Has anyone had experience using this for running? Looks like it could be cumbersome to open and drink from while moving.

I haven't tried this while running. It is true that as the bottle empties, it becomes less rigid, and i've occasionally used a finger from my other hand to balance the bottle. However, the top flips open like other plastic bottles, and it has two other lovely features: Attached to your belt, it won't bang against your thigh like metal bottles and can, when empty, be rolled up and stored in your pocket with the carabiner.

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.

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.

Given it assymetrically sits at your kidney level, I can't see it being comfortable running. Even walking a kilometer or 2, I am constantly pushing it back off my hip. Now I don't use the smaller cross strap, which might help but it won't eliminate this behavior.

Yeah there is extra space and its stretchy you might be able to fit in there. Ill be honest though this phone is so big that wearing it on your arm is always gonna be un comfortable. I recommend just holding it in your hand when you run

Did not use it for running ,I used it during fishing and it goes on my belt loop.The shuffle feature worked fine even when I had to cross the lake in ruff water.

I wouldn't think it is designed to be used as belt system. I either tie mine to a pack or put it in the hydration pocket within the pack. It is to long to put on the belt...it would flap against your leg and most like be very inconvenient. That is my two bits!

I guess so. This has been great to use while I run, but it does take some getting used to.

Yes, but I have noticed when I jog with it locked it seems to pull to the side a little. I normally run with it unlocked and it doesn't have a wobble like I have encountered with other joggers.

I don't recommend it. It is heavy, especially when it is filled. For biking I would use a camelbak style hydration system, it is good for frequent and small amount of water intake. It gets warm, for sure, and it is more troublesome to use (refill, cleaning etc). This thermos is good, if you combine it with a proper bag, like Maxpedition's Pigmy Falcon (you can bring two bottles), or Monsoon, also from Maxpedition.

Not specifically with this rig unless you want to add canteen pouches and canteens. I would just get a camelback, that's what we used in the Army, hands free drinking is very convenient.

Hi....absolutely...I use mine for marathon training and trail running...The bottles are very easy to access and replace after you drink. Good luck..

I've seen youtube video reviews, and a woman using them for running turned the shorts around so she carried in front; her weapon seemed more secure while running. When she carried it in back, she felt more movement, although the weapon was never in danger of becoming dislodged. It was more of where it felt the most snug. Either way, it has been used for running. I am buying a pair for that purpose for my S&W; Shield.

I've gigged with it a bunch. The bottle or small cup of water is better. If you shove a can in it, the pocket is deep and it's a hassle to get the can out. If you have good counter balance with a boom for your stand then a bottle of beer will work better or a standard plastic bottle of water or Gatorade is cool. Those you can take in and out easily.

It travels VERY well, but does sweat with very cold liquid. We use it daily and I have noticed after continuous use, if I shake the cup really hard it will leak a few drops. I does not leak during regular use or if left side ways on the floor.

I am afraid that I am also a runner. The clip opens about 2/3 of an inch. For setting a pace during a walk or run, it works like a charm. But I would suggest that you also consider the color. I have a black one. I am very satisfied with the product, but, if I had it to do over again, I would probably get one in a lighter color. There are situations where a small black object can be difficult to find.

Although I have never attached a hydration bottle to the belt it would be possible if their is a loop on the bottle. This reult in the bottle flopping around during a run as the belt has an elastic waste band. Wouldn't recommend it. The pouch has just enough room for my iPhone ad the other zip pouch has room to stuff keys, candy ...
