Contigo Water Bottle

Inviscid Design Speedfil A2

I bought this product knowing that many of the reviews claimed that the bottle leaked. However, with few options for a torpedo style mount and many positive reviews suggesting that the leaky bottles could be fixed with a little "home engineering". I assumed that a little splashing after going over bumps would be no big deal.

I was shocked after installing the bottle to discover that it doesn''t so much "leak" as it does "pour" water out of the front straw hole until the bottle is less than about half full, when it stops only because the fluid level is below the huge poorly engineered unsealed gap that exists between the bottle and the straw that comes out of it. My race nutrition is a sugary mixture, splashed and wasted water is one thing, but dribbling sticky sugar all over the front end of my bike is not acceptable.

This would be a crappy product at $10, at $60 the design is inexcusably poor.

I bought this last month and brought it home and it immediately started to leak like the above reviews mentioned. I notified that retailer I bought it from and they ordered me a new one. In the mean time I looked online for reviews and found the above reviews and was very hopeful after seeing the manufactures response. When I got my 2nd one on Saturday I tested it in the store and it did not leak....at least not in the story. When I got home and filled it, it left a huge puddle beneath my bike in a matter of a few hours. If I was to use it as is, I either have to only use it for water or I have to deal with it leaking Carbo-Pro all over my front end (the stuff is like cement so this is no good). If I only use it for water, it really limits how I take in my nutrition....kind of defeating the purpose of the purchase (at least in my eyes). I would say if you want to use it for only water and can handle the constant leaking then it''s as good as any. Other wise just set up the front bottle mount and use a regular bottle instead.

I had high hopes for this product when I purchased it, but was extremely disappointed when I filled the bottle and it started leaking around the lid. I tried several different bottles and all had the same issue. I put a standard lid on those same bottles and turned them sideways for comparison. The standard lids did not leak and I had hoped for the same from the A2. I will either return or call the manufacturer for suggestions or a replacement. Also, if you don''t set the tubing correctly you won''t be able to drink the lower half of the bottle. While a great concept, it needs some fine tuning.

The problem with the A2 is, simply put, there are too many seals and not enough quality control.

My A2 leaks from where the straw inserts into the bottle head. My riding buddy''s has never sealed properly where the bottle meets the head the o-ring there, for him, does nothing. In my instance, I fixed it with some aquarium cement, but Heaven help me if I ever need to clean it again. For my buddy, he just deals with it.

Other than that, decent product. Easy to fill. Easy to drink from. No real complaints other than the nitpick of wanting my liquid to stay in the bloody bottle.

I purchased the A2 three weeks ago and waited for 5 long rides to write the review. I can only assume that those who experienced leaks must have an error with initial setup. It will take a few minutes to get the tubes and mouthpiece in correctly but it''s not difficult. I use a Specialized 20 oz bottle and an XLAB torpedo mount. It is sturdy, works great and refills easily on the fly.

I had a problem with the initial shipment and contacted Inviscid Design directly via email on their website. They answered my questions and sent me a replacement mouthpiece the next day. Very pleasant experience and happy to have a company stand behind their product.

Civilian Ghost Ring Mini Bottle Holder/Aluminum Canteen Carrier (Black/Silver)

I use this thing all the time. It works perfectly. I have it clipped to my camera bag because I need water and have my hands free while out shooting.

This thing is rugged and strong. It is very well made and will last a long time. And it works with every bottle that I have used with it. I am very happy with it.

Really amazing! does what it says I cant see how this could break its pretty heavy duty. Although I wouldnt recommend hooking it on your belt its still pretty heavy and moves a lot. Best spots are on your back pack or if you got a cool back pack with D rings on the straps hook them on there its great,

I had the ghost ring attached to one of my bags and at some point the metal clasp that opens did just that. Only it opened sideways somehow allowing the entire ghost ring to separate. I didn''t notice it was gone until later. And later was when I wanted to attach a bottle of water only to find nothing to attach it to. so I never got a chance to see if it worked or not.

Stainless Steel Drinking Bottle Cap

I reviewed the bottle that this cap is used on earlier so i wont bore you with that again. The stainless steel bottle comes with a fancy "sports cap" that leaks as soon as the bottle is filled. To avoid this this cap is needed and, in fact, should come with the bottle standard! This is really a rip off.

The steel screw cap with loop works great with the 40oz bottle. I was a bit confused trying to be sure that I was getting the right sized bottle and style of cap, but going directly to seller''s webpage (Dr Holistic Market) made that much easier.

When I ordered my stainless steel Enviro water bottle, it came with a sports cap that was plastic and basically ''crappy!.'' I was disappointed with the quality of the cap, but had seen this blue replacement cap on a friends bottle and knew this was a much better option.

Pros: Cap seals tight and the loop top allows me to attach a clip so that I can take it with me hands free if necessary.

Cons: Because the threaded neck seals down into the bottle, you cannot fill it all the way to the top. If you do, when you screw the cap down into the neck, the cap will push the excess water out of the bottle. This isn''t a huge inconvenience, but if you''re purchasing a smaller water bottle, filling it less than full may not give you as much water as you bottle truly holds.

Overall, I''m happy with the quality and the cap is very easy to keep clean.

I use the cap on the 1-liter bottle. I found the bottle and cap to be good quality, easy to clean, and fits into cupholders. I use the optional cap instead of the provided suck-nipple. The cap is a bit of a pain because of overflows after filling. The solution has been to leave a fair amount of air at the top when filling. This is not a problem with the nipple since it is hollow.

great shipping and processing etc. however this is completely unnecessary since the bottles already come with a cap. Unless you''re going to be throwing your water bottle around and trying to break the cap.. this is useless.

Silver 12oz Wide Mouth Stainless Steel Reusable Water Bottle

Stainless steel water bottles leach small amounts of chromium and manganese. Food grade stainless steel (304) is safe to use. This stainless steel, however, is grade 201. The percentage of nickel is half those of food grade stainless steel, while carbon and manganese are twice and thrice respectively than those of food grade stainless steel.

I bought this bottle because it was half the price of the other water bottles. But you get what you pay for not a 18/8 or 18/10 bottle, but a 16/3.5 bottle. Don''t risk your health, use glass or pay 5 dollars more for a real stainless steel water bottle.

I have the 18 and 27 oz Gen Med Stainless bottles which are both great, but a bit large. My wife wanted a smaller bottle to fit in her waist pack or hand bag. She did not want to be holding a bottle when she was shopping or in a Dr''s office etc. This bottle did the job, plus it also fits nicely in a car cup holder. This is an all stainless steel bottle with no paint on it and has a wide mouth. The cap comes off and on with 3 half turns, which is nice and easy. There is an exellent seal on the cap when tightened down, I have not had any problems with Gen Med bottles leaking. Quite a few reviewers mention the clips on Gen Med bottles look weak, but none ever said it broke. It''s stainless steel with a strong spring on it and definitely does not look weak to me. The bottle will sweat if you put ice water in it. If needed my wife will wrap it in a quality paper towel, which obsorbs the moisture nicely. This is a very nice smaller bottle.

I have not had any problems with a metallic taste. I first wash it thoroughly, and than soak it in a vinegar solution before using it.

I just went to the website for Together-Bottle, the company from which amazon gets these water bottles. In the product features, it does list the bottles as being food grade stainless steel (#304). A previous reviewer claimed that they were not food grade. I don''t know where he/she got that information.

If you want to get away from toxins while doing your part to be ecologically responsible, this is the way to go. While there are other brands to choose from, why pay exhorbant prices for essentially the same product--a steel bottle. This was the most cost effective unit I came across. Compared to another expensive brand that I also purchased [KK], this one functions every bit as well. So, unless you simply want to be conspicuous, save your money... take the wife/hubby out to dinner with the savings instead.

STAINLESS STEEL BOTTLES (KYLE)

My son is 5 and he loves this water bottle. It''s the metal kind that all the adults are using and it has his name on it, so he doesn''t get it confused with all of the gatorade bottles the rest of his team uses! I''ve bought one for each of my 3 kids!

Innate Gear Motus Water Bottle

I had another model of Innate with the same type of lip. I like the other model Mizu better. The lid on this one seems like it won''t stay shut, so if I lay it on the floor at the gym it will come open. Disappointed.
