SIGG 1.5L Wide Mouth Traveler
I was happy with a regular Sigg, so I bought a few of these. They were obviously all from the same, faulty, batch. They all had the inner liner peel away at the top, apparently from the rubbing of the cap. My regular Sigg does not appear to have this problem, but I think it was a manufacturing rather than a design fault.Sigg has ignored my emails. I presume they use an over-aggressive spam filter, rather than sit there deleting them. I do not particularly care what the reason is. I will not buy from them again.
When you think about it, having a plastic inner liner is, in terms of chemical exposure, the same as having a plastic bottle from Nalgene or Camelbak. The only reasons to prefer the Sigg is aesthetics or cap preference.

This product''s walls should be a bit thicker to ensure minimal dents from dings e.g. it fell from knee height and now sways when sitting.Read Best Reviews of SIGG 1.5L Wide Mouth Traveler Here
Dropped it from about 4 feet, it broke the threads on one of the lids so it no longer seals. If you go to the website, it says "Now made with fewer threads so only a couple of twists will get you to your beverage quicker." Fewer threads make it cheaper and less robust, I have no idea why anyone would buy a delicate water bottle. I''ll go back to Nalgene, they work for years no matter what you do to them.Want SIGG 1.5L Wide Mouth Traveler Discount?
I bought 2 50oz Sigg bottles in 2007 and I used them 5 days a week for work and I would alternate the 2 bottles. Well one of them lasted about 3 years and the other one is still going strong........at least 6 years. The once I had problems with started to peel and leak, could have been from it being dropped so many times and may have screwed up the bottle. My current bottle has plenty of dents but no problems. Easy to carry with the loop top and seals great, never leaks. I just fill mine from the fridge with filtered water and I don''t even refrigerate......I''m easy. It does dent fairly easy or I would have given it 5 stars but is pretty durable.

G.I. Type Stainless Steel Canteen Cup
Contact seller before you purchase this item. Mine arrived and it was a grey color? When I looked inside there were chips taken out, under the "chips" was the stainless steel. I could tell because stainless steel has a metal look that is not mistakable. The "chips" looked like some kind of grey coating, don''t want to say paint, but not pure SS as SS doesn''t chip away. Would hate to see anyone boil water in the cup and have "chips" of whatever?? dangerous substance mixing with water you think you purifying. Maybe I got a dud or a fake, please be careful. I contacted Amazon to inform them since I was unable to contact seller directly about this. I hope they check into this, don''t want to see anyone hurt or possibly poisoned if using this to boil water or ?? Better safe than sorry. Still looking for a quality replacement for this item, maybe I''ll go to military store across town & see US issue up close!Didn''t other products like dog food and children''s toy''s come from China??, think they had safety issues as well...hum...anyway good luck to anyone who wants to use this product. Maybe it''s hit or miss on what you get coming out of China, I can only speak to my experience with this product, meaning the one I received. I hike and camp a lot and won''t risk it, it''s just not worth it to me to cheap out on such an important item in my kit. I spent a few more bucks and got high quality, safe, well tested equipment from tried and true companies. You could sand, polish, and buff to hearts contentit won''t turn this into stainless...
Buy G.I. Type Stainless Steel Canteen Cup Now
this 512 GI Canteen cup is the real thing. I was in the USARMY and I used this same type of Canteen cup for the entire time I was in the service. The Modern soldiers are getting away from useing them. But let me tell you the possiblities with this thing is endless. Just recently when I seperated from service and returned home my older brother, that is obcessed with anything military and a huge fan of Bear Grylles, Absolutely went wild over all my gear and was really interested in my canteen/canteen cup/Canteen Carrier. After introducing me to the Bear Grylles serries and saw his enthusiasim for survival he asked me to teach him how to do what "Bear" does. But for some reason he really wanted my canteen cup. So I came here to amazon and ordered the one you are looking at now. On his 36th birthday the cup showed up the day prior and I was the first to look at it to make sure it was like my real military issue. It was. of course mine was a lot more shinyer than his new one but mine had been in use for probaly 30 or so years.If you are looking for this kind of product, get this one on this page. If you do you WILL BE GETTING MILITARY ISSUE EQUIPTMENT. I also suggest you going and buying the following;
1 qt Canteen (plastic)
1 qt Canteen Cup
1 qt Cammo Canteen Cover
at least 2 or preferably more, "Alice Clips"
to attatch to your belt or gear
1 pistol belt
Canteen fits into the Canteen cup, which fits into the Canteen Carior, the alice clips are attatched to the back of the carrior, and the alice clips attatch the rig to your pistol belt.
If anyone has any further questions about military gear dont hesitate to send me a letter.

This IS stainless steel! There is NO baked on finish that is "toxic".I like many others felt this product was cheap garbage when I opened the package. I saw the made in china sticker and instantly thought the finish was baked on based on its appearance and country of origin. I was disappointed, but I weld and know finishes and metals, and so I decided to test the cup:
First thing I did was boil water in it on the stove for 5 min... no flaking. I thought, ok its a good baked on finish and they ensured it will perform to their product''s intended use. So then I took it outside and used the mapp torch on it. The whole bottom was cherry red and no flaking or more importantly burning! Then I repeated flame to the inside of the cup after dousing with water. Again, it was cherry red and no visible flaking or burning!! All along in the process of boiling water and heating the cup with the torch I never experienced noxious fumes or any strange smells. Then I went to the final test, I took 220 wet/dry paper out and sanded the inside bottom... lo and behold it looks like my stainless steel sink now! Again no paint dust or flecks were in the bottom after sanding just normal metal easily cleaned out with water. I also tested for aluminum and its not, nor does it dent easily like aluminum as I tried that approach as well. Therefore, I conclude that this is indeed stainless steel.
Again, this IS STAINLESS STEEL!!! It is just not polished like sinks, pots, and knives are, take out your sandpaper or steel wool and you''ll have a shiny looking canteen cup. I suspect that is how they save money on this cup by not polishing it. Its hard to find a canteen cup not made by the parent company that makes these and this is a good price compared to other stores that gouge you on these things, as the originals are getting hard to find.

This cup works fine and dandy. Just dont buy the suggested amazon pairing with the rothco 140 gi style canteen and canteen cover. The cup will not fit in the cover. Maybe if you grind the top edge of the cup it would, but im kinda disappointed with amazon for recommending the duo.
Hydro Flask Standard Mouth Sport Cap
Pros.Handy push/pull closure
Fits the smaller mouthed hydro flask bottles
Cons.
LEAKS if used every day. I used mine for only 2 weeks and it just leaked everywhere. I ended up going back to the standard lid.

I bought the 12 oz Hydro Flask Drinking Bottle and thought it was a good idea to also get the Hydro Flask Standard Mouth Sport Cap. Upon arrival it was working fine. In less than a day of usage, while opening the cap, the nozzle came out of place and got stuck inside the cap making it impossible to get it out. I can still drink water without the nozzle but it now leaks! Really disappointed since I wanted this to work so badly. Oh, well, now I''m sending it back for a refund.Read Best Reviews of Hydro Flask Standard Mouth Sport Cap Here
I love the water bottle that this lid fits on. Keeps ice cold water for 24 hrs. I love the idea of how easy it would be to drink water out of this sprout lid. In reality, however, there is a problem. When you pull up on the spout to get a drink there needs to be just the right amount of pressure applied. Too little and lid will not lift. Too much and the seal (a clear very small rubber band looking thing) flies off. I usually don''t swear but this bottle made me come close. I lost the seal once in a building so did find it. Another time in the car. That took some time but finally found it (it''s like looking for a contact lense not visible). Finally we took the thing rafting and I was initially upset when my young son pulled up too hard and sent the seal sailing into the river. Then I thought, "Good reddens!" The original lid with the Hydro Flask works for me.Want Hydro Flask Standard Mouth Sport Cap Discount?
The sport mouth cap is exactly what one needs while they are engaging in outdoor activity. Love it very much!
Tampa Bay Buccaneers NFL 16oz Stainless Steel Travel Mug
This mug is sturdy, well built, and a consistent winner...unlike the Buccaneers these days. Even though the Bucs have driven me to drink something other than coffee out of this mug, I''d still recommend it to any fan looking for a sturdy travel mug. The Stainless Steel is nice, and the raised logo is pretty large and looks good. No complaints here!

Primus Stainless Steel Drinking Bottle
I bought this bottle because it says it''s "STAINLESS STEEL"....this is NOT true. This bottle is powder coated ALUMINUM. A water bottle of this same QUALITY can be bought at the dollar store. The only difference would be the lid...which I''m also disappointed in.I also was unaware that the plastic lid screws onto the plastic threads that is ATTACHED to the aluminum. I was hoping that, firstthis bottle was stainless steel,and secondthat I could use as a water bottle and also cook in it when backpacking. Multiple uses type thing. But the plastic is attached. I''ll tell you if your buying it for that reason like I did it is a mistake. Also I don''t know what NALGENE bottles they compared it to but I have one here and the opening is not as large as on a nalgene bottle. Except for being a water bottle...as I suppose...you could say it''s advertised. It''s pretty useless.
Eco Vessel Tritan Sports Water Bottle with Flip Straw Top
I carry a water bottle around with me everywhere I go to make sure I drink enough water every day. I didn''t like certain things about my last water bottle, so I bought this one. It has everything I want in a water bottle: it''s lightweight, durable, has a straw that folds down, transparent, and it is 25 oz., which is a good size. I also like the purple color, and it comes with an extra plastic straw. The only downsides are that the top is not dishwasher-safe, and it does not fit into my car''s cup holder. Neither of those are a big deal, so I''m very happy with it overall.

this bottle is very attractive and the size is perfect, but try not to drop it on hard surface, because the plastic is not shatter-proof. We are already on our third bottle because the first two broke when dropped.
Eco Vessel Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Loop Cap Save 40% off
This replaced a 32oz plastic bottle for daily use. I am completely satisfied and I like that it fit''s in the drink holder in my car, my old plastic bottle did not. I also like that the cap has grooves that allow pouring without fully removing the cap, similar to an insulated thermos. Neck is compatible with a sport cap I already had. Not much else to itthe description is accurate for 36oz. I am ordering another one.

Nathan Speed 2R Auto-Cant Waist Pack with Two 8-Ounce Nutrition Flasks
I started looking for a running belt after I became fully frustrated with armbands to hold my iPhone. I had purchased the Nathan HPL #020 Hydration Vest and replaced the bladder with a CamelBak bladder as several reviews commented on bladder issues. I love the vest, but for most of my runs it''s overkill, but I became familiar with Nathan''s propulsion harness designed for minimal movement while running. So when I saw the auto-cant design on this belt my interest was peaked.I''ve had this belt for almost a month and I''ve done all of my runs since with this belt on with and without the flasks. I love this belt and almost forget I have on one. The most important thing interested people should be aware of is the sizing. I wear a 31/32 size waist, but taking heed of the single review at the time I measured my hips and found I needed to size up to the medium. Once the belt arrived and I tried it on, I was starting to worry I still had still gone too small, but after testing it out a bit I found it was fitted perfectly. The belt is suppose to fit a bit tight and it stretches, but since it fits on hips not your waist it does not interfere with your running you don''t notice it once you get use to it. Since the first review mentioned this belt is great for women, I wanted to note that I''m a male and this belt is NOT gender specific.
I am currently using the flasks to carry water, but they are called nutrition flasks and that''s what they are intended for. But they serve just fine for carrying water. The pouch is small, but the front mesh pocket really stretches and I found that my iPhone with a silicone case fits snuggly stretching the mesh over the top of my phone I don''t worry about my iPhone being damaged will using this belt. You could probably attach other items to the belt itself such as an iPhone case if you want to use the pouch for other things such as nutrition bars. The surface area of the velcro is huge allowing for size adjustment and confidence that it''ll stay on I have zero concerns regarding this fastening system. I have not used other running/racing belts so I can''t give you a comparison of one without the auto-cant feature but it does seem to do what it''s suppose to do keeping the belt comfortable on the hips while moving with you.
As for the volume of the flasks it''s not much (2 cups about 1/2 a Nalgene bottle). I saw some questions about trying to size the volume with distance, but this is the wrong way to go about this. You need to learn how your body uses water in different conditions and length of time. My longest run with this belt thus far was 12.3 miles on a gentle grade with an temp of about 50°F and moderate humidity and it was adequate. If I run this same course in +65°F on a drier day I''d want to take my hydration vest. I also hydrate well before and after any run.
You can order additional flasks as well, which can be good if you have a point along your run where you can swap out your spent ones.
I first bought a normal water bottle type belt by the brand "Ultimate" that did not stay in place and jostled around when I ran. I could cinch it really tight to my waist, but not only did I look ridiculous that way, but it was also very uncomfortable and interfered with my breathing.
The second "device" I bought was a handheld water bottle by the brand "Fuel Belt". I had read positive reviews about palm-holders/hand-held bottles and how they feel natural while running. Not quite! Let me tell you how annoying they are on your long runs, when you just want to have relaxed arms, instead of sweaty palms from holding onto the nylon fabric.
I was going to give up and just deal with the hand-held bottle when I saw a full-page ad in my Runner''s World magazine about this Nathan Speed 2R waist pack. Searching around online, most retailers were $50, but somehow Amazon was offering it for $25. I figured I''d give it a try it looked pretty good and all the reviews were positive.
I tried it out for the first time today on a 6-mile run and loved it. It did take a little getting used to in terms of how low I wanted to wear it and how tight I should pull the velcro, but by the middle of my run, everything was comfortable and in place, and I can honestly say I am done shopping for a hydration device for runs.
Some things to know: I am a 5''5" woman and normally wear size 4 bottoms. Another reviewer around my size had mentioned she bought a Medium so I did the same, and I am happy with the size selection. I wound up wearing this belt just below my hip bones and it was very comfortable and didn''t move around. It was very easy getting the water bottles out during my run, too (I wore the bottles towards the back and the pouch in front).
The pouch is NOT very useful at all I fastened my key to the clip, that''s all. My cell phone and ID did not feel secure in it, so I wore my Nike arm pouch as well.
If you are looking to carry a lot of liquid, this belt is lacking, with only two small bottles, but other than that, I think it is a fantastic item.
Buy Nathan Speed 2R Auto-Cant Waist Pack with Two 8-Ounce Nutrition Flasks Now
I just got the belt and am very pleased. Perfect for those who run for two hours or less (they have a four flask version for almost the same price). Pocket in front is great for your keys or ID card and plenty of room for 2 or 3 gel packs. Bottles are easy to reach and easy to put back and do not "jiggle." Flask has a generous fluid flow with a light squeeze. All in all, a very good hydration solution at a reasonalbe price.Only issue you may have is if you have a 36" waist (like I do). That puts you square in between a medium and a large. The medium will work, but it seems as though I am pushing the limit. So if you are a 36" waist and assume you will be losing inches than definately go for the medium.

Wore this waist pack in a trail 50K and really liked it. Pouch and water flasks don''t hold enough food and liquid for really long, unsupported runs but for just a couple hours they are great. Relatively small size of flasks mean that even filled there is not too much weight or bouncing. Amazon price was also way better than REI price. Pack seems to move least when it''s on your hips so I agree with other reviewers that you should get the size that fits your hips, not waist.Want Nathan Speed 2R Auto-Cant Waist Pack with Two 8-Ounce Nutrition Flasks Discount?
I am a 5'' 6" female and weigh 127 lbs, and have pretty much no hips, but a small was too small for me. I am returning it for a medium (especially to wear it low on my hips). Other than that, I think it will be great, and can''t wait to start using it.
Minoura BH100M Bottle Cage Holder (28-35mm) Save 32% off
Very good construction, and it can clamp down with great force. Despite that, I still had to use a little contact cement between the protective sleeve and my handlebars, to secure a full bottle in the holder. I also tipped back the assembly about a 45 degree angle, keeping the bottle''s center of gravity over the bar. It does not budge!
Use some sort of napkin, or other soft material to line the inside of the ring so that it doesn''t scratch your bike when installed. Will clamp on, but have a allen wrench available to tighten fully.
Overall, a pretty good product, well worth the price.
Chariot Child Carrier Hydration Cage
Chariot strollers have lots of pockets of various sorts, and I never lacked for a place to stash a water bottle if I wanted one. I have never even attached the Hydration Kit''s adult water bottle holder. However, the childs'' bottle is great. By keeping the water inside the stroller, the kids can drink when they want without calling for me to stop riding or jogging to hand them a bottle. The bottle is held firmly upright so it doesn''t spill, and with some practice, our three year old and four year old have no trouble retrieving the bottle and returning it to the mount afterwards.For a single bottle, the kit is too expensive. The kids'' bottle is useful though.
The North Face Recon
This is a great backpack that really fit what I was looking for. The straps are pretty comfortable, and the capacity is ok. I can fit my macbook pro, and maybe 3 2" Binders in the main compartment. The handle located at the top, between straps is strangely small and thin, I''m worried it''s going to rip. I expected a thick and padded handle, this is almost hard to hold onto. There are also some extremely unnecessary straps that will dangle maybe a foot below the bottom while wearing, I have since stuffed them into a pocket so they won''t trip me or look stupid. Other than those oddities, the backpack does its job, and I''m pleased.
