Hydro Flip Lid

Update #2: 11/27/12

The drinking hole fits a straw (make it an extra long one) perfectly and keeps it from slipping down inside the flask. Love it!

Update: 11/7/2012

I upgraded my rating of this lid after using it with the 40 oz wide mouth Hydro Flask. I love it. It works well with both hot and cold liquids. Sloshed it around in a backpack for 2 days of training and not one leak or spill. The flow is fine for both hot and cold. The lid snaps closed nicely. Highly recommended for 40oz or smaller.

I got this lid for my 64 oz Hydro Flask Growler and I would say it could use a bit of improvement:

Pros:

allows easy access to sip from your wide mouth Hydro Flask

Cons:

*You have to check very carefully after you screw the lid on to make sure it is seated correctly, otherwise it will leak.

*The flow rate could be higher (I know this is designed for hot liquids, so it''s probably a safety issue)

*No handle, loop or strap. This may not be as much of an issue for the smaller flasks, but the growler needs some sort of handle to facilitate easier carrying.

Overall I think the lid is OK, but there are some significant improvements that would make it great.

great item and works great on my water bottle just as described. tight seal and doesnt leak at all. great design.

Great little addition to my coveted Hydroflask. I finally gave in and spent the money on the Hydroflask. I opted for the 40 oz since I teach and practice Bikram Yoga. It''s perfect. Keeps the water nice and cold (or cool depending how much ice I put in). The cap makes it more convenient to sip the water.

If you''re getting the hydro flask wide mouth drinking bottle, you will want this to conveniently access the water. It is high quality (like the bottle) and I think it will last quite a while.

I have used the Kleen Kanteen bottles for many years and have used their sip lids but have always hated the rotating closure mechanism. This Hydro Flask lid is so much simpler and easier to clean. It also gives a far better liquid flow compared to the Kleen Kanteen one. The fluid will flow out almost as fast as you can drink it. This is not a leak proof lid but it seals very well, again, far better than the Kleen Kanteen lid. Overall this is a great lid unless if you need complete leak proofness. I originally starting using this brand because of the larger bottle sizes available but will probably switch over even my small bottles because of this lid.

Sunlite 28 oz Bicycle Water Bottle with Cage (Black) Save 71% off

The bottle is made of a safe plastic, but it feels really cheap. The nozzle is also pretty stiff, so you have to really tug at it sometimes. The cage is pretty thin steel, so it bends at the slightest touch. I didn''t have many problems with the bottle falling out, but the plastic tab that holds the bottle down starts wiggling around right after you start using it. It lasted about a year (I didn''t use my bike that frequently) before the thin wire cage snapped off of it''s base. It''s probably worth investing is something a little more expensive and a lot more sturdy.

just marginal is made out of a very ugly material and not much space for liquid was over priced

I wanted a small collapsible water bottle to put in my purse. The bottle itself doesn''t leak, but the cap does. I tightened it before I put it in my purse but it leaked and dampened the inside of my purse. Not much, but enough for me to decide to never put it in my purse. Now, it just sits in the kitchen cabinet.

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.

Eagle Creek Packable Daypack

I compared this to NEW Ultralight Travel Daypack / Backpack The Perfect Light Weight Daypack For Sightseeing, Hiking, Biking & Travel Super Durable & Comfortable Yet Only 6.5 oz and believe this is the better product. Its capacity is greater than stated, the fabric and construction is durable, and it folds flat and will fit in my pocket.

I owned the predecessor to this packable day pack -saw it several years ago in a well known bookstore in Portland Oregon and bought it on the spot. Since then, I''ve retired all my various messenger bags, backpacks, briefcases, etc. in favor of this extremely lightweight, packable day pack. It has held up well over about 3 years, despite nearly daily use and over-packing. Nothing has really failed -there are a few spots where friction on a sidewalk or wall wore some small holes when it hit the dirt with a full load, but its fairly good quality ripstop nylon, so the holes are small and not a concern.

I bought the new version because a disintegrating chocolate bar left inside in the heat is going to require some major cleaning. The latest version is slightly improved -the back pocket (which is slightly smaller than the old version) now has a straight across zipper. The old pocket had a U-shaped zipper that you had to meticulously close at the risk of having things drop out without notice. The main pocket now has a small rain gusset covering the zipper -looks neater although I doubt whether it makes the bag significantly more waterproof. The fabric is non-waterproofed ripstop nylon, so if you drop it in the lake, it may float for a while, but things inside are going to get wet. The shoulder straps are slightly improved and are now made of more breathable mesh.

The best part is that it weighs nearly nothing and will pack into a small zippered pocket the size of a pack of cigarettes. I personally think that it is ridiculous to spend $70 $100 bucks on a day pack that has 17 pockets, a 1 gallon water bottle pocket, and an ice axe loop just to go to the store or to work. If I''m going 15 miles from the trail head and heading for the alpine meadows, sure, I want a technical day pack or better. But for running around town, this is great.

Minor beef: I ordered this in blue, got black instead. Not worth exchanging, but be aware. Also Amazon may be displaying the wrong picture. This does not look like a duffel, but is a day pack.

Buy Eagle Creek Packable Daypack Now

For years I''ve taken a light 8-oz 12"x16"x6" Wilderness Experience pack with me on trips as a convenient day pack capable of being rolled up and stored in carry-on luggage. This size is just right for carrying an extra camera lens for my SLR, and adding in a light jacket, lunch, and a pocket umbrella. I''ve been unsuccessful in trying to replace my 30-year-old pack until recently, when I discovered the Eagle Creek Packable Daypack. It''s an exact match in size (12"x16"x6") and has a similar 6"x7" single outer pocket for knickknacks like spare SD cards and camera batteries, lens filters, and small camera accessories. What''s better, the Eagle Creek pack only weighs 6 1/2 oz, yet it''s very well made of modestly-heavy black nylon fabric with dual high-quality metal-pull Nylon-tooth zippers. I just returned from 5 weeks in India using it every day while touring temples and museums. I found my old pack (same size) also perfect for trekking in Nepal when the porters had our main luggage. So, for both light day hikes and foreign day trips it''s a great size...it also easily caries my 10" netbook computer if I want to take it on the plane or to a hotel-lobby hotspot. As an added attraction, the pack has really comfortable mesh shoulder straps...a big improvement on my old pack. Note, however, that the fabric is not waterproof...but neither was my old pack. I highly recommend it as a light travel daypack.

This is a great extra day bag. LIGHTWEIGHT was a priority.

Not good as a full time backpack, that is not what is intended.

Useful for extra stuff or day trips, not a lot of pockets, but good total room inside.

Looks good....most inexpensive day bags look like crap.

Packs into itself, lightweight.

Good price.

Eagle Creek quality.

I like this backpack and it would be perfect if it had a bottle holder on the side.

It is light weight, durable and holds a lot for a day hike.

I have another similar to it by EagleCreek with the bottle holder and didn''t notice when I ordered this one that it didn''t have it on the side.

These bags last and last and last.

I wonder if I could have one sewn on...maybe when in Asia. It''s much cheaper to go to a tailor there.

Eagle Creek, please put the bottle holder back on this backpack!

Klean Kanteen Flat Cap/Polypro

This cap is worthless. It made my water taste bad (whereas the original ''sport cap'' never did), so I removed the silicone o-ring and put the cap in the dishwasher, thinking it had some coffee residue on it or something.

After I took it out of the dishwasher, I could hear water sloshing around _inside_ of it! It appears to be completely impermeable there are no apparent holes in it. Nevertheless it has water inside of it, with no evident way to get the water out.

The ''sport cap'' that came with my Kleen Kanteen is hollowed out, like an upside-down cup there is no bottom. This low-profile cap is hollow but has a bottom it has a continuous outer surface like a fishing bobber or something.

Clearly they need to work on their quality-control. Avoid this cap like the worthless POS that it is.

Had to buy this lid to replace the one I broke. My Kanteen fell out of the refrigerator and of course landed just right to bust off the loop cap I had. This one is great and saves a little space with it''s flat top. I hand wash all my Klean Kanteen items, as instructed, so that the water does not seep into the lids. Never let them soak or you will have water trapped in the cap. We''ve had our Kanteens for 5 years now and they have saved us from buying and wasting all those plastic water bottles. Love them!

I like this a little better than the stainless/plastic one that originally came with my Klean Kanteen. Unfortunately, like the stainless/plastic cap, this cap gets some water trapped inside it when washed in a dishwasher--maybe not quite as much with this one, but I can hear it sloshing around in there when I shake the cap.

This cap is all plastic (polypropylene, which has a fairly safe reputation at this time.)

Unlike the plastic loop-top cap, this one has a a texture around the edge where you grip it to tighten or loosen it.

This is a good all purpose cap to go along with the Klean Kanteen bottles. We have one of the smaller sippy top bottles that we use for our 9 month old son when we take him out hiking but I use the flat cap to keep his bottle sealed while we''re travelling to the trail. Once we get there, I take this top off and put the sippy top on for him to use while we''re out for the day. The bottle is just tossed in with the rest of our hiking gear while we''re travelling and I''ve never had any problems with leaks at all.

Durable, easy to wash cap. I use this cap when I don''t need my sports cap.

KOR Water Aura BPA Free Water Bottle

This is dishwasher safe, holds a lot of water, and looks good on my desk. The purple is fun enough to make me happy, and the sleek design is plain enough to not embarrass me during a meeting. To be honest, all the hype about the lip-fitting curve of the opening seems like a lot of hype to me, but I''ve only ever used wide-mouthed bottles, like nalgenes--I suppose those skinny-topped SIGG ones might get annoying and cause a person to rave madly about this wider circumference -but that perk is sort of lost on me.

I''m really happy with my purchase. The few times I''ve chucked it into my purse to go to class, etc it has been leakproof. I''m drinking more water during the day, which was the whole reason I bought it. Success!

Primus Outdoor Bottle with wide mouth (33.8-Ounce) Save 21% off

I picked this bottle because I knew I''d be happy with either bottle that showed up, plastic or steel. This bottle is the wide mouth steel bottle, not the plastic one pictured. It''s a very nice bottle, with close fitting threads (indicative of good construction) for proof against leaks, the very -veryuseful twin lid, a very pleasing crinkle finish powdercoating, and Primus'' always solid reputation. It''s an awesome replacement for my melted Nalgene. The twin lid is probably my favorite feature.. it prevents the tidal wave of water that can sometimes occur with ice or snow in the bottle. My only (small) complaint is that the small lid isn''t tethered like the widemouth lid is. I may tether it with 550 cord, so I don''t lose it. If you''ve ever lost a Nalgene as a casualty of outdoor activity, this will definitely serve as a bombproof replacement! Buy it!

Spiderman Water Bottle-16 Oz Hydro Canteen

It''s a super easy and fun product for my 4 1/2 year old who loves Spiderman. Super straightforward and no frills.

I bought this water bottle for my son to bring to school because the cheap one I bought first leaked. His backpack was wet every day. We were delighted when this new one came in. It looked just like the picture on Amazon but I didn''t realize there was a straw inside. His first day using it ....... It leaked all over his bag. I will be sending it back and buying a third water bottle in hopes of keeping his bag dry!

Camelbak Eddy Accessory Bite Valves and Straws-Pack of 2

Make sure you get the correct model. If you have the Eddy bottles this should work. I ordered the wrong one that was smaller in diameter and had to return it.

Replacement straw works great. Only problem was I ordered the wrong one first. Did not realize there were different sizes. Be sure to check the style of your camelback. Hope I can return the first one.
