For the price, this is a great bike accessory. It is attractive and easy to install. It has three sturdy straps to hold it in place. It has plenty of room and a couple of small mesh pockets on the sides for keys, cash or other small items. The fabric is sturdy and over all its well constructed.The interior and exterior zippers aren’t well constructed and had to be restrung after only a couple of passes. It does come with a brightly colored rainfly as the bag isn’t waterproof.
This might actually be the most clever thing I have seen in years; I can think of so many uses for it beyond just fastening your bags to a stroller!
We are thinking about buying a few more, stamping grommets into our pool towels and using them to lock out towels out our sun chairs at the pool this summer – no more stolen towels!
My sister is heavily into couponing and, believe it or not, people will steal the coupon binders at the store ; I am ordering one for her birthday so she can lock her binder (it has handles) to the shopping cart.
This could even be used to lock your baby stroller to a bike rack if you have to leave it outside a building (such as indoor exhibits at the zoo).
Okay, for the specifics… It is easy to open, easy to program and the action on the lock is smooth. The padded handle is nice but I am wondering how long it will stay on. The clip itself is well made and very strong.
There is so much good about this bag that it’s difficult to decide where to start!
Well constructed of heavy canvas-type material (I’m not sure what the exact composition is)
Tough, sturdy zippers
Multiple types of interchangeable straps take it from a backpack to a suitcase to a messenger bag in a snap
Very, very roomy
Zipper to laptop pocket has a rain-fly for additional protection
I wish I had had these when my children were potty training but they are a must have for so many other reasons!
Most women have perfected the “stoop and squat” method of using public toilets so that we don’t have to sit on less-than-hygenic toilet seats but it kills our backs and thighs (not to mention those disgusting times when we lose out balance and end up on the toilet seat against our will – ick!).
These are much thicker than the tissue paper seat covers provided in public restrooms (which dissolve when they hit the wet seat anyway and isn’t THAT gross!) and they are large enough to overhang the seat to offer additional protection from dirty, germ covered surfaces. I will be ordering more to ensure that we always have a safe toilet seat at the public pool, the amusement park, in rest stops on the road – everywhere that makes me cringe to hear “I need to use the bathroom”!
I had really been wanting an infusion bottle for the gym and this is the second one that I have tested/reviewed. I like the size and the overall style. I have small hands and this is easy for me to hold without worrying about dropping it. The infusion basket is huge and the vents allow for good water flow over the fruit. The carrying loop is large and easy to
grip. The plastic of the actual bottle seems a little thin compared to other hard plastic bottles that I have; I am a little concerned about how well it will survive the bumps and bangs at the gym. Also the hard plastic clip that holds the lid closed seems small and is hard to lock into place; I am a little concerned about how it will last.
An excellent option for recipes for the infusion bottle is Fruit Infused Water: 101 Fruit Infused Water Recipes Fruit Infused Water: 101 Fruit Infused Water Recipes for Weight Loss, Detox and Metabolism Boosting Vitamin Water – you won’t be disappointed!
All in all, I think this bottle is a good value for the price but would probably do better for a person who is planning on using it for a less active (or more graceful) lifestyle than mine.
5 out of 5 stars
I was looking for a new gym bag when this caught my eye. From the seller details, I wasn’t sure that it was worth the money; if I had seen it first, I would have happily paid double the selling price! It is a gorgeous deep raspberry color (comes in several other, more neutral colors, as well) with a HUGE main pocket, a comfortable padded ADJUSTABLE strap and four smaller accessory pockets including a pocket on the strap that would be perfect for an I-pod. Did I mention the lifetime warranty? It’s awesome!
1. Does the bottle keep drinks cold for 24-36 hours? Yes, assuming that the drink contained ice when it was placed in the bottle. Plain cold water from the tap stayed discernibly cold about 5 hours which is still pretty impressive. When I filled the bottle with ice before adding the water, the was was still actually cold after 36 hours.
2. Does the bottle keep hot drinks hot for 12 hours? No. I placed boiling liquid in the bottle and 12 hours later it was just slightly lukewarm, no where near hot drink temperature. The bottle keeps hot drinks at a realistically hot drinking temperature for about 6-8 hours which, again, is pretty impressive but not the 12 hours claimed.
3. Does the bottle leak? No. As I was reading some of the other reviews, I noticed that some people complained about their bottle leaking. I filled mine with water, tightened the lid, and laid it at a 90% downward incline on a folded towel for three days. At the end of the three days, the towel was perfectly dry – my bottle shows no sign of leaking.
In my opinion, this is a solid 4 star product. I removed one star for it not living up to the sellers claim of keeping hot drinks hot for 12 hours.
I am really happy with this sunshade! It is large enough that it completely covers my Endeavor windshield, it unfolds and refolds for storage in, literally, a snap. It comes complete with a matching storage bag (one of my pet peeves is vehicle accessories that don’t come with a storage bag!) and, when folded into the bag for storage, takes up very little space. I saw several reviews that found fault with the seams so I gave mine a careful inspection before I posted and I can find no fault with the materials or the seaming/assembly – my shade appears to be very well assembled!
