Kelsyus Floating Cooler Save 30% off

I was fairly set on getting a cooler for the pool. Nothing hurts your feet more than the hot pavers around the pool baking in the sun when you have to walk over to the garage fridge to grab another drink.

I purchased it based on the price and the 2 good reviews on Amazon.

Pros:

Easy to inflate

Made of fairly tough material

Cord to attach to yourself to keep your beer near you

Inflates Easily

Ice stayed cold/frozen for quite a while

Drinks fit snugly into the holders

Cons:

With ice, I barely got 6 bottles of beer in this cooler. I know the description mentions cans, but I haven''t drank beer from a can since college.

Overall, if you are buying this for personal use, pick one up, it is a very good little cooler. But if you are buying this so that friends dont have to get up and go to the fridge when they are swimming at your house, buy a few of them...they don''t hold nearly enough.

This cooler is amazing!!! I was looking for something like this for a real long time and the wait was worth it, just think about being inside a pool or the beach and you don''t have to get out to get your beverage (works incredible with beer bottles) or a refill. It holds up to 6 bottles or cups in the cupholdres, so there''s enough place for your and your buddies drinks. The cord is really useful to get it around your wrist so it won''t get carried away by the tide.

An awesome product for anyone who likes the outdoors fun in the water and the price is a bargain.

Cooler was better made than expected for the price. Also we were able to place about 10 beverages in the cooler with ice. The cooler floated down a 6 mile river raft ride (pretty mellow class 1) kept everything cold and came away with no damage.

The cooler is made to be portable with it''s built in case... takes a little sense to get the case to self store though. Once you have it assembled yes assembled, this cooler is the best. Very well made. Spacious. It has six cup holders built in around it. Get one of those automotive self extinguishing ashtrays and just pop it in a cup holder and you have a self contained floating bar. Cigarettes and cell phones fit in a zippered side pocket and are very safe from getting wet. This cooler just makes my sunburn a little more tolerable.... great product.

I use this with an above ground pool, and it works well. The waves don''t topple it, and the numbered container holders keep people from drinking the wrong beverage.

Even on super hot days, the cooler -if kept with ice -does a fine job of chilling the beverage.

Well worth the money!

Dallas Cowboys Stainless Steel Water Bottle

I bought this water bottle on sale. I''m a major Cowboys fan who drinks water all day, so I figured this bottle would be perfect. It wasn''t long, however, that the logo started wearing off. We''re talking during the first week of use. I should have returned it, but I had bought it very cheap and didn''t want to bother with an exchange or return. Now, I have a beautiful silver bottle without a logo, since it has worn completely off. Nobody else has reviewed it, so I don''t know if I had a bad bottle or if all of them are like that.

SteriPEN Pre-Filter

After buying Steripen, I still boiled my water for awhile, but now have total confidence in this product. Couldn''t be easier to use. Now I''m saving lots of stove fuel and drinking healthy water. The prefilter is a MUST in combination with the Steripen. Clear, clean water.

I love how it works and I really trust it to work every time. Can''t say much more about it since it is so simple. My only advice is to try one on your bottle first. Mine fit nalgenes like a glove, but on my camelback, it is really tight. Still works fine, but a little harder to use. I keep mine in a ziplock when I''m on the trail, not on the bottle. You can leave it on, you just have to try a few different ways.

Also, when it is dry, it does not work! You have to wet it and it will flow very fast. It will stay wet on the trail after the first use. Not a flaw, it is just a very fine mesh in the filter.

I used this product on a hike of the Long Trail in Vermont last fall with the SteriPEN Journey LCD Ultraviolet Water UV Purifier. If you end up having to drink water from a murky source, then this product will do a great job of keeping the sediment out. If the Steripen is your solution to water purification, then I would definitely recommend bringing the prefilter along it will definitely increase the quality/taste of the water you end up drinking.

It took me several tries before I figured it out but once you know what to do, it works well. I bought this to go with the SteriPEN. Now I feel secure drinking water from the lakes and streams.s

Used this for a couple days on a backpacking trip in Colorado. The water we filtered was clean to begin with, but this adds some reassurance on top of the steripen. It makes a very tight (maybe too tight) seal with my nalgene.

bübi bottle 14 oz

I''ve tried a lot of water bottles for my family. My concerns are always: BPA free, easy to clean, won''t get ruined, not too heavy. This water bottle really works for all of these issues. The kids LOVE the texture because the silicone is squishy, which makes it especially good for fidgety kids. It''s pretty easy to clean. You have to take out an insert in the bottle mouth and the ring on the outside of the mouth I can see these getting lost, but that goes for the cap as well. But after that the mouth is wide enough to easily clean. The bottle will generally stand up when full, but it''s best to keep the cap screwed on tight. I''ve had one issue of a kid squeezing a bit to hard and water spilling, but that lesson was learned and not repeated.

Pros: Squishy and soft, collapses when the liquid is finished, can hook onto a lunch bag, difficult to ruin.

Cons: Expensive, can spill if squeezed too hard!

It''s cute and lightweight and flexible. I can put a slice of lemon and the insert thing on the bottle neck keeps the lemon in while I drink the water.

There was a little silicone taste at the first use. It''s solved by cooking the whole thing in boiling water and soaked overnight.

Tupperware Small Pink Sports Bottle

I love this bottle. Not only does it fit in my bike water bottle rack, it''s pink, so I can find it when I am ready to run out the door for a quick bike ride.

I love these bottles... I got the small pink one for my daughter and the larger gray (doesn''t come in this color anymore) for me. Mine lasted for years (I even ran it over with my car) until my husband lost it. This was the best water bottle I ever had. Wish I could find the larger one again. Kind of cool to have the bottom cup to hide nuts or car keys in, but usually I just took it off and used it without. I highly recommend this bottle!!

Klean Kanteen Water Bottle Bike Cage for 27-Ounce Bottles

It felt cheap and too flexible when I installed it, but I went ahead anyway. From the get-go it rattled and shook with a full 27 oz-er while going over anything but pristine pavement. The other day it seemed to be looser than usual and I had to stop and tighten it. Soon after, I hit a moderate bump and the kanteen was flung from the cage, cascading into traffic and acquiring a severe dent along its journey. Upon further inspection the cage had significant cracking and splitting of the plastic around the mounting holes. What a piece of junk. It''s clear nobody bothered to test it.

My main problem with the design is that it keeps dropping my bottle, I''m a pretty active biker and I can''t count the number of times I''ve been going down a hill only to have my Klean Kanteen completely fall out. On the other hand it is essentially the only game in town, so take that as you will.

I love my Klean Kanteen, pretty iffy on the bike cage

Buy Klean Kanteen Water Bottle Bike Cage for 27-Ounce Bottles Now

After I replaced my beat up BPA lined SIGG water bottle with a beautiful blue Kleen Kanteen, I purchased this bike cage for it to keep it looking nice. I always carry my water with me and bike with it every day, so i thought that this plastic cage would protect it from scratches and would hold it securely on my commute. It attached easily to my bike and seemed to be a great fit for the Kleen Kanteen. The very first day i used it, I arrived at school to discover that the cage had already scratched the paint completely off the bottle in a couple of places, and scratched it up around the bottom. Bummer! Every time I use it it mars the finish even more.

To add insult to injury (or maybe the other way round?) I was biking the other day and hit a modestly sized pothole -1-2 inches deep -and the water bottle was flung from my bike to the road into traffic. When I managed to turn back and get it, I found it badly beaten and scratched. My poor water bottle looks like it has been to hell and back in one and a half short months, thanks to this terrible holder. Not worth the investment. I would have been better off saving my money and cramming my new bottle into the aluminum cage I already had.

I wanted a bottle cages on my road bike so I did not have to carry my hydration pack since it is a pain to clean, so I purchased two of those bottle cages because I already have two 27oz KK and it will give it a try.

When I received them they looked solid and well made. I was not sure about the open design of the cage.

The instalation process was somewhat of a pain but that was due to the choice of the tools and setup of my bike(For most of the maintenance I use a multi tool and I could not find right alen key in my house so I had to use that)

Then I took it for a spin with two full KK, and I was some what disappointed.

Two full 27 KK works well on longer 60-80k rides on 100F weather, but they are quite heavy, and while on a climb or a sprint out of saddle they wobble like crazy to the point that it hit side of my knee and rattle like a rattle snakes on all bumps.

And they scratch your KK like crazy even the plain ones (Don''t even think about putting a colored one in it.

Overall product is good but it is not perfect. It would be perfect for some slow crusing/comutting not for a more spirited rider.

This thing is great. Some reviews mentioned sharp edges scuffing the Kanteen, so I knocked the corners down with some sand paper. It''s been great.
