Always happy to find something new to add to my (nearly) fully-stocked gear loft, I found the need to purchase an insulated bottle for a hot drink, after devoloping a mild chill during a lunch break at the fall Squam trip. I stumbled upon this beauty that keeps drinks too hot for immediate sipping, but works great if prepped before retiring for the night (credit to Rob), for consumption pre-launch and on-water paddling. Truly a one-handed operation, a definite bonus feature. Not a tea or coffee drinker, but a perfect receptacle for my hot maple syrup (diluted of course) "cider". http://www.amazon.com/Thermos-Vacuum-Insulated-Stainless-16-Ounce/dp/B00K7CZHK4/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1420203182&sr=8-9&keywords=16oz+thermos#customerReviews Other additions to the loft in the past year are Luci solar light and kelty tarp poles. What handy gadgets/items have you acquired recently that I don't have? gary Note: As a minimilast consumer, I make the above recommendation with a small helping of reluctance.

For those of you with a Kokatat hydration system: Does water dribble or leak out of the bite valve if you apply pressure to the water bladder? The reason I ask is that I just bought the new Kokatat Poseidon PDF, which has a built-in hydration sleeve in the back to hold their 1.5 liter hydration reservoir. My initial test with a 1.5 L cycling hydration reservoir installed back there shows that tightening the PFD's side straps applies pressure to the back of the reservoir, forcing water up the tube and out the bite valve. This seems like a huge design flaw to me - the hydration pack should be in a stretchy compartment so you can tighten down the vest as much as needed without squeezing the water bag. I have a second 3L hydration system from Osprey that's much more resistant to dribbling, and has a shutoff valve at the bite end to completely stop leakage. How well does the Kokatat bite valve resist dribbling? -
