NFL Houston Texans Trailer Hitch Cover Save 17% off

NFL Houston Texans Trailer Hitch CoverThis hitch cover is made of plastic and isn''t very heavy but for the price I paid it will work for me. The steel ones were too expensive and I didn''t want to spend that much. I think this one will probably hold up very well though. I haven''t used it yet so may have a different opinion later.

It is made of plastic (wish it were metal), and more importantly, the Texans lost 3 out of 4 after I put this on my vehicle.

Vapur 0.5 Litres Anti-Bottle

Vapur 0.5 Litres Anti-BottleWhile I agree with a lot of the complaints posted here about this bottle, I also feel that Vapur serves a different purpose. If I wanted a stiffer bottle that didn''t perspire, then I would choose one of the other hundreds of products that already serve that purpose. Those containers are also reusable and relatively good for the environment, but they are also more expensive, less flexible, and fail in other ways that Vapur doesn''t. I see this product as a specialty container that works well when stiffer bottles don''t. If you are taking it to work in a spacious car with a cup holder, then maybe this isn''t the best item, but if you are flying a lot or want a container for a packed diaper bag, it might be a better fit.

I bought this bottle for international flights. Basically, I thought it would fit better in the seat back pocket, and I could fold it up and then refill it after going through security. And for that it works well.

Also just a few general comments:

(1) If you lose the sports cap, you can also buy a pack of 4 regular screw-on caps. You probably won''t lose those as much.

(2) Yes, the opening is rather small, but a lot of reusable containers suffer from this same problem. Sigg Bottles, SodaStream bottles, and Kor''s hydration vessels, for example, also have this issue. It is common with many reusable bottles.

(3) Perspiration can happen to any uninsulated vessel. Cold, heat, and humidity interact and cause sweating, and a regular plastic water bottle, soda can, car windshield, cold pack, etc. will all sweat under the right circumstances.

If you want to be satisfied with this product, a buyer needs to be realistic about how they will likely use it and the purpose it will serve. Don''t expect it to be the best of every bottle that ever existed: just use it where it is best used and consider how it works better than other bottles under the same circumstances.

I bought one Vapur for school, because at the end of the day I hate lugging a big empty reusable bottle back home. The Vapur bottle was just about perfect. My only complaint is that can be a little difficult to hold until you get used to it. Now I hold it near the cap, instead of in the middle like I''d hold a rigid bottle.

I am buying four more to have in all of my purses. I find the size to be just about right for an eight-hour day at school; I drink other things there as well so it''s not like the Vapur is my only source of liquid. Plus the Vapur is easy to refill from a faucet or water fountain so it''s not like I have to carry all the water I need with me when I leave home in the morning.

About washing them I only drink water from mine, so I''ve never had to wash the bottle. I rinse the cap off now and then.

I''m not sure why others are so obsessed with the clear plastic cap that goes over the spout -I never carry that with me. When the spout is down, it''s not going to come up unless you intentionally pull it up.

One of the reviewers complained about condensation, but ANY bottle that doesn''t have insulation will do that if your climate is humid. I haven''t had a problem with undue condensations.

This is a functional product and is great for those urban travelers among us, who dislike carrying too much bulk (seriously, my purse is operating at maximum cram), but also who have access to refill stations (water fountains, washrooms, home, office, gym, etc.). From this perspective, the small size makes perfect sense and because of its flexible body, it can even squish under a low tap and catch something.

My complaint is that it doesn''t last. Just 5 months of daily use and it cracked a leak where the bottom folds. This happened rather suddenly, so I was able to remove the bottle and dump the water quickly, before it soaked my desk. Maybe the bottom should be a silicone or rubbery material instead? In the mean time I''m back to my old Nalgene. This is probably also a recommendation against taking in on long trips, or for use in extreme temperatures.

As of this writing, there are 16 other 1-star or 2-star reviews clearly indicating that this is a fake, knock-off originating from China. Upon receipt, it becomes clear that in terms of both aesthetics and craftsmanship, this is a shoddy and second-rate version of the genuine Vapur bottle.

Do as I will now: Purchase ONLY Vapur Bottles in stock by Amazon Prime and (more importantly) sold by Vapur themselves.

Want Vapur 0.5 Litres Anti-Bottle Discount?

I purchased these in several colors. Three of the items are genuine, however, the orange bottle that I purchased was clearly marked as "Made in China." Genuine Vapur bottles are all made in the USA. Disappointed with the purchase, but I''ll be keeping it because it''s a gift and I don''t have time to exchange or re-purchase.

FuelBelt TrailRunner Fuel Belt Save 30% off

FuelBelt Trail Runner 4 Bottle Belt, BlackI don''t run trails, but of all different hydration belts I tried this wins hands-down. I really like that it is adjustable and one-size-fits-all. Another feature I really appreciate is the elastic bands that support the bottles in their pockets. Many other belts have a problem of bottles falling out, but in this one they stay put. The belt has two zipped pockets and two velcro pockets and sometimes I pack them to the brim when I go on long runs. Things that fit in there at once included cell phone, car keys, 4-5 energy jells, hand wipes and a couple of sheets of paper towels. (And maybe a couple more small items that I cannot remember now). The belt is well-made, durable and all the features are placed conveniently. I''ve been very happy with it and highly recommend it, especially if you are going to do long runs and need to carry more supplies with you.

This was exactly what I wanted until I tried it on. The two bottles on the sides were located such that as my arms swung while walking/jogging, the rubbed against the bottles that just wouldn''t work for me. I did like the 2 pockets rather than the one large pocket, but this would have been better if the pockets were adjustable so they could have been slid a bit closer to the body''s midline and away from my arm swing.

After reading the reviews, I decided on this belt because it was adjustable (so I could share it with relatives with different waist sizes), and had four pockets. I''m a runner who is training for a marathon. As I started getting into higher mileage, I needed to hydrate more frequently, which meant I had to keep returning to my house every few miles to hydrate. I bought this belt so I could stay out for longer periods of time without returning home. So far I used to belt on a 10 mile run and it worked great. I was able to keep my usual pace, but had to adapt a little to having this thing on my waist. I tried wearing it low on my hips, but it rode up so I retightened it and actually preferred where it was. It did bounce from time to time, but it never was a problem. The bottles stayed out of the way of my arms and didn''t leak at all. Getting the bottles in and out does take two hands, but, again, with some practice this wasn''t a problem. Same with the pockets...they are basically behind you so it takes a minute to get them open, but with practice this won''t be an issue. All of these "issues" are erased by having enough water with me to last through long runs without turning around. The pockets hold everything I need, including two clif bars, my cell phone and some GU packs. I look forward to using this and I already see it as an invaluable tool.

Update (10/2/11): One year later and I couldn''t run without this. I''m only up to 16 miles, but it''s great to have three bottles of gatorade, one with water and pockets for shot bloks, cough drops and a clif bar (sometimes two). I always use them in races too so I can have MY flavor of gatorade. This was a great purchase for me.

This is a great running belt! I was concerned it would not stay on my waist but it does! I am a size 2 and it never slips down or feels like it''s going to fall off. Also when all the bottles are filled with water it is not heavy. The pockets are big enough for chap stick, keys, ipodbut not big enough for an IPHONE. So if you have an iphone it''s not gonna fit. Other than that negative I would highly recommend this belt!

Want FuelBelt TrailRunner Fuel Belt Discount?

Overall the belt works pretty well. The bottles are 1 oz larger than the bottles on my previous belt and fit better. The one issue I have is that the belt constantly slides around my waist and I have to readjust it a lot. I do like how you can tighten the belt more than just by using the velcro straps as in previous models. This may be due to only using 2 of the 4 bottles right now. The pockets work well for my mp3 player and other small items.

Sawyer Complete Dual Bag Water Treatment System

Sawyer Complete 4-Liter Dual Bag Water Treatment SystemI bought 2 sawyer water filters. The first one was the kit for backpacking. The second was the emergency 5 gallon bucket kit. The more expensive backpacking kit worked great for the first season. Used it 4 trips with no issues. The following summer I took it out expecting the same performance but much to my surprise we got no water to pass through the filter. To be clear, I followed all of the instructions. I would backflush the filter when we returned from each trip and never let the filter freeze.

Since we planned a 2 night trip we decided to cut it short to one night because we didn''t want to have to boil all our water for the next 3 days. I tell you drinking hot water on a hot day really isn''t refreshing when you are thirsty.

I have not used the emergency filter yet. It looks the same as the backpacking filter other than different fittings on the end of the filter. I will/can not trust sawyer to be my only filter source. It now has 2 other backups, one chemical and the other a pump filter. Before my failure I felt a gallon of bleach was good back-up, now I realize how important it is to be able to have clean drinking water and sawyer is not reliable in my opinion.

I emailed sawyer when we returned from our trip after the failure and all sawyer would tell me was to soak it in vinegar to clean out possible calcium deposits. This did not work and from then on they would not respond to me after sending at least 5 more emails.

When it works it works great, but if it fails you could lose up to $125.00 as I did. Just want others to be aware is all. I understand products fail, but customer service should never fail.

I have only had the chance to use this on one backcountry trip. 5 days with 4 people. Never ran out of water and was super simple to use. Couple of things that seem to maximize the experience: Try to use the cleanest water possible to minimize backflushing. Hang the bags with maximum vertical difference possible between them, this gives the best pressure on filter. Don''t hang in the sun so your water stays cool.

Other than those tips just enjoy clean fresh water!

I have put this system through the trenches, and it keeps holding up.

I keep the clean bag inside of laptop bag and use it as type of hydration system for hiking.

It is great for any type of water purification, I use it on city water, and well water.

When it gets slow I just reverse the filter push some water through to backflush it and then set it up normal.

The best thing is you just take the dirty bag down to the creek, dunk the whole bag into the water it fills up in seconds pull it out, cap it, throw it in your bag or just carry it back to the camp site and hang it up.

You want to make sure you don''t let the filter get frozen or really hot tho. I usually keep it in my bag that I take around with me everywhere vs leaving it in the car.

The only real downside is that it is not very compact, even empty, the bags, filter, hozes take up a little space, but for something up to 4 liters and the reversable filter with no pumping I am willing to take up some space.

Sigg Big Kids Water Bottle (0.6-Liters) Save 14% off

Sigg Big Kids Water BottleI have to tell you that my review will be little biased because I like SIGG product. Nothing is out of ordinary, but I have to tell you that I do not like the cap that it came with. it is hard to operate, bulky. would recommend regular traditional bottle cap.

I have SIGG bottles with the regular, screw off caps. This sports cap needs to come with instructions. I learned how to use it after leaking water everywhere. Are we supposed to automatically know how to use this cap? I don''t think so!

Coleman 5712A756 Insulated Can Holder

Coleman 5712A756 Insulated Can Holder, colors may varyI have used this can holder for years and I wouldn''t live without it! I am a teacher who takes a can of soda out of the fridge at home at 7am and sips on it until lunch. When I (easily) remove the can at noon, it is still noticibly cool. Plus, this durable product never wears out. My current holder has been used daily for at least four years with no visible wear. I am just ready for a new color!

Many years ago, I purchased 2 Coleman Can Holders. I still have one of them. I gave the other one away (damn it!)

Overall, they look the same size & shape (with the Coleman lantern logo) as the ones mentioned here. However, they had a non-shiney, non-slippery texture which I prefer much more than the ones being sold here.

Since it appears that they no longer make the "textured" kind, IMHO these are better than any other "koozie" products on the market. I have small hands so the big foam "koozies" are harder to handle. The can is easier to remove from these & they fit better in the drink holders in the car.

Although these may cost a bit more that other types of can holders, they are definitely worth it.

I just wish that we could choose the colors we want.

Want Coleman 5712A756 Insulated Can Holder Discount?

How hard can it be to make a can holder? It must be pretty hard since I have thrown-out so many. The biggest drawback for me when using a can holder is not being able to remove the can. This Coleman design is the best I have seen for staying in place during use and still being able to remove it afterwards. I cannot attest if it keeps beverages cold or not simply because I drink too fast, but when I use the Coleman holder, I don''t have to handle a cold can or feel the condensation that develops around it. I also like the fact that the material is durable and washable.
