Do the bottles typically stay in front of you or sit on your back?

I've seen them in pictures on the back which didn't make sense because the bib holder should go on the front. I find them more comfortable in front. I tried them both ways. Hope that helps. :)

I wear the pack with the snap in the back so the water bottles are in front (easy to get to). They dont leak - even when running and getting bounced around. Really nice.

Too hard to get at the pouch if it's behind you. I wear the bottles on the front where everything is easy to get to. Very comfortable.

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.

The S-Type is intended to be worn on the left side of the body (with the strap crossing over to ride on top of the right shoulder) while the standard pack is worn on the right side of the body. The water bottle pocket is at the rear when worn "correctly", and the connection points for the strap make it such that it will naturally lay directly at your side or slightly behind the hip. It is possible to wear either one "backwards" (on the opposite side) in a pinch, but the ergonomics are laid out such that you will want to buy the one that will work for your preferred side under most use.

I have never had a problem with the lid staying back while drinking. The lid is pretty sturdy and once you pop it up, it stays up.

No, only straight back. There is also no standing 'locking' position. You can prop it up on cosmetics pouch.

Forgot to add, the product description should specify if they are front or back.

If you lay the bottles on their side, at least a case. Also depends on how much ice. We use lots of ice in Florida since it is still so hot.

Mine are not the same way, the tubes in my purchase do reach the bottom of the bottles.

I'm 5ft and think the seat is comfortable w/ an ottoman. I would say sittin up straight the back comes up to mid shoulder blade area and seat goes to back of knee. If u lounge you can have ur bottle at edge if seat and back at neck height

We do have 2 sizes in ours and both sizes have spare room on sides. I like this style as it is taller than most. Lightweight but sturdy once bottles are placed in it.

The tops are like a cap that you push on to lock them in and push up on them to open. Then you can drink from the bottle as if it were a soda can (I guess that would be upside down). You do not need to squeeze the bottles to get the water out, gravity does the work for you. These bottles are great for hikes or the gym. They keep a solid lock when the cap is pushed down and this keeps water from coming out if dropped or if you want to lay them on their sides. I hope this helps.

Hi Nancy, it is smooth and flat your bottles will not tip over. I loved this so much I purchased two more.

Having the bottles face either way works well. Larger format bottles also fit.

Not standing upright. I've fit 3-4 bottles and a cooler pouch but they have to lay down.

Hi Fiona. I keep my chair next to the wall because I know it is made of foam and not very sturdy. It's difficult to answer your question because it depends on how much of your body is leaning over the top of the chair and the angle of your lean. The top of the chair is velcroed to the bottom of the chair. To be on the safe side, I would not recommend an adult of your size leaning on the back of this type of chair unless the chair is up against a wall.

I have the 4R but I only ever use 2 bottles at the back. On the front, they just wobble too much. It's ok for holding empties, but I can't run with them full.

It would be hard to mount it from the back. The bottle is removed from the back of the mount to refill it.
