Gaiam 750ml Aluminum Water Bottle Save 32% off

Today I found it in a puddle of water! The thing rusted trough from the inside! Seriously? A water bottle that can''t hold water? I am glad I did not ingest any of that!
Also from the gaiam website "If your bottle is scratched or dented, there''s a possibility the paint may crack or flake but this will not affect the functionality of the water bottle." but if you let it sit on your desk with water in it, it will leak?This is the worst water bottle ever made. After owning this bottle for only one week the paint of the tree design started to get sticky and rub off onto everything. Also, the color of the entire bottle changed to an ugly green. The bottle also dented way too easily.
I had tried to contact the Gaiam company and they never responded. The ONLY good thing about this bottle is that I was able to put it in the recycle bin instead of the garbage bin.
If you''re searching for a water bottle... keep searching because this one sucks!
Buy Gaiam 750ml Aluminum Water Bottle Now
I purchased three of these in two different colors -the green Tree of Life and a beautiful royal blue. Two were gifts, so I don''t know how they held up. Mine works just fine no problem with the loop cap. I like that, and have had no problem reattaching the cap. The finish, however, is a bit of a problem. I somehow scratched it before I ever used it! Being aluminum, it is somewhat subject to dents, which I have also experienced. I bumped the bottle (in a carry bag) on the door on the way out -big dent, and ugly -marred the paint horribly.As an alternative to plastic, I love the idea of reusable aluminum -these are very attractive initially -but not sturdy enough for me to reorder.Unfortunately, I have to agree with the review which commented on the delicacy of these bottles. They are easily scratched and dented and I''ve known them to puncture less than six months after purchase... note that this is not with heavy use, but simply carting water back and forth to an indoor gym. I would avoid making this purchase again, no matter how tempted I am by the pretty designs.Hi I bought a similar Gaiam water bottle (also green but I believe it had peace signs on it not a tree) and was thrilled at the price from what I thought was a reputable brand. After a few months the paint began to chip and the green got ALL OVER everything in my (expensive) Longchamps and other bags.It still will not come off. I was furious. Not to mention that there is virtually no insulation with these bottles. PLEASE save yourself the trouble and DO NOT BUY a Gaiam water bottle!! At least not in green! I learned my lesson and will stick with the more expensive brands from now on.

These work great. You do have to apply a bit a pressure to get them to snap on, but it''s worth it. Instead of $6.99 per bottle I''m paying just over $2.00 to refill it.Read Best Reviews of Premium Non-spill Bottle Caps (Quantity of 25) Here

The product itself (the Grip ''n'' Gulp) is wonderful. I''m buying a new replacement valve now, and wanted to compare prices between Nalgene''s site and Amazon. Granted, this is being sold through a third party, but this price is ridiculous.I have a Grip n Gulp cup for my two year old son and I love it. These valves do a pretty good job of keeping the cup spillproof. However, a few times my son has dropped his cup and the valves come dislodged and the cup leaks. My major complaint is the price for these replacement valves. For this price you can practically buy two new cups! Your older ones may not be spillproof anymore if you need a new valve but they can just be used when your child is more careful about where he places his cup. I would not buy these.

While I love the Nalgene Grip-N-Gulp bottles, this is ONLY two replacement valves for those said bottles. The picture, in combination with being intentionally overpriced to make you think you''re buying the bottles, is misleading**********Update from my original post*********** First, they seem to have updated the picture, so it is now no longer misleading. Second, I should have said from the start that I own six of these cups (for my kids) and I love them! My only frustration was in the picture (which has since been corrected), and the pricing (which after the outrageous shipping cost is about the same as anywhere else).

I love the design of these cups for my daughter. Great size and durable. However, Amazon''s pricing is too high. I can purchase these on the Nalgene site for cheaper, even when I factor in the shipping cost. And Nalgene offered free shipping for orders over $10, so I just bought another cup and a set of replacement valves, and still came out ahead.We''ve had excellent luck with the function and durability of our Nalgene Grip & Gulp bottles and it''s nice to have high-quality replacement valves so the bottles won''t leak everywhere.Geigerrig G1 1200 Hydration Pack Save 9% off

The pack is very sturdy and took all my survival gear and clothing for the weekend. Its volume and compression are easily regulated by multiple straps on the side and on the back of it. I strapped clothing layers that I wanted readily accessible within the elastic straps on the back (one thing that the 1200 has but the other Rigs don''t have I believe). The cargo volume is huge! This pack can carry a lot more stuff than it seems!
The shoulder straps are easy on the shoulders/traps and don''t dig in hard. They are easily adjusted. So are the chest and hip straps. I added some carabiners on the back of the pack to carry extra stuff like my Vibrams and my Glo Toob lithium as a night time beacon.
The hydration engine is simply awesome and really easy to use. First, the bladder is 3L. I usually fill my Camelbak with 2/3 water and 1/3 ice so I did the same here. No problem. It fits nicely into the bladder compartment and there is even an elastic compartment to put it in in case you want to reduce bladder-swinging. The clip-on valves are easy and intuitive to use. The water valve may leak a few drops during plugging operations but that is normal. Once full and in place the bladder just needs a few pumps from the hand-pump and voila: pressurized water flow! So easy to drink I drank way too much. Really useful too when you need to wash the blood of splattered mosquitoes off your arms! The bladder is also really easy to wash: just reach for the bottom and pull it inside out. It is sturdy, tough, and won''t rip. Wash it with running water and mild soap, rinse, then dry it with paper towels while you''re at it. Done. No need to hang dry.
During the 10 mile hike I decided to run for a quick mile with a full pack to see how it would handle. For a 1200 cu in, the pack balanced nicely and I did not feel any discomfort or anything that made me want to stop. I am confident that I could run longer distances with it, with less load in the pack.
Geigerrig is putting out quality products and I am very impressed with this 1200 pack. I am looking forward to any new lines of products they will release.Let me start off by saying it is sad a big company like camelbak never thought of this but great the little guys could. I ordered this product after my camelbak recently burst a bladder. The idea of not feeling like I needed to suck a golf ball through a garden hose was nice as well as being able to share a bit of hydration with my pooch. I was very pleased with the product. The pack is sturdy with tons of straps to shrink it down when not full and great if you are on a motorcycle with it. The pump works perfectly and puts out water just right not slow and not to high of a volume. After hours spent trying to clean and dry my camelbak I was so happy i can turn this inside out wash it and leave it to dry. No extra brushes, dryers, hangers etc... It even says its top rack dishwasher safe (I dont see a need to risk this since my dishwasher regularly destroys plastic wear).
On top of all of this I was a little concerned about putting anything other than water in the pack since it has a valve and pumps and such. On this note I visited the website for Geigerrig and looked for a customer support email. I found the page but was a little off put by the fact the emails listed were the CEO, COO and production manager. I figured "oh this isnt going to work" but emailed the CEO on a Saturday evening anyway. Sunday morning I see an email from the CEO answering my question and letting me know "go ahead and put sports drinks in, just wash it well afterwards"... Seriously, the CEO emailed me on a Sunday morning, with a good answer and a thank you for purchasing their product.
I have written quite a few reviews on amazon when I am impressed by a product, customer service or not satisfied. I am so pleasantly surprised by every aspact of this product and company I cant say enough. Buy this or one of their other packs you will be very pleased.
Buy Geigerrig G1 1200 Hydration Pack Now
I am a Geigerrig man from now on. As I have been made aware, this pack is getting rave reviews in such outdoor sites such as Backpacker.com by authors and users alike as well as garner awards like 3M''s In-New-vation award for 2011. You might not think that means anything, but you''ll know what''s so cool about it as soon as I let you borrow mine. Haha.The quality of the pack is put together with such excellent craftsmanship, I see no flaw. It carries good load (1200 cu. in. is giant for a hydration pack), with really good compression on the both sides and both for main compartment and the smaller front pocket so you''re able to really squeeze your stuff in place. It''s very solid and stable on your back when packed right, which I''m sure you got a handle on.
Has great cushioning on the back and breathes real well. The the pressurized hydration bladder works perfectly, as the product description states; NEVER SUCK AGAIN. You won''t appreciate that until you''re actually drinking from it, you can even do things like wash away dirt from any part of your body. Spraying also means you can share your drink without fear of cooties. The bite valve is the most comfortable I''ve felt yet. I like the 45 degree angle to it. And that''s not even all, you can even add an inline filter (sold separately for something like 20-30 bucks, through their site)that enables you pull water straight up from streams and remove 99% of giarda and other contaminants. COME ON with the COME ON!!!!
For me that''s what really sold it, a hydration pack that can actually save you from a dire situation or stress. Man.. that''s going far and beyond for ANY hydration backpacks.
When you''re out trekking a trail or camping where you''re out on your own, every little useful feature you can pack with you is GREATLY appreciated! It can expand big enough to carry gear or to day hike, or you can keep it compact enough to ride around a bike with.. either way, it''s just as comfortable. There''s just something badass about this backpack. It''s like an action on the go grab backpack... if that makes any sense.
EDIT: The support you get with this product is unseen in other companies. They totally have heart and believe in their products. That''s nice to see nowadays! I contacted people responsible for this pack, and they are very nice and generous!
It''s important to note that they have lifetime warranty backing their bags and bladders. 2 years on the bags themselves and lifetime on the bladder. At any event of leakage problems, they got your back. This is great considering the engine retails about 50 bucks, and don''t even think about loading this pack with a different bladder, you''d do yourself a disservice.
If you''re ever in a market for a good hydration pack or looking to replace one, please consider the GEIGERRIG name! You won''t regret it.I was skeptical at first but after a few months with it and taking it skiing a couple of times i was sold. The quality of the bag is really nice and there is no funny smell or taste from the reservoir. You can pretty much take everything apart to clean. It is on the otherhand quite pricey. I got it for half off here when it was on sale, so wait for a deal then jump on it, you wont be sorry.I was looking for a good day pack to take on my adventures, after some extensive looking I stumbled upon the Geigerrig. Read the reviews and decided to take the leap, and what a great leap it was, awesome pack, plenty of room (1-2 days worth of stuff) but what really made me fall in love was the hydration system inside. After you have been climbing mountains and scolding rocks all day, the last thing you would want to do is fight for water thru one of those tubes, I have a camelback, (maybe mine was defective) but it was almost like sucking jello thru a straw, but the Geigerrig solved that problem with the compression system. I was a little concerned due to the fact that it requires pumping, and i thought well when I''m down to the last little bit of water I''ll have to pump this thing for an hour to build up the compression, but to my surprise there are 2 sacks, one for the water and one for the compression so it requires approximately the same amount of pressure no matter if it is full or nearly empty. Well played Geigerrig... well played.

CamelBak Tube Trap

*NOTE: this tube trap, and all others that I have seen, are designed for 3/4 inch straps only! If you have a mil-spec camelbak such as mine check the width of the straps that you want to use the tube trap on because chances are they are not 3/4 inch but instead 1 inch, as I found out the hard way.I have the Mini Mule, the one for kids, and this clip fits and works great. I believe the Camelbak bags SHOULD all come with this and the bite piece cover. The clip holds strongly but is easy to put on the strap and easy to put your tube in and out of.
