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

Hmm, I didn't have that problem. It does need to be facing the right direction, but I assume you've thought of that. I sometimes have to give it a good push to get it clipped in. But I find it more difficult to get it unclipped. Are you having a problem with both sides? Might want to see if you can get your swing exchanged.

No, at least not when I've used these bottlestoppers. My suggestion is to just make sure you push the stopper all the way in before placing the bottle on its side.

The boxes we received in our latest shipment have compartment walls that are thicker, and so some of the bottles that used to fit no longer do. We've received feedback from customers recently that the DoTerra bottles are too wide. So, until we receive new inserts, we're not recommending these for the DoTerra and Young Living bottles.

I didn't notice any swinging when I used them. That's not to say they won't but I just didn't notice any. They worked very well for me.

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.

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.

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!

Paul, i have one and its scores perfectly (with a bit pf practice, of course) i cut all kinds of bottles -wine, liqueur, soda - but this is to score it not slice through. I have found that it matters on the quality of glass your scoring. Beer bottles are about the lowest quality of glass you can use. I can get maybe one bottle to score/cut properly for my uses out of far too many. And don't use that tap thingy. Just use the hot cold water 'stress' method and the results are very promising. Yet this all take practice and a good recycle bin in the interm.

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

Unlikely. Most of the complaints have been from folks using something other than a Nathan bottle.

No, but yea STracing makes some with nylocks and I have never had a problem with them been using them for almost 2 months now with multiple a arms

You need to hit something firm. A practice ball works as well. Just swinging without hitting something won't register anything on the app. Hope this helps.

That was my initial response. I should've updated! Once the soars stretch out a bit from use, they all fit the 15ml bottles. The end slots are the "loosest" to begin with.

The arm does not actually swing. If it did, it would throw off the cantalever and the table would become unstable. The table top does swivel. I was kinda bumed about that myself. It is pretty nice though. No other product I researched was any more convenient. Maybe if they made the base round it could swivel.

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.

I don't know, but I will say that removing the sleeve on these bottles is a non-starter. Tried to do it to clean them. Nearly impossible to not rip it and if you do it goes back on loosely and never fits right again.
