| Clean Bottle
Jul 12, 2010 What makes the Clean Bottle really different is a screw-off bottom. Other than that, it’s your basic plastic bike/sport bottle. Still, we’re testers of products for goodness sake, so we thought we’d give it a try... Read Story | Comment on this story | Go to all Bottles / Hydration |
| PlatyPreserve Storage Bottle
Sep 7, 2009 Wine experts will tell you that, within a few hours of opening a bottle, the vino begins to go bad due to exposure to oxygen. We’re going to trust this claim, as the SNEWS team cannot recall an instance that we allowed a bottle to go unconsumed for more than, like, half an hour. We really like wine. Nevertheless, Cascade Designs has introduced the PlatyPreserve, a flexible plastic container that allows you to store leftover wine for days or even weeks.

| CamelBak Better Bottle Stainless
May 4, 2009 The SNEWS® team tested the 0.5-liter, insulated version of the Stainless “Better Bottle” for several months in cold and hot conditions and have decided, hands-down, we love it. Why? Primarily because its double-walled insulation keeps fluids cool – actually, it keeps them downright cold. Think vacuum-sealed container but with a sipper top.

| capCap by Human Gear
Mar 2, 2009 We’ve all been there – tipping our head back to take a drink from a wide-mouth bottle only to miscalculate or be bumped or jostled so you get most of it down your shirt. Enter the simple, inexpensive piece of gear called a “capCap” by a new little company called Human Gear, which was started by Stanford University design graduate Chris Miksovsky.

| Polarpak Moflow Pressurized Hydration System
Oct 13, 2008 At SNEWS® we prefer to test products that don’t suck. And Polarpak has built the virtue of not sucking directly into the design of the Moflow Pressurized Hydration System. Available as an aftermarket reservoir for hydration packs, the Moflow is not only a pretty good product, but it can also be pressurized to deliver a constant stream of liquid with a mere chomp on the bite valve.

| GoLite HydroSwift and HydroSprint bottle packs
Oct 6, 2008 For a runner, few things are more annoying than water bottle carriers that flop around when you’re on the go. GoLite has addressed the issue with its No Bounce bottle packs, available in six models. (Three of the packs include one bottle, and three include two bottles.) We tested both the HydroSwift and the HydroSprint models. Read Story | Comment on this story | Go to all Bottles / Hydration |

| CamelBak Podium sport bottle
May 19, 2008 We’ve tried all the new bottles from CamelBak, a company that until recently only did packs and reservoirs, but the new Podium is really impressive and presents a challenge to other bottle-makers. Read Story | Comment on this story | Go to all Bottles / Hydration |

| Gel-Bot bottles
Mar 24, 2008 No, not like Ro-bot, but like Gel-bottle. The Gel-Bot is truly one-of-a-kind: A bottle that has an internal flask, which holds close to two packets of sports gel, and a mechanism that allows one nozzle on the bottle to deliver either gel or water on demand. This is the kind of product that makes you want to give yourself a sharp whack on the forehead with the palm of the hand and say, loudly, "Duh! Why didn't I think of that?"

| Nathan Sports Pure Bottle
Apr 16, 2007 Despite being a leader in and advocate of hydration packs and belts, Nathan Sports has jumped into the competitive bottle fray with its Pure Bottle, a Lexan polycarbonate bottle featuring a flip straw bite valve. Read Story | Comment on this story | Go to all Bottles / Hydration |

| HydraCoach water bottle
Mar 12, 2007 Usually a water bottle just sits there kind of dumb, giving you water when you ask for it, but not telling you much of anything else. Of course, if it started talking to you, you'd also wonder what was in it, but we digress. Sportline has introduced what it calls "the intelligent water bottle" called the HydraCoach. When saw the first models in mid-2006, company representatives were quite adamant this really wasn't a bottle -- although it looked, smelled and felt like a bottle. Rather, they told us, it was a hydration COACH. What it does is calculate the amount of fluids you should personally drink a day (not accounting for extra needs based on activity or weather) and then measure how much you are drinking from this bottle, calculating ounces with every slug.

Fitnex E55SG Elliptical Sep 14, 2011 So many ellipticals can be large and pricy, and the though the smaller ones may have a lower price tag, what they give up to get there makes for a more wobbly ride that’s not as much fun. The Fitnex E55SG elliptical manages to be rather petite but still can hold its own when a user pushes it hard. Read Review | Comment on this review | Go to all Product Reviews |
