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.

So far I've noticed that it causes discomfort only when exercising whether its running, doing squats, or lunges it begins to chafe. For normal walking and everyday use it does not bother unless I have it on for a long time. I wear it with running shoes (a pair of reebok realflex) so they actually open up more for my foot to fit with it and still stay comfortable. I tried it with a normal pair or addidas and it is uncomfortable after a short while.

The upper (forward) handle bars can be left off. I only use them to hang my headset on when I'm not riding. I find the lower handles more comfortable while exercising.

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 didn't experience that but I did wear it rather snugly. I liked that it was shorter than traditional ones and I used it while sailing in a small nutshell dinghy. But I will be using it with my kayak and may experience that too.

I used it for a short 10K trail running and after a few minutes in the trail I was Constantly having to stop to readjust the pack. With the two bottles full of water it becomes to heavy and loose stability while you are running. I think it is perfect for hiking, because you have plenty of room, but not for running.

OMG I have this exact same problem. I thought it was something I did "wrong".Yes I keep tripping over it and it has become a hazard, such as when carrying hot liquids for example.And annoying to boot.

Also, unless you really want to fold your 60 plus pound bike in half, scratching everything, huffing and puffing because you forgot to take the battry off... Etc. Get the Prodeco withOUT the hinged frame.... Ive since stopped playing that game. Ive rode over 2,000 miles on my Prodeco and after time, the bike will shake and vibrate unless you take the time to screw that hinge shut. It to me, is more of an inconvenience than an asset. Happy trails

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 to Thick. They are inexpensive enough to try in my opinion. Just make sure you have room on your bars.

Hi there...I use it for running and it's an amazing help. So much so that I bought a second one so I can use them on both knees. However, for squats or deadlifts I think they'd be uncomfortable. But again, I just use them for running so I can't ay for sure.

It doesn't roll well on rough surfaces with the gas bottle installed because of small casters. If you have to roll it a sizeable distance on a bad surface, I would remove the bottle first.

Its great for running but use the side straps so it doesnt bounce. It can be hard to breathe when using all 50 lbs.

Yes, I teach horseback riding both in an indoor ring and large outdoor ring and hang it around my neck with the piece that I guess they tell you to put on your head around my neck......all of which is very comfortable summer or winter and does a wonderful job....not sure who loves it more, my students or me! I used to hold up a bull horn and it killed my arm, neck and shoulders.....this is SO comfortable. Hope this was helpful.....I would be happy to answer any other questions....

I am not into running but I would think that it would cause a problem. I purchased mine as a result of the pain I was experiencing playing Golf. This brace was a lifesaver as far as playing golf was concerned. I have suggested to a couple of my golfing buddies and would suggest it for anyone with knee problems.

I haven't had that issue. I've worn them for 3 hour runs. Now the part that touches the top of the ear to wrap around the back get just a tad tender, but I have a feeling that is impacted by my winter hat pushing on it. Not at all a deal breaker for me. Overall, they are a great buy!

LOL, Are you calling me a fatty? No it's unstable and it's impossible to run at a steady pace. It feels like running on ice or down a very steep hill. The only way you can keep a steady pace is if you hang on to the handles but then I feel like i'm getting more of an arm workout rather than a good run.

I put my arm in a sling and if I held the bar infront of me instead of the side handles I had no problems. Just start out slow and a good pace walk was no problem.. I'm 65yrs.old. Good Luck hope you heal soon. :)
