Customer Review: Perfect water carrier
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I use the carriers, three of them to haul water daily to my horses during the cold
Maine winters. They are the perfect capacity and of the utmost durability. PERFECT!

Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Because of the spout location, it is a water jug that can be used in a variety of ways!Customer Review: Storing water
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I bought one of these and one Reliance brand water jug to test them out. We are trying to have long-term water storage in case of emergencies. I plan to purchase several more of my preferred product for storage.
This product has not leaked in the three months I've had water stored in it. The shape is reasonable and the plastic seems thick and durable. We are not dispensing water from it frequently, so I can't comment on the durability of the spigot. We did opt to wrap a plastic sandwich baggie around the exposed spigot so, if we need to drink the water, the spigot won't be filthy with basement dust. I also accidentally spilled out a gush of water after I filled the jug because it was not obvious that the spigot was open when I tipped it onto its side to check the seal.
In the end, I do prefer the Reliance jug and will be ordering more of that brand. The Reliance spigot stores inside the cap (in the water) which seems less likely to get damaged. Also, that brand was labeled BPA-free, but this Coleman product didn't mention whether it contains BPA. Finally, as a non-athletic woman in her 30's, the 2.5 gallon size Reliance container is more suitable for my ability to easily move the heavy filled jugs around as needed.
Customer Review: tough enough
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
The positive reviews convinced me to purchase a couple of these water carriers, and they do meet my expectations. For the uninitiated, HDPE (high-density polyethylene) is a tough, food-safe plastic frequently used in applications like detergent bottles, playground furniture, and other demanding applications. I trust these containers to be there when I need them.
Everyone should have a few of these stashed away somewhere, filled, in their vehicle or dwelling in case your water supply is disrupted. Just keep in mind that a gallon of water weighs approximately 8.3 lbs, meaning less physically-capable people need to work with smaller containers.
