I would like to use this for walking. Will this hold a water bottle in one of the loops - can't tell if the loop is large enough to hold one or not?

No this belt would not work very well for holding water bottles there are several other brands out there that are really good for walking and holding water bottles Nathan is one of them

No, the loops are just large enough to hold energy gells. There are some other companies that make hydration belts that may work for you.

No, the loops are designed to hold Gu or other fuel packets, they are way too small for a water bottle. And I don't think the elastic is strong enough to support the weight with a bottle holder attached. Great for a phone and fuel though.

It would have to be a REALLY TINY water bottle .... The loops are designed for 1-ounce gel packets.

There is 1 water bottle holder that works for every size and shape I have had(which is many) and it could easily fit another in the main pocket so yes.

You should NOT use the top loop to hook this canteen onto your pack. First, over time, using the loop as a carrying handle will unseat (or maybe wear/stretch?) the plastic center piece in the lid (the plastic "rivet" the loop hooks onto at the top of the canteen lid) and will cause the canteen to leak substantially when not in the upright position. (The water leaks through the top of the "rivet" area.) Second, the strap is not that strong, and over time would likely break if you carry it that way.

I think the loops in the front can be used for anything. You can clip things to them. They are sturdy. No official water bottle holder, but the bag is a very nice size and can carry one in the front pocket easily. I bought this for my son for school starting his second grade year. He went through a whole year of carrying heavy items and is now on his way to third grade and it will be his bookbag again! He LOVES it!!!

I have used it for hiking only, but I think it would be fine for biking. The water bottle holders are small, however, and it would be best to carry water some other way.

I think wider will even better, because this holder is kind of big, normal size water bottle will be a little lose in it.

This product is not designed for a water bladder. It's for holding a water bottle

No, it has a long enough strap for it to be carried cross-body style, or velcro for wearing on the arm/leg. However no loops at all. I'm thinking you might be able to rig something up with the straps, and attach it to loops using a carabiner?

Sorry I didn't see this sooner...no it won't hold a water bottle.This is a small bag.

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.

Yes it will. I use one of these to hold drinking water in a plastic container. The locking piece may not fit though because of the container top. I just use a bungee cord.

Absolutely - you slip it in a stretchy mesh pocket that's inside the zippered side pouch, and then there's a stretchy lanyard you can slip over the top of the bottle and tighten for total security. I always have one with me. The maker's website has a video that demonstrates this and other features. I really love this bag, have it with me in China right now. A 16 oz bottle fits fine

While it has many many many slots for different things, it does NOT have a slot made specifically for a water bottle. The front-most pocket is large enough for a water bottle but it's not designed for it (and thus doesn't give you immediate access to it). FYI - I am very happy with the backpack.

I use it for work and put a hooded sweatshirt with a binder into it. It's a little tight but I believe it will fit. It expands quite a bit. The top pouch I don't believe will hold a water bottle but the lower one will.

I wouldn't recommend that, cause if you do, the bottle will be swinging from side to side all the way you walk and probably the loop will not last for long then...

There is a hard plastic loop ~1.5cm in diameter. I always carry it in a pouch/pocket, and use the loop to secure the bottle from lifting out. When it is full, the movement will eventually break the loop if you use it to carry the bottle.

The water bottle pockets are on the day pack and they're pretty shallow. The 32oz might fit width wise (maybe) but the bottle would surely continuously fall out (speaking from experience). If the water bottle has a loop on top from which you can attach a carabiner to secure to the bag then it might work otherwise I'd say no.
