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

What kind of bottles are you using? I've been using Sierra Nevada and Firestone Walker bottles and they go down 180°, but some 22oz bottles don't go all the way. Even for some that cap and don't go 180°, they were fine. After you cap a bottle, try really hard to twist it off. Shouldn't budge; if it does, use a different bottle. Hope this helps.

I haven't opened the 3 pack yet; I had purchased two other singles; I'm working with them and so far so good, they are lasting longer. Thank you for checking. If anything changes, I'll let you know. I am adding additional comment after reading other answers: No problem with SLOWNESS. I do as the others stated, I fill 2 25oz bottles to take to work, and fill the pitcher container before I go. On the weekends, I have not noticed it moving slowly - I would say normal - within a 1-2 minutes I have a full container.

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.

I was concerned about this as well. However the swing works just fine as long as the chain is square at the top to the seat. I left the bottom eye bolt out just.a bit from the bottom so that the chain does not touch the arm rest. Works well.

The gold pierced lattice style canisters I've had use tall & round bottles, not the classic spray bottle that I see here. I've not seen an outer shell that encases these smaller bottles. I've had difficulties locating the refills for the canister in the past and have found it easier to switch back to these classic style spray bottles.

That will be a tight fit. You'll need to find something to tap the bottle from the inside and the neck area might not have enough room for an object to fit in, swing and hit the inside of the neck.

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.

Haven't had that problem with the bottles I've purchased. Sorry I couldn't help!

I bought mine to be used with the Nathan bottles that I already owned. In response to your question, I tried a Deer Park 16.9 bottle in the sling and the fit is loose. Not so much that the bottle would fall out, but the top of the sling is all the way to the top of the bottle. You'd have to push the sling out of the way or unzip it if you want to drink without taking the bottle out of the sling. Would probably work better with a bottle of water one size up (like the ones with the sports top).

Yes. There is an adjustable strap to wrap around the neck of a larger bottle that should avoid that problem. But I bought smaller bottles while traveling (12 ounce??) and they didn't reach the strap.

nah, they tend to skip and hop when I try to slide with them. You CAN slide with them, in fact I learned how to slide with them. They're just not great for it. They're great cruising wheels, they're big and soft and they keep momentum well.

I believe that always happens. I turn the bottle on it's side and slowly tighten the cartridge holder till I feel resistance. Then I screw it the rest of the way as fast as I can. It is a design flaw. They should have recessed the piercing pin further into the holder. I have not lost the whole thing yet but you really have to work fast to save as much of the cartridge as possible.

Not standard bottles, no. They need to have the holes for the Swing Tops on the bottles to work.

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.
