Fitletic Add-on: 8oz Water Bottle Holder. Bottle Included

I have not been able to master sipping water from paper cups at race aid stations without stopping. If I try to keep running, even at a reduced pace, the water ends up either over my face or in my lungs. Even a slow walk brings the same result. I do have a Camelbak type backpack that I use for long summer training runs but it's too heavy and cumbersome to wear in a race without loss of efficiency. To hydrate during races I started looking at belt mounted water bottles as I can drink from sippy bottles while running without issue. The problem I encountered was that all models seem to include additional zip pockets and other weight that I did not need. I just want to carry water with the minimum additional weight I can get away with. This product came up as an alternate that I thought I could just clip to my gel belt. This may work for cycling that has little up and down movement like running but my gel belt is elastic and not able to support the 2 bottles securely as they are too heavy when filled with water and jump up and down. My solution is to attach the bottles to a camping compression strap used as a belt (I used the Molle Backpack Accessory Straps - Quick Release Buckle) as this is as light as a gel belt but none elastic. I also added small safety pins inside the water bottle holder pouch to stop the bottles from sliding around the belt while running and a bulldog clip which attaches to the top of my shorts to stop the belt sliding around my waste. The clip looks clumsy and uncomfortable but it works perfectly and I can't feel it while running. To summarize, the setup is a great light weight solution to marathon/half marathon hydration. I have had no issues with the bottles leaking and they only dispense water when inverted and squeezed.

I needed to replace some bottles that were several years old. I noted active runners were using this brand and model of bottle, and I am glad I got two; the holster is comfortable and fits very well. There is a safety loop to fit around the top of the bottle but the holster holds it so snugly, it’s main purpose is adding more reflective material on the tabs of the loop for night visibility. The inner hack of the holster has a nylon backing that you can feed the ends of your running belt through. You might be able to add up to 4 bottles if you purchased more and wanted to double what liquid you are carrying as you train. I recommend you get a belt of solid weave Nylon as they would bounce a lot if your belt is loose - made of elastic material. But this bounce issue is true for any belt if you intend to run with water weight.

These add-on bottle holder fits perfectly on my iFitness hydration belt. It's pretty easy to get the bottle in the holder and it fits tightly inside. I like the bungee cords to ensure bottles stay in place, even though it's really not needed. I wear the bottles in the back of my belt. Sometimes it's a little difficult pulling it out with one hand while I'm running because it's so snug. It's better than having it pop out! I like the squeeze mechanism of the spout on the bottles. I have two of these in which I carry water in one and electrolytes in the other. They never leak. The only problem is that the carbonation of the electrolytes causes fluid to squirt out occasionally while I'm running, especially if the bottle is full. Overall, the bottle and holder work great!

Work perfect on my fitletic belt bottles fit snug .. they are easy to get in and out while running

I've used these bottles just once, but found them very easy to add to my SPI belt. I didn't have any problems with leaks or anything else. I love that I can customize the number of bottles needed, based on what kind of exercise I'm doing and the environmental conditions. I previously owned a hand-held water bottle and a 4 bottle fuel belt. I like that I can choose to bring one or more bottles, and not have more or less water than I need. The price is very good, too. I would have paid more for one hand-held Nathan bottle, than for both of these. One thing to be careful of is not to spray back in your throat, it will make you cough. The stream is pretty strong, so make sure not to aim too high in your throat.

I purchased these bottles to compliment the Fitletic Ultimate Race Belt II. Fits perfectly, no wobble or bounce. Although I've read and witnessed complaints about these bottles leaking, my bottles/caps do not leak in any way. I frequently have to dash out the door and end up throwing my just filled bottles into my bag and head out the door. It has never leaked or poured water onto anything. My friend who has the same bottles frequently leaks, but we figured out that she is over filling her bottles which causes the water to 'jump' out of the cap while running. We poured a little water out and it solved her problem. They are the perfect size, shape, and functions exactly as stated. They fit snugly in their holder and you don't really even need to attach the bungee loop atop the cap if you didn't want to. I've also run them through the dishwasher and they stayed true to form. My only complaint with the bottles is that I taste the plastic. The plastic taste is even more pronounced when I'm on my longer runs and the water is warm. I've tried soaking in water with lemons to remove the taste but its still there. I just run with gatorade in the bottles now, and when I do run with water, I taste the gatorade. Obviously the bottles absorb or else I wouldn't be tasting anything, but tasting water with an essence of Gatorade is better than drinking water with an essence of plastic.

Love these!

Perfect fit

Used this with my "Freindly Swedew running belts and and it has been excellent. it stays in place as run does'nt wobble about and is reasonably easy to get out of the holster. The bottle is just right size for short runs of around 6 to 10 miles any thing over and you would most likely need 2.The bottle is a little hard to squeeze but you get used to it.

Facile d'utilisation, petite sangle elastique pour empecher qu'elle ne se détache par accident. Se rajoute facilement à tout type de ceinture. J'aurais aimé une gourde un peu plus grosse mais c'est déjà bien.

Produit semble de bonne qualité cependant j'ai été surpris de ne recevoir qu'une gourde alors que les images illustraient 2 gourdes. C'est trompeur... Et du coup je trouve cela cher 20€ la gourde.

love this little water bottle fits onto a gel belt i have and is great for shorter runs if i think i need water.sits comfortable on belt and doesn't bounce around like some water bottles do on other belts ....i would highly recommend
