Hydraform Handheld Thermal-Lite Water Bottle, BPA-Free, Insulated Sleeve, Storage Pocket for Running & Walking (20 oz.), Black

I acquired this about a month ago, and I have been using it on runs of about 5-6 miles. One of the big things I noticed was that the insulated sleeve accomplishes two insulation achievements. It definitely keeps the liquid inside the bottle cool; I generally fill the bottle halfway with water and then freeze it, and there is still ice in the bottle about 30 minutes into a run in ~80F temperatures. The other thing that it does is prevent the cold from the bottle being felt on one's hand - even with freshly-removed-from-the-freezer ice, I can only feel the barest hint of coolness through the sleeve. The strap that holds on the bottle can be adjusted in tightness, and generally I don't need to grip to the bottle too much as the strap holds my hand pretty firmly against the bottle, and the sleeve prevents any slippage. The pocket on the strap is big enough to hold keys and the like, but I wouldn't expect to be fitting much more than that in there. The valve opens smoothly and closes tightly; I can raise the bottle above my head while full and not expect any leakage. The only part that I have any concern for longevity is the rubber material that is on the bottom of the strap. This feels like it should be more elastic than it really is, but I do wonder how long this will last as it seems like the sewing of the strap to it could be the one weak point. Having said that, at the moment it is only a concern for the future as I have experienced no issues with keeping the bottle secure.

I use this product for training runs over 5 miles and for races over 5K. It gets me through between water stations and I have a few sips after taking an energy gel to help wash them down. I didn't want the larger size bottle as that would be too heavy to carry. 12oz is perfect, in my opinion. The zipper pouch is also very handy to store car keys and a chapstick. My only complaint is that sometimes the cap doesn't get a good seal and water will leak. If you purchase this product, beware of that. Otherwise I have not had any issues.

Purchased this to help me convert to liquid nutrition for my marathons and ironmans. The size is small enough not to really feel heavy, it fits well in my hand, and its easy to get used to. The small size works well with the coozie too because ur drink stays cold long enough to get to ur next nutrition stop, for me about 45 mins. The pocket is small and can fit 2 maybe 3 Gu gels. ONLY COMPLAINT is the lid leaks. It's a slow leak in the closable nozzle, that gets worse with time. The silicone or rubber valve shrinks and gets loose in the hole, and dosent really close off. Got as bad as i was loosing a good mouthful of fluid, and my shorts, shoes, legs, and hand got wet and sticky. If u se just water then it no prob, but i use nutrition so... but I was lucky enough to hit my local run store and they swapped me new ones but same probs. Lid leaks after about 5 uses. Had 3 lids in a year :( this last one doesn't leak as bad as the others, I don't notice an amount but I know it leaks cuz my hand still gets sticky. Over all I don't mind, it's done it's job well.

I was looking for a water bottle that I did not have to strap to my waist. I have the 8 oz fuelbelt bottles but they are cumbersome to get in and out of the straps. I found this bottle and thought it was an interesting design and the cost was very reasonable. I tell you it is fantastic. The strap is adjustable and the bottle is curved so it fits my hand perfectly. As I run the water is readily available. No more fidgeting with those straps. Even as the fluid level is depleted the sloshing is minimal. Must have something to do with the curve of the bottle maybe?? The strap also has a small zipper on the front that opens to a pouch to hold two cards (ID and Visa) and a key (house or car). The perfect bottle with the perfect accessory. Just what I was looking for. I understand that Amphipod makes a smaller version of this one. I guess that would be good for shorter runs or folks that can't hold a 20 oz bottle. Enjoy the hydration system, I sure am.

The bottle is very comfortable to hold and Amphipod must have updated the cap because mine worked perfectly from day one. No problem opening or closing the tip like others have reported. The insulation is good and helps keep the bottle from slipping in my hand while running, helps keep my hand from getting cold, and helps keep the drink a LITTLE but cooler, but not dramatically cooler. I wish the zipper compartment was a tad bigger, but its big enough to slip a gel or two into and/or a couple of keys even if it won't hold a smart phone or full sized ipod. Sounds like a decent water bottle, right? Well there are two issues I have with it: 1) The smell. The bottle had a horrible "plastic" smell when it arrived - I washed it with 4 or 5 different kinds of soaps/cleaners and the smell just wouldn't go away. After all the cleaning, it didn't seem to taint the taste of my Gatorade, but I can't help but think it is outgassing something into my drink. Its been 2 months later and the smell has greatly diminished, but its still there. I always store the bottle clean and with the cap off so it can air out. So if you've got a race this weekend - this isn't your bottle. 2) The bottom bottle strap is difficult to get on, and when the bottle gets wet, it slips off very easily. The last 3 times I've done long runs (over an hour) I've had the strap pop off the bottom when switching hands. Trying to fix the strap while sitting in your kitchen before a run is trivial. Trying to fix it while not tripping over tree roots 80 minutes into your run is completely different. I've paid for this bottle and the smell is slowly going away, so I'll continue to use it. But I wouldn't buy a second one for my wife to use.

Great little, compact water bottle for running. Holds the perfect amount of water.

Awkward design but works for what it is

Para nada era lo que esperaba, ya que lo usaría para correr, hay mejores ofertas en precio y beneficios del producto

I do like this bottle, and would probably give it 5 stars if it didn't seem so overpriced. The price doesn't really seem justified for the quality of materials (but then again there's nothing particularly competitive with it on the market so 🤷🏻‍♂️).
