Liquid Solution Wave 16-Ounce Stainless Steel Vacuum bottle
I got one of these to review from Liquid Solutions.Here are my thoughts:
First Glance: The color looks really cool, mine is a high tech alloy blue.
Quality, the finish is really smooth and it looks like it will last.
It is a true vacuum bottle so heat/cold retention should be really good, they have a 34 oz. bottle that is designed where heat/cold retention is critical, Liquid Solutions Classic 34oz Vacuum Bottle
The top is a simple push button on/off easy to pour, filled it up with coffee and turned it upside down with no leakage.
It says 16 oz. but it can a decent amount of coffee.
GREAT PRODUCT
Now, the leak is SPECIFICALLY the cap poor design. When you push the white spot, you can indeed pour your "chosen refreshment". Then click the white ring to close it again. Now turn it upside down. Refreshment everywhere. Now, I did specify I use for milk. Now add that the cap can''t be disassembled to clean, so after 2 weeks (and 3 dishwasher runs with the cap open) it still smells like milk. I would have given it a MUCH better rating with a simple screw on top like what the Nissan thermos 32 oz uses, or the "good old glass thermos" from the 80''s and 90''s.
Oh, IF you chip the paint, it peels off easily from then on. Not really a bad thing, just an observation. If this had a better cap, I probably would have ordered another, just so I can give one a break. As it is, I will wait the few weeks max that I expect it to break in, and then buy a different one. I would NOT buy again unless they change the cap. My 2 cents.

It dripped all over me! I tried rescrewing it and it dripped all over me again, right from the side, not the spout. Inferior product. Too expensive for something that doesn''t work properly. I got my money back and bought an OGGI Corportation stainless steel sport bottle at Sears for $5 instead.Read Best Reviews of Liquid Solution Wave 16-Ounce Stainless Steel Vacuum bottle Here
Nature2 W29300 Spa Test Strips (50 Count)
I have tested Alkazone Ph Test Strips for Water, Micro Essential Lab 9800 pHydrion pH Range: 0.0 To 14.0, 100 pH (Strips/Vial, Plastic pH Test Strips), and Nature2''s Spa Test Strips. While the Alkazone strips are an improvement over the Micro Essential Lab 9800 pHydrion (pHydrion) strips (which don''t work at all), the colors are not as vivid as they appear on the comparison sample on the container. In addition, a solution I knew to be a pH of 9 tested as a 7 using the Alkazone strips. In fact, plain Fiji bottled water tested at a 7 and the pH reading on the Alkazone strips appeared unchanged even after adding alkalizing drops and/or baking soda both of which should have brought the pH above 9.With the pHydrion strips, plain Fiji bottled water tested between a 3-4 pH while the Fiji bottle claims it is a 7.8 pH. Also, the color of the pHydrion strips does not change consistently throughout the strip. In fact, anything under a pH of 8 will only change the edges of the litmus paper such that the edges will be green while the center remains peach/orange/yellow.
The Nature2''s Spa Test Strips appear to work the best for testing water. They appear to be relatively accurate; unfortunately, these strips don''t test pH above an 8.

Had run out and these helped me get the spa water back in balance. They work fast, were a little cheaper than the ones and home depot and arrived fast.Read Best Reviews of Nature2 W29300 Spa Test Strips (50 Count) Here
I ordered two containers (50 strips per container) of Nature2 test strips and used a few from one container. They were useless, registering nothing. Luckily, I had enough left from the container I had been using, so that I could do an effectiveness comparison and also test the hot tub''s water chemistry.When I took a close look at the new strips, I saw that the pads on them were faded to the point of barely having any color at all. So, I stopped using the container that I had opened and did not open the second container. Then I did what I should have done first: Bought local (and spent less money).
Amazon is great for books and good for a lot of other things, but I''m done with the site for hot tub materials.

Strips work quickly and are accurate.Good price and nice amount.
Have saved me from having hair change colors
or eyes set on fire, so far not even a slight
tingling of the eye has happened.
It''s so great just dipping a little strip in
and finding out everything is a-ok. Will be
keeping these things in stock for the foreseeable
future.
Manduka 25 oz Stainless Steel Water Bottle (BPA Free) Save 9% off
I would have preferred a slightly larger capacity but overall this is an excellent bottle. It looks great, has a soft rubber pad on the base so it''s quiet when you put it down on a hard floor (nice not to disturb everyone else in a quiet yoga studio) and it has a huge mouth making filling easy. It''s stylish and is excellent quality. I''ve been nothing less than very satisfied with any Manduka products I''ve ordered.

This water bottle is great size for yoga practices and other activities. I love the color and design of the bottle.Read Best Reviews of Manduka 25 oz Stainless Steel Water Bottle (BPA Free) Here
I had other stainless steel water bottles but for my still very new yoga practice I needed something that didn''t require me to take a cap off to have a drink or leave me worrying that I''d knock over a capless bottle and get water everywhere. This is a beautifully made product that does that and more.Note: the cap on the bottle I got is different from the one pictured. Mine is like the one on the Manduka website. I don''t know if I would have preferred the one pictured or not but I''m very happy with the one I got. I''m going to try to post some pictures.
What I like:
Practical pluses include 1.it has a curved body that gives me several very comfortable hand holds 2. I find the mouthpiece easy to open and close 3. the cap includes a place to carry the bottle 4. I love the surface on the bottom that keeps the metal from making noise on the wooden floor and 5. it is very difficult to spill water-with the mouthpiece in the open position I have to shake hard to get any water at all to come out and even then it''s just a few drops. Less practical pluses include that it''s just so darn pretty :)
Not so crazy about:
Not a lot to say here so far except that it is a bit harder to get water through the smallish straw than I''d like. And that I''m not crazy about exposed mouthpieces and this one is where you would hold it to carry it by the cap. One reason I made this purchase is the old cap had a cover over the mouthpiece.
So far (after a day of testing it out and drinking from it) I''m very happy with this water bottle. It was clearly very thoughtfully designed and looks like it will be my favorite water bottle. If that changes I''ll come back and update.

Maxpedition 12-Inch X 5-Inch Bottle Holder Save 11% off
I bought this for packing up my Jetboil Sol and Meal kit tools. It works perfect for the size of my jetboil and allows me to put an extra fuel can in under or above the jetboil. Everything fits perfect and really protects my jetboil. I suppose it isn''t what Maxpedition had intended it to be used for but I am still pretty excited it all works together so well. 5 stars, High 5

You can carry it any way possible. It comes with a strap and D rings and mollys so you can strap it to a pack. Built really to strap to a maxpedition pack.

It really makes a great edc with the strap and it looks like you are carrying a thermos.

I have a taller/larger water bottle than most because its one of the taller hydro flasks. it keeps my beverages nice and cold or nice and hot. So I bought the 12" bottle holder for my Maxpedition backpack. The holder seems huge and is. That 12" is the inside dimension not the exterior, be aware of this. The unit its self is bigger because the bag seems to be somewhat insulated. It should keep a regular water bottle from heating up due to the outside temps. The drain hole will be great for condensation.I might eventually get the smaller bottle holder they also sell for my regular water bottles.
either way I really like the quality of the item. I know I won''t be wondering where my bottle has wandered off to on my next hike.
Want Maxpedition 12-Inch X 5-Inch Bottle Holder Discount?
The 12 X 5 bottle holder is very versatile. It can fit my 40 oz stainless steel Thermos for going back and forth to work. For hiking it will hold my Guyot 32 oz Backpacker nested in my GSI Bottle Cup and it will still hold my MSR Pocket Rocket and the small fuel (113 gr) canister. Then in the front pouch I can put some utensils, soup packet, hot chocolate, instant coffee. All in one neat package. It is a bit pricey but worth it in my opinion, the workmanship is great and the materials are bomb proof. Excellent product.Save 11% off
Nathan 22-Ounce Hydration Bottle with Clipless Cap
I own numerous Nathan products and love the design of the carriers that accompany these bottles. I also love the soft rubber mouth piece on these caps which makes taking a drink on the run very easy. My only complaint is that after a little over a year, both of my bottles like this leak. I have NEVER washed them in the dish washer to cause warping but the rim of the bottle itself has collapsed a bit in a few spots which does cause a little spillage while running. It doesn''t last long because once the bottle contents gets low, there is less to spill but in the beginning of a long trek, one might expect to get a little splash here and there. Overall, a great product I just wish the bottle itself had plastic a little more ''stiff''.
The top drink spout is easy to open with a hand or teeth on the run and is soft enough not to hurt your teeth while drinking on the run. It also needs care in cleaning.
I think my bottles range from 2 to 5 years old, I use them 3-5 times/week, and other than the one dishwasher mishap, none have leaked or broke.

Platypus Shut-Off Valve
If you smartly purchased the most excellent Platypus Insulator with Big-Zip, you''ll notice it doesn''t come with a shut-off Valve; this will fit the bill and works great. However, if you purchase the Big-Zip bladder without the insulator kit, it comes with the shut-off. Also, you can buy the Big-Zip Tube Kit and it will come with a shut-off valve which may be a better value if you want to make a long hose attachment with a couple quick-disconnects for car travel.Warning, don''t try to force a tube off of this if cold, it seals very well and will break (from experience). Just run hot water over the tube/valve and it will come off with a bit of elbow grease.
A prepared person will always carry items to repair hydration system so carry extra valves/tubes/quick-disconnects etc.
Oh, and if you''ve never used Platypus; the bladders/tubes/valves have a great clean taste!
The smooth end slips onto the bite valve while the grooved end fits into the water hose. If you have trouble fitting the valve onto the hose, run some hot water over the last two inches of the hose, dry it off, then gradually insert the valve. You may need to run hot water over the hose several times before you get the valve all the way on. Get it seated snugly so there is no gap left to collect dirt, debris and bacteria.
For the price of a platypus bladder, this on/off valve should be included in the setup (some of the platypus competitors include it at no extra cost).

For quite some time, I have had the problem with my bite valve leaking while my pack is in the trunk. I have tried to keep the hose secure on top of the pack, but things get moved, or I''m in a hurry and end up losing half of my water into the car. With this valve, I don''t have that problem anymore!Read Best Reviews of Platypus Shut-Off Valve Here

Blackburn Comp Bottle Bicycle Cage
I bough this to go on a custom built and designed commuter bike. It certainly does the trick, but the finish looks like a cheap powder coat rather than the brushed anodized look that I was going for. Can''t really argue for the price and really it''s meant to hold a water bottle. If you''re looking for something to style a bike with pony up and get the stainless version. Otherwise, this does its job.
The first issue I encountered with them had less to do with the cages (though certainly an issue they could have prevented with slightly different dimensions) and more to do with the bike itself, a Redline Monocog 29er. With both cages installed, the bottles were allowed to rub up against one another, clanging around during ridding. I promptly uninstalled one cage.
The second issue I had is with whatever the coating is on these cages. After my first short outing I began to notice black marring on the formerly pristinely yellow bottle I was using. It has proven to be difficult to remove.
The third issue is that is simply does not hold a new bottle I purchased for it well at all. A 27oz Klean Kanteen has considerable wiggle side to side due to it''s rounded base and the lack of bracing these cages offer on the sides of the bottle.
The forth and final issue, and why I will ultimately be replacing these cages, is that they are simply too flimsy. After less than 25 miles on the bike, I began to notice that the bottle (a smaller... 20 oz? bottle) was rattling around considerably more than it had before. As it turns out, the allow these cages are made out of is weak enough that through casual riding, largely road in it''s nature, the weight of the full bottle was enough to slowly bend these cages out of shape.
