Does it get in the way of running? I hate it when my elbows hit the bottles. Any reason it would be uncomfortable while riding/running with horses?

The water bottles don't hit my elbows and I have long arms. I couldn't tell you about riding I don't ride with them.

Turn the bottles so they curve in - then you won't hit them. A bit harder to pull out while running but not a big issue.

Hi Karen, I'm training for my first marathon. I have a slipped disc and IT band issues, and this is what best worked for me. I tried common stretching exercises and massages, nothing worked like this. So in my personal experience, after having it for almost a year, it's firm, it didn't change from the first use. Hope this answers your question.

My arms do not. I am 5'4 , female and I haven't had an issue with the bottles hitting my arms

That's a awesome question lol. I think you may be bent over to much causing your elbows to dig through the pads which aren't toThick. They are inexpensive enough to try in my opinion. Just make sure you have room on your bars.

i go running with mine. i sweat a lot. no problems with slippage. also, i've thrown in ear plugs and used these things while operating a jackhammer. pretty nice to have something interesting (Darn Carlin's Hardcore History) to listen to while working.

Eh... not really. I personally have to stop and take the thing off. I usually can't see the screen if I'm running in sunlight, and I have to wear it with the screen on the outside of my arm (as opposed to the side closer to my body) to prevent it rubbing in my elbow crease or against my chest. This means I can't see it without loosening it and turning it towards me. It's still probably the most durable and functional armband I've come across. I have reached the conclusion that there's just not a perfect one out there.

I don't have this problem, so I can't help you. I empty the bottle immediately after each ride and leave the top off until I fill it again. I also never close the valve, since the bottle sits upright in my bike rack holder.

Was good for most rides. However, when the trail became very bumpy my experience was very different. I ride a small frame, so spacing and clearances are very limited. In bumpy conditions, the action of the rear suspension allowed the bottom of the bottle to rub the tire, damaging the attached cage and releasing the bottle.

No. Mine doesn't really move either. But since I'm not real sure what it's suppose to do, I just leave it alone. The bottle still works great without it

I have occasionally noticed a little "sweating", but never an issue with handling the bottle. Might be different in a more humid climate.

That's the way it is- it's not a good top design. You have to remove the cap of the big bottle and LEARN not to spill any water when turning it down onto cooler. It took me a good amount of getting used to it. I hope this helped. Happy No Spilling!

I have had mine for a while now and have experienced problems a few times. I've found that if I wear my iPhone on my right arm while running they work better than if my phone is anywhere else.

There is a little metal ball that moves whenever iyou squeeze contwiner. I never have put my finger over it since the little ball automatically covers the hole when squeezed. You can fill bottle up and sit it down and it doesn't leak cause the little ball blocks the hole. It is pretty neat. Shalom. {:0)

I have the same issue with my gelding, it fits and feels better than a saddle with a tree would (unless you get one custom) and is very comfortable. I will say that I learned to ride bareback so treeless was an easy transition, if you rely on the tree or stirrups to stay on then the saddle may roll. You also can't use it to mount from the ground (more rolling). Hope this helped.

Personally I think it is too squishy for running in place. I've tried jump roping and jumping jacks with it and I feel like it makes me too unstable so I use a thinner mat for stuff like that. Hope that helps :)

When full there may be a little splashing, especially if you hit a big bump. Once I have taken a few sips I don't notice any splashing. My roads are pretty bumpy. Overall I recommend using the aero bottle in all of the tri distances & training. I rarely ever take my tri bike out with out this bottle on.

I would not recommend it. The biggest reason is that your visibility is *really* limited. Also hearing is rather muffled. Like Nicole said, breathing is okay...but I don't know about while running for over 6 miles. Inhaling would be annoying in that you'll be try get your oxygen from hot moist spent air that you've just exhaled. Now if the race is a run/walk and someone (who's not wearing a mask) is steering you with a set of reins...that could work...well - if the person that's steering doesn't want to see you hurt. ;)
