Do the bottles impede arm swing? I ordered and received the Nathan 4 speed, but found that my arms kept hitting the bottles.

I put them low on my hips so they do not impede with my arm swing at all. I have the two bottles only though.

I've been using this pack for several months, and the bottles haven't really impeded my arm swing. Once or twice I my elbow barely brushed against a bottle, but I may not have put it on straight, and it wasn't an impedance. I think if you get the correct size for you it shouldn't be a problem. I love this pack!

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

The first bottle I received broke near the top when I dropped it after a month. I emailed customer service with a photo and they replaced my bottle. They were helpful and responded quickly. The second bottle is still working fine after a year of riding to work with it in the cage on mg bike. Sounds like you might have a defective one that they would probably replace if you send a photo and an explanation. Hope this helps.

I think so if the bottle is set on floor so child can use upper body to push down on pump. Our bottles are on the ground and requires that we bend over. Easiest way is to be able use a sraight arm from the shoulder. But little force is required.

I use this product on a BOB stroller. It doesn't swing when I run. I think this is because I use a hardened water bottle, which provides some rigidity. I don't recommend putting in solo cups or other flimsy plastic cups, it is hard to get them out and they tend not to be tall enough.

In my case I already had the metal stakes, about 6 feet high, that I inserted the bottles in. So I cannot speak for what is being sold here. But I have never had any problems with swaying, etc., even when the bottles have been full. It would seem to me that the minimal wind resistance offered by the stakes and bottles would result in hardly any swaying, assuming the stakes were firmly in the ground (mine go into the earth about 8 inches). And if the wind were that strong anyway, the flames would blow out...

Well - the bottle tends to spin with the motion of the opener. You would need some way to secure the bottle so it wouldn't spin. If you did that, it could be done with one hand.

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

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.

They are a slower flow but not sure about the bottles. I use glass bottles...

Glen, my initial thought was no because the pouches are sort of oval-shaped to fit the bottles that come with the belt. However, I just tried it and it worked. I was easily able to slide a standard 16 oz water bottle in and out of the pouch. My only question is would my elbows be hitting it if I tried to run with it that way. The 16 oz water bottle stuck out considerably higher than the 8 oz bottle that comes with the belt. I added two pictures to my review to show you the 16 oz water bottle in one holster as compared to the fitletic bottle in the other holster.

I actually had no problem opening any of my bottles. I just use both thumbs and push on the part where the wires twist around which causes the top to flip and you just swing it down.

Hello Marsha,I ride a BMW r1200c, which is a bit of a lightweight for a cruiser. With that in mind, I would say that for my bike, my bar height, and the speeds I ride that I have notice a difference, and quite like the bar weights.Not knowing how your bike is set up, you might not get the result you hope for.Reduced vibration, yes. Added grip length, yes. Less hand numbness, yes. That was enough for me. I would do it again, and I would recommend them fro the most part.ride safe. JPB

I did use them on one 5k row (stationary rower) and they worked ok. There is not any rotation of the hand or sustained weight pulling against them and it was fine. I would still go with a different option for the price tag. I saw a pair of these on eBay recently starting at $0.99 bid and asked the seller what they thought. He had a very negative opinion as well. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Ms./Mr. Dricoll: I never had a problem with the handle sticking. I remember using it constantly (squeezing it multiple times with no problem). Be sure the bottle is inserted tightly, and it is full of liquid. If the bottle is low, the squeeze handle doesn't work smoothly. I hope this helps.

I have never had this problem and I have whacked the balls against one another as well as myself countless times LOL. I've had mine for quite some time now, use them regularly, and have had no problems whatsoever. I would try to contact the seller if I were having those issues.

No, I am sorry we only offer the smooth bottles. I will certainly look into those design bottles and see if this company even carries those.
