Not wanting to make an ER trip for a severed toddler tongue, I decided to replace the cap. And, not wanting to hunt around in a bunch of random local shops, I hopped onto Amazon to place my order (yay for free shipping that''s kinda the only thing that makes this particular online purchase worthwhile).
Switching them out was easy: Just pull the old one off (it helps to pry it up at an angle) and pop the new one on. Tada! Toddler tongues are safe, once again.The old one broke after prolonged abuse of our little one. The replacement fits perfectly. Mama and papa happy. Little one happy. What else to say? It''s just a bottle cap after all ;-)
Luckily, I had Amazon prime trial when we were ordering it, so we got free shipping (otherwise, the shipping would cost way more then the cap itself). I wish there was more color choices. At the time I was buying it, the only choices were red and soccer pattern.

Pura 0.6L Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Stainless Loop Cap

The lip is rolled over and can catch some liquid in it as you drink. If you are not aware of this and drink from the lip in this particular way, you will end up with your liquid on the exterior of the neck. This is a nuisance, but it can be overcome by not letting the fluid pool in your mouth near the lip as you drink. This is caused by the lip being rolled and not sealed against the neck (I assume because the manufacturing process would make it more difficult/expensive).
I have no issues with a metallic taste. initially, it was a bit noticeable and my wife commented on it. That taste has gone away after a few cycles in the dishwasher.
The painted version can scratch easily, so be careful. I bought only one of those as I like the stainless look and didn''t want to worry about the paint. However, the colors allow for easy identification.

Although the lifetime warranty covers leakage, this bottle leaked the first time I used it -and ruined everything in my backpack. Even with the cap screwed on as tightly as possible, it always leaks when turned sideways. The O-ring inside the stainless steel cap doesn''t create a tight enough seal.Read Best Reviews of Pura 0.6L Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Stainless Loop Cap Here
I left this with ice in it on the counter over night. it sweat so bad i thought the bottle sprung a leak.there is no way you can carry this in a pocket or backpack.
I leave it in the fridge, where it does not sweat.
if you want to carry a bottle with you, get one of the insulated ones. they do not sweat.
and, it is made in china.

Timbuk2 Swig Laptop Backpack

on Sunday, September 22, 2013
My 15" Macbook Pro fits snugly into the laptop compartment; there isn''t room for anything bigger. The side zipper is a nice option, but with the 15" computer, the zipper frequently catches on the openings for the ports. The CD slot needs to face the zipper or certain destruction of the zipper teeth will eventually occur. After all, the Macbook is aluminum, zipper is plastic; poor outcome is only a matter of time.
However, I prefer to not use the side pocket anyway since I''ll frequently need things other than the computer. And as others have mentioned, it is a scary thought to leave the side pocket zipper open and risk the computer falling out. It is a nice feature, but it is a hassle for larger notebooks
The computer compartment is well padded and will protect its contents. Of course, that is within reason; it will do fine with the bumps of life, but if you plan on wearing it on your back while you play hockey, I''m sure that won''t go so well.
The Swig comes with a a front clasp to hold the straps across your chest. A nice feature, but even nicer is the fact that you can unhook them and drop them into one of the pockets. For daily use, they seem to get into the way.
If all you want is to cart around your laptop and maybe a few daily essentials, this is the bag to get. No need to jump up to a bigger product line. College students with lots of books might want to consider something a little bigger, but for most people this is a sturdy, attractive and durable bag.
Finally, who doesn''t like a handy bottle opener? The Swig has a cutesy bottle opener on the strap. I don''t know if that''s a nod to hard studying and even harder drinking (soda, of course) students, or the reality that urban life often calls for cold one with retro metal bottle caps. I haven''t tried mine out yet, but it looks like it will deal well with any type of bottle.
If you''ve used other Timbuk2 products, you won''t be disappointed. If you''re new to the product line; yeah, they''re a bit pricy but they last forever. My messenger bag is 5 years old and still has a lot of miles in it. I on the other hand, don''t and opted for something a lot lighter and a lot less capability for lugging around garbage I never use.
Five stars. Get one, you know you want it.

I bought this bag as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend. I had purchased a timbuk2 messenger bag in the past for him. Unfortunately, because he carries a lot the strap was causing him chest and shoulder pains. Since I knew timbuk2 has amazing quality bags I went on the search for a normal back pack that still had a messenger bag look.If I had ordered this bag direct from timbuk2 I would have paid a lot more than I did on Amazon. I am thankful for this!
The bag is incredible. No matter how full it is it still feels light. It really is water proof and keeps my boyfriends electronics dry, even in crazy New England weather.
I''m jealous! I want one now!

The backpack distributes the weight very evenly however, if you are 6 feet tall or taller the (size small) backpack is too small. It is impossible to place a water bottle or anything that you need ready access to in the side compartment. Most reviewers said that they liked the fact that the backpack had a bottle opener but never used it. The reason they never used it is that one has to take the back pack off in order for it to be of any use. Defeats the purpose and makes it a silly gimmick, which admittedly, it is. If you are anywhere close to 6 foot tall steer clear of this bag. The capacity is sufficient for a laptop your charger and one book, any more and the small backpack cannot handle it. Happy shopping.Want Timbuk2 Swig Laptop Backpack Discount?
I bought this to carry my laptop and other stuff on a short (~2 mile) daily bicycle commute. One requirement that I had is that the bag be water-resistant, as it often rains during my commute, and I don''t want my laptop and other electronics getting wet. I looked up many reviews online, and tried Timbuk2''s classic messenger bag. However, I found messenger bags to be uncomfortable, since a single strap holds all the weight of the bag. I switched back to a more familiar (to me) backpack style with this bag.This bag does not have a waist strap, which was a little unusual for me, since I''m used to hiking packs. However, for a backpack meant for commuting, this is a plus. It''ll only get in the way...how many people do you see walking around town wearing the waist strap on their backpack? It does come with a removable sternum strap, to keep it in place while riding. I tried this at first, but I don''t wear it any more...the pack is very secure even without the sternum strap.
The laptop compartment is nice, and the main compartment will swallow a fair amount of gear. I regularly carry: 13" laptop with ac adapter, rain jacket, small bike repair kit (for flat tires), wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, water bottle, and my lunch. The flap that covers the main compartment (and the smaller front pocket) is waterproof, and has protected my gear during a few rain showers. The protection from the rain is better in this pack versus Timbuk2''s classic messenger (the messenger''s top flap would expose a gap that rain could get in through).
Here''s what I like:
* Weather and rain resistant
* About the right size for a daily commute
* Separate padded laptop compartment with side access (don''t forget to zip it up again, or your computer may fall out)
* Side access to front pocket
* Front pocket has organizer pockets
* Very comfortable to wear
* Place to clip a light when bicycling at night
Dislikes are all very minor:
* Velcro on laptop compartment can contact the front of the pack if you leave the strap unfastened, and can start to "fuzz up" some of the material.
* No key lanyard like on other Timbuk2 packs. I fashioned my own that fits in this pack, though.

Perfect size for little to medium hands. My only complaint is how small the neck of the bottle is. I happen to have a bottle brush that just fits, but it''s hard to find one that does. The other part is how hard the cover is for children to put back on. My daughter can and does pop the lid back on, but my son got frustrated took it off completely. Overall though, vibrant colors, clear pictures, and loved by my kids.Read Best Reviews of Crocodile Creek 13.5 oz 13.5 oz Stainless Steel Reusable Drinking Bottle Here
The offspring approves, she has the matching backpack so she was thrilled when I showed her this bottle. The size is appropriate for 4 year old hands. No leakage problems. She can open it with ease. But most importantly I can wash it with ease.Want Crocodile Creek 13.5 oz 13.5 oz Stainless Steel Reusable Drinking Bottle Discount?
I bought this for my daughter for a school water bottle since we live in Arizona. It is an adorable durable bottle with a good screw on cap. Although, the plastic cap that covers the screw on cap is plastic and does not fit the bottle well. I paid around $15 and expected the cap to fit.
