Comments:

We have been thru 3 of these trying to find 2 that didn't leak.

Purchased 1st one from REI.

Received ... tested ... lid leaked around gasket.

Emailed REI customer service ... got a reply within 30 minutes
(amazing). They shipped a replacement item same day and
put a note in my account that I had 30 days to return defective item.
Replacement arrived in 2 days.

Replacement product was fine .... returned leaker with prepaid postage
sticker from REI.

Needed a 2nd water container and assumed the problem with the first
was  a fluke.

Went to order from REI, but the same product was no longer available.

Hummm ... should have been a warning.

Found the same item at Campmor (love that store too) and ordered.

Arrived, tested ... leaks much like the 1st item.

Upon further inspection there seems to be a defect in the lid gasket.

In the process of retuning the Campmor order .... hope their customer
service is half as good as REI.

BTW .... we have a REI store opening in Santa Fe on 9/12 ... very
excited.

Damn I gotta get a life
