Individual Workout Kit - One 32 oz Gatorade G Bottle

It may just be my supplier but my towel was horrible quality...it''s like someone naught a cheap towel from bed bath & beyond and spray painted Gs on it. Litterally feels like spraypaint, really rough and not full filled in. Just poor quality. But the bottle was nice though.

Avenir Standard U-Lock and Cable Lock Duo Save 25% off

For a mere $18.68, I wasn''t expecting a lock of such quality. Add a few more $$$ and get free shipping from Amazon.com. This lock actually compares to many higher priced OnGuard & Kryptonite locks. I bought this lock to use for my second (cheaper) bike. Had I known in advance I may have bought two of them.

With a simple twist on the barrel, there''s a cover for the key hole protecting it from the weather, should a storm come up. The 10mm x 4ft flexible coated steel cable is thick enough so that it would take some serious bolt cutters to get through. There''s even a user''s guide with various lock strategies. As of this writing (12-09-2010) there''s only two left in stock. Get yours now.

The only drawback I can see is there''s no guarantee against theft as with some OnGuard & Kryptonite locks. Last thought...I live in what has to be called a high crime area. Leave a bicycle unlocked & walk away it''ll be gone in 30 seconds. Would I use this lock if I didn''t trust it?

Edit: I''ve now added a 3rd bike. And a 3rd Avenir Lock the Avenir Standard U-Lock

My girlfriend and I just got into riding. We both have standard road bikes, but I am 6''4 and she is 5''6. This lock fits fine on my bike since it has a large frame and does not interfere with my water bottle holder, however, on my g/f''s bike, she must make the decision of whether she wants the water bottle holder or the lock. We keep the bikes inside, so like a previous poster said, we can just take the locks when we need them (b/c they are a bit heavy), but that just also implies that they are strong and durable. For $18-$20, you can not beat the price.

Like I said, the lock itself is great, but if you plan on mounting it on your bike and riding around with it all the time, I think it would work better with a larger framed bike that has more space (unless the lock is the only piece you have attached).

Wanted to save 10 bucks and found this lock in pieces where my bike used to be. You can save money on a lock if you don''t mind buying an extra bike. Don''t be cheap. Keep your bike.

I bought this based on a review that said that Avenir locks are similar quality to Bulldog locks because they are both manufactured by the same company. Sadly, they were wrong. This lock set was not bad, but I would say it is one or two notches below Bulldog/Kryptonite quality.

After using this lock almost daily for a month, the keys would no longer turn the locking mechanism. The keys and lock did not fit together in a way that allowed the lock to turn, which I suspect is due to the lower quality metal making up the lock & key. The metal felt much more flimsy and malleable on this Avenir lock than on my old Bulldog and Kryptonite locks (which have lasted years).

I should have anticipated this problem when I noticed early on: (1) how the key + lock did not slide together smoothly and (2) the metal on the key scratched up very easily and there was a lot of "give" to the key, when it met resistance with the lock when turning.

Conclusion: Pay a little more and get a Bulldog or Kryptonite lock.

Want Avenir Standard U-Lock and Cable Lock Duo Discount?

I was very pleased with my lock and thought I was doing well by going the extra mile and getting the combination u-lock and cable.

Unfortunately I was wrong.

My bike was stolen when the perpetrator cut through the bar of the u-lock with a simple bolt cutter. They cut through with a clean cut in what appears to be the first try. Do not buy this lock if you plan to use it for securing your bike other than while out and about in public. The u-lock appears to be sturdy but its construction makes it easy for thieves to cut it with simple tools in a matter of minutes. Invest in a sturdier lock or move your bike to a more secure location.

2-Pack Lifefactory 22-Ounce Beverage Bottles

these are the perfect solution to having a glass drink bottle to travel with. they are very durable, I have dropped mine on my ceramic tile twice and still no cracks. Love that they keep drinks cold for longer too.

I ordered this for in my child''s lunchbox. We ordered larger sized bottles for regular use and absolutely love them! We are trying to avoid using toxic chemical leeching plastics and these bottles are perfect for carrying drinks around. Initially I was concerned about it being glass and breaking but after more than 6 months of use they are still in new condition! The glass is wonderfully durable and thick. The cap is fitted with a flat ring gasket that easily seals when the cap is just hand-tightened. These bottles do not leak! :) The silicone sleeve is a great addition; it helps protect the glass and adds a nonslip surface to grip... not to mention they make them in such a variety of colors! My kids loved being able to pick the color of their cover and cap. This option makes identifying who the bottle belongs to! I will definitely purchase more of these bottles for other loved ones in the near future. Note, they do have a slight smell when first unwrapped. This is simply from the product being new. It in no way affected the beverages held in the bottle and quickly went away. Leaving the bottle simply sit out after unwrapping it and giving it a quick wash in warm soapy water will get rid of the smell. I highly recommend Lifefactory''s bottles. They are an outstanding quality product that will last for years and are well worth every cent spent on them.

Neff Men''s NF0206-cyan Interchanable Face Adjustable Silicon Band Watch Save 25% off

This is a nice quality watch but it is for a very large adult. I bought it for my grandson and it is unusable even if I would adjust the band. The band is adjustable it can be made smaller but in order to do so, you have to cut the band. Then you cannot make it larger later it you want to. The product description does not give enough information to make an intelligent decision.

My 16yr old son loved it. He was so happy when he got it for christmas. So I also got one for my 13 yr old son, since he loved his brothers.

Buy Neff Men''s NF0206-cyan Interchanable Face Adjustable Silicon Band Watch Now

Since this watch is so cheap, you shouldn''t expect any high end watch materials.

The front glass is not scratch proof, but you shouldn''t expect a watch at this price to be so.

A simple quartz movement powers this watch. The lack of hour markers may prove a slight bit of annoyance for those that like to take a quick glance at their watches, but this watch isn''t designed for that.

This watch is designed purely for looks.

What is interesting is that the actual watch casing is removable from the strap. This means that if you purchase any other colored versions of this watch, you could swap out the bands and mix up the colors.

The silicone band is adjustable, but it is designed to be cut, so it cannot be extended once it is shortened. Make sure to cut one link at a time to avoid over tightening the band. This might prove to be the most annoying part of this watch.

For the right audience, this is a fantastic watch at its low price point.

Makes an excellent gift!

Watch is good quality and is removable for fit into different bands. The way to size is easy, but was not explained anywhere. I went to numerous blogs until I got some ideas on how to resize the band. Otherwise I like it.

Gaiam Flower Power Yoga Mat Bag & Water Bottle Set Keylime Save 33% off

Product is well suited to my needs. The yoga mat bag easily fits my standard size Gaiam-brand mat. It''s easy to get my mat in and out. Shoulder strap is comfortable and easy-to-carry. The design on the mat bag isn''t overly exciting but it is functional and worth the price. The water bottle is a nice bonus, but no terribly exciting. If you want the kit more for the bottle and the bag I would suggest buying a different product. Otherwise, the dual-set is a fantastic value and functional.

Looks great, constructed in good quality. Worked through several semesters with me dragging it around campus. No wear and tear. Only thing is that I can''t seem to get my yoga mat to fit in it as well as it did when I first purchased it. That might be my mat though.

Platypus SoftBottle with Push-Pull Cap

I like the trees design.

It looks like I''ll still need to wash it frequently and the cap will eventually have built up too many grooves for my comfort. I still prefer push pull over hyperflow (cover sold seperately) and closure cap (less comfortable to drink from with my mouth and less flow control). The curve helps with grip. It rolls or lays flat being both very light weight and easy to carry, when empty. No negative impact on taste. You can put more than just water in here, I just don''t.

As long as I don''t fill it to bursting and jump up and down on it, or other kinds of major abuse over the year, it won''t leak, lol.

Even with patterns, people still give it the side-eye and come up with imaginative ideas of what it is. When they think it is hospital gear, when they think IV bag, I don''t mind, but they think something else, I do. Other people say the curvy shape makes them think of a mini person. Needless to say, this is some unexpected entertainment of sorts. For some reason it isn''t obviously a water bottle to people, until I drink from it, lol. The caps look obvious to me, but I guess that''s just me.

The one with the loop for attaching it to things is bulkier, but sometimes I miss that feature.

Even though I keep buying new ones, there''s really nothing really wrong with my old ones. They''re easier to store than than old milk bottles and taste better for emergency water storage. I exchange back and forth if I''m being lazy on cleaning up my current primary bottle. The gravity purifier is probably better for those purposes, though. (more water and filter).

Honestly, I''d be cool if they sold these in some kind of bulk pack, like they do the wine preservers.

I know nalgenes are the still rage and finally BPA-free, but they don''t really offer any advantages that I''m interested in. The knock off Platypus''s might look more commercial, but I prefer transparency for cleanliness, etc. and those don''t have the same quality material and construction.

the bottle is great for snowboarding, when the water is gone it stores easy in a small pocket!

I will say a half liter of water is for sure not enough. If buy another,, I''ll surely get the 1 liter or bigger!

Activator spray bottle for yogitoes skidless yoga mat towel

I misunderstood. I thought this was going to include some sort of chemical to make my yoga towel stickier. This is bascially just a very tiny spray bottle. I have to fill it up twice to spray my yoga towel prior to yoga practice and it only helps a little bit. I still slip around. It''s a cute, convenient little spray bottle but I just didn''t know it would be so small and be empty.

Bluewave Water Jug - DAILY 8® 1.9 Liter (64 oz) BPA Free Reusable Bottle

There are 7 categories of Plastics. Depending on the category number, the plastic container may be safe for re-use. Blue Wave Water Jug is Plastic Category #7 -which means the chemical composition that''s in the plastic doesn''t fall in the other general categories. In other words, "use-at-your-own-risk" because it''s not the typical kind that can be categorized. For a more comprehensive explanation of plastic categories, visit this link:Based from what i read, plastics #2, #4, and #5 are the only ones meant to be re-used. I''ve reviewed 2 other bottles and they were Plastic Category #1. I think this is a step-up than those two. But nonetheless, my search for a big bottle container that''s "safe" (not only BPA-free) continues...

The mouthpiece of the jug was a bit worn (i don''t know how) when I received it and it was poorly boxed. My jug actually said 72 ounces on it not 64. But other than that I use it every day for my "daily 8" glasses of water. It really forces you to drink all 8 glasses, not just estimate. =)

Buy Bluewave Water Jug - DAILY 8® 1.9 Liter (64 oz) BPA Free Reusable Bottle Now

Clearly this maker is suffering from inconsistent manufacturing. Let me start by saying that I''m a BIG man, I bend metal with my hands for a living, I''m no lilting flower. So when I say that I could only get the sip cap open with pliers, you should understand my full meaning.

A tale of two bottles:

bottle 1: this bluewave water jug

bottle 2: a cheapy no-name at Rite Aid.

Materials: the Rite aid bottle is make of PET, or the same as most single-use bottles. Can be easily recycled.

The BlueWave bottle is made of type 7 plastic: ie not registered and only recyclable by grinding into "plastic lumber"

Both claim to be BPA free, But I think I trust the type 1 plastic a lot more.

Sip caps: Both have the standard pull up sip cap. the Rite aid cap can be opened with my front teeth, or with two fingers. However it takes a little force to close properly. the blue wave would not open with front teeth, back teeth, two hands or any other method that someone driving a car would have at the ready. I eventually got the Bluewave bottle open with pliers. I can no open it with back teeth and a LOT of force. Also requires some force to close properly. Caps seem to made of the same material

Flexibility: the Rite Aid PET containers have a nice flex that allow you to suck great sips out of the bottle, though it will only deliver a dribble via gravity. I put some hot water in the Bluewave bottle to force through the cap in hopes it would get "lubricated" and open more easily. I had to flex the bottle to do this. I has wrinkled at one point. I can see how this would readily start to crack and give up the ghost early.

If you don''t intend to use the sip cap, and just want a sealable jug of this size, ten this jug will be fine. If you''re looking for a big sports bottle, then I would suggest going elsewhere.

This jug is great for the office. It''s easy to get lost in a day''s work and forget to drink your daily 2 liters. Filling this jug is my first task during the day, and after that it''s never a problem to finish it off before the day''s over.

Some of the older review indicate that this jug is not BPA free, however mine from 5/2011 has a BPA free label on the bottom.

Want Bluewave Water Jug - DAILY 8® 1.9 Liter (64 oz) BPA Free Reusable Bottle Discount?

Was looking for a decent BPA-free water bottle that had a handle like this one. In design, this bottle is great, but when it finally arrived the bottle had a large hole in it. Kinda'' defeats the purpose of having a bottle if it''s just going to crack like that. I imagine it was either used, returned by another dissatisfied customer and then sent to me, god forbid. Or whoever was handling the packaging may have accidentally dropped it, which is more likely since the crack resembles the bottle was bashed in. Anyway, I don''t think I''ll end up ordering another one only because this bottle seems fragile, and it looks like one drop on the sidewalk, or even on the floor at work could mean shattering it. I wouldn''t order this if I were you. :[

Official US Military ACU MOLLE II Canteen Utility Pouch

Nice pouch...will fit canteen and cup, drain grommet at the bottom, MOLLE straps are good and the two side pouches are good for fuel tabs or other small knick-knacks.

If...a big IF...you get a cup, canteen, lid, and stove combo where the stove fits well on the OUTSIDE of the cup, a couple of estbit tabs and water purification tablets in one pouch and a waterproof match holder and hobo tool on the other and you''ve got yourself a one heckuva lightweight portable kitchen.

Only drawback...the shock cords. The elasticity is good, but the cords stick out on the sides. Maybe I''m too critical, but they just bug me. Other than that, I''d recommend these to anyone.

I''ll be buying another for the missus''s rig.

All right I''m a Post VietNam-era Army Veteran, and didn''t keep my Army-issued canteen equipment (oh well), so I FINALLY bit the bullet and got this canteen utility pouch Official US Military ACU MOLLE II Canteen Utility Pouch along with the BPA-free canteen Nalgene BPA Free Tritan Oasis Canteen 32 Oz Narrow Mouth Bottle

Weight (canteen with water, stove, lid, and my firesteel & striker) 4 lbs. 5 1/2 oz!

Not the lightest weight for toting, true. FOR ME, however, it *does* serve its purpose for out-in-the field carry (day hikes, solo car camping), or items for my car emergency kit.

It''s a matter of taste, personal preference, and intention of usage.

My bottom line: If you want it, get it. I did, and I''ll post pictures of its application. (if allowed).
