Lifesaver Bottle 4000 Ultra Filtration Water Bottle


... I usually don't write reviews, but this product went way beyond my expectations.

At first I was kind of skeptical about it, especially for the price. But at the urging of some friends I finally got one and used it. What I like about it is how simple it is to use. All the other filters I have used are a hassle with the hoses, the extra bottle you filter into and the awkward pumping action all the while trying to keep in from falling into the contaminated water you're drawing from. Then you have to fold everything up, still wet into a pouch and put it into your pack. It's a hassle to me. The Lifesaver avoids all of that.

Just unscrew the bottom of the bottle, fill it with the contaminated water, close it and give it a couple of simple pumps. Instant sterile water. In my opinion, the video and the pictures don't do it justice. You need to try one and it will become crytal clear...like the water it produces!

I have one that I use backpacking and another in my 72-hour kit.

One more thing: every other filter I have used over the years kept pumping water long after the filter was done filtering. The fact that this one stops working when the filter needs replacement is genious. ...

Pyramid Alloy Bicycle Water Bottle Cage, Bulk


... Inexpensive, functional ... and in several colors. If you're not racing and concerned about shaving grams off your bicycle's weight, why spend $40 on a carbon bottle cage. These are light weight aluminum and get the job done. I chose red for one grey and one silver (metallic grey) Cannondale touring bicycle ... looks nice. Add a tan Brooks B-17 saddle and Brooks tan leather handle bar tape and the cycle is dressed up ... admired by all whether a vintage '87 or a 2008. ...

Sigg Lifestyle Water Bottle


... After reading an article about BPA leaching from plastic water bottles, I freaked out and immediately thought that I needed a stainless steel water bottle. If this is also what you are looking for, the ALUMINUM Sigg bottle may not be for you. Aluminum water bottles, like Sigg bottles, use a coating or liner and these liners may or may not contain BPA. I only found this out after I received a Sigg bottle as a gift from my work.

That being said, Sigg does state that their bottles have a "Non-toxic proprietary inner liner resistant to leaching; taste- and scent-neutral." If this sounds okay to you and you like the colors and designs Sigg offers, go right ahead and purchase a Sigg bottle. Since they are made from aluminum, they are surprisingly light weight (I have a one liter model and it feels lighter than my smaller stainless steel Klean Kanteen). But if you have media induced BPA-phobia like I do, get a stainless steel water bottle e.g., Klean Kanteen Stainless Steel Colored Water Bottles with Poly Loop Cap. ...

Eco-Friendly Brushed Stainless Steel 700ml Water Bottle - Easy-Carry Carabiner - BPA-Free


... A nice strong bottle for the price. The poor quality carabiner chain spoils it (a bit). When I opened the packaging everything was intact but the carabiner chain was rusty and was made of very poor materials, I removed it immediately. All in all a secure cap to keep the water in and safe enough to carry in your Crumpler laptop bag.

The stainless steel surface is very good but can can easily get scratched, The chain attached to the screw-in cap had already scratched the bottle surface. It would be better for the manufacturer to include a tough plastic chain or even a nylon cord or better completely remove the rusty chain and sell the product as is. ...

Earthlust 32 Oz. Tree Stainless Steel Water Bottle


... The bottle is mega-cool, which is why I bought it instead of just a plain stainless steel bottle. However, the paint peels off no matter how you wash it. The other poor review for this bottle said that the paint was flaking off from dishwashing it, which is no shock because it SAYS not to put it in the dishwasher in the instructions. I have only washed mine according to the instructions and the paint is coming off as well. I also bought the bird one and the same thing is occurring. Moral: If people are going to sell something with something cool painted on it, they should make sure the paint stays on. And they can because, just to let you know, the "Earthlust" logo which is also painted on is NOT coming off at all. Shows where their priorities are. I am tempted to scratch that part off so I won't be advertising for a crappy product. To be fair. It "works" functionally just fine. But very disappointed with the graphic coming off. ...
