Camelbak Quick Grip 21 Oz Hydration Pack

I was initially a little hesitant about running with something in my hands (especially on long runs, as I am training for a marathon), but I was pleasantly surprised.

The bottle is easy to use (has an open/close tab which prevents leakage) while running and because it is insulated, you get a nice COLD drink while running. (I fill mine with ice and water and they tend to say cold for about 2 hours when I''m running outside). The bottle does not have a straw and you can easily squirt it into your mouth while you run... perfect for keeping a fast running pace for me. The jacket around the bottle makes it easy to hold as it has a strap that goes outside your hand... I haven''t had one issue holding onto it while running.

My only complaint is that the key holder in the front is not big enough to fit my car key, although it fits a house key just fine. It also nicely fits 2GuGel packets inside without a problem.

I own 2 now, and use them both in my training and love them!! (I''ve also tucked them in my bag for work if I have a long meeting, as they stay cold even longer when you''re not training with them outside)

Highly recommend this product!!

This is perfect for me. I am training for my first half marathon and I like holding this bottle during my training. My other friends have a water belt but I do not like the splish splashing around my waist while running/walking. This one reminds me to keep my arm up and swing them (just like coach says). I never notice any plastic taste to my water. The pocket is perfect for 2 gels or a gel and a key. You do want lots of this little pockets on you while running. I love the color, easy to spot. I usually rinse it out each day after my workout and dry it upside down on the dish rack to air it out. I have never tried to take off the sleeves. I never had a need to do it. It never slipped off my hands. Love it!

The bottle is awesome and I love it. It''s easy to use one handed and I have no leakage problems.

The thing I don''t like that much is the hand grip. Even when cinched down, I still have to actively hold onto the bottle. And all the weight isn''t evenly distributed on my hand. there''s a pressure point and it starts to hurt after about 20 min, and I have to change hands.

I would purchase the bottle alone, and get a different holder/grip.

This bottle is better than I expected after reading reviews. IT keeps water cold for at least 2 hours depending on the temperature outside. I love the little pocket. I put my cell phone in it while I am working out at the gym. It doesn''t zip , but the phone stays in just fine. Everyone asks where I got this bottle. I bought two more bottles without the handle for my children to take to soccer practice. The bottles are great at keeping their water cold. Would purchase again.

...not so great in real life.

I already own two Amphipod Hydraform handheld bottles, one with a zippered pouch and one without. I bought the Camelbak Quick Grip bottle for two reasons: 1. The fact that it''s insulated, so I was hoping that in the summer my water could stay cooler longer, and 2. The nifty no-splash, no-leak drinking nozzle which I wouldn''t have to pull to open and push to close each time I wanted to take a sip during a run.

What I stupidly didn''t NOTICE: the Camelbak bottle is significantly taller, extending a good bit farther up from where my hand would be holding the bottle than the Amphipod does. What this means is, when the Camelbak bottle is fully filled with water, the weight is not evenly distributed at my wrist---the bottle tends to pull my wrist forward and downwards with my pinky finger pointing towards the ground.

Now, this is DISASTROUS. Total DEALBREAKER. Why? Because the whole point of using a handheld bottle is, the strap is supposed to allow your fingers/hands/wrist to more or less relax while you''re running, so that after a while you almost forget that you''re even carrying it.

Further, what I didn''t REALIZE: the Camelbak''s round cylindrical shape is far less comfortable to hold than the Amphipod''s flatter, elliptical shape. It requires signficantly more energy and effort to securely hold on to the Camelbak bottle.

And the Camelbak''s strap adjustment system was not nearly as robust or easy to use as that of the Amphipod.

In a nutshell: during my 8 mile run, I *never* came anywhere close to forgetting that the Camelbak bottle was there. This improved a little bit towards the end when the water dropped to about 1/3 of capacity, which made it not only lighter but more importantly, better balanced. Sorry, but this baby''s going back...

Moral of the story: sometimes you don''t realize just how good something already is, until you try to replace it with something that you mistakenly thought would be "better."

Now, if only I could get Amphipod to make an insulated bottle with a no-splash/spill nozzle!

Eau Good Bottle Save 18% off

It does a nice job filtering tap water but it doesn''t work instantly. I find it tastes better if I let the water sit for a few hours before I drink it. The mouth of the bottle is a perfect size, slightly bigger than my Sigg. The shape of the bottle is cool and I''ve gotten a lot of compliments on it. I''ve also been asked questions like, "Is that a bong?" and "Is that a floating turd in your water?" After 2 weeks of use, there are pieces of the charcoal floating around in it, so I have to dump out that batch of water and start over. I think I''ll just start leaving it in the fridge so my boyfriend will drink out of it instead of putting his mouth on the brita pitcher.

I''ve been using Bobbles for a couple of years now, and I love the idea of a water bottle with a built-in filter. That said, I''ve never loved the squirt bottle style. Enter the Black+Blum bottle! It has the built-in filter with a wide mouth to drink from.

While it can be annoying that the water filtration isn''t instant, I actually find it works pretty well. I refill it when it gets down to 1/3 left in the bottle so I rarely am starting from scratch. I find that I''m able to use it all day long. It''s also great to refill right before bedtime to make sure you can start the day with a full, filtered bottle of water.

Pros:

Wide mouth

Built-in filter

Top seals well

Water tastes great when filtered

Filter can be repurposed after 6 months

Cons:

Flecks of charcoal can occur when water sits

Takes 1 hour for minimal filtering and 8 hours for full filtering

...but the bottle itself is awesome. Great shape, the lid stays on tight but is easy to open. I actually look to make sure I have it before I leave the house. First rate.

Seriously. I can''t take this bottle out of my bag without someone talking about it and wanting one. My yoga instructor even asked me (during class) where I got it.

I don''t have much to say about its filtration capabilities. I did fill it with tap water once and left it in the fridge overnight, and the water did taste better. But honestly, I usually put filtered water in it! I do, however, travel for work and when I do, I usually bring an empty water bottle with me to fill in the drinking fountain (yeah, I''m hardcore). So this bottle will be perfect for those circumstance where I can''t get filtered water.

The one little thing that was a little annoying is the metal clip on the top came off the bottle a few times. I had to tighten it by squeezing the two sides together and re-fastening it to the top. Hard to explain if you don''t have one. But it seems to have fixed the issue, so no big deal.

Love this! Love the no-waste bottle. Holds plenty of water and best of all, the water really tastes great. And that little charcoal thing inside? You can re-use that for other purposes....very cool

Gaiam Flower Power Yoga Mat Bag & Water Bottle Set Keylime Save 33% off

Product is well suited to my needs. The yoga mat bag easily fits my standard size Gaiam-brand mat. It''s easy to get my mat in and out. Shoulder strap is comfortable and easy-to-carry. The design on the mat bag isn''t overly exciting but it is functional and worth the price. The water bottle is a nice bonus, but no terribly exciting. If you want the kit more for the bottle and the bag I would suggest buying a different product. Otherwise, the dual-set is a fantastic value and functional.

Looks great, constructed in good quality. Worked through several semesters with me dragging it around campus. No wear and tear. Only thing is that I can''t seem to get my yoga mat to fit in it as well as it did when I first purchased it. That might be my mat though.

Set of 6 Gatorade G Sports Bottles

These bottles are the best. They are very easy to sip from. You can also squirt from the bottle directly into your mouth with no leakage.

Every time we watch sports on TV my kid says "They''re using the same bottle I have." Priceless. Oh, they work fine too.

the price and shipping was less than the stores and other competitors.

I like this water bottle because its bright green cannot lose it and the squeeze bottle is a major factor.

These bottles work great. We got this six pack so that we had one for many uses: exercise bags, school bags, truck box, etc. Pretty sturdy and rather leak resistant. I''d recommend them.

I purchased these to replace a mismatched collection of aquafina/dasani/etc bottles that had been used for refilling. So far, they''ve been great. I like the size, durability, and value. I''ve also been impressed with the cap. Water only comes out when you want it to with suction or squeezing.

The only downside is that after sitting at room temperature for awhile, there is some aftertaste. It may be because they''re still new. Either way, it wouldn''t stop me from recommending this bottle.

This M-Wave Water Bottle Cage is definitely not god to use with the Klean Kanteen stainless steel water bottle.

I bought it to use it with, but it was a big mistake, it might be a good product, but not to use with the Klean Kanteen Stainless Steel Bottle.

Something I did not like about this M-Wave Bottle Cage is the fact this this is built from aluminum, but the bolts the come with are not from aluminum, they are iron bolts, which might become rusted.

That is why I just gave It 4 stars.

Mounted easily on my bike, it looks great and it holds my water bottle in place no matter the terrain. Has a slick look.

Liquid Logic Nautilus BPA Free Water Bottle (25-Ounce)

I got one of the green water bottles. It''s a very nice color, holds a decent amount of water, has nice grip indents and is a breeze to clean because of the wide opening. The flip-up top is easy to use and the opening is small enough that I don''t have to worry about spilling water all over myself when tilting it up to get a drink. I''ve knocked the water bottle over on my desk several times, and the flip-up top doesn''t open or leak, which is a relief since I keep it next to my laptop. I''m going to buy another one.

Update 5/30/11: It''s been almost 2 years and my two water bottles are still holding up great (despite daily use and being dropped to the floor a few times).

Update 1/7/12: One of my bottles got a 1.5 inch crack in the lid where you screw it on, doesn''t leak though. Both water bottles are still working perfectly fine.

It leaks. I wanted one that would snap shut or seal somehow but it doesn''t. I even have to hold the cap down tight to keep it from leaking while I''m shaking some vitamin mix into it. It isn''t dishwasher safe either. I''m going to try a Contigo water bottle now. Those get good reviews...

Overall, I like my new water bottle, but find it has a few design issues. Biggest complaint is the flipper top it opens up real easily. I''ve had water spill out in my car when I went around a corner & it tipped over. Make sure you secure it in an upright position wherever you take it! Also, I would like to see lines on the side so I know how many oz of water I have left to drink. The metal carabiner rattles when I have it in my car. Pluses are that it was a good price, is BPA free, a nice size, and fits in the cup holder of my car.

This bottle feels very cheap and chincy, like it will break easily. But,to my surprise, it has held up to my abuse for 2 months now. It hangs on my harness while I work many hours on high ropes courses and it goes hiking with me and everywhere in between. It doesn''t look or feel like much, but that doesn''t really matter if its still working.

I ordered 12 of these to give for Christmas. Out of the 12, 3 had flip tops that did not work and the others I wouldn''t trust in a backpack or anyplace they would tip over. I was disappointed because I liked the rest of the features (grooves for fingers, caribeaner, and color.)
