup/bottle at too great an angle.) So when I want to do such, I simply take the cap off and guzzle away :)

One other comment... some reviewers have asked a question along the line of "why don''t they add a gasket to make it leak proof." I think the reason Klean Kateen does not make a leak proof cap like such as that is that they would need to use rubber (or such) in the gasket. The company is very much about using materials that are food safe. Also, those gaskets deteriorate over time and start to "flake". Then those small pieces get into your beverage. Based on marketing material on their website, I think Klean Kateen is all about safe, durable, and sustainable products & materials. And the material used for gaskets do not live up to that philosophy. I agree a leak proof cafe cap would be nice. But I would not one that has any questionable materials. So I''m willing to live with the minor inconvenience of switching caps.

The cap is made out of a BPA free plastic that does not affect the taste of what you are drinking. It is a cafe cap.. meaning a cap to mostly drink out of. It does not leak at all during normal use. It will leak slowly however if you have a sipping cap on it and hold it upside down. It''s a sipping cap. I use it in my office and taking drinks too and from work in my car''s cup holder or my hand or sitting upright in a bag. It works perfectly for all of these uses.

To clean it normally you can just rinse it out with warm soapy water or put it in the dishwasher. To give it a good spring cleaning you pop the top bit off of the other bit and wash them separately. They are designed to easily come apart and be put back together. I have had it two years now and was very satisfied with it. Apparently someone else was too because my klean kanteen was stolen at work, which is why I came here to immediately replace it.

At first I was disappointed to find that the cap is not leak proof, and that Klean Kanteen didn''t have a more sophisticated design for a sipper cap. Turns out they actually designed the most practical and healthy cap available. It''s true that the cap is not leak proof, but that''s the trade off for having a cleanable and long term use cap at this point. It''s designed to come apart for cleaning, which is not the case with the competing brands that have what appear to be excellent designed caps for leak proofing, but since they are not designed to be taken apart are nearly impossible to clean and use longterm with proper hygiene. Others that cannot be separated for cleaning will always eventually, some actually quite quickly (see related Amazon reviews), form bacteria in between the moving parts., leading to among others, foul smell and taste, and obviously not healthy. Yes, it''s plastic... but BPA free and recyclable at least. Until a non-plastic cap is manufactured, this is the most healthy and practical cap available, and has secured my continued patronage to Klean Kanteen.

I have Klean Kanteen''s 16-ounce insulated bottle so I bought this cap to go with it. It''s very convenient and it''s the cap I use all the time while at home or at the office. I find it indispensable.

But because the cafe cap is not leakproof, when I carry the bottle outside I have to put back the original cap that came with it. Because of this, I only gave it four stars. I know it''s possible to make a cafe-style cap that is leakproof because an inexpensive plastic water bottle I bought at the drugstore a few weeks ago has one. A hinged tab on the cap lifts up to take a sip and snaps back down. There is a gasket on the underside of the tab that makes it waterproof. So it can be done.

As for cleaning the cafe cap, it''s a little inconvenient but it''s pretty easy to pop off the rotating disk that covers the drinking hole. From the underside/inside of the cap, just squeeze the little post in the center while simultaneously pushing it out. The disk slides out so you clean it.

So while not perfect, it''s still a pretty handy cap to have and I use it all the time. I would not hesitate to buy it again. But I sure wish Klean Kanteen would design another cap for the bottle that is both leakproof and easy to drink from.

This top fits perfectly on my wide-mouth insulated Klean Kanteen, making my once water-bottle into a travel mug! It makes sipping my water, coffee, and other beverages so much easier! I was getting tired of the twist-off tops and wanted something a bit more accessible. However, this top, unlike the twist-off ones that come with the Kanteens, leaks at the spout. It''s not surprising, I have never found a coffee top that is 100% leak-proof. So, if you''re just walking with your beverage in your hand and are not anticipating sloshing around your Kanteen, use this top. But if you are planning on hiking or walking, and need to put your Kanteen in a bag or somewhere it may get knocked over, use the twist-off top instead. Both are very valuable to have around, though.

New Wave Enviro BPA Free Round Bulk Water Bottle (1-Gallon)

New Wave Enviro BPA Free Round Bulk Water Bottle, 1-GallonIt is adequate as a water bottle; but it falls short size wise. When I fill it at the machine the water overflows out of it due to it''s size, slightly less than a gallon.

Klean Kanteen Coffee Set Wide Mouth Insulated Bottle

Klean Kanteen Coffee Set Wide Mouth Insulated Bottle w/ 2 Caps - Black Eclipse 16 oz.Klean Kanteen is well made, looks sleek & does what it''s suppose to. I mainly use this Kanteen for cold water from the water cooler. It stays cold for hours (at 70 degrees). Kanteen does not taste like stainless steel like some cheap-o canteens. I know this item is a little pricey but well worth it. Will try it soon with some Intellegentsia Coffee!

My boyfriend LOVES this thing, it keeps his coffee warm almost all day and the interchangeable caps are very helpful depending on what he''s doing. I''ll probably be ordering him another one soon!

If I had to fault this little bottle on something, it would have to be the lid. With this lid (that comes with it), it keeps it from spilling however it''s not great when you remove it to get a drink. The optional drinking lid makes up for that however then you give up the seal from leaking and also no tie down point. They would score a easy 5 if they designed a lid that would retain a seal AND allow for a quick drink without unscrewing it BUT it''s nicely designed, looks great, functions as promised and cleans up real easy. Great work.

Love this cup! I bought this for my boyfriend because his cup started to leave a metallic taste in his coffee but we just couldn''t find a cup that would keep his coffee hot all the way to work. This one does! Haven''t used it for cold drinks but I have no doubt it will keep drinks nice and cold.

This is a great product. Keeps my coffee hot for a long time.

I would give it five stars, if it came with a handle, like a coffee mug

Eco Vessel Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Screw Cap (Bold Sports Bottle)

Eco Vessel Bold Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Screw CapSolid bottle with extra thick steel to prevent dents. Nice curve makes it easy to handle and the 2 openings make it easy to add Ice and drink from.

I wanted a nice water bottle for the gym. Within a week the color peeled from the bottom. I dropped it once and it dented in several places and more color peeled. It may have looked good for a couple of weeks. Now it looks like I had it for years. If I knew how quickly and easily the color got removed I would never have bought it.

It''s very cute. I like the color a lot. I prefer insulated version because these kind sweat if you put cold water, as it is normal for any water bottle. It came with small dents so I returned, and decided to order the insulated one just look like this. I really like insulated version.
