AMAZING water bottle

Rating for this product: 5 August 29, 2012

I took it backpacking with me. There was still ice in it when I came out 2 days later. I left one filled with ice and water in my car, and the water was still ice cold with some ice left. I had to buy one for every member of my family so they would leave mine alone. (I haven't had any problem with them leaking.)

This bottle is AMAZING. I work in a very HOT warehouse. Several of my co-workers have these and said that they were amazing. They are correct. I fill it with ice and water at 6:00 AM and then refill it with water all day. Some days there will still be ice in it when I go to wash it out at 9:00 that night. It is a little pricey, but it is worth every penny!!!!!

I work in a warehouse that gets extremely hot. We bring fans in to help make it more bearable, the 2nd shift likes to take them, and not return them to our desks. I use this lock to keep my fan from walking off. It wonderful to know exactly where I am going to find my fan every morning.

wore this shirt on our 50 mile trip down the Paria river to Lee's Ferry. kept it's cool and comfort in the 105 deg. weather. It didn't bunch up under the backpack. I plan on buying another one.

The compact size and light weight we're excellent for someone who is getting on in years and trying to reduce the backpack load. It took a lot of effort to inflate. A younger person might do it easier. Comfortable sleeping, good hip support. No bottoming out when sleeping on my side.

Just used the two Lafuma Warm'n Light 35 deg bags for the first time. Easy zip together. My wife and I loved them. Very comfortable. As we get older we're trying to down size and lighten up the packs. Ditto to what None (1) says above

Easy use. After about the third pool I rappelled into screw lock... a little stiff but still functioned like it was supposed to.

Easy on and off. Comfortable and secure feel when in use. Flexable enough when taking giant steps up or down boulders.

Used this harness on my first canyoneering trip. It was easy to get into and adjust. Felt very secure and comfortable throughout the canyon. It was flexible enough to navigate through a boulder field with huge step-ups.

Comfortable shoe. Very little break in time. Surpisingly very little sand got into and stayed in the shoe. Easy clean up with the hose at home.

I had to return this shirt because it ran way small in comparison to other shirts.
