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 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.

I put my arm in a sling and if I held the bar infront of me instead of the side handles I had no problems. Just start out slow and a good pace walk was no problem.. I'm 65yrs.old. Good Luck hope you heal soon. :)

It doesn't roll well on rough surfaces with the gas bottle installed because of small casters. If you have to roll it a sizeable distance on a bad surface, I would remove the bottle first.

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.

None. All terrible. I stopped a week into it because the pressure against my collarbone was too intense. I was worried about forming a bruise.

Yes, I teach horseback riding both in an indoor ring and large outdoor ring and hang it around my neck with the piece that I guess they tell you to put on your head around my neck......all of which is very comfortable summer or winter and does a wonderful job....not sure who loves it more, my students or me! I used to hold up a bull horn and it killed my arm, neck and shoulders.....this is SO comfortable. Hope this was helpful.....I would be happy to answer any other questions....

Hi Karen, I'm training for my first marathon. I have a slipped disc and IT band issues, and this is what best worked for me. I tried common stretching exercises and massages, nothing worked like this. So in my personal experience, after having it for almost a year, it's firm, it didn't change from the first use. Hope this answers your question.

OMG I have this exact same problem. I thought it was something I did "wrong".Yes I keep tripping over it and it has become a hazard, such as when carrying hot liquids for example.And annoying to boot.

If you have tendonitis in your elbow, it takes the pain away. From what I have heard, it stabilizes the tendon on both sides of your elbow. I was in constant discomfort and I as soon as I put it on it I was able to workout again. I wore it for several months, and the pain went away. I don't have to use it very much anymore.

my understanding is the gas is heavier than air and sits on top of the wine. I push the corks back in as far as possible so they don't leak the gas out. If the cork is in there, jostling shouldn't matter.

Its great for running but use the side straps so it doesnt bounce. It can be hard to breathe when using all 50 lbs.

Well, for me great for support and it help my elbow recover from injury. I guess you can use it for mud runs?

My arms do not. I am 5'4 , female and I haven't had an issue with the bottles hitting my arms

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 go running with mine. i sweat a lot. no problems with slippage. also, i've thrown in ear plugs and used these things while operating a jackhammer. pretty nice to have something interesting (Darn Carlin's Hardcore History) to listen to while working.
