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.

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 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.

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.

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.

I have not yet worn this while riding but I have worn it for 13 hrs on 2 consecutive days and not felt like it was uncomfortable or cutting off circulation or anything.. The way they do the stitching on the back of the knee seems to make it not bunch as much. Now, the other day I sat in a low chair with no leg room and that wasn't comfortable (I'm 6'2" so my legs were very bent). I had to pull it off. Other than that, no problems. I think it would work great for cycling. Give me a week and I'll probably have taken it out on a ride. In any case, I don't think u can go wrong. It's about as comfortable a brace as I've ever had. Way better than the neoprene ones I've had.

Maybe you've already answered this for yourself, by now, but if not, here goes. There is a "tacky", non-slip surface on the side of the wide part of the sling that rides against your clothing. It basically "grips" by friction. Hope that helps.

I am 6'3" and wear a 35 inch sleeve. I love them but, I wish I had another inch or two. Of course it depends on the fit of your bike. I prefer to put more of my elbow on the pad versus the forearm in front of the elbow. When I put the forearm on it creates a bit of a lever and I actually have to hold onto the bar end. With the elbow on it I can just rest my hands. I find it more relaxing. These things are a great. They take the stress off your arms and shoulders and allow you to relax. I love them.

Diagonal like over one shoulder and under the opposite armpit? Yes, but that would probably feel worse. Or if you mean straight across your chest like you'd wear it around your waist just higher, I suppose. I was worried about how it would feel around my waist as well, and don't feel it at all when I run. It has efficient size adjustments, so you can make it tight enough so that it doesn't move when running. Hope that helps.

I work with it on and it can get knocked out pretty easily. I don't run very much any more. I went for a little jog this morning and I think I would be able to run with it. A hard run I don't know my knees won't let me do that anymore

My biggest complaint is the pressure on my ankles. You can sometimes get situated where it doesn't hurt. But its a hit and miss every time in my experience.

Mine bounces. What is the best way to adjust it to eliminate the bounce? Is it the joint where you tighten it with that super long-stemmed tool they give you? I have tightened it there but it still bounces.

I find the anke holders surprisingly comfortable...as long as I'm wearing shoes. I've tried it without shoes and it placed too much pressure on my ankles feet. I use my running shoes and they absorb most of the pressure. The ankle braces have a quick release that will snap into place when most snug against your ankles...but it's not so snug that it cuts off circulation or anything.

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.

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

Because it is synthetic leather it is less stiff and should conform easier to your horses shape. My horse just loves it because it is lighter, softer, and forms to his shape alot better then a real leather one.

No problems with leaks during runs here either, up to a half marathon. The only problem is when I first load up my Nuun. I just squeeze it a little to release the pressure and it's fine. Of course, if I let the bottles sit upside down in the car, that's another story.
