MLB Texas Rangers Stainless Steel Travel Mug
No complaints. It just is what it is -a stainless steel mug with the Texas Rangers logo on it.
Texas Longhorns 16oz Stainless Steel Travel Mug
I''ve owned a few mugs before, but they always seemed to drip or not keep my coffee warm by the time I sat at my desk. I am very happy with this mug and not just because it''s got a Longhorn on the front.I''ve had it for over a year now and the decal is still on solid, with no scratches or paint flaking off.
Pros:
-keeps my coffee hot
-mug doesn''t feel hot when there''s coffee in it
-the decal is legit
Cons:
-it can''t go in the dishwasher (but it''s not like washing it by hand takes that long anyways)
Seriously, if I lost it I would buy it again -I have remained a very happy (and proud) coffee drinker because of this mug.
Grip N Gulp Replacement Valve (2 Pack)
I bought my kids the Nalgene bottles in Target and one of their valves got sucked into the garbage disposal....needed replacements anyway because they''re bound to get lost...Wish I could have found them in-store but the shipping was pretty fast and the price for these was great! Love the Nalgene bottles for kidsreally great for school lunches and an active day out! ;)

Platy Soft Bottle with HyperFlow Cap
The only issue I had with this bottle is the "Hyperflow Cap". It was very difficult to drink water through it, so I would usually resort to just taking the cap off to drink. Obviously, defeating the purpose of the cap. Other than the cap it performed just like every other Platypus bottle I own. The contour of the bottle did make it less awkward to carry, however. The construction of the bottle is great, very durable. I have never been afraid that I might break or puncture it, and I have tossed it, dropped it, dropped things on it, etc. All in all, it is a good product, but not great only because of the cap. Would I buy it again? Sure, just with a different cap.

The top makes it easy to drink from, but it sticks out so much, its hard to store in the frig. The 0.5L is a little small for me. But it is lightweight for travelling, which is a plus.Read Best Reviews of Platy Soft Bottle with HyperFlow Cap Here
I bought this to go on my daily runs. It works much nicer than a water bottle. Its super light to begin with. You can fill it up and it will stand up when full. You can hold it pretty easily when running. If you keep the air out, no water will slosh arounda great benefit. When you are half full, you can fold it in half and it is a lot easier to hold in your hand when running. The mouth valve works great, just as good as my camelback setups. The 0.5liter bottle is a lot easier to carry than the liter bottle (I bought both).Want Platy Soft Bottle with HyperFlow Cap Discount?
I love theseI had the old style that gave out after 15 years. I had a neoprene pouch for them that made it easy to drink out of and kept it cool and reduced condensation. To my knowledge these new shapes do not have a holster that fits them. They do fit in car cup holders easily but they flop over when they are about half full and the seams are kinda stiff and sharp so I would really like to be able to put it in something. I have hard water bottles of course but I use these as ice packs in my coolers. I freeze them and put them in the cooler and then have cool water later in the dayit does not work as well with hard water bottles.The half liter does not stay frozen for more than a few hours (definitely not the whole day like the 1 L) and of course it only holds a half liter of water which is really not much (yes I knew that when I bought it and am not faulting the item for that).
The hyperflow cap is super easy to drink out of and does not leak. I feel a little iffy about really getting it clean but so far I don''t see signs of grime building up. My only beef with the cap coupled with this skinny bottle shape is that the bottle itself ends up being very tall (11 3/8in) for the amount of water it holds. The cap adds 1.75in to the height compared to a flat cap! The 1L with hyperflow is the height of a 2L soda bottle making it very difficult to fit into coolers which is why I tried the 0.5L. It fits into my tall lunch coolers but it is tight! I wish they had 0.75L size but realize that is a bit picky of me. Still I don''t think the new shape has enough benefits given that the extra height is sort of annoying.
Nalgene OTG Bottle Sleeve
We have several of these insulative sleeves for Nalgene bottles of various sizes. All fit the bottles like a glove. For the most part, we don''t use the bottles without them. They really insulate surprisingly well and you get the added bonus of reducing or eliminating condensation issues. They can be a little pricey (we are just talking about a water bottle, after all) but I still think they are worth it. They seem to hold up well over time, even with constant use and pulling the bottle in and out to wash them.

My kid loves this bottle (probably for the style). For me, it is easy to clean as the entire cap screws off. Add to that the advantage that it is non toxic. A homing/tracking device would make it an ideal product, as she lost one at school (or it was stolen).LOL, I didn''t read the question! The sleeve is OK! maybe they should make them with kid''s themes as well.
Platypus HyperFlow Cap Save 12% off
I just received this in my amazon order. I only gave 4 stars only b/c the price seems a bit high, relative to the price of the hydration bottles, and b/c I just started using it. So far, so good though. The packaging doesn''t include directions, so you have to figure out which direction is the lock, but other than that, it''s simple. I like this b/c I found that I really do drink more water when I use a "sip" style water bottle such as my Camelback hydration bottles. But I do love the collapsible and freezable features of the the Platy bag. I find it a bit wonky to use the pop-top nozzle normally supplied with the Platy, and usually just unscrew and drink that way out of it. The Hyperflow Cap basically makes the Platy bag "sippable" from an upright position, and basically collapses the bag right down as you sip, so I imagine there''s less swallowing of air...if you get it right. If air gets in, no problem, just burp it! The bite valve of the cap is way softer and easier to bite than the Camelbak bottles. It hope cleaning isn''t too difficult since there are a few pieces involved with the cleaning mechanism.

I''m trying to figure out why there are no directions or instructions included with this product because I can''t figure out how it''s supposed to work, or if it''s already working properly and just sucks. This cap works great until you try to drink. There is no leaking whatsoever. But that''s because it simply doesn''t dispense more than a few drops of liquid when you suck on it. If I fill my Platypus PlusBottle up, attach this cap, and then bite it while sucking, I MIGHT get a teaspoon or two of water. No more. If I wanted to empty this 1 liter Platypus bottle it would take me at least an hour.I''ve owned a Camelbak before and those nozzles dispense a mouthful of water in mere seconds. This Platypus cap is nothing like that. It makes you physically fight and struggle for water. I would never recommend this product to anyone and I''m hoping I can return mine for a refund.
UPDATE: I figured out what I was doing wrong. Once you screw the cap all the way onto the bottle you have rotate the nozzle counter clockwise to enable the flow of liquid. It would be nice if they had told me that somewhere on the packaging. I didn''t exactly find the cap and nozzle configuration intuitive. I''m still not convinced that the flow is adequate sometimes but that might have to do with the particular bottle I''m using. Overall I''d give this cap 5 stars if 1) it was a few dollars cheaper and 2) if instructions on how to use the thing were included with the cap.

It is OK it does not give a great flow it may just take some time to break in. Used camel paks in Iraq when I was deployed they have a better flow but gravity is on there side. I personally will keep as an extra but would not recommendWant Platypus HyperFlow Cap Discount?

Bluewave Water Jug - DAILY 8® 1.9 Liter (64 oz) BPA Free Reusable Bottle
There are 7 categories of Plastics. Depending on the category number, the plastic container may be safe for re-use. Blue Wave Water Jug is Plastic Category #7 -which means the chemical composition that''s in the plastic doesn''t fall in the other general categories. In other words, "use-at-your-own-risk" because it''s not the typical kind that can be categorized. For a more comprehensive explanation of plastic categories, visit this link:Based from what i read, plastics #2, #4, and #5 are the only ones meant to be re-used. I''ve reviewed 2 other bottles and they were Plastic Category #1. I think this is a step-up than those two. But nonetheless, my search for a big bottle container that''s "safe" (not only BPA-free) continues...

Clearly this maker is suffering from inconsistent manufacturing. Let me start by saying that I''m a BIG man, I bend metal with my hands for a living, I''m no lilting flower. So when I say that I could only get the sip cap open with pliers, you should understand my full meaning.A tale of two bottles:
bottle 1: this bluewave water jug
bottle 2: a cheapy no-name at Rite Aid.
Materials: the Rite aid bottle is make of PET, or the same as most single-use bottles. Can be easily recycled.
The BlueWave bottle is made of type 7 plastic: ie not registered and only recyclable by grinding into "plastic lumber"
Both claim to be BPA free, But I think I trust the type 1 plastic a lot more.
Sip caps: Both have the standard pull up sip cap. the Rite aid cap can be opened with my front teeth, or with two fingers. However it takes a little force to close properly. the blue wave would not open with front teeth, back teeth, two hands or any other method that someone driving a car would have at the ready. I eventually got the Bluewave bottle open with pliers. I can no open it with back teeth and a LOT of force. Also requires some force to close properly. Caps seem to made of the same material
Flexibility: the Rite Aid PET containers have a nice flex that allow you to suck great sips out of the bottle, though it will only deliver a dribble via gravity. I put some hot water in the Bluewave bottle to force through the cap in hopes it would get "lubricated" and open more easily. I had to flex the bottle to do this. I has wrinkled at one point. I can see how this would readily start to crack and give up the ghost early.
If you don''t intend to use the sip cap, and just want a sealable jug of this size, ten this jug will be fine. If you''re looking for a big sports bottle, then I would suggest going elsewhere.

This jug is great for the office. It''s easy to get lost in a day''s work and forget to drink your daily 2 liters. Filling this jug is my first task during the day, and after that it''s never a problem to finish it off before the day''s over.Some of the older review indicate that this jug is not BPA free, however mine from 5/2011 has a BPA free label on the bottom.

Was looking for a decent BPA-free water bottle that had a handle like this one. In design, this bottle is great, but when it finally arrived the bottle had a large hole in it. Kinda'' defeats the purpose of having a bottle if it''s just going to crack like that. I imagine it was either used, returned by another dissatisfied customer and then sent to me, god forbid. Or whoever was handling the packaging may have accidentally dropped it, which is more likely since the crack resembles the bottle was bashed in. Anyway, I don''t think I''ll end up ordering another one only because this bottle seems fragile, and it looks like one drop on the sidewalk, or even on the floor at work could mean shattering it. I wouldn''t order this if I were you. :[

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my dad. And apparently it meets his quality standards because he put it on his trailer today! Maybe I didn''t read the whole description, but I assumed it was metal, and it was plastic. But it was thick plastic, and if it is taken care of well, it will be just fine.Save 16% off

Bluewave Insulated Sport Sac Water Bottle Holder Save 14% off
I''ve only had these for about 2 weeks but I really want to share my thoughts. I ordered 5 of the 1.5 liter holder in 5 different colors. A different color for each member of my family. Everyone having their own color helps save on the arguments about which holder belongs to whom.We just returned from a week at Disney World. These water bottle holders were life savers! It was sooooo hot and we drank a ton of water. My husband and I put regular sized coolie cups in the bottom of our holders and then put our 24 oz. sports bottles in those. Kept things cooler a little longer. Our 3 kids (ages 11, 11, and 8) put 16.9 oz. bottles of frozen water in their holders with room to add a small snack too. :) We were ALMOST able to fit two 16.9 oz. bottles into one holder but didn''t want to force the issue. When we ran out of our original supply of water, we just filled our empty bottles up from water fountains.
Sadly, our kids are very destructive when it comes to items like this. But... these held up great!!! Their was NO bleeding of colors. NO condensation came through the holder. NO sign of seems coming apart. The adjustable straps made it a breeze to tote these around. The little zipper pocket, on the outside, came in handy too. You should have seen the envious looks we got from other people, who looked parched, when they saw us grab our holder and take a refreshing drink. We highly recommend these.

I freeze a bottle of water about 3/4 full and then top it off everynight I go to work. I bought a few a these insulated sport sac''s with the hopes that they would help keep the water atleast cold all night. These things work way better then I anticipated!! I''ve left the bottle in the sac all day while I''ve slept, and when I''ve gotten up there was still ice in the bottle and the temp outside was in the 80''s. They are well worth the money!!Read Best Reviews of Bluewave Insulated Sport Sac Water Bottle Holder Here
I loved the idea of the water bottle holder, so I could have my hands free. This is the perfect design. I calculated by measuring my water bottle (stainless) plus my cell phone that I would need the 1.5L size unit to hold both inside...measuring, per THEIR listing, 4" diameter x 10" tall. Received the package promptly but the size was 3.5" diameter, 8.5" tall. That is the LISTED size of a 1L holder. No marking on the water bottle holder or the packaging (plastic bag) it was in as to what size it was. Sent the seller a note, they sent me a replacement with return shipping bag. The REPLACEMENT was identical in size I wrote the seller a second note, SENT THEM PHOTOS with rulers measuring the bag, and they told me that the listed diameter of 4" included the padding and was the EXTERIOR dimension, not INTERIOR, plus the 10" includes the drawstring nylon area (that pulls in to close around the bottle top. So I sent the two back, and asked for a 2L size, which THEY list at being 5" diameter and 10" tall. Received it, and it was 5" diameter INTERIOR measurement (go figure!) and was only 6-1/2" tall in the padded area, only 8" tall WITH the nylon closure area!!!. However, it works.And one more thing. When the second one was sent, I did hook up the strap, just to check it. The strap was SO SHORT when put diagonally over your shoulder that the bottle was ABOVE MY ELBOW at my side! I just figured I would borrow a strap from one of my old suitcases when I got the new larger size holder. However, the larger size holder has a full size strap that allows the bottle to hang down near my waist.

I bought this product in it''s 2 liter size. It did seem to keep my drink cool for a little while longer than otherwise, but at the cost of covering up the bottle''s handle and making it awkward to handle in that size. I kept it hung on a hook in the cab of the ambulance, so it didn''t really get heavy wear, yet it frayed and ripped after only a few months of use. I wouldn''t really bother buying another one.Save 14% off
