Great American Detroit Red Wings 2-Pack Rocks Glass Set

NHL Detroit Red Wings Two Piece Rocks Glass Set - Primary LogoI bought these cups for my father-in-law for Christmas. We are all big Red Wings fans and he loved these cups. They are pretty heavy which isn''t a problem for him but might be a problem for someone that doesn''t want to carry around a heavier cup.

Yakuzzi Drink Holder for Kayaks, Easy Snap-On Installation Save 22% off

Yakuzzi Drink Holder for Kayaks, Easy Snap-On Installation, OrangeI purchased these for my wife and I. There are both going back tomorrow. The previous reviewer was right. The drink holder will not stand upright in a fixed position as shown on the web page. The bottle just swings in space and is real irritating when you are paddling. The holder is too small for a one liter wide mouth bottle which is what we prefer to use in our kayaks. It''s also too short for a bicycle type water bottle.

Eh. If you are a kayaker, and you''re out for just a few hours and you want a 16oz bottle of bottled water, then this is for you. If you are in a canoe on a 5 day trip and a 20oz water container. then...not so much. It has a funky clip that slides from the side which is difficult to do with everything attached and dangling. It is so it can be used with different profile boats, I understand, but the idea of having a quick, detachable drink holder just doens''t work here. The materials and sturdiness are fine, it just didn''t work for how I needed to use it. The mesh bag is a cool "extra" for wettable items.

I''m leaving it behind my next trip.

The Yakuzzi is exactly what the promotion says. It evens holds a water bottle bigger that what it says so I was happy about that. I''ve put my standard stainless water bottle,that holds at least 20 oz,into it and it fit into the kuzzi part just fine. (The kuzzi is the same size as kuzzis that are sold at most stores for plastic water bottles and beer bottles. As far as slipping down, I think that your kayak would have to have a lip of some sort to hold it from slipping, but it works great on my boat, AND you can adjust the angle up or down depending on the bottle size that you are using simply by tightening or loosening the draw string. *My only concern is that once clipped onto the boat, it is a little more involved than just reaching for your water bottle once you decide you want a drink. You either have to remove the bottle from the Yakuzzi or unclip the kuzzi part from the boat clip or unclip the entire thing... can be done but it will take a bit. I wish it could be made with a more permanent type bottle holder rather than just a kuzzi, then you could easily slip your bottle in and out of it while on the go.

I think this product is overpriced. I also don''t understand why it''s so highly rated. I figured because it allows you to (sort of) securely hold a drink/bottle in your boat without having to drill permanent holes to attach a drink holder. I think it''s flimsy and it doesn''t hold a bottle when it''s full, and the clips aren''t a secure fit onto the rim of the kayak cockpit. It wiggles around and gets annoying, in my opinion. I don''t see myself using this on a daily basis. I think a Nalgene bottle would be easier.

On a positive note, it doesn''t come unattached from the rim, and it holds a soda better than a taller water bottle. Haven''t tried a beer bottle yet, buuuut I think that would end badly.

Pura 1.2L Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Stainless Loop Cap Save 2% off

Pura 1.2L Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Stainless Loop Cap, GreenI bought this because of it''s stainless steel cap. Why people make these stainless steel bottles with plastic caps is beyond me. I was worried that it would leak but it doesn''t! Forms a nice seal, no leaks, highly recommend!

I never actually bought much bottled water, but we would buy one now and then and then re-use and refill it from our Brita filter pitcher. I feel SO much better to be done with those plastic bottles!

Pluses:

This bottle is all stainless steel and is actually a good size, unlike so many others out there that are just too small.

The loop top makes it really easy to just hook my finger through, or an old dog leash works great!

The wider mouth makes it easy to put in ice cubes.

Minuses:

Because the top is also steel, it''s a little noisy opening and closing.

The size of the opening is really awkward for me to drink from without spilling, especially on the move.

Because it''s steel, it doesn''t keep things cool, but I made it a kind of snuggy and it''s more insulated now.

I love it!

Buy Pura 1.2L Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Stainless Loop Cap Now

After a lot of thinking and comparing, I decided to buy the pura water bottle and I couldn''t be happier. Stainless steel is much cheaper that aluminum and does not require that funky liner that eventually will wear away. Although aluminum bottles are much prettier and offer more choices, I felt for Sigg bottles, you pay more for the pictures and get less. In the end, I use a water bottle to hold and drink water, not as a fashion accessory (besides I heard most of the designs smear off so why bother). It has a lifetime warranty for leaks and dents (never had a problem so I don''t know much about their customer service or how they back it up). I have dropped and dinged my bottle and so far no leaks or dents. The paint is chipping off a little on the rim of the bottom though (probably from me putting it on hard surfaces like sidewalks) and the blue ink that says PURA and "Stainless Steel" is smearing off (Warranty doesn''t cover that). The mouth is really wide for ice cubes and the metal lid is a plus over Klean Kanteen, which you have to order separately. Yes the black part of the lid is plastic but it doesn''t touch the rim when you screw the lid on (there is a silicon like ring that seals the bottle though if you care). It was a little bigger that I thought it would be (1.2 L) and doesn''t fit in some cupholders but that''s fine and it''s really light for its size. Never had a metal taste but I did swirl some vinegar and lemon juice in it when I got it.

I''ve been using this bottle for about 3 weeks now. I like it a lot. However, it can get quite heavy when filled up with liquid, so this might discourage people from wanting to use it (feels like a 3-4 pounder). The weight isn''t an issue with me b/c I wear a book bag every where I go so I just drop it in and head out (besides, i just view it as extra excercise). Though do note that it''s entirely too big for any kind of cup holder (doesn''t fit in my car).

Also, the cap and bottle is made of steel, thus when opening and closing it will make a loud sqeaking noise each and every time.

Wide mouth makes it very easy to clean, as well as dropping ice into my drinks. Though, never freeze it b/c I read that it can cause the bottle to explode like a soda can. I got the orange 1.2L bottle and it''s a beautiful vibrant orange (way better than the pic on the screen). As some have said, there is a metalic taste to it, but after about 3 wks of use, the metalic flavor have become much more subtle. It doesn''t bother me but some might find the taste offensive. My 5 yr old nephew thinks the water tastes weird when it''s in my stainless steel bottle. You can try soaking white vinager in it overnight to see if that helps rid the metalic taste.

Last week, I accidentally dropped it and there''s now a giant dent at the base of the bottle, but it''s still completely functional. In fact, I''ll bet my bottle can take quite a beating. The reason why I picked PURA was because on PURA''s own website, they have a limited lifetime warrenty, so I highly recommend registering your bottle on their site after getting it so that when it''s rendered nonfunctional, you can get a replacement for free. Best part is that you can also recycle the old one that you no longer need.

PS: If you take good care of it, the paint won''t chip off either!! Definitely a high quality product!!!

PPS: If you''re interested in additional info, it''s a simple search for the company''s website.

UPDATE (7/16/10): My cap broke (the metal piece and the plastic piece separate). I contacted Pura thru their website, and the CEO emailed me back the next day. He was very nice and told me that he''ll send me a new top free of charge. I got a replacement cap by the end of the week. Great customer service!

I''ve had this bottle for a few weeks and am very happy with it. The interior of the cap is stainless and so far no leaks! The larger size is great.

Oakland Raiders NFL 2pc Black Ceramic Coffee Mug Set

NFL Oakland Raiders Two Piece Black Ceramic Mug Set - Primary LogoI bought these mugs as a Christmas gift for my sister and I have to say that I am completely amazed at the quality and overall size. The logo is very sturdy and detailed. They feel very good in your hand and fit about 15oz of coffee, or whatever drink you prefer. That''s about a Grande at Starbucks. I loved these so much I bought some more for my brother in law!

Great Hitch cover, the only problem was some bumped my car and cracked it in half. Had know idea it was a hard plastic, metal would have been alot better, and that is the way I had to go. Loved the Hitch cover it was awesome.

Sawyer SP181 PointOne Emergency Water Filtration Kit Save 16% off

Sawyer SP181 PointOne Emergency Water Filtration Kit with 1-Liter Light-Weight Durable PouchFor the last several months i have been using this filter in a rural Central American country with industrial-strength e-coli and amoebic cysts in the water. Does the job fast and with 10 times better filtration than EPA standards. Initially it did 5 gal. (19 L) in 17 to 20 minutes. Now it has settled in at about an hour for that 5 gal. I recommend a back-flush with the included syringe after every use. The syringe works much better if you slice out the end of the internal threads designed to hold the needle as they make for a leaky fit... takes a very fine-pointed sharp knife. Sawyer has another filter (PointZero Two) with even finer but slower filtration if viruses are a problem. I suspend the water from the ceiling and use some ordinary 1/4 inch vinyl tubing to give a bit more head pressure. I would recommend a pre-filter of some sort if your source has a lot of particulates. Very highly recommended and much better than other filters i have used.

Kit works great! All the parts went together fine. The filter works & cleans well. Lightest filter I''ve ever used & it easily packs away. Store in a ziplock before returning to your backpack. It will leak remaining water for awhile.

Do not use the squeeze bags that come with the kit. They leak immediately. I almost docked it a star for that, but there were so many warnings from other reviewers & I liked the filter (other than the squeeze bag) so well, that I just graded the filter for function & performance. I use my old platypus 1 liter bladder bag to push the water through the filter. That works great. I have recommended it to friends.

We heard that people tend to get diarrhea in Nepal so we bought this. We were able to filter tap water in Kathmandu and Pokhara for drinking.

The Sawyer filter kit gets great reviews every where. They are the best. This is one of the most versatile of all the Sawyer kits.

It screws onto a standard water or soda bottle, had two water bags included in the kit, adapt to most home water fixtures, and has the adapter and drill bit to fabricate a water bucket using any (food grade) plastic container. This allows the kit to be used on the go, in camp, or at home during an emergency. Sawyer offers several other kits, but I found this kit to be the best value.

This worked awesome to filter water for our camp. Only thing was the hose adapter split the first day but that may have been due to high pump pressure from the pump we used. Still worked very well.

Eco Vessel Tritan Sports Water Bottle with Flip Straw Top

Eco Vessel Tritan Sports Water Bottle with Flip Straw TopI 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.

Hubby was specific that he wanted a water bottle with a straw. This one works well for him and is easy to grip because of the indented shape. However, after a couple of months it has started a slight leak, as if the internal rubber stopper has come loose or developed a hole. Still nothing major.

Sigg Simply Eco Loop Top Water Bottle (1.0-Liters) Save 22% off

Sigg Simply Eco Loop Top Water BottleI bought this bottle about a month ago but wanted to use it for a while before I reviewed it.

Pros:

Just as light as a plastic bottle, if not more so

The opening fits my small mouth very well and is quiet and comfortable. (sports bottles are so noisy!)

The cap is easy to twist off

I haven''t had any problems yet with water tasting or smelling funny

Beautiful design and colors, I''ve received many compliments on it.

Cons:

It does scratch if dropped on concrete or asphalt but the scratches are not very noticeable (I''m a klutz so this has already happened!)

Makes alot of noise if knocked over during yoga class so be careful!

A little more difficult to clean than the typical water bottle.

A note about cleaning: Sigg does make a cleaning brush for this bottle that is sold on Amazon. Also a water and white vinegar solution will get rid of mineral build up. What I do is not let water sit in it for a long time, I empty it out every day, rinse and let it dry upside down on a paper towel.

I would recommend this bottle to others.

Simple bottle, typical Sigg design. Can''t go wrong with this. Nice colors. Its hard to find a bottle that a guy can carry around proudly, but I think this one is ok :)

Topeak Modula Waterbottle Cage 2 Save 22% off

Topeak Modula Waterbottle Cage 2What the other reviews don''t tell you is how this works exactly, which is what I was curious about when I bought it. Basically, it''s a standard bottle cage, except there''s a little button underneath that you can''t see from the picture. When you press the button, it releases the case so that you can expand or compact it. You can actually do this with the water bottle in the case so you''re not guessing and creating a nice snug fit. The button is flat with the bottom of the cage so it doesn''t protrude and won''t get snagged. You can also fine-tune the case after you''ve positioned it to where you want by turning the thumb screw on the front of the case (you can actually see this in the pic). That allows you to really get a perfect fit around any bottle, say if it has special grips or isn''t quite snug enough after using the button, etc. Otherwise, it works and feels like any other cage and doesn''t take up any more width. It is definitely taller that other cages, like those carbon fiber ones. So this is good for carrying non-standard bike bottles (like bringing your cocktail to the beach). If your bottle is taller than normal and you have a small bike frame, this works perfectly well with the Topeak X 15 Waterbottle Cage Adapter.

I ordered this holder because I heard it would fit a 32oz nalgene. I just received it and after stretching the holder a bit the nalgene fits nicely. I cannot comment on the durability since i have not even taken it for a ride. I am a commuter and the ability to take the nalgene out of my pack and place it onto my bike is nice. Please spare me the "why would you even want to ride a bike with a screw top bottle" Because i do thats why. I searched all over for a bottle holder that would fit my nalgene and found little. I hope this review helps those who were in my shoes.

California summers are known for being really dry so I invested in a water bottle cage to hold my 750mL Camelbak water bottle. I did a bunch of research beforehand and it seemed to be the most popular cage that came stock with high end bikes. Moreover the cage has rubber pads to prevent bottle rattle and an adjustable base to accommodate larger water bottles. I have yet to take it out for a long test ride but upon installation, I noticed a few flaws. Even with the adjustable base, the 750mL Camelbak BARELY fits with the widest setting. I''m never one for stuffing something till it bursts but I have to make an exception for this if I''m going to make it work. I''m afraid if I keep taking it out and stuffing it back in, the base will eventually break. The base does have some considerable wiggle to it which is inevitable since it is built in two parts to be adjustable. The rubber pads seemed ingenious on paper but upon real world application, it made inserting the bottle and taking it out quite hard to do. There''s a lot of resistance which can be annoying during a long bike ride. Don''t get me wrong, it serves its original purpose of eliminating rattle very well but note that there will be a trade-off. All in all, it''s lightweight and innovative for something that costs 10 bucks!

I purchased two of these, one for the road bike and one for the mountain bike. I wanted the adjustable cage because I''m always using or reusing various size bottles. The smallest setting holds those cheap, thin plastic water bottles you buy in the grocery store and the largest setting holds the standard size workout bottles that have the indentation around the top. Once installed on the mountain bike I hit the trail for a ten mile, single track trail ride. The trail consisted of everything from smooth hard packed soil to holes, rocks, ruts and roots. Rough enough to shake things apart. I ride my trails as fast as I can without loosing it and without abusing the bike. I tested the holder with three bottles, the standard sized bike bottle with the teeth pull opening, a Poweraid bottle that I reuse and the standard size, grocery store water bottle made out of the cheap thin plastic.

The cage held all three size bottles at various fluid levels over the roughest terrain. Not once did any bottle get jarred loose or come close to falling out. Even the thin plastic bottle was held firm both full and empty. I stop to drink when trail riding and the bottles slide in and out of the cage easily. I actually put a little silicone on the rubber coating of the wire cage to facilitate removal. Not that it needed it but it did make it smoother. The cage passed this test with 100% and I am content with it.

On the road bike one does not need to worry about the bottle falling out unless you get hit by another vehicle, in which case it will probably not concern you anyway. The bottles slide in and out easily and I am content with this application as well.

I recommend this cage for both road and mountain biking as it holds the various size bottles you will use and holds them well.

This bottle cage is easy to install and easy to adjust. I can fit huge insulated polar insulated bottles without problem as well as 12 ounce store bottled water. Adjusting is very straight-forward. I like to ride the trails on my mountain bike and haven''t had a bottle pop out of this cage yet.
