Customer Review :
They were as expected, but perspire like crazy!
I bought two 40 oz bottles with the sports cap. I use the Klean Kanteen Stainless Steel Water Bottle Shoulder Sling (40-Ounce Bottles) with these bottles.
Pros: They are lightweight, even when full. The sports caps I received with my bottles make drinking easy. (To other reviewers who say these make noises when drinking from them: these don't chirp if I hold it so the loop part is up.) Stainless steel bottle is durable.
Cons: Cold liquids cause the bottle to perspire. Be prepared for a damp pant leg if you carry this using the sling. With the sports cap, if the bottle is tipped over, it leaks, even with the outer cap on.
For anyone that cares, the two bottles are slightly magnetic. Small fridge magnets do stay on the bottles when placed on there. Apparently, this is expected because of the Klean Kanteen manufacturing process.

Klean Kanteen
Just got this in the mail today. Product is light, attractive and large enough for plenty of fluid (I have the 18oz version, plenty big.) Everything seems well made and sure to last a while as it is stainless steel. I prefer the Klean Kanteen to other manufactures because of the stripped down nature of it. The stainless steel look is perfect, very utilitarian inside and out. I don't really want or need paint, designs or special caps. Just hold my water for me. I'm sure it will do that for a while.
Rating :     
Hate these things.
Ok, they get one star for being attractive. And one more for using safe materials.
But they are horrible beyond that. I am shocked that anyone thinks they are any good.
They let more air than water in through the nozzle, and they make a loud, bizarre whistling noise. And if you try to remove the white stopper to get better water flow they will leak water all over you.
Yes, they do fit bicycle bottle holders, but if you buy the painted ones the paint will scrape off immediately when you take them in and out of the bottle cage (unless your cage is plastic - not sure about that).
AND - the little nozzle WILL NOT STAY OPEN! If you try to drink it will slide shut when it is barely touched. If you are standing very, very still and not moving and concentrate very hard, you can kind of hold it open with your teeth or lips and try to suck the water that way. Then it will probably stay open.
But of course, you are just going to get mostly air anyway, especially when the bottle is not completely full.
Sending ours back.

Great Durable Bottle
I've had this bottle for 2 months now and it has one tiny ding in it but otherwise looks like new. It has held up remarkable well to considering I take it everywhere, certainly much better than other bottles I've had or seen in the past. The 27 ounce is the perfect size too, a good medium-large bottle with a wide mouth which you can fit ice cubes in. Perfect for anything you might want it for. I highly recommend it.

great water bottle
Am enjoying this water bottle. It replaced a Sigg, which dented quite easily. The violet color is great. The base is small enough to fit into holders easily (in the car, golf cart, etc.). The only thing that is "different" is that it "chirps" when you drink from it. It must come from the small air hole in the top. It drives my daughter crazy when she uses hers, but I don't mind it at all! It's fairly quiet, but it definitely "chirps" !! The 27-oz. is a good size and I don't have to keep refilling it often. Very happy with purchase.

Customer Review :
Low Quality, NOT made in America anymore, and obvious + Bogus Warranty
I bought this backpack for college and after 9 months it tore in three places. Terrible quality. I paid 5 Bucks to mail it in for repair under warranty and after two months with no responce I called and found out that they won't fix anything because the damage happened, "as a result of normal use,".....well isn't that exactly why companies have a warranty? So that if the product you buy from them shows manufacturing defects that become evident through normal use the product is replaced? This company is a joke and only profits on the fact that they have huge name recognition, but this product was of very low quality and the warranty is a fraud.

JanSport SuperBreak Backpack, White
Love jansport, always wanted a white bag and now i have it. I have no idea how i'm going to keep it clean but the white look so crisp i'll try my hardest. I heard scotchgaurd should help and if it's like my other jansport bag its and easy as tossing it into the washing machine and hang drying it. LOVE THE BAG!
Rating :     
Do NOT use this company
Do not use this company. We have had three shipping delays since we first ordered this JanSport Backpack. The constant delays will mean it will take close to three weeks to get this backpack. I just went in to Amazon to cancel and I was not even allowed to do that.
Rating : 
Still the best.
I was weary of getting this bag after reading that the bags were of thinner quality, but I went ahead and purchased it. Although the bags being thinner was true, it hasn't been a problem yet and I've had the bag for over six months. The bag is still very durable, despite me having thrown my bag around on the floor. I've been using JanSport since I was in elementary school, and it still serves my needs as a college student. Thus, I definitely still recommend it!

purchased this bag for my daughter since she already had a janSport and she loves it.

Incomplete information in Amazon description
Yes, this is a 1 liter, blue, PBA free water bottle, but they don't tell you on Amazon not to use carbonated beverages in it. And that's how I start my day. It would cost too much in shipping to send it back, so I'll use it as a water bottle, not as an oversize mug.
Rating :    
LOVE this fantastic, light, water-bottle!
I LOVE the CamelBak! This is my 2nd one. I bought the largest one as my first one and a dark color and used it for my green juices to the point where I could not get the smell and taste out of it no matter how I washed it so remember to have a dedicated CamlBak just for your water. This one is the 0.75L one and is a light color so I can see the water. The Orange is a lovely color. I take this everywhere from cycling to yoga to driving around to bed with me. You can drink from the Big Bite Valve without spilling water anywhere so it's lovely to drink in bed. Thanks to the CamelBak, I drink more water, measure my water, find drinking water exciting and absolutely love having this reliable form of water bottle so I never ever use water bottles again which is much better overall. I highly recommend this product to anyone and especially if you are an athlete !!

Probably the best water bottle you can buy!
I'm very picky about my water bottles, but I think I found "the one." I got the 32 oz. black one with bite valve, and I know that drinking two of them a day will get me my 64 oz. daily requirement. It's fun to drink from the bite valve, but you really gotta suck on it. Luckily, you can interchange other Camelbak caps. It's definitely spill-proof. Love the carry handle. A bit hard to clean the bite valve, but I take a q-tip and that works. Very happy with this bottle.

Great Bottle
I've been really happy with this bottle. It holds enough water for a workout, or a short hike, and shows exactly how much water you consume via the markings on the bottle. Easy to clean and care for.
Rating :     
Pretty good
I used the .75 size version of this product three times a week for almost two years before it needed replacing. It started to make a "farting" noise when I would drink from it, which is kind of embarrassing, so now I'm replacing it with a new one. I use this as my water bottle for the gym. I really like how I can hold it on my pinky finger via the little handle, as opposed to having to grip it with my hand as I walk around the gym. I like how it seals up, so that I can toss it in my bag. It sometimes leaks a bit, though, when I store it on its side. But, again, it's two years old. I run it through the dishwasher about once a month. Otherwise I just use hot water.
The one downside is that you can't drink a ton of water quickly from it. With a plastic water bottle, I squeaze the bottle and drink a lot of water within 2-3 seconds. This camelbak doesn't allow you drink a huge volume of water as quickly. But that's not a problem for my purposes.
The 1L size of this product is too big to fill up via drinking fountain at the gym. It's also too heavy to put on my pinky finger. The .75 size is perfect for my needs.
One thing: you do look somewhat silly drinking out of this product. You're basically sucking a nipple, and you don't tip the product while drinking, so it's not even obvious that you're drinking water. Kinda weird, but I don't care.

Customer Review :
Hopefully she never has to use it
My girlfriend recently moved downtown to a fairly sketchy neighborhood. Not of age to own a gun, I went with the next best thing: Pepper Spray. I read pepper spray is better than mace and just dominates the attacker to I went with this. Test spray went perfectly. The handy key chain allows for easy carry and no excuse to not have it at all times. Hopefully she never has to use it, but just in case she'll be taking down her assailant and making them feel retarded with this pretty pink pepper spray.
Rating :     
Good
Got it very quick. Haven't had to use it but I tested it outside, everything seems to work fine. Lets hope I don't have to use it! But I like knowing I have it. Good size & stylish.
Rating :    
Love the safety and love the look
I like having this product on my keychain. It definitely makes me feel safer. I also like that it's easily removable - pepper spray can't be taken into large events (security will take it from you), so it's easy to just unclip and leave in the car when necessary. I've only accidentally sprayed it once, which is incredible for me because I fiddle with everything, so the closing latch is pretty secure. And aside from the safety factor...it's PINK! I actually get a lot of surprised compliments from people - including dates.
Rating :     
Great for Every-Day Carry/Gift
This SABRE product was purchased as a gift for a real estate agent - she now happily carries it at ALL times. Its pink case makes it more attractive, and subsequently more likely to be carried in hand/in the open (Sitting at the bottom of a purse is often useless). The size of the spray/case is reasonable, and it is light enough to attach to any key chain & carry. Great product for women who are reluctant to carry an 'intimidating' product...not to mention, the price is right & it supports a good cause.
Rating :     
Great Product for Every Women to have
I am a college student who takes mostly night classes. I did a lot of research before I bought this pepper spray. It came in perfect condition and looks exactly like it did on the website. I have not had a chance to use it (I hope I never have to), but knowing I have it makes me feel better when walking alone. I did test it out in an open field away from everyone to see if it works and I had no problem with spraying it or putting the safety on. It fits in my purse and I have it on my keychain.

Nice and good price.
Very sturdy and 5 zippered compartments along w/ places for pens, etc. Have a young child who has lots of heavy books, so needed something durable but young-girl-looking. She loves it in the pink w/stars, and it will last--lifetime guarantee!

jansport backpack
I got this backpack 4 years ago, the summer before my freshman year of high school. I love it. It has a ton of compartments for you to put things in and it's huge. It fit all of my binders/notebooks perfectly every year and it didn't feel too heavy at all. I'd also take it with me when I was travelling and such. I think that the quality of this backpack is amazing -- it still works perfectly fine today, except the color has faded a little and a strap tore a tiny bit (easily fixed). If you're looking for a fairly large, useful, and durable backpack, this one is definitely worth the money.

Question : What do residents in San Antonio do for outdoor recreation?
Is hiking popular? Are there lakes for boating? Are there places for ATV riders? How far is the recreation areas fromthe city? Thanks.
Answer:
The nearest lake with the full range of waterborne activities is Canyon Lake. Canyon Lake is a beautiful setting on the crystal-clear Guadalupe River about 45 minutes northeast of the city. Take I-35 towards Austin. Go through the town of New Braunfels and exit at Hwy 306. Turn left and go about 20 miles then look for the signs.New Braunfels itself is a great place for outdoor activities. It has two clean spring-fed rivers, the Guadalupe and the Comal that flow through it. The water is cold but it's a fabulous time. Tens of thousands of people from all over Texas come here every summer to go tubing on the rivers in New Braunfels.New Braunfels is also home to Schlitterbahn, rated by the Travel Channel as America's best waterpark. Other than that, the only major outdoor activity that San Antonio is really known for would be the Riverwalk. It's a beautiful stretch of the San Antonio River in downtown SA that's very beautiful and is lined with many shops and restaurants. You can take a boat tour in this area as well or rent a paddle boat.Nearby Austin also has many opportunities for outdoor adventure. Barton Springs is a spring-fed swimming pool run by the city. Also, Lake Travis is a huge, clean lake to the west of the city with ample boating and fishing opportunities. Lake Travis is also home to Hippie Hollow, Texas' only legally-sanctioned, clothing-optional beach (well, it's not truly a beach - there's no sand - but there's no shortage of large flat rocks to lounge on).Austin's about an hour northeast of SA on I-35. To get to Lake Travis/Hippie Hollow, take I-35 north to Austin. Exit at HWY 71 (Ben White Blvd) and turn left (a new interchange was under construction last time I was there so it may just be a matter of taking the right ramp). After a couple of miles, HWY 71 splits off to the left. Follow the signs for "Capital of Texas Highway," HWY 360. This is a gorgeous drive with great views of Austin. Continue until you pass over Lake Austin on the large Pennybacker Bridge (it's big - it's metal - it's impossible to miss). After the bridge, exit and turn left onto HWY 2222. Then just follow the signs.
